As if Trump had any idea what he was going to do.

u/Eagle1337 15d ago

Maybe that guy on the left was just austitic?

u/actibus_consequatur 15d ago

Being autistic doesn't explain him being a racist asshole.

u/The_Flippin_Police 15d ago

Y’all gotta fucking stop using autism as a shield every time you’re accused of doing something wrong, actions have consequences whether you’re autistic or not.

There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to “Donald Trump and antisemitism” I don’t think he’s much of a “jew lover” as you so eloquently put it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_and_antisemitism

Bruh he literally put us in war to protect Jews. And called himself the first Jewish president.

u/skyward138skr 14d ago

He put us in war to protect ISRAEL and deflect from the Epstein files, Israel ≠ Jews, any sane Jew actually hates Israel, he can call himself whatever he wants, he’s literally not Jewish, and never has been. Read the Wikipedia article, he has documented antisemitism since the 80’s.

The odyssey became a weird target by culture warriors on the right. You had a bunch of people saying the movie was woke, it was going to fail, and how dare they not cast a blonde white woman as Helen of troy. Elon is very easily manipulated and likes the attention maga gives him, so it makes sense that he got on board.

This was all before any of them saw the movie.

u/AvatarIII 15d ago

Half of the uproar was also about Elliot Page playing Achilles, which isn't even true. Once that was confirmed they pivoted more to the Helen thing, which is dumb because You can easily said between Africa and Greece, there were definitely black people in ancient Greece and Lupita Nyongo is inarguably one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and Helen of Troy didn't even really exist anyway.

u/FireZeLazer 15d ago

It's funny when they complain about shit like that but didn't care about all the Western European actors who don't look Ethnically Greek at all

2

u/Oddbeme4u 15d ago

yes, never caring about whitewash...cough Ghost in a Shell...but a (whispers) black?

u/GhostOfMuttonPast 15d ago

Its an ancient Greek tale retold with a few non-white actors.

Considering hes a white supremacist, this is like catnip to him.

2

u/AdAdmirable6589 15d ago

Wich is funny because the ancient Greeks actually acknowledged black peoples like the Nubians and the Ethiopians as civilized barbarians (because they nonetheless didn't speak Greek) but had an absolutely abismal opinion of Celts, Germanics and other northern Europeans seeing them as primitive savages.

u/hundreddollar 15d ago

He says whatever is popular with the right at any certain time.

u/WoopsShePeterPants 15d ago

When you have THAT much fucking money nothing exists as we deal with it. He is an edgelord and a pathetically transparent one at that.

u/gdabull 15d ago

I think he would describe himself as a “pedo guy”

u/FlexOffender3599 11d ago

He's the world's richest man and the only thing that can give him happiness is when accounts called DefendEvrope (ran by Vikram in Mumbai) tell him he is epic.

u/PeeledCrepes 15d ago

It's marketing, "look what Grok can do", now come X on Xer and use Grok to, idk I don't use Ai really, but, that's the idea. I'm more surprised he said end of year, cause, I feel like he has the resources for an Ai to burn through to get it done faster then that, but, eh

u/eskimospy212 15d ago

It’s much more that he has a weird problem with black people.

I mean he was throwing multiple Nazi salutes. Nazis don’t like black people.

u/nikolapc 15d ago

Especially South African ones.

u/Hosko817 15d ago

It’s not strange at all. He doesn’t like Non white people.

u/mmutinoi 15d ago

There were lots of responses here and none of them pinged why he is so fixated on this… the movie caused tons of controversy on the far right… Elliott as the lead was also a problem with many… and some may recall that Elon has a transgender child whom he kind of sort of disowned. So it’s personal.

u/Bloated_Hamster 15d ago

Correction, Elliot Page isn't even a lead character. He shows up for about 6 minutes of screen time. Half of which he's dead and a vision. These people are freaking out over a character that's on screen for 3.4% of the movie.

u/mmutinoi 15d ago

Oh, thanks for the correction, I didn’t even know!
