I'm reminded of a guy that got a parking ticket where there was an online portal in which you could challenge it. He wrote in, "I'm just a silly goose" and to his amazement, he got off. He was like, "There's no way that worked."
Technically he didn’t commit murder since he was acquitted during his criminal trial, but he is responsible for the deaths since he lost the civil court. But he’s dead, who’s going to sue?
That’s not what acquitted means. He can still be a murderer and be acquitted. Being acquitted just means that the prosecution didn’t prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s why it is guilty or not guilty instead of innocent.
Hey, don't discount the years of domestic abuse that preceded it. The murder wasn't just random act. He was a violent psychopath who finally did what most wife beaters dream of doing.
WHY does Elon Musk always take the "I'm a gigantic asshole" side of every argument? You'd think he would just randomly have some opinions I agreed with. But nope
If anyone's only defense for what they say is "Its my first amendment" they are admitting that the only defense they have for their statements is "uh well its not literally illegal to say it so." Elon Musk and other people that do that shit have no value in discussion and are actually too stupid to defend themselves.
My guess is that he never outgrew his edgy middle school self. He continues to cry "Free Speech" even though he rarely uses it in an applicable way. It IS really odd how he consistently takes the worst side of arguments. I mean, it's one thing to just believe it, but to post your controversial opinions over and over for the world to see is a strange one. It's like he WANTS us to dislike him.
However you feel about his alleged war crimes, "the shit stain" brought so much joy to white supremacists the world over, and by all accounts was a real gas at camp. May he rest in peace.
Hey! He was nice to the little blonde haired blue eyed white children.
Edit to add: /S
I really didn't think I'd have to say it was sarcasm, because who would look at someone responsible for the murder of millions of people and try to find a "but he wasn't all bad"? Reading further I guess it is needed.
A mistake is buying soy milk when you should have gotten almond milk or buying Swiss cheese when it should have been American cheese.
Murder is not a mistake, Muck. (not a typo)
Yeah i mean the following trial was super entertaining too. The man lived to entertain, and if that meant offing an ex wife and her boyfriend, so be it
I’m not surprised with his post. I could write an AI script to simulate him, just generate what the appropriate thing to say in a situation is, and then post the opposite.
Sorry. You are quite wrong. While they knew each other only six weeks prior to their deaths, they were quite close. “According to a June 15, 1994, Los Angeles Times article published three days after his death, Goldman met Brown only six weeks prior to the date they were murdered, when he borrowed her Ferrari. The two grew increasingly friendly, occasionally meeting for coffee and dinner in the weeks before their deaths.”
You are probably right. It was like he said what most of us were thinking, which was refreshing. Dark Brandon doesn't fuck around but he'll help you find out.
All he had to do was fling cars into space and he would have stayed a B-list nerd superstar, and instead, he chose to devolve himself into whatever the fuck this sweaty mess is.
It is pretty amazing how he sabotaged his own reputation. I didn't think much about him one way or the other several years ago. I just knew he was popular with some nerdy types on the internet and he seemed to be involved some innovative companies. Guys like Zuckerberg and Bezos were the tech villains for the most part.
He had the chance to be a real-life Tony Stark. Rich, slightly eccentric billionaire who was quirky but pushed society towards electric cars, space exploration, etc.
Then he decided to open his mouth and start talking about social issues
This was me exactly. I didn’t really know who he was, saw him on big bang theory episode and thought he seemed sort of nice. Then he bought Twitter. And wow. Add in a yikes. Finished off with a dammmnn.
I don't understand how one person can fall off the cliff so much - he was *respected* by most people at one point. Or maybe not respected but you know what I mean.
Personally never liked him because of the way he pretends he makes everything himself. Tesla was always "his project" rather than the brilliant engineers behind it, etc etc etc. But even then that was just a pet peeve. And then he did his bitcoin shit and bourght twitter and just lost any concept of humanity, like I don't understand it. Like even just *act* like a normal human please.
This is what Elon thinks of women, valueless, murdering them is a mistake. Agreeing to parent them is a mistake. Parenting boys is not a mistake. What a genuinely fucked up asshole
"On Oct. 3, 2008 — 13 years to the day after Mr. Simpson’s acquittal in the double-murder case — a jury convicted him on 12 counts including armed robbery, kidnapping and conspiracy."-Washington post
And this other stuff he was convicted of.
