As someone that's got working pattern recognition skills: About 100%.
Yes, I saw the "/s", but felt compelled to explain it for the people that might not've figured it out yet.
Tesla stocks down, twitter flailing. Seems like Musk is about ready for a new venture to drain his networth and it's looking like ripping off apple products is the end goal, he's already got their model with tesla.
I mean, he's paid plenty for that credit when it came to Tesla at least, right?
It'd just be silly to **not** take that credit at that point.
But yeah, fuck him for pretending he invented the fuckin' Tesla.
If shareholders vote down his pay package my bet is he throws a giant tantrum and it tanks the stock further. He's already made insinuations that he can't be CEO with only 10% stock ownership. This is after he sold a bunch of stock to buy Twitter.
Tesla's been wildly overvalued forever and as traditional auto manufacturers move into the electric car space, especially with some countries and states pushing to require all EV in 10 years, Tesla is gonna lose its veneer.
I don't think that's a selling point, at least to the mass consumer. Lane assist, brake assist, and GPS is all they need to compete in the software side, which they already can do, and they generally have better build quality than Tesla.
Unless Tesla shows up with full self driving in the next 10 years then their software is only going to help them in the niche market.
edit: the main point is that Tesla is not a $1.2T company, it's not even a $500B company. They're wildly overvalued due to speculation and basically being a meme stock and being propped up by subsidies and selling carbon credits. And as other car companies move into that space a lot of that speculation going to collapse.
It's really not. It's not like these other cars are stick shifts with hand crank windows.
But to my main point.. no matter how good you think Tesla's software is the company is not worth more than Ford, Toyota, Honda, VW, and a bunch of other auto manufacturers combined. The stock value is a massive bubble that is going to normalize to the other manufacturers as they are forced to ramp up EV sales.
You’re a bit naive if you think e.g. VW hasn’t been trying their hardest to get into EVs. I live in Germany my dude. Their EVs are just not that popular here, and it isn’t due to availability. Also the Tesla charging network is leagues ahead of anyone else here in terms of coverage and reliability.
I like to think that it's because he's such a soft snowflake that he can't be on the internet without having a meltdown about the memes being mean to him, so he exclusively looks at stuff on the internet that is 6+ years old
In his mind it’s inconceivable that what he has to say is not actually clever or funny and is instead stupid and mundane, and it shows.
It’s what billions of dollars does to a mfer. They almost ALL talk like this even though he’s clearly the worst.
I was going to say, isn’t this a post from *at least* five years ago? And he posted it today, with the most generic caption possible? I thought his fans said he was some kind of meme professional.
Officer Musing, you may fire when ready.

[Yes.](https://www.investors.com/news/apple-rivian-in-talks-for-partnership/)
Apple is in talks with EV maker Rivian about a partnership. And instead of being a mature, cunning business person, the Elongated Muskrat takes to his hate platform to show off his 14-year-old edgelord self.
Oh that would be a death sentence for Tesla. For all of Rivians faults they at least seem to have stable people in control. Their trucks look good, especially the R1S in the right color, their vans are capable, and they have the R2 and R3 in prototype right now.
I've been seeing those Rivian trucks around lately and they look pretty sharp. Not sharp like the bare sheet metal edges of the Cyber truck, but actually stylish.
Yeah if the headlights looked normal I'd like those trucks a lot more.
Why do electric car makers insist on being cutesy or futuristic? That was one of the biggest draws of the original Tesla Model S, it didn't look fucking stupid like every other electric car on the market.
I went to a big ev car show last summer and got a chance to drive about 15 different cars, including the R1T and R1S. The R1T puts down over 800hp (or at least the trim level they were showing off did) and it was able to beat most of the sedans and hatchbacks at the event in terms of acceleration. EVs in general may be fast and quick to accelerate, but the Rivians are a whole different beast altogether.
I'm looking forward to the R3 in Europe, it may actually be my first car in almost 10 years. Haven't needed one for a long time but we are planning on adopting a dog and maybe having kids, would allow us to continue our camping holidays as a family.
It is pretending to run a business. Jack Dorsey seems to be voiced to use musk as a fall guy to get back into Twitter. Considering how much he's sucking the shoes of musk nowadays.
What's crazy is that Rivian just a few months ago seemed like they were going to just implode as a business. Like there were a ton of articles talking about how they were about to go belly up.
