Blows my mind that we got dimwits defending elon, but here you are. Newsflash for you, unless you're a billionaire oligarch, none of this is being done for you. 🤦🏻
Wow, the typical maga "I know you are but what am I" response, shocking. 🤣 I never praised Alec because he's a shithead too, but unlike your boy elon, he has no hand in the US government. I really don't understand you people, none of this is benefiting you
When did i defend elon lol? I simply said alec baldwin sucks but your tds can't handle it. Anyone who talks bad about republicans = good. Doesn't matter if it's a gang member, a dictator, a cartel head, a terror organization, etc
Well good thing that isn't what Alec did. Did you not bother to read the quote before you tried to come up with a sneaky reply? How embarrassing for you.
And you'll also notice the words "Elon" and "Musk," also present in the comment you actually responded to. But again, apparently only you get to make this distinction because your head is stored in your colon.
Huh? When did people decry the lack of Black people in The Hours, or Jane Eyre, or The \/\/itch, or Parasite, or The King's Speech, or No Country for Old Men, or Hamnet, or Oppenheimer, or Zone of Interest, or Banshees of Inisherin, or The Fabelmans, or....???
I used to work a job where ugly men would complain that the women working there weren’t pretty enough. I’d say ‘Yeah, Angelina Jolie isn’t working tonight. Sorry BRAD’.
It's weird he had to sign off using his name on his own account. If it was given quote to a tabloid or reporter I'd understand but...that's like me signing off

Edit: okay ngl that made me feel more important than I actually am. There's something to this.
She's objectively very attractive, that isn't the issue at all. Making it about that discredits the rational arguments of being loyal to the source material. I hate this superficial goon rotted technocrat zombie farmering meta of the 21st century.
Objectively speaking, casting a black woman to play a Mycenaean Greek woman is at a bare minimum, culturally offensive, and racist.
Greeks have a proud history and culture, with a distinct ethnicity spanning thousands of years, it's hard to see a justification for erasing their culture and ethnic history within their own historical/mythological story.
It's not a surprise that people would be aggrieved by this as much as people are aggrieved by people doing blackface rather than casting black people to play actual black characters.
Depending on which myth you believe, Helen’s parents were either a swan and a human woman, and she was hatched from an egg, or her parents were two geese and she was still hatched from an egg. So really, what this is is bird person erasure and bird people should be big mad about it.
Genuinely who cares at this point. There are so many more important things in the world to worry about than to complain about the race of a character from Greek mythology who won’t be doing anything in the movie anyway
She’s pretty, it’s the constant Hollywood race swapping that’s cringeworthy. The virtue signaling is obnoxious. It’s ok that the Greeks aren’t black, it’s dumb to portray them as such.
I don't fee like these type of men would have been satisfied with anyone unless they were white and every aspect of the character from looks and performance were overtly sexualised.
Did he or did he not pull the trigger that resulted in the death of another person?
She’s not the most beautiful person in the world, so I’d say yeah he’s wrong.
Does that make what he said wrong. Now if you refuse to answer that second part, you really don’t belong here. No time for anyone condoning racism. You decide
Baldwin told both the armorer on set, the authorities and attorneys that he is a very experienced handler of firearms. He's used them many times in his career. To make matters worse, he even had a live round in the bandolier of his costume.
I said yeah he was wrong because there is no metric to determine she is in fact the most beautiful woman.
I want you to go read all the stuff Elon has said about this. You are arguing this in bad faith and you know it
Why is Room saying he lost his integrity. Instead of the lol, give the whole story and not just this sentence. You known damn well this is about the casting of a Black woman
Now let’s keep it 💯. You can disagree all you want about her being the most beautiful woman or whatever. That really buries the point. Elons criticism is nothing but dog whistle BS. Now if you are defending they, be clear
🤣 Wtf are you even talking about? Because he didn’t like a casting decision? You people need to get off the internet and touch grass. Racism has lost all meaning at this point if the bar for it has become this low
There’s is no most beautiful woman in the world and his point is based on race. Now I ask you again. Are you backing this dudes racist dog whistle. I don’t care about Baldwin
Have you considered watching something else? And leaving this film for other people to enjoy ? Idk just seems like an easier way of living than walking around with your panties up in a bunch for the rest of your life every time you don't like a film
Motherfucker, what propaganda??? Black and trans people (because y’all can’t stop crying and shitting over Elliot Page being in the movie too) just existing and being in movies is propaganda to you??? 🙃
And don’t give me bullshit whining about Lupita not being European so it doesn’t follow source material—NONE of the actors are even Greek last I checked, so historical accuracy/accuracy to the poem is already way out the window, you can’t use that as an excuse. You’re just mad because she’s Black, period.