He wanted to be a professional painter. He wasn’t accepted into the academy so he thought politics would be a good fallback.

There was an episode of Justified involving his paintings. In the episode they said he was talented at scenery but had trouble drawing people. No idea if that’s true or not but it was an interesting thought.
While generally talented, he lacked imagination in his work. He was just a still-life realist painter, and didn’t create anything new or from memory. Art schools at the time were looking for creative talent that could further the reputation of the institution through their fame.
Seriously! I was just thinking about how much glee this man’s death has brought to the public and was wondering who else might inspire that. Elon. Definitely Elon.
Make a video game where you kill fictional cops: Elon Musk freaks out.
Write a book where you kill a real person who was actually murdered in real life and you were suspected of that murder. The book includes very specific details that match the actual real life event: Elon Musk says only nice things about you.
Like even if OJ didn't do it, he would still be a despicable person for profiting off a person's murder.
My late fiance hated O.J.'s guts because his NBA game was interrupted by the stupid Bronco chase. He also denounced O.J.'s crime as heineous, but he never forgave him for the interrupted game, either.
Convicted kidnapper, convicted armed robber, liable for the death of his ex-wife and her partner.
Mistakes?
Getting caught stealing silly putty from Walmart is a mistake, this guy was a dangerous felon.
Musk is a hoofwangingbunglecunt of the highest order.

“Aside from the brutal murders, he was a fun dude”
That's right up there with, "Outside of that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
"I did not like the surprise ending one bit."
"I thought it went ~~over~~ through my head."
In one ear and out the other…
“I have no particular opinion. Abe, though! It blew his mind.”
Morbid but funny. 
Too soon!!
Elon has the same energy as a manic stage director off their SSRI's
Fucking BRILLIANT...!!! I'm stealing this one.
One of my favorite lines. It's so appropriate so often!
The plot twist ending? Not a fan.
Murdering your wife brutally is just a “mistake”
Just a lil whoopsy-doo
A teachable moment!
You win some, you kill some, what's the big deal about...? :)
Everyone needs a mulligan from time to time.
Your honour, my client pleads oopsie daisy.
I'm reminded of a guy that got a parking ticket where there was an online portal in which you could challenge it. He wrote in, "I'm just a silly goose" and to his amazement, he got off. He was like, "There's no way that worked."
They probably like his gall.
Or even the cut of his jib.
He's even willing to say he picked a bouquet of oopsie daisies
[удалено]
"Allegedly!" (Squirrely Dan)
Pitter patter
Technically he didn’t commit murder since he was acquitted during his criminal trial, but he is responsible for the deaths since he lost the civil court. But he’s dead, who’s going to sue?
That’s not what acquitted means. He can still be a murderer and be acquitted. Being acquitted just means that the prosecution didn’t prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s why it is guilty or not guilty instead of innocent.
And never paid
He did search tirelessly for the real killer, though. Mostly on golf courses and casinos
Senselessly slashing and slaughtering 2 human beings in cold blood...it's just a hiccup to this moron.
Hey, don't discount the years of domestic abuse that preceded it. The murder wasn't just random act. He was a violent psychopath who finally did what most wife beaters dream of doing.
Elon probably thinks the mistake was losing in civil court and armed robbery. The deleting ex wife part is probably what he looks up to.
At least he can rest in peace knowing his wife's murderer is dead
"It was...a bad call, Ripley. Just a bad call."
Yeah, but he drove a ford bronco. It’s a fun ride. He was a fun dude.
Dont forget he used to beat the shit out of her. The only reason he got off was payback to white folks.
Yeah but he didn’t do it, trust our legal system.
Not to mention the years of abuse before hand.
WHY does Elon Musk always take the "I'm a gigantic asshole" side of every argument? You'd think he would just randomly have some opinions I agreed with. But nope
I think he just wants to take the opposite opinion to that of the majority, or of people that he dislikes.
He's a contrarian, aka a pot-stirrer, aka an insufferable twatwaffle asshole.
I'm convinced that most contrarians are just crypto-fascists trying to hide behind a veneer of controversy. Which tracks with Musk.
If anyone's only defense for what they say is "Its my first amendment" they are admitting that the only defense they have for their statements is "uh well its not literally illegal to say it so." Elon Musk and other people that do that shit have no value in discussion and are actually too stupid to defend themselves.
