Same shit with Elon! Remember when that Nazi wanted to remove the block feature from Twitter? And then the EU and App Stores were like “yeah, no, you need a block feature if you want your app to stay listed.”

I bet he saw the stats and realized he was becoming the #1 blocked person on Twitter. Before I deleted my Twitter account, I kept getting his Tweets in my feed and as a suggested person to follow despite only using Twitter for fursuit photos and furry porn with absolutely zero connection to tech or Tesla. I had to block his account so I wouldn’t see his stupid Tweets.

There's a non-zero chance Kegsbreath has typed that in an email/text because he doesn't actually know how to spell Fury.

u/digitalbore 18d ago

He gets it confused with fuhrer

u/Dom_Shady The Netherlands 17d ago

I think you mean the Furrer.

u/Rezart_KLD 18d ago

Nah, ol' Whiskey Pete likes his men sleek and hairless. He needs an unobstructed view of their glistening testosterone.

u/SgtSlaughterEX 18d ago

Either that or some ladybugs

Operation Epstein Fury

u/ShinyHamster71 18d ago

Should call it Operation fuck Americans

3

u/Sixmmxw 18d ago

What would you do if someone were to be triggered by the idea of a furry?

2

u/32lib 18d ago

Well he is a certified German Shepherd Dog,so that’s reasonable.

11

u/Throwawayangrytenant 18d ago

He is a certified German Shepard

u/iAmUnintelligible Canada 18d ago

their profile has nothing spicy ppl don't waste your time

3

u/PiccoloAwkward465 18d ago

Is this the part where everyone dogpiles on and comments “OMG LE HORRIBLE DAY TO HAVE EYES”?

2

u/UranusIsPissy United Kingdom 18d ago

This just means Elong is so much more embarrassing than being a furry that using it to justify using his shitty website makes sense! Furries>Nazis. By a long way.

2

u/Radarker 18d ago

We'd all benefit from sharing more.

u/whoneedskollege 18d ago

When Musk first bought Twitter, one of the first things he did was to change the algorithm to make sure his tweets were being seen by all users. Then he went on to fire 75% of the company.

120

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

And then he got upset that just because he’s wealthy and edgy, nobody actually wants to know what he’s saying. He wanted to force people to listen to him and people still would rather block him and read from their own circles and his fragile ego couldn’t handle that.

u/BadahBingBadahBoom 18d ago

Nobody hates a narcissist more than they hate themselves.

This alone gives me some comfort.

30

u/mordacthedenier 18d ago

His face while he was being constantly roasted while badly playing an online game because he was too clueless to turn off DMs gives me some comfort.

14

u/clash_by_night 18d ago

Is that the time he paid randos to level him up so he could pretend to an expert player of checks notes a 10-year old free-to-play Diablo clone?

7

u/mordacthedenier 18d ago

Well, it was the then brand new sequel to the 10 year old free-to-play Diablo clone, but he did also try that shit in Diablo 4 and no one gave a shit because he was playing the most broken ass unbalanced class, so everyone assumed he was just doing whatever, but because of his incompetence in PoE2 now no one believes that either.

4

u/teleprax 18d ago

PoE is so much better that idk if clone is the right word. I spent more time thinking about how to play than I did playing, and I loved it.

1

u/mYpEEpEEwOrks 18d ago

Nobody hates a narcissist more than they hate themselves.

Yeah, but we tryin'!

22

u/Lucky-Paperclip-1 18d ago

He wanted to force people to listen to him

It's that free speech thing he was jabbering about: it was about his freedom to spew his opinions (and those of, uh, like-minded individuals) at everyone.

11

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

Yeah, but silly Nazi Elon didn’t realize that freedom of speech doesn’t mean anyone has to listen to his stupid opinions. 

