Elon Musk Being A Revolting Creep, And More Of This Week’s ‘One Main Character’ #adessonews

Every day, somebody says or does something that earns them the scorn of the internet. Here at Digg, as part of our mission to curate what the internet is talking about right now, we rounded up the main characters on X from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.

Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it

This week, we’ve got someone who thinks life ends at 23, and Elon Musk and his mom being awful.

Wednesday

Huzaifa

The character: Huzaifa, young adult, philosopher, full of regret and longing

The plot: If there’s one thing Elon Musk’s X is missing from Twitter of the past, it’s self-absorbed individuals. Now, everything is about optics, and opinions have taken the back seat — but this week, X poster Huzaifa decided to bring back a little delusion to our timelines. Boldly proclaiming that life ends after 23 (“one thing they don’t tell you about,” he said), Huzaifa wrote that dreaming, risk-taking and love all come to a screeching halt in your early 20s.

one thing they dont tell u abt turning 23 is that suddenly its too late for everything. too late to pursue ur dreams, too late to take those risks, too late to be in love, too late to for quite literally everything. life ends at 22 and ure only left with regrets and longings

The repercussion: In any other area, dunking on kids for their opinions would be considered a crime. On X, however, it’s a rite of passage — one that hopefully rectifies behavior and teaches the character how to post better. Since it was clear that Huzaifa — a recent college graduate, according to his bio — was still learning the ropes (of life), a lot of people didn’t even bother roasting him, and others just kindly tried to disprove him.

Tuesday

Maye Musk

The character: Maye Musk, mother of Elon, another ignorant rich person

The plot: On Tuesday, Elon Musk’s mother, Maye, tweeted two photos: one of a homeless person sleeping on the street, and one of her dog by some trash.

“Early morning walk in downtown New York. Keeping my dog on a tight leash. It didn’t used to be this way. It started the last two years. Why?” she wrote.

The repercussion: People were baffled by Musk’s bizarre claim that homelessness in New York is a recent phenomenon, and many called out her cold indifference to what is clearly a human being in need. The post is all the more egregious given that her son is the richest man on the planet; to call her tone-deaf would be a severe understatement.

New York has always had homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks, what planet have you been on?

That’s a human being in need on the ground, sorry for the inconvenience

How dare the homeless intrude on the rich ladies walk

Because we don’t tax billionaires enough to solve the housing problem with public funds. We should fix that.

— Natalie Holme Elsberg 🇿🇦 (@NatalieElsberg) September 10, 2024

Give them some money. Your son is the richest man in the world. But you just take a picture of them to post on here?

Wednesday

Elon Musk

The character: Elon Musk, annoying billionaire, total creep

The plot: When Taylor Swift publicly announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris on Instagram after the debate this week, a number of the creepiest people in right-wing politics lost their minds about it. Perhaps the worst offender was Elon Musk, who made an extremely disgusting offer (threat?) to impregnate Swift and protect her cats.

Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 11, 2024

The repercussion: Despite the fact Musk owns X, the overwhelming response to his post on the platform was pure, unadulterated disgust. Musk crossed a creepy line that even most of his notoriously icky supporters couldn’t really defend with their chests.

Taylor Swift: I’m endorsing Harris in part because I believe a woman’s right to choose is important

Elon: I will impregnate you pic.twitter.com/55wJjXoR7h

Read the previous edition of our One Main Character column, which featured a confused comedian, yet more awful AI-generated content, laughable “dirt” on Tim Walz and Katy Perry attempting to dodge some valid criticism.
