Elon Musk Could've Simply Not Tweeted About Diddy

Over on Twitter, the social media platform known as Twitter, Elon Musk continued his sanctimonious man of the people act, where he’s been pretending to be a staunch defender of white Christian America and not a tech billionaire who wore Baphomet armor for Halloween and has 44 billion children out of wedlock. Oh no, wait, that’s the amount of money he wasted on Twitter. My mistake!

Anyway, this time around, Musk decided to “tut tut” the music industry about Diddy. In fairness, how Diddy was able to operate freely definitely deserves to be interrogated, and reportedly, names are going to start coming out. We haven’t touched the latest allegations because, frankly, they are goddamn disturbing. (I never got down with prison abolitionists because, unfortunately, there are people like Diddy who need to be buried beneath the jail.) I’m not going to embed Musk’s tweet because it blasts out some horrible details, and I don’t want to hit anyone with that who’s unprepared.

“How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?” Musk tweeted above a screencap of the latest Diddy allegations in the Daily Mail.

Well, it turns out you were probably one of those people, Elon! It did not take long for folks to dig up a quote of Musk bragging about his friendship with Diddy, who was also unveiled as an investor in Musk’s purchase of Twitter. I’d tell Musk that the lesson here is never tweet, but he dropped $44 billion just to force everyone to see him do exactly that. Such is life.

Via Futurism:

“‘I don’t know if you know this, but Puff is an investor in Twitter,’ [Musk] said, using a nickname for Combs,” Mac and Conger recount. “‘You know, he’s a good friend of mine. We text a lot.’”

As Futurism noted earlier this year, Diddy’s involvement in Musk’s purchase of Twitter had been rumored by TMZ around the time this anecdote took place, but it wasn’t confirmed until journalist Jacob Silverman successfully unmasked the site’s investors in court last month.

From there, the floodgates were open as Musk was roundly blasted for clutching his pearls and acting like he doesn’t even know what a Diddy is. The Trumpism is really setting in, and not just because of the Diddy connection, which Donald Trump also has!

I’m not one to defer to Azealia Banks, but I’ll let her handle this one:

BITCH YOU KNEW ABOUT IT DIDDY IS ONE OF YOUR INVESTORS AND U WAS CHILLIN WITH GHISLANE HO https://t.co/Pff7zpy8mN

I know the standard practice on Pajiba is to use a photo of Lee Pace instead of Musk, but I’m a firm believer that it never hurts to remind everyone that he’s one goober-looking dude. He’s a dork with hair plugs, and no amount of money will ever change that.