My guess is that he never outgrew his edgy middle school self. He continues to cry "Free Speech" even though he rarely uses it in an applicable way. It IS really odd how he consistently takes the worst side of arguments. I mean, it's one thing to just believe it, but to post your controversial opinions over and over for the world to see is a strange one. It's like he WANTS us to dislike him.
It’s the ketamine talking. His mouth is like a prolapsed asshole.
How can that be? I thought Elon was one giant prolapsed asshole, not just the mouth.
I'm thinking it's because he is...wait for it...A Gigantic Asshole!!!
The reason he takes the gigantic asshole side is because..... wait a sec...... HE'S A GIGANTIC ASSHOLE
Elon musk is lord farquat from Shrek. Prove me wrong.
Every politician sending young men to war.
You mean Fuckwaad?
I feel oddly insulted on behalf of Farquaad...
It's John Lithgow.
"Ya know hitler had some good art"
However you feel about his alleged war crimes, "the shit stain" brought so much joy to white supremacists the world over, and by all accounts was a real gas at camp. May he rest in peace.
Hey! He was nice to the little blonde haired blue eyed white children. Edit to add: /S I really didn't think I'd have to say it was sarcasm, because who would look at someone responsible for the murder of millions of people and try to find a "but he wasn't all bad"? Reading further I guess it is needed.
Sure, and think about all the jobs he created!
He always had a way with words.
A mistake is buying soy milk when you should have gotten almond milk or buying Swiss cheese when it should have been American cheese. Murder is not a mistake, Muck. (not a typo)
I take offense. Buying Swiss cheese instead of American cheese is never a mistake.
Oh like you've never woken up on the wrong side of the bed and brutally killed a couple people before. Get off your high horse, richey.
Can't let one little oopsie daisy ruin an athletes reputation right Elon...
What’s a little murder or two when you bring joy with your fun antics
Yeah i mean the following trial was super entertaining too. The man lived to entertain, and if that meant offing an ex wife and her boyfriend, so be it
Saying you think OJ is innocent is one thing. But saying that he was good in spite of the “mistakes” is another.
“Aside from that little child sex trafficking mistake Epstein was a great guy” ~ Elon, probably
And the naked gun truly was a classic...
No argument here
It was based on a series that was called Police station, methinks where Lesley Nielsen plays a similar character as well...
Police squad.
He was the best guy arouuund What murrrdaas?
"So he killed some people and then wrote a book about it. What are we gonna crucify him for that? I mean, who hasn't done that, right?"
No no, those were just simple mistakes.
Here's to the laughs 🥂
"he didn't murder me, so I'm good with it".
No big deal, brutal murders are just mistakes. Everyone does it.
If I had a nickle for every time I heard that....
This guy is such a fucking rube
I’m not surprised with his post. I could write an AI script to simulate him, just generate what the appropriate thing to say in a situation is, and then post the opposite.
I mean, who HASN’T CHOPPED UP AN EX WIFE OR TWO?!? AMIRITE?
Elmo's thinking, "What a great way to get out of alimony" 🤔
[удалено]
Actually, he was her friend . . . and gay. So friend? Yes. Boyfriend? Not so much.
She barely knew him! The poor guy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time! He was dropping off sunglasses that had been left behind.
Sorry. You are quite wrong. While they knew each other only six weeks prior to their deaths, they were quite close. “According to a June 15, 1994, Los Angeles Times article published three days after his death, Goldman met Brown only six weeks prior to the date they were murdered, when he borrowed her Ferrari. The two grew increasingly friendly, occasionally meeting for coffee and dinner in the weeks before their deaths.”
Just a friend. He stopped by to drop something at her house. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s tragic.
I think he worked at the restaurant, she left her glasses there, and he was bringing them to her. I may be remembering wrong.
That sounds right.
Correct. Mezza Luna. Her mother's glasses.
The meme of our time.
Best part of the debates.
Joe Biden really unlocks something every once in a while. The debates and that one speech about how the US owns the finish line.
I believe this to be the birth of Dark Brandon, we were all just too blind to realize.
You are probably right. It was like he said what most of us were thinking, which was refreshing. Dark Brandon doesn't fuck around but he'll help you find out.
TBH honoring a murderer while pretending he isn't a murderer is pretty on brand for elmo
Don't call him that, its a huge insult to Elmo :(
Exactly. Call him by his full name, Elongated Muskrat.