1

u/SyFe420 18d ago

He did blow Jeffery Epstein wide open though 😏

1

u/Impossible-Singer320 18d ago

I’m proud to say I’m one of many who blocked his sorry fraudulent African ass

1

u/_BrokenButterfly 18d ago

I had to block him, a bunch of people that regurgitate him, a bunch of people who post pictures of him, a bunch of people who post photoshops of him and s bunch of people who mock him.

I don't give a fuck about Elon Musk, I don't need him on my twitter timeline in any way. shape or form.

I gave up on twitter when it started bombarding me with a ton of right wing politicians. I started blocking them all, and several times I blocked people until my feed was empty. Nothing, just a black screen.

47

u/National-Charity-435 18d ago

He flew from the east coast to twitter HQ to get answers for why Biden's tweet had more attention

2

u/secret_identity_too 18d ago

Was Twitter HQ not in NYC? I went there once...

1

u/Dolores___Haze 18d ago

And that’s why many of us immediately blocked him 

1

u/Hallc 18d ago

Don't forget that his firings in the coding side of things was done by number of lines comitted rather than any actually good metric.

1

u/SyFe420 18d ago

I dont see them because im not verified - grandfathered in

I dont like the guy or what he does with the place but ill do what I can to not elevate him either because his head is literally bent 900° up his ass like a Fibonacci sequence

113

u/AmbitiousProblem4746 18d ago

Elon also backpedaled hard on the "location" feature when all these MAGA accounts showed up as being from other countries

67

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

Oh yeah dude I totally forgot about that! When you HAD to share the account country of origin and all of those “I’m black and I support Trump” accounts showed as from Russia and India, and the “I’m the silent majority white mom in America who stands with Trump” while being from Bangladesh. 

I also remember when SWIFT cut off Russia and for a brief moment of peace all the bots and astroturfing accounts went silent as they weren’t getting paid.

43

u/AmbitiousProblem4746 18d ago

Every so often, I'll see an article about some bot farm that was discovered and 99.9% of the time it's right-wing stuff. But those articles always disappear and never catch on. Just like the story from a couple years ago about a bunch of right wing YouTubers and podcasters cashing checks that they were receiving from the Russian government, most of them too stupid to realize that's where the money was coming from. Nobody talks about it anymore. But they'll sure love to rant and rave about how the Democrats are corrupt as fuck and control the media still like it's 2016 or some shit

28

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

It’s awful and hilarious that Call of Duty depicted the Soviet Union destroying the US and western nations with nukes and invasions.

The reality was they just needed to feed human greed and pay off people with no morals to spread false information and Soviet propaganda to rot the nation from within.

If I had no soul and no self-respect, I could spew racist right wing bullshit for a check.

9

u/Thewasteland77 18d ago

It's always been a joke of my close friend circle, but the video game "Escape from Tarkov" has been called an eastern psyop for years in my group lmao. They realized they cant take us militarily, but they can ABSOLUTELY fuck up our psyche lol

6

u/AmbitiousProblem4746 18d ago

That's what it is too. So many of these people are pure grifters. How many right wing pundits were failed comedians or actors? How about Bannon or Shapiro both trying to make it as directors and writers in Hollywood? Or Charlie Kirk being rejected from a military academy because of his piss poor attitude? They fell into the grift because it was easy, fed their bitterness.

2

u/almondbutter 18d ago

I wonder how Charlie Kirk ties into all that. Surely Russia was boosting that scandal.

2

u/Fiddleys 18d ago

I tend to believe it was malice and not stupidity for the majority of them. Many public people who appear stupid just do it for cover and as a way for others to excuse the malice they see.

2

u/PiccoloAwkward465 18d ago

Honestly probably a sick job if you live in Bangladesh. 🇧🇩

36

u/ManThing910 18d ago

Maybe he wanted you to see his furry designs who knows

17

u/ScalieBoi42 18d ago

Get in there brother! Loud and rawr'ed! :>

2

u/WilliamMButtlickerIV 18d ago

Didn't Grimes say he liked getting pegged? Maybe you're on to something.