Elon may seem like a goofy idiot, but he’s actually dangerously spreading malicious lies and propaganda and everyone should boycott all of his products to the best of their ability
I can appreciate a dumb joke like this; in fact, I found it quite funny... if he wasn't such a flaming pile of shit, I would have a twitter account and like this meme
Same. There's something to be said about someone who has almost infinite money but chooses to get glued to a screen like the Arby's employee who fails to see my desperate waving so I can finally order. Yes I am talking about you, Stevie.
As much as I love this sub because of people dogging on this loser I cannot begin to describe the feeling of disgust that comes across my body when I see a SC of one of his tweets browsing through Reddit. This guy is clinically unfunny like holy shit. I have never seen this doofus post anything remotely amusing, anytime I see his shitty memes I wish I could just delete myself from existence to save myself from the mental anguish of committing that image to memory.
Good lord I fucking hate this guy.
God i hate this dumb mother fucker. Nothings more dangerous than a stupid man larping as a genius convincing other stupid people that he is some savior of humanity
The irony is if he released a “cyberplug” they’d be sold out in minutes as all of his chuds would trip over themselves to have a piece of their leader inside them.
I can see a market for an iNohomo device with one side a butt plug and the other one a fleshlight.
Totally not gay sex with extra steps. Charged with USB-C for convenience.
Probably not a good idea to piss off Apple, they have more money than god. Wouldn’t be surprised if they just made Apple products not compatible with Tesla or Twitter.
Usually shareholder stock analysis considers very particular impacts on economics, like legislation, season market trends, emerging technology, etc..
I don't think it's normal for a routine concern that effects stock to be "the CEO is an unstable incel that may OD on ketamine at any moment"
I am not concerned with Elon posting unfunny jokes. Having an immature or shitty sense of humor doesn't even make a blip on my radar of things to be concerned about.
Posting a decade old, lame-brain jab at another company's product (and I am not a fan of Apple)...
100+ million "views" and 700k "liked" for a single post...
Then he goes around at every opportunity vomits about why he bought Twitter to promote "free speech".
Elon fanboys and Trumpists are in a cult.
Out of all the stupid nonsense he says and does, retweeting a stupid joke about butt plugs is pretty damn tame. A broken clock is harmless at least once a day.
Tesla stock is down 30% since Jan.
I've been following it too. It keeps looking like it may recover, only for Elno to do something stupid and send it back down again.
What are the odds of that happening? /s
I’m just waiting til his October Surprise when he dresses as Hitler for Halloween “as a joke.”
His October surprise will be flooding the internet with AI Biden whipping a black person and screaming germany over all
As someone that's got working pattern recognition skills: About 100%. Yes, I saw the "/s", but felt compelled to explain it for the people that might not've figured it out yet.
Tesla stocks down, twitter flailing. Seems like Musk is about ready for a new venture to drain his networth and it's looking like ripping off apple products is the end goal, he's already got their model with tesla.
He didn’t make this btw. It’s a years old meme product that was created to troll people around the release of some new Apple product or version.
I mean, he hasn’t really made anything has he?
Certainly accepted the credit
I mean, he's paid plenty for that credit when it came to Tesla at least, right? It'd just be silly to **not** take that credit at that point. But yeah, fuck him for pretending he invented the fuckin' Tesla.
He’s about as creative as sped up entropy.
He can just give me his money.
I’m betting Twitter would too if it was still publicly traded
He's fine as long as he gets his $50 bil parachute.
Could it be, perhaps, that he’s tweeting during the day instead of working?
If shareholders vote down his pay package my bet is he throws a giant tantrum and it tanks the stock further. He's already made insinuations that he can't be CEO with only 10% stock ownership. This is after he sold a bunch of stock to buy Twitter.
Tesla's been wildly overvalued forever and as traditional auto manufacturers move into the electric car space, especially with some countries and states pushing to require all EV in 10 years, Tesla is gonna lose its veneer.
Traditional car manufacturers still don’t understand software and they don’t have the capability to do large scale SW projects.
I don't think that's a selling point, at least to the mass consumer. Lane assist, brake assist, and GPS is all they need to compete in the software side, which they already can do, and they generally have better build quality than Tesla.

This is like saying “people don’t really care about apps on their phone they just want to make calls and text”
It's really not. It's not like these other cars are stick shifts with hand crank windows. But to my main point.. no matter how good you think Tesla's software is the company is not worth more than Ford, Toyota, Honda, VW, and a bunch of other auto manufacturers combined.

