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.



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.


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.

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.


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.

    This is not sexual harassment in any way, shape, or form. It might be obnoxious and inappropriate, but calling it sexual harassment is not doing anyone a service.

      So a man walks up to your daughter/granddaughter/yourself and says that they are going to "give you a child". You laugh it off?

      I'll give you one thing - generally, sexual harassment that poses a threat or a danger to anyone PROBABLY takes place in the shadows, not in front of millions of people on X. But that doesn't change the fact that a man should not be telling anyone that they will "give" a woman a child. There's no way to interpret that message other than "I will have sex with you, one way or another".

    It didn't "start two years ago" (ie: Biden's fault).

    Also, any joke that could also be perceived as sexual harassment of a specific person is probably not a joke worth telling publicly.

    The advertising group that Leon is suing should use that post if the case goes to court.

    "We cannot advertise on a social media property where the owner of that property sexually harasses women, famous or not, without consequences."

    I'd love to see this mental defective deal with Travis concerning giving Taylor a baby.....that would be fun to watch.
