There is no such thing as 'joking' on the internet, it must all be considered their actual feelings on the subject because it is impossible to tell between parody and genuine belief.

The guy owns Twitter and many millions of people lap his crap up. Joking is all well and good if the audience is capable of understanding the humour. You dont tell racist jokes around racists because it isnt a joke it is a fact to them. You dont tell misogynistic jokes around misogynists because it isnt a joke to them. You dont tell millions of crazy idiots with guns and explosives that you think Fauci has done something to get prosecuted for as a joke.

Musk is pandering to crazy idiots and it is dangerous.

At any moment he'll break character as the internet troll/conspiracy nut and we can all have a good laugh at how he had us convinced.

Any minute now.

A strange reply when I compliment you that you're going up in the world.

BTW, you really should remember what you post...

I was considering the lottery but then I went on one of those sites that backchecks your numbers.

In like 20 years the numbers I had would have won like £30.... no thanks

Some people must waste massive sums on that over their lifetime, I know my parents have had like 5 tickets per draw since it started.

probably be way better just chucking a 20 a week in random penny stocks

What is funny about it? Where is the joke? Unless it is just him being a bigoted moron?

Is the joke on him or the people that were rightly scared during the height of the pandemic and people that you dont like?

Or is he taking the **** out of the crazies that do think Fauci should be prosecuted and those that are scared or pronouns?

I think he's taking the **** out of people who list their pronouns while also baiting people like you who think he's a conspiracy theorist, look how worked up you are.

She doesn't think he's joking and the Republicans will be doing everything they can to drag him over the coals in the next Congress. This is just fuel for their fire.

He is trolling, like obvs he's not anti-vax but he was keen to open up sooner/presumably unhappy with the later lockdowns... perhaps a bit of self-interest there though!

He wasn't happy from lockdown 1.

Its like it either cant be seen by the likes of certain people or they are also far down the right wing loony CT rabbit hole themself that it all makes sense.

Edit: Actually there are loony lefties as well that follow those same CT stuff.

You can't even remember your own back story.

If you didn't make idiotic and inconsistent posts there'd be nothing to comment on. As it is I ignore 90% of the guff you write.

How are you this oblivious? She's playing along with the joke. I seriously worry if you don't understand this joke.

You are deluded. You only have to read the replies to his tweet to see the MTG types salivating at seeing Fauci behind bars. She has been shouting about locking up Fauci for the last 2 years.