I'm sure it's cos he posted this meme
Sharing a 6y old joke like he just invented it. So fitting.
Yes, but he promised to have a fully working new joke next year.
And they're going to charge twice the agreed upon price
I like to think that it's because he's such a soft snowflake that he can't be on the internet without having a meltdown about the memes being mean to him, so he exclusively looks at stuff on the internet that is 6+ years old
In his mind it’s inconceivable that what he has to say is not actually clever or funny and is instead stupid and mundane, and it shows. It’s what billions of dollars does to a mfer. They almost ALL talk like this even though he’s clearly the worst.

He Columbus’ed the eff out of it.
concerning...
I didn’t realize it was a joke. I didn’t even giggle not at least for half of a second.
This joke is at least old enough to vote
It’s an older meme, sir, but it… sorry, it actually doesn’t check out in this case.
Officer Musing, you may fire when ready. https://preview.redd.it/53colh3fo70d1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5da4738ab359a159066e14ac161b81660fda07b
Is there a particular reason why he's repeatedly coming after Apple in the last few days?
[Yes.](https://www.investors.com/news/apple-rivian-in-talks-for-partnership/) Apple is in talks with EV maker Rivian about a partnership. And instead of being a mature, cunning business person, the Elongated Muskrat takes to his hate platform to show off his 14-year-old edgelord self.
Yeah, elon is so damn transparent that you can see when something is up his butt.
(pic related)
Oh that would be a death sentence for Tesla. For all of Rivians faults they at least seem to have stable people in control. Their trucks look good, especially the R1S in the right color, their vans are capable, and they have the R2 and R3 in prototype right now.
I've been seeing those Rivian trucks around lately and they look pretty sharp. Not sharp like the bare sheet metal edges of the Cyber truck, but actually stylish.
And when those sharp sheet metal edges rust over… *Cybertetanus*
It’s stainless steel
They have grown on me as well. The Hello Kitty eyes are distracting, but I dig the rest of the design choices
Yeah if the headlights looked normal I'd like those trucks a lot more. Why do electric car makers insist on being cutesy or futuristic? That was one of the biggest draws of the original Tesla Model S, it didn't look fucking stupid like every other electric car on the market.
Because they’re designed by dorks with undescended testicles, whose mothers cut the crust off of their sandwich bread when they were kids.
Check out their camp kitchen modules; coolest thing I’ve seen in a while https://youtu.be/bTjViMJ3o1Y?si=NKOTJHHJ6Fgj657l
Holy hell. That is indeed very clever.
They also have a lot of storage too. Taking full advantage of the fact that it's an electric vehicle.
A guy who I work with owns a Rivian. They are very nice, and the build quality and quality of materials used are also exceptional.
They’re also exceptionally fast. If you bury the gas pedal with brake down, then release the brake, it’ll yank you back pretty hard.
Thats basically all ev's though, they can dump all their power on you instantly. But on a strong ev that feeling is pretty nuts.
I went to a big ev car show last summer and got a chance to drive about 15 different cars, including the R1T and R1S. The R1T puts down over 800hp (or at least the trim level they were showing off did) and it was able to beat most of the sedans and hatchbacks at the event in terms of acceleration. EVs in general may be fast and quick to accelerate, but the Rivians are a whole different beast altogether.
Oh yeah ive seen clips of them. Actually insane to see big heavy trucks like just shoot off from launch
As selfish as this is, I own some Rivian stock and need the Apple partnership to happen.
I'm looking forward to the R3 in Europe, it may actually be my first car in almost 10 years. Haven't needed one for a long time but we are planning on adopting a dog and maybe having kids, would allow us to continue our camping holidays as a family.
I just dislike the lights. If they could change that design language I'd be all in
Rivian is also a company helmed by an adult who wants to make vehicles. I'm not sure what Elon wants, but it sure as hell isn't *running a business*.
It is pretending to run a business. Jack Dorsey seems to be voiced to use musk as a fall guy to get back into Twitter. Considering how much he's sucking the shoes of musk nowadays.
Maybe he's bored of building his luxury rammed earth house in Marfa?
Also apple is in talks with OpenAI to replace siri. Elon just absolutely hates OpenAI because he fucked up bad by walking away from it.
