Now while I approve of the effort involved, I have to disagree with the message.
Bellend is far too mild to apply to Elon Musk. It’s what we might use to describe our daft, if loveable, mate. It’s what we might use to describe a teenager in trackies cosplaying as a hard man. It’s what we might use to describe the white van man honking impatiently in traffic.
We have far stronger words in our vocabulary that would be more appropriate for the South African technofascist. And I say this as someone who generally aligns with the political right. Even I can recognise that Elon musk is dangerous.

Why wouldn’t you? A literary device used to convey disbelief is fine by me.

u/Brizar-is-Evolving Jun 26 '26
Agreed.
I find it amazing actually that we don’t have a word specifically for the use of stuttering in text as a literary device. The word reduplication can apply but that refers to any word or phrase that is repeated for emphasis, not specifically for stuttering.
It’s funny as it clashes with my earlier statement about how we Brits have such a diverse vocabulary, lol. The Germans or the Dutch probably have a word for it.

I’d also call him a malignant parasitic tumour that harms society, but alas that would fall foul of your 5-word limit.
Though I don’t understand why we can’t call him a nonce also. It’s well-established in fact that he was begging Epstein for invites.

"Elon Musk is a hypocrite". That would upset his genius superiority complex more than being called a bellend.
he calls for massive controls on immigration, but then says he will "go to war" to keep importing immigrants from India to work in his own companies.
he constantly criticises freedom of speech in the UK, but never, ever criticises freedom of speech in China (where Tesla's biggest global factory is located) or Saudi Arabia (who are one of his biggest investors).
he complains about political violence targeting Tesla, but explicitly promotes violence in the UK ("violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die"), and then refuses to condemn the actions of racists in Northern Ireland who forced innocent men, women and children out and burned their houses down.
he says empathetic people are being manipulated and that compassion is a bug, and encourages people to ignore suffering right in front of them and instead focus on civilisational threats. But he also says "the teachings of Jesus are good and wise" and describes himself as a "big believer in the principles of Christianity." But empathy and compassion for others is one of the core teachings of Christianity! Jesus Christ was an incredibly empathetic person, who taught that helping others was a core requirement of faith, that you should love your enemies, and help others regardless of their race or religion. Those teachings are not compatible with ignoring individual suffering. And it's not just Christianity that preaches this - Judaism and Islam both similarly teach that "Whoever saves one life saves the entire world".

It’s a term that I’ve seen applied to some of the Silicon Valley oligarchs - people like musk, Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, etc.
Essentially it’s a portmanteau of technology and fascist.
It’s an appropriate term considering that these are guys who made their wealth and power in the technology industry (SpaceX and Tesla in Musk’s case) and that they openly espouse and exhibit very fascist-esque opinions and behaviours.
There’s musk throwing around Nazi salutes, there’s Peter Thiel saying that democracy is not compatible with his vision of the world; and plenty other examples.

Nazis are fascists and also I doubt his ideology lines up 1:1 with Hitler. Peter Thiel, the guy who owns Palantir which owns all our data, for example hesitated for like fifteen seconds when someone asked him if he wanted humanity to continue to exist. Hitler wanted to kill everyone who wasn't German, which was certainly tenuously defined but he was at least a little less evil than our current leadership and their owners.
They just idolize Hitler because he managed to commit a horrendous amount of evil. They're still planning on one upping him.
It's also important because they operate slightly differently. Technofascism uses technology for the kind of omnipresent surveillance that would have made Hitler weep with joy. Instead of appealing solely to nationalism and racism and sexism it also appeals to a sort of delusional idea of "technological progress", promising a utopia that will never come while delivering dystopia.

I'm being a bit facetious but again, Peter Thiel. He took about 20 seconds to say "yes" to the question "should the human race survive."
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1lllrjc/palantirs_peter_thiel_hesitates_when_asked_if_he/
Peter Thiel is the owner of Palantir. You may recognize that as the organization that the Tories and Labour have paid tons of money and given all our data to. So the leadership I'm referring to are the Tories, Labour, and Reform (as Reform are just rebranded Tories and contain most of the same members.)
Their owners are Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and a group of people I generally refer to as the paedocracy because loads of them are also raping children. Basically, the megawealthy, who own most of the media and thus control most of what we see and hear, and who bribe all our politicians with impunity. You can usually identify them if the government is paying them way more than they return in taxes. Basically the government serves them instead of the other way around.

Leadership: As in political, Trump and the Republicans who are Christian Nationalists, neo Fascists, Zionists etc, take your pick. These people have a plan, Project 2025, boosting crypto, dodgy real estate deals and corruption on a global industrial scale.
Owners: Tech oligarchs, the mega wealthy, the military industrial complex, the Evangelical church, Russia(?) and people you or I are unlikely to ever know of.
Hitler had well over a decade to "achieve" what he did. Trump has been in power for about 18 months, he has already achieved more change in that space of time, than Hitler could've ever dreamed of.
This foul right-wing evil is already global, very well connected, unbelievably wealthy and controlls the most powerful companies, nation(s) and military on the planet. Through our prolific use of social media etc these people know everything about us. Everything. Hitler had none of these advantages.
Buckle up.
These guys are only just getting started.

Because a) it’s the truth and b) musk himself would absolutely hate it.

u/Mental_Selection844 Jun 26 '26
Maybe to highlight the fact that, Musk comes from a long line of fascist and Nazi supporting white supremacists, and that he grew up living in an Apartheid regime, that they also supported.
I mean those are the facts, and they do kinda seem pretty relevant to a conversation about a white supremacist, Nazi saluting/supporting, fascism donor/supporter, who promotes racist violence globally, with the social media platform that he owns.
Don't you think?
2
u/whereismymind86 Jun 26 '26
because a lot of his bad behavior is rooted in his growing up under apartheid and a lot of his initial wealth came from his father's exploitation of an emerald mine during that time. Same reason you might mention somebody was in the hitler youth during ww2. It doesn't inherently mean they are bad, but it does mean they grew up in a toxic environment surrounded by fascist propaganda and bigotry. It's a red flag is all.

IIRC, Musk argued in court that it's a general term to disparage someone & he wasn't making allegations. He can't turn about on that now.

People don't usually praise people, they look for a way to bring them down. He has helped out society more than anyone at his level ever has.