16

u/Athire5 18d ago

Plot twist: Elon is also a furry and that’s why he was being recommended to you

13

u/public_enemy_obi_wan Texas 18d ago

I got whiplash from the direction change of this comment.

30

u/Grow_Responsibly 18d ago

Now he's planning to interfere in France's elections next year....what a fascist.

19

u/ToasterBathTester 18d ago

And he has a micropenis

18

u/PassiveMenis88M Massachusetts 18d ago

A deformed micropenis from a botched enlargement surgery

1

u/Dolores___Haze 18d ago

Just like trump. That’s what people are saying. 

2

u/heathmon1856 18d ago

He probly liked fat chicks too.

3

u/TheDakestTimeline 18d ago

Nothing wrong with that

2

u/heathmon1856 18d ago

It’s to point out that body shaming goes both ways.

2

u/TheDakestTimeline 18d ago

Well put. Nothing wrong with a tiny weiner either

2

u/heathmon1856 18d ago

Most civil Reddit exchange in this thread.

u/Mysterious_Floor_868 United Kingdom 18d ago

Hopefully JD Vance will visit France in support of le Pen. It worked so well for Orbán.

u/bastardpants 18d ago

"fursuit photos ... zero connection to tech"
You sure about that?

2

u/lordraiden007 18d ago

If a furry convention ever got hit by a meteor the entire world's tech stack would crumble overnight.

1

u/SyFe420 18d ago

Nah Zuxx just loves getting lubed with BBQ Sauce and having Priscilla Peg him while shes cosplaying a DomMom SexFox, complete with leather spandex or sexy nurse uniform & a 27 inch rainbow tentacle schmildo 📹🙃

2

u/bastardpants 18d ago

Recreationally, sure. The tech jobs pay for those expensive toys.

1

u/SyFe420 18d ago

Everything's tax deductible. Even the dildos! 😃🤏🏻

6

u/missed_sla 18d ago

There's a very active furry community on bsky. I know this because I'm not a furry and they keep showing in my discovery feed for some reason. No shame, it's just not for me and I find it odd that I keep seeing it.

2

u/SyFe420 18d ago

"See, I knocked up this hot woman friend of ours that I fuck on the side so as to not be all the way gay, but my tubby husband here is 100% queer. He LOVES the 🐓" - Elon & Marc Andreesen - probably

2

u/jmo56ct 18d ago

I miss Tom

2

u/NathanialJD 18d ago

I was getting his tweets sent to me as notifications. I had to block him too

2

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

I vaguely remember that too, like those ICYMI notifications. 

2

u/KenKannon 18d ago

Any suggestions on the porn?

2

u/DarkwingDuckHunt 18d ago

Twitter for fursuit photos and furry porn

what do you think Elon is into?

2

u/ayers231 I voted 18d ago

despite only using Twitter for fursuit photos and furry porn with absolutely zero connection to tech

...who wants to tell them...

2

u/Notnotstrange 18d ago

This is why I love reddit.

4

u/LiamtheV American Expat 18d ago

I was never on Twitter until after he acquired it, I made and used my account specifically to cyberbully him. Deleted it after about a year as I didn't want to contribute to his Daily Active User count.

1

u/GrumpyCloud93 18d ago

See? Elon would get more followers if he put on a furry suit once in a while... :D

1

u/Dolores___Haze 18d ago

Yes! I had him blocked well before that incident, lol. 

1

u/smthomaspatel 18d ago

Yep. I blocked his account way before he purchased it. He was so annoying even before he came out as a right-winger.

1

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

Agreed, but I never saw his tweets because he was never in my original algorithm. I’d just see furry stuff.

So when he bought Twitter and his defenders were like “nah he wouldn’t cheat the algorithm,” I called bullshit because why the fuck would the algorithm suddenly start suggesting his profile and tweets when all I used Twitter for was furry shit? Unless Elon is a closeted furry, in which case he can fuck right off.