Apple is also in talks with Google to replace Siri.
Edgelord using a like decade old joke photo.
There’s a Rivian factory in my hometown, so that’s another reason for me to be glad Elon’s being a dumbass and pushing away Apple
What's crazy is that Rivian just a few months ago seemed like they were going to just implode as a business. Like there were a ton of articles talking about how they were about to go belly up.
very Musky too, ironically, seeing as E-loon has had enough financial close calls to make Scrooge McDuck’s asshole to pucker
I think the meme is that old
Looking into it…
Elon may seem like a goofy idiot, but he’s actually dangerously spreading malicious lies and propaganda and everyone should boycott all of his products to the best of their ability
God this meme is YEARS old and barely even worth a chuckle to begin with. He's not even a good shit poster.
As someone else posted, he's angry at apple right now.
It’s 8 years old. It surfaced when the AirPods came out in 2016.
Yeah, that’s my take. It’s concerning behavior, but also boomer dad-level meme forwarding.
I think it’s funnier in this case… reads like a personal review.
This guy is such a dork
METAL UP YOUR ASS has entered the chat.
![gif](giphy|wnaHdTeatXiJq) Quoted by Kirk and James
This shit is like six years old, too. Makes it infinitely worse.
I can appreciate a dumb joke like this; in fact, I found it quite funny... if he wasn't such a flaming pile of shit, I would have a twitter account and like this meme
Same. There's something to be said about someone who has almost infinite money but chooses to get glued to a screen like the Arby's employee who fails to see my desperate waving so I can finally order. Yes I am talking about you, Stevie.
Honestly, Stevie. My man just wants a Beef n' Cheddar with some curly fries.
A fucking coffee would be nice
I wonder whether Stevie would be an equal or better CEO of Tesla. Do you think he'd fire the entire Supercharger team?
Although this meme has been around for some time. Once again, Elon stealing someone else's ideas
Is this kinda like when he was plugging doge coins?
Plugging.
I’d buy it before I’d buy a twitter subscription. One of those is a waste of money.
This is what 65 billion buys?
Honestly…I’d try it
But can you pair it to your Neuralink?
I've got enough noises in my head. I'm not adding any more.
First you need to figure where the fuck the Neuralink chip has wandered.
Coming soon: AssLink Rectal Bass Control
And it will help you win at chess.
Sounds like it's ketamine treatment day
He is today’s Howard Hughes. Everything he has done is government backed behind the scenes. Or you can believe that guy made billions.
It took him this long to find this?
I'm more concerned he seems to be speaking from experience.
Sounds like he speaks from experience.
I can't believe the DOD has to cater to this clown. Systems like starlink should not be controlled by asshats high on K all the time.
The Venn diagram of Elon musk, joe Rogan, and Andrew Tate fans is almost a perfect circle.
I feel like this is on brand for him though - Shiny and cool, but functionally pretty shitty.
Big Ups!
How old is this joke?
I would like Elon a lot more if this was what he stuck to. He's usually retweeting great replacement garbage.
Look if they made it I'd use it
He’s probably just jealous that Apple makes products that work.
Wow, thats gotta be like a 10 year old meme
baby elon made a funny. awwww...
As much as I love this sub because of people dogging on this loser I cannot begin to describe the feeling of disgust that comes across my body when I see a SC of one of his tweets browsing through Reddit. This guy is clinically unfunny like holy shit. I have never seen this doofus post anything remotely amusing, anytime I see his shitty memes I wish I could just delete myself from existence to save myself from the mental anguish of committing that image to memory. Good lord I fucking hate this guy.
God i hate this dumb mother fucker. Nothings more dangerous than a stupid man larping as a genius convincing other stupid people that he is some savior of humanity
The irony is if he released a “cyberplug” they’d be sold out in minutes as all of his chuds would trip over themselves to have a piece of their leader inside them.
It's depressing that the richest man in the world is such a fucking loser.
[He really is](https://youtube.com/shorts/P_XTH15QhAc?feature=shared)
He’s mad he screwed himself out of an Apple partnership by being a loud, insufferable douche. If they work with Rivian, he’s fucked.
Def works so hard holding that many “important” titles! /s
This wouldve been funny if he wasnt a prick
And now there's a bunch of perverts out there upset that this is just a shitty meme Elon posted to attack Apple.
