Reading this I realised I found the way Elon Musk tweets annoying in a similar way to how I find all these corporations annoying— I don’t know if it’s even about them not being humans to me; as Elon Musk is indeed a human.
It’s just that they go “hey, I’m just like you!” And I think “no, you’re not. You are the richest man in the world, or a disembodied entity which maximises shareholder value.” It’s a bit uncomfortable either way
definitely get that, too. i think most other billionaires have the decency not to be so overt about themselves, a problem in itself, but elon musk parading himself on twitter is just… well distasteful is the kinder wording
the personification of corporations has been a huge contributor towards social media becoming a shell of its former self. i’ve been off socials for most of this year and the few times i’ve been tempted to look back i see a ton of shit like this and happily shut it back off.

Oh yeah. Musk’s ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ energy is off the charts.

it’s gross!! and good for you for locking off socials
I missed this on account of not knowing of you until January I think but this piece is so cathartic and I love it. Yay!
definitely just an old man balling his fist at the sky and ranting 🤭🤭 but definitely cathartic, i’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Ok but your rants are CLEVER and I love a clever rant. So fun though.
Your shit continues to be fire. Don't understand how folks could hate on this elegantly worded essay of Jive Turkeyism, but you keep doing you🙏🏿
It’s not funny or cute 😭😭 it’s really annoying to have everything marketed back to you. Especially these gross companies
"it’s really annoying to have everything marketed back to you" faccccttssssssss !!
Accurate. On another wave, though, you're such an effectual and fun writer, man, i'm always vibing when i read your stuff.
🥲 thank you for reading my weird little brain worms!!
Right these companies need to stop with it. I genuinely am annoyed.
😠😠
You had me hooked at “corporate minstralcy”. Shuckin’ & jivin’ while picking pockets and spreading poison.
