Progressivism is one long fit of rage, constantly pushing toward the most absurd reaction to any given situation, and Elon Musk is currently its top target.
And because progressivism is one escalation after another, it was just a matter of time before Musk was connected to QAnon. It all started with a fairly innocuous tweet encouraging people to follow a rabbit emoji (i.e. the white rabbit). Then Caroline Orr Bueno, who studies “disinformation” and has half a million followers, showed up with this banger.
***********************************
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk · Follow Elon Musk is now explicitly encouraging his 120 million followers to start following QAnon.
Put differently, Elon Musk is encouraging his 120 million followers to join a domestic terrorism movement.
***********************************
Apparently, they just give out doctorates like candy these days. The surest sign you are dealing with a deranged individual, though, is the fact that Bueno is a behavioral scientist living off the teat of academia. That’s an environment ripe for smelling one’s own farts to the point of conspiratorial delusion.
Does anyone see an “explicit” call to follow QAnon in Musk posting a bunny emoji? If you don’t, that’s because one doesn’t exist. Still, Beuno soldiered on into the bowels of QAnon trolling to find a few posts that confirm her priors.
************************************
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk · Follow Yeah so QAnon fans have definitely noticed Elon Musk’s “follow the white rabbit” tweet and have already started connecting it to adrenochrome, Podesta, Hillary Clinton, child trafficking, Saudi Arabia, & more.
“The storm is ramping up…”
*****************************************
That seems like a few less than 120 million people, but I don’t have a doctorate in mathematics to know for sure. So are the above posts indicative of anything but a tiny number of people who like to troll left-wing academics? Nah, but Beuno thinks she’s cracked the case, and that’s the real entertainment value here. Over-educated individuals who have convinced themselves that their brilliance reveals a monster under every bed. You are just too much of a rube to see them.
In actuality, the opposite is true. Bueno isn’t smart. Rather, she’s so vapid as to have no possible argument outside of the most extreme, baseless interpretation. It couldn’t possibly be that Musk has seen the Matrix or that he’s a fan of Jefferson Airplane. No, it’s got to be that he’s secretly QAnon, pushing his followers to join a “domestic terrorist” group.
That’s the same dynamic that leads the left to accuse those on the right of being nazis. It’s beyond their mental capacity to argue for their policies in an affirmative manner. Instead, they fall on the lazy trope of comparing their opponents to genocidal maniacs because that’s all they can come up with. They don’t want to bear any scrutiny of their own positions so they attempt to simply disqualify the other side from consideration.
As to what Musk was actually talking about? Far from promoting QAnon, he was making a cryptic reference to a Twitter account that provided some stats on lockdowns and COVID-19 deaths. Reality is so much more boring than the leftwing mind.
I don’t know what Musk will end up making off Twitter monetarily in the long run, but whatever it is, it will have been worth it. No man since Donald Trump has managed to cause the left more consternation, and that feels like a pretty good value.
The Beverly Twitterbillies
apologies to Jed, grandma, Jethro, Ellie May and the cement pond
Come and listen to my story about a man named Musk
A poor Texian who works from dawn to dusk,
And then one day he was in the buying mood,
And he bought up a company in a way that was rude.
Twitter, that is. blue bird. social media.
Well the first thing you know ol Musk is revealin’,
All the cover up about Hunter’s stealin’
Said “Twitter archives is the place you oughta look
For all the evidence with which to throw the book.”
Kick backs, that is. The big guy. 10 percent.
Old Musk bought himself a treasure trove,
“lordy,” said Fox and their old friend Karl Rove
Musk went looking and guess what he had plenty
Collusion with the Feds in the year of twenty-twenty
Election, that is. Hiding the truth. Misinformation.
Well the next thing you know old Musk is talking COVID
A new batch of tweets where the truth was hid
How social media was used to stop the spread
Of criticism, sayin’ it was incred …
ible, that is. Not scientific. Put your mask back on.
Excellent!.....................
I’m thinking he’s referring to The Matrix which was referencing Alice in Wonderland.
Curiouser and curiouser…
The Left appears to know much more about Q-Anon than normal people. I have been on RF since 1998 and have been a conservative activist since 2004. I don’t know anyone that has been a part of QA. How bout you folks?
Maybe the leftists should be quiet before someone buys another of their propaganda outlets
Very nice indeed. I have to force the metering to work in a couple places, but goodness, you aren’t going for a Pulitzer.
HAHAHAHAHHA! These people are just hilarious. And the left accuses the right of being conspiracy theory nuts? Elon is getting into their heads and I love it.
Until leftards told me there was QAnon and how terrible it was, I didn’t know that QAnon existed. Now that I do, I still don’t GAGS.
OK....
I’ll play...
Now, let’s suppose, just for a second, that Musk does indeed find Q stuff fascinating enough to follow....
That effects me how???
This lady is among one of the most stupid people I’ve ever heard from.
I do not want to hear from her again... The stupid, it hurts
I believe Musk is channeling Sun Tzu - “If your opponent is of choleric temper, irritate him.”
The Loony Left is SOOOO easily Irritated that Musk MUST be having a grand old time.
The PUBLIC Meltdowns on the Left are Glorious!!
Zero people. To be fair, I stopped going on to any Q threads after I found them to be insane.
Q
Q Anon
Orly Taitz
Cold Case Posse
Loretta Fuddy (injected by SEALs in the ocean)
Leo Donofrio
Gen McInerny
Gen Flynn
Lynn Wood
Sidney Powell
Etc.
All less than useless wastes of time.
Liberals are, by definition, stupid people.................
It’s fun to watch him drive them nuts.
So she skips right by the obvious Alice In Wonderland reference and goes for a QAnon connection.
Someone should tell her to lay off the conspiracy theories. She probably still believes the Russia Russia Russia stuff.
Matrix reference. Neo followed the white rabbit and wound up taking the red pill.
Interesting documentary on BBC re Musk. Hero or villian
One thing for sure he like Trump he can’t be bought and has mastered the one line come back re his detractors
I read a QA post once. Does that count?
The left has always been populated by a tiny number of psychopaths and wombats. The fascist media amplified their voice to make them appear more numerous than they were. Social media propped them up via criminal bot farms.
Now that Musk has taken over Twitter, you can see the support numbers for the left wing crazies dropping off a cliff.
Brilliant and oh so true...