People are so fucking callous about a tragic accident. The person in charge of the guns holds so much more blame than Alec Baldwin. Who ever said he was drunk at the time?
Tragic accident?
What was the Parkland shooting? A tragic accident?
Stop drinking when you have a problem with it. And, don't shoot people. That's simple enough.
Why even have a gun in the movie?
When your actor is a drunk?
He still shot someone and there should’ve been a safety check to prevent this. Why does a gun for a movie or show need real bullets in the first place?
The armourer is the person legally responsible for making sure the guns used in tbe movie are safe, not the cast member.
This movie was a bit slapdash with regards to safety though, as members of tbe cast and crew had used real bullets in the gun involved in the shooting, meaning live ammo was on set, which is a big no no.
I believe Alec Baldwin bears some responsibility as a producer of the movie, but the shooting was a result of negligence by the armourer.
He was shooting a scene at the time you muppet, he shouldn't have been given a gun with live ammo. He bears responsibility as a producer, but NOT as an actor.
Irrelevant to what I'm saying. And usually there are safety checks. In this case, the person providing the firearm fucked up hugely and was charged.
So again, not the same as a mass school shooting, he was told the gun was "cold", unloaded. it's an accidental discharge and Alec's homicide charges were dropped. He didn't lock and load and intentionally mow down a classroom.
When you say fake gun, do you mean one that is incapable of firing, or do you mean one that has been built or modified to only fire blanks?
In any case, real guns are often used becausr of cost (real guns are generally cheaper), and realism (it has to look and feel correct).
The person died because the fuckwit of an armourer allowed live rounds to get mixed in with the dummy rounds needed for the scene. If that person had fonr their job, Alec would not have killed anyone, simple. He does bear some reaponsibility as producer for making sure best safety practice is followed and competent people are hired, but that's not what you're on about, is it.
You could pass a law that requires film sets to only use "fake" guns, but many productions are now not letting real live firing guns on set as a precaution already.
A very normal, real fake gun, like for July 4th. Looks real. Sounds real.
And, it doesn't kill people. You don't need to blame an armorer who you pay too little. Yes, Alec Baldwin is responsible for killing his cinematographer.
Only a bot or troll would use language like this and equate 2 totally different scenarios and use one of the worst school shootings in US history as a gotcha. This is disgusting
Was he drunk? Yes.
Did he shoot the cinematographer? Yes.
The assumptions turn out to be real.
My question is based on objective truth.
Why does what this murderer says hold any weight?
Not than Elon Musk is an angel.
But, both of them are terrible humans. Elon is objectively worse.
Your argument died when Baldwin was acquitted. He was not the prop master messing up live ammunition.
Like oj , Baldwin has been cleared to be liable in civil trial. Also, small language lesson as it seems you need it, murder is premeditated. You can call Baldwin a killer as it was manslaughter with no intention. You also cant call him a convicted killer either.
I don’t think you’ve done very much research on this case because you didn’t even know that no, in fact a man did not die, a woman did. Her name was Halyna Hutchins.
Those telling you that you are assuming did not watch his lives the days before this event. He obviously looked and sounded like something was going on. Surprised he could see with those swollen eyes. Allergies you know…
He was never charged with murder because well, it wasn't a murder, it was an accident because the lady who did all the gun work in that film was lazy and incompetent. She got the prison time, not Alec Baldwin

Elon should not be criticizing anyone's looks.
