    [Elon Musk](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/elon-musk) has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.

    On Sunday, Musk [re-posted a screenshot ](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1830390502836854925)of the theory – which appears to have been conceived [on 4chan in 2021](https://i.4pcdn.org/pol/1609762259416.jpg)– on the social media site.

    The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testostrone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”

    So Elon wasn’t satisfied driving the non-right wing extremists away from his products, he wants all women, flat, to stop being customers.

    Smart. The board should give him another $50 billion.

  3. the real poison of social media is that it’s allowed buffoons like elon to believe they have any status outside of the park hyatt concierge desk.

    Well, so that eliminates Musk, Trump **and** Vance, none of whom can think past their dicks.

  5. A country run by influencers.

    President Influencer:
    “What’s up, patriots! Just signed the newest executive order—no more fake news, like, ever. Only my channel gets the truth out now! Mandatory watch parties every Friday at 8 PM. And remember, haters are the enemy—report them, block them, whatever it takes to keep our community pure. Don’t forget to subscribe for daily doses of freedom, and check out the new ‘Obey or Else’ merch drop. Stay loyal, America!” Why does this scenario seem very real?

  6. Attaboy, weirdo.

    Keep it up. Keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t stop until the last vote is counted.

    How long before he comes out and gives a full throated endorsement of fascism instead of the innuendo and inferences he does???

    Like the adage goes, give people enough rope and they’ll eventually hang themselves…

  8. Elon is ridiculous. I simply do not understand how anyone can have sympathy for that man.

    What he shares on social media is garbage, garbage the rest of us stay away from because it is foolish.

    His approach to the world is embarrassing, his arguments are weak, and his “controversial” topics are so weak in substance that they have no impact in the real world.

  9. Why does a 53 year old supposed genius repost a bog-standard dorm room hypothesis posted on 4chan as though it’s true, insightful or novel?

  10. You ever notice that the guys who promote this alpha male crap are ones who also self select into this same “elite” status?

    Curious how they never say “hey do you all think I’m alpha”?

    Oh fun Elon is describing a group directly from “the Handmaids Tale”

    Specifically the “sons of Jacob”

    The Handmaid’s Tale imagines that some time in the near future of our own world, a political group called the Sons of Jacob has overthrown the U.S. government and created a new country, the Republic of Gilead. Gileadean law is loosely based on an extremist reading of the Old Testament, and it is extremely oppressive.

  12. Elon who can’t even grow a beard and has the body of an out of shape 60 plus menopausal woman, you sure about that low T thing Elon?