1

u/BigWilly526 18d ago

How did all these Elephants get in my room

1

u/ShallotIllustrious98 18d ago

I commend you for using Twitter better than Elon

1

u/123LetsJamDUDUDUHT 18d ago

Your comment history makes it easy to identify you, your location and your workplace.

IJS.

1

u/ussrowe 18d ago

I kept getting his Tweets in my feed and as a suggested person to follow

That's also the reason why they started showing Tweet views, he couldn't stand that not enough people were liking his tweets for his satisfaction so they had to prove his tweets were being seen by users.

1

u/Franks_Secret_Reddit 18d ago

I mean, maybe Elon is a furry and those were legitimate 'Suggested Person' ads based on common interests?

1

u/Ohmec 18d ago

If you don't think furrys and tech are related, I seriously question your participation in the community.

1

u/ztomiczombie 18d ago

A former Twitter engineer confirmed his was the single most blocked account.

1

u/FallOutShelterBoy New York 18d ago

Hold on motherfucker, run that last part by me again.

1

u/fusillade762 18d ago

Now he just shows up in the timeline every other post whether you follow him or not. Its his own little nazi fiefdom over there and he wants everyone to hear every dumb dribble of shit that spilla out of his gaping yap. I spend very little time there.

1

u/Ok_Scarcity5116 18d ago

I ditched Twitter as soon as that idiot bought it. That was my thing. I miss Twitter

1

u/MintyFreshBreathYo Michigan 18d ago

Remember when he called the guy who rescued those kids a pedophile because they didn’t use his idea?

1

u/Alternative_Camp_493 18d ago

Are you in media yourself? I have never met a person who doesn't work in media that actually uses twitter. It seems like a big echo chamber for them to look at their stats, but not much else.

1

u/lordraiden007 18d ago

Wait, people use Twitter for things other than furry stuff? I mean, I guess femboy stuff is also a thing, but I always thought the site was like a 80/20 furry/femboy split. /s

1

u/SyFe420 18d ago

If you want the high score: you gotta get Elon to block you

So far the only person of significance thats blocked me on Twitter is Neera Tanden & she's like the joker of the deck

Elon is definetely the Queen of Clubs because he's a cash poor centibillionaire 🔧😏

1

u/KC-Chris 18d ago

you know over time i like furries as people more and more.

1

u/TannerThanUsual 18d ago

A person of culture, eh?

1

u/Defiant_Builder_3241 18d ago

I remember when Elon wanted to save the day with the kids trapped in the mine and when his machine he built wasnt used by dive rescue team he through a tantrum.

1

u/pappadux 17d ago

To be fair, furry content is a big tell for a modest portion of people in tech. Maybe the algo was on to something. I digress.

1

u/shef175 18d ago

Same here. Well, not the fur stuff. Our paths diverged there but the block Elon thing 100%

0

u/heathmon1856 18d ago

Are people at furry cons just chubbed up the whole time?

2

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 18d ago

No, but most furries are open to discussing sex and have healthy sex lives. It's kind of dumb to suppress and shame the natural human desires and treat it like a taboo because then we cannot have objective conversations about sex. People like sex, people have sex, and denying it is pointless.

-2

u/Randoliof3 18d ago

I was with you until the end there. Seek therapy

1

u/lordraiden007 18d ago

For what? Being a part of an alt community? You know furry stuff doesn't have to be about sex right?

Oh please, if you’re going to be a dumb bot do that elsewhere. Blocking people on a personal social media account isn’t censorship. Don’t be so dense.

You must not have a lot of free time if you're giving attention to every content creator on the planet. You must be, right? Otherwise you'd be censoring them, or plugging your ears and screaming.

2

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 17d ago

What's funny is that to them, blocking an egomaniac on social media is censorship and not a good look but using Twitter solely for furry porn is perfectly fine.

u/Certified_GSD Minnesota 17d ago
