A Bit of Tedious Drama At Bluesky

Openly advocating murder, even of someone as evil and odious as Musk, is not a great idea.

It said, "The richest man in the world is doing everything he can to get poor, downtrodden people killed in the UK because they aren't white, and the best chance of that stopping is someone killing him. If only."

It didn't say, "The world sure would be a better place without this dickhead." (A statement with which I heartily concur.)

It didn't say, "If lightning were to strike this asshole, I certainly wouldn't shed a tear." (Yup.)

It didn't say, "Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Elon went up in a fireball in one of his ugly flammable trucks?" ( I know it would be too much to ask for, but if there's any wish I'd like to come true....)

It didn't say, "I'll join the rest of the world in celebrating this MFer's death when it mercifully comes." (The world will run out of beer, to paraphrase Mary Trump.)


No, it said "...the best chance of that stopping is someone killing him." Which is advocating murder. Dumb move on Ken White's part.