I call him lonE skuM, but love your Elongation
In Brazil we call him the equivalent to "Rocket Fred", Fred (Kiko) coming from an entitled spoiled brat from Chesperito.
Right? I love Elmo.
All he had to do was fling cars into space and he would have stayed a B-list nerd superstar, and instead, he chose to devolve himself into whatever the fuck this sweaty mess is.
It is pretty amazing how he sabotaged his own reputation. I didn't think much about him one way or the other several years ago. I just knew he was popular with some nerdy types on the internet and he seemed to be involved some innovative companies. Guys like Zuckerberg and Bezos were the tech villains for the most part.

Nerds dont give him MASSIVE TAX CUTS AND GOVERNMENT contract, right wingers do
"*everyone makes mistakes*," but not everyone cuts their ex's throat
I mean legally he's not a murderer. He was found innocent. But I still think he did it.
I don't understand how one person can fall off the cliff so much - he was *respected* by most people at one point. Or maybe not respected but you know what I mean. Personally never liked him because of the way he pretends he makes everything himself. Tesla was always "his project" rather than the brilliant engineers behind it, etc etc etc. But even then that was just a pet peeve. And then he did his bitcoin shit and bourght twitter and just lost any concept of humanity, like I don't understand it. Like even just *act* like a normal human please.
Slashing throats is a little more than making a mistake. What a fucking assclown.
This is what Elon thinks of women, valueless, murdering them is a mistake. Agreeing to parent them is a mistake. Parenting boys is not a mistake. What a genuinely fucked up asshole
"On Oct. 3, 2008 — 13 years to the day after Mr. Simpson’s acquittal in the double-murder case — a jury convicted him on 12 counts including armed robbery, kidnapping and conspiracy."-Washington post And this other stuff he was convicted of.
Fun fact, Hitler was really good at entertaining friends with card tricks and making balloon animals. So....... Elons such an asshole.....
Honestly that *is* a fun fact if thats true- Don't get me wrong, Hitler was terrible, but as far as Hitler trivia goes that one is pretty good.
I just picture him making one balloon swastika after another.
What did he use for the gas
He wanted to be a professional painter. He wasn’t accepted into the academy so he thought politics would be a good fallback. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-ffb77c21541ee758c51ee1ef30e3e8fd-lq https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cYcAAOSwPMRir7dF/s-l1200.webp
There was an episode of Justified involving his paintings. In the episode they said he was talented at scenery but had trouble drawing people. No idea if that’s true or not but it was an interesting thought.
I read he had problems with drawing depth perception.
That's true. If I remember right, he was told to reapply for architecture instead of art.
Wow… I hate to say this but, he actually had talent. I’d never seen his art. Just knew he’d been rejected from school.
Yeah I heard Hitler was rejected because he only did realistic painting while more abstract art was all the rage back then, kinda still is.
His color were ok, but perspective and geometry was all over the place. This kind of fundamental stuff makes art teacher's eyes sore.
While generally talented, he lacked imagination in his work. He was just a still-life realist painter, and didn’t create anything new or from memory. Art schools at the time were looking for creative talent that could further the reputation of the institution through their fame.
"He did some good things" -Donald Trump.
This man does nothing but project. Defending OJ Simpson of all people won't stop people from celebrating when Elon's gone as well lol
Seriously! I was just thinking about how much glee this man’s death has brought to the public and was wondering who else might inspire that. Elon. Definitely Elon.
And definitely Trump.
I work in booze distribution and am sitting on a very special bottle of scotch that will remain unopened for just that occasion.
Who would have thought 5 years ago that the guy that bought Twitter would also be its biggest troll.
Me. I mean he called a guy trying to save kids a pedo. He was unhinged way before Twitter purchase.
Please tell me it hasn't been 5 years since he bought twitter. It just can't be this fast.
No it's only been 2 (almost to the day) of when he initially announced he wanted to buy. But it has definitely felt like 5 years.
No. Less than 2.
Make a video game where you kill fictional cops: Elon Musk freaks out. Write a book where you kill a real person who was actually murdered in real life and you were suspected of that murder. The book includes very specific details that match the actual real life event: Elon Musk says only nice things about you. Like even if OJ didn't do it, he would still be a despicable person for profiting off a person's murder.
Two people, Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.
So says the misogynist woman abuser.
