On his platform, Elon Musk shows an (un)chaste clergyman named Donald Trump with a Twitter whore. The post is obscene and blasphemous – and Musk appears to be processing Trump’s past interest in Twitter in extreme images.
With his latest Twitter post, Elon Musk wants to suggest that his Twitter platform should be something of a forbidden fruit for ex-US President Donald Trump. The multi-billionaire’s tweet features an image of a woman in a provocative pose, her nakedness covered with the Twitter crest. Behind it stands a clergyman in a robe, who prays to God, probably not to become weak. This is provided with the name “Donald Trump”.
Whether the picture is a creation of Musk himself remains to be doubted. He most likely stole it from somewhere in his Twitter universe – but this seems to belong to him anyway without any ifs and buts.
What is certain is that a very wealthy man like Elon Musk in particular can afford to portray Trump, who is said to have a particularly cunning team of lawyers, in public in this way. Perhaps the insult that Trump turned down Musk’s recent offer to return to Twitter also plays a part.
Before his offer, Musk had the Twitter community vote on a possible return of Trump, who was once shot on the platform. Even if there was a lot of criticism of this approach, votes are basically a democratic means.
Now that he hasn’t gotten what he wanted, Musk seems to be drifting into religious language – admittedly in a slightly offbeat way. “And lead us not into temptation,” Musk wrote above the tweet. A passage from the “Lord’s Prayer” that Jesus taught his disciples according to the New Testament.
One almost wants to reply: “Give us today our daily bread, Elon”, or at least give it to the employees who recently had to step down in rows on Twitter.
