    Take your pick:

    Note: These are directed at PinkNews, rather than OP. The point I’m trying to make is that, at least in my opinion, it’s ridiculous to report on everything this vaguely humanoid turd says and does when it’s as inconsequential as this. “Elon Does Nazi Salute” is newsworthy; “Elon Cancels Netflix Subscription” is not.

    And now, on with the memes…

    Canceling Disney subscriptions: because fascists tried to silence criticism against the idiocy that is the trump regime.

    Canceling Netflix subscriptions: because conservatives hate trans people…. who could have seen this coming

    That opening paragraph is a thing of savage beauty

    X boss and free speech stalwart Elon Musk has cancelled his Netflix account amid a right-wing backlash to a trans-inclusive show that was cancelled more than two years ago

    You may be the richest man on earth, but your Netflix subscription is still the same price as everyone elses. So I’m sure Netflix doesn’t really give a shit.

      Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions. He burned his bridges with conservatives by accepting huge government contracts and shitting on trump. He burned his bridges with liberals with is DOGE fiasco and by allying himself with trump.

      The few disaffected people that hung on after those can’t be happy with Elon throwing himself in Ketamine trance on a regular basis. Musks has zero credibility with anyone now except his hand picked board members of Tesla Inc.

        He still has a sizeable tech bro/temporarily embarrassed millionaire following filled with politically-apathetic/“right leaning for the tax breaks” people. But I can’t imagine they’re opinionated enough to take his opinion as a call to cancel their own convenient Netflix subscription so your point still stands

        Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions.

        Quite famously one of his biggest beefs when he took over Twitter was that the President of the United States of America was getting more hits on his Twitter account than Musk was. So he set out to fix that and has altered the algorithm that runs Twitter so that his tweets literally are the highest priority on the entire site. In other words, he really does believe his opinion matters that much.

        Edit: P.S. and even though I haven’t had a Twitter account literally ever. I keep seeing his tweets because people keep fucking copy/pasting them all over the goddamn place. Something I wish would really fucking stop.

          It indicates he wants it to, but its cognitive dissonance at best. If people did care about his opinion, he wouldn’t have had to put his thumb on the scale tilting the traffic to artificially point to his posts. People are leaving Twitter anyway, which has to prove it even further people don’t want to hear from him.

      He cancelled netflix because he is scared of trans people. I cancelled netflix because it’s the financially responsible thing to do. We are not the same 😎

    Ironic, I cancelled my Netflix subscription over Dave Chapelle’s transphobic standup show, so I guess now me and the Musk have something in common.

    I could be sad over that fact, but I’ll choose to be thankful that thing is not our taste in drugs or obsession with others’ genitals. I’m out and proud and today is a good day :)