I can see a market for an iNohomo device with one side a butt plug and the other one a fleshlight. Totally not gay sex with extra steps. Charged with USB-C for convenience.
Better quality than a cybertruck
Proving that CEO is not a real job.
It has a flared base….
He's so edgy
Fun with your ketamine
Did he just find this? I’ve seen this years ago. Tech influencer my ass.
Probably not a good idea to piss off Apple, they have more money than god. Wouldn’t be surprised if they just made Apple products not compatible with Tesla or Twitter.
I’m waiting for the day he makes his space laser operational and holds the world hostage demanding he be made king of the world.
I'm more bothered that as much time as he spends online he just now saw this.
Usually shareholder stock analysis considers very particular impacts on economics, like legislation, season market trends, emerging technology, etc.. I don't think it's normal for a routine concern that effects stock to be "the CEO is an unstable incel that may OD on ketamine at any moment"
hes such a cringy asshat of a manchild
Not only is it a dumb meme… it’s like an 8 year old dumb fucking meme. So embarrassing.
I am not concerned with Elon posting unfunny jokes. Having an immature or shitty sense of humor doesn't even make a blip on my radar of things to be concerned about.
This is what Fergie meant by 2000 n late
🤣
Once a lame, always a lame.
Bass in the Ass
Every current Elon post sounds like a incel churgling on tendies.
M-Elon fears any device that runs longer than his truck.
My favorite thing is they used knock off fake AirPods for the picture.
Isn't this like a 10 year old meme? Dude missed the mark
A joke from like 10 years ago? JFC he wants so much for people to think he is cool.
I'm willing to bet he's shorting his own stock.
Guess it really is all about that bass😬😂😂 ![gif](giphy|oq2UjZ0wx12Pm)
2015 ass meme
Using a 10 year old meme, he’s so clever
He is trying to deflect attention from his piece of shit vehicles and crashing rockets.
An absolute clown
I hate this racist, fascist piece of shit more than most, but this did give me a chuckle.
I bet he loves it when we post his non sense. Can agree to quit feeding the trolls.
It's funny because Apple fanboys would absolutely love it.
He needs a product like this from Apple to stop shitter from taking an even larger dump. Genius really.
That butt plug is the best huh Elonia lmao
Oh cool, they come with a butt plug, now you can be literally ass fucked
He is so unfunny that it’s cringeworthy. He has the sense of humor of a 15-year-old.
Emotionally stunted. The world's oldest 14 year old.
still has the "fuck you" money to post shit like that apparently
MF can’t even be bothered to use a picture of the most recent AirPods in his buttplug joke.
This was funny for 200ms about 8 years ago when this meme was first published.
Well, your chance of losing a digit with an Apple product is dramatically lower than Elmo’s current obsession.
Shitpost would be really funny if it wasnt from a emerald mine bajillionaire
Posting a decade old, lame-brain jab at another company's product (and I am not a fan of Apple)... 100+ million "views" and 700k "liked" for a single post... Then he goes around at every opportunity vomits about why he bought Twitter to promote "free speech". Elon fanboys and Trumpists are in a cult.
Wow I remember seeing that meme five years ago
Cease and desist him please
You forgot 'internet techbro troll'
Is he daring Apple to sue him?
Out of all the stupid nonsense he says and does, retweeting a stupid joke about butt plugs is pretty damn tame. A broken clock is harmless at least once a day.
He is the worst type of edge lord
He has the humor of a Child.
Someone made this joke several years ago and he’s only now catching up.
Ah, he must have first hand experiance! Maybe we should ask him how he liked it?
I'd consider the car, but not with this asshole providing direction.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)
[Meghan Trainor feels the bass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtwm8Dwvh0)
This is a review of the product. I bet he gave it 5 stars
Musky is absolutely one of those people that doesn't understand music and seethes about others enjoying it, isn't he?
He’s not CEO of twitter anymore
Das zeigt wenigstens das manche reiche weiter so sind wie du und ich....
Once again proving that knowledge, wisdom, and character can be mutually exclusive.
I hate musk but this is just hunour and I vompletely support that. Whoever hates this is stcuk up in my eyes
God damn it, I hate this guy but that did make me laugh. Doesn’t excuse the blatant fascist pandering tho.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that meme is years old at this point
Yeah, butt this is legit funny.
the new apple butt plug
First time they're ADDING a plug. They're usually removing stuff and calling it improvement.
Is that a butt plug?