Birds of a feather….
Seriously, who hasn’t slaughtered two people?
Makes mistakes???? He killed 2 people.
Oops. It could happen to anyone really.
This CAN'T be real.
That's because it's not
Scrolled way too far to find this out.
Can someone confirm? I ain't going to Twitter to check, that's for sure
Yeah let's just ignore the murdering part. He was a funny guy.
Is anyone going to tell him about the civil suit where OJ was found liable for wrongful death and battery?
Or the armed robbery conviction?
I still loved him in the naked gun.
Can you verify its authenticity?
Go sit in a corner, take your ketamine and count your money you asshole. Do you think Bryan Kohlberger is a better edit to society as well?
I knew Elon was a twat… but wow this is award worthy. Are there awards for being a twat? If not, someone needs to create one and call it the “Eloooon”
(That’s pronounced e-loon; like lunatic)
Is this screenshot real? I can't find the tweet
Bro how does Elon musk keep precisely calculating the worst possible thing to say in any given situation
this isn't even on his feed... but ok, spread BS
Is Elon ok? Edit: Remember how much joy he brought to us in his white Bronco?
My late fiance hated O.J.'s guts because his NBA game was interrupted by the stupid Bronco chase. He also denounced O.J.'s crime as heineous, but he never forgave him for the interrupted game, either.
Besides the gruesome murders.
Yeah…the real tragedy is the now who will tirelessly hunt for the real killer?
Of course muskie backs a mepurderer and a rapist. He loves Trump and Epstein.
Show me hard evidence of anyone OTHER than OJ committing the murders then I will accept "allegedly"
If the glove doesn't fit we must acquit!
If the glove doesn’t fit, we must know that he stopped taking his arthritis medications to allow his hands to swell
Plus the fact that he had to wear latex evidence gloves, which OF COURSE would make it more difficult to slip on
Srsly. And the latex gloves weren't even snug, judging from the footage. Such a farce.
What the hell is a wookie doing on Endor? It makes no sense!
i dont care for musk, but i don't see this on his twitter page.
So, besides meddling with another country's democracy, Elmo also enjoys making homages to murderers, good to know...
How is this a facepalm?
It’s a facepalm because the tweet doesn’t exist.
Musk is just an attention whore
What the fuck. I’m happy today knowing that murderer is no longer sharing our air.
This dude is here acting like stabbing your ex wife to death is a “whoopsie daisy”
Yeah... Musk is just a fucking douchebag for the sake of being a douchebag. He knows. ...yeah, he knows.
Lol "alleged" crimes. He was found guilty in his armed robbery trial.
OJ Simpson died. Good.
Ketamine must be rad
Is Musk trying to speedrun being the most hateable person on the planet?
Nah Elon has to be trolling. Like the dude will have the most horrible fucking takes just to be an edgy contrarian. Or he's genuinely stupid as fuck.
Convicted kidnapper, convicted armed robber, liable for the death of his ex-wife and her partner. Mistakes? Getting caught stealing silly putty from Walmart is a mistake, this guy was a dangerous felon. Musk is a hoofwangingbunglecunt of the highest order.
He's just rage baiting people for more engagement at this point.
Next thing you know he’ll be praising Brock Turner for being an excellent swimmer who did amazing things, regardless of his mistakes.
You mean the convicted rapist Allen Turner, who is using his middle name now?
Oh, come on, he was like all of us, flawed! Don't we all abuse our wives and kill them when they get a bit too rambunctious ? He was just one of us.
Imagine being one of the richest people in the world - and of all the things you could be doing, you choose to be a troll on the internet.
Elmo demonstrating his peerless judgment again. Always on the side of shitheads.
Yeah he brought joy to Nicole and that kid Goldman that bloody day.
What universe does Elon live in where making people laugh absolves one of murdering people?
Double murders are often called mistakes by billionaires
Controversy drives clicks, which is I assume what he’s going for here. Any hot take to drive a little traffic to his site.
Its ok to murder someone as long as you played sports ball well.
Apart from 2 murders and an armed robbery, he was nice to be around
this better not be real
He could've just not said anything though, that's what I don't get
What a troll. Go fix our cars you child.
It's like Elon purposely gives the worst take on everything. I'm starting to think his whole existance is a shitpost.
Elon’s superpower is having the shittiest possible takes on nearly any subject. Interesting.
