I was coming on this thread to say "Anonymous better claim this and come out of stasis..."

Your comment made my day!

Did they tho? I don't see anything on the site that claims this attack

"they will be removed"

Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.

What is "priaprism"?

I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.

His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.

He is a man without potential or love.

The joke started out in my head as "stop, I can only get so hard!" And then I classed it up with medical terminology.

priaprism

I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is... well, it's something.

Fresco of Priapus, Casa dei Vettii, Pompeii. Depicted weighing his enormous erect penis against a bag of gold.

One hour too late. Smh

Isn't that the same picture they used for the article on Biggus Dickus?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

He in general underperforms in the coolness department. I have no interest in his man-noodle.

elons botched surgery prevents him from getting an erection.

The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.

Imagine firing your entire IT team and then crying 'cyberattack' when the servers can't handle traffic.

I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.

But I'm sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.

Good thing the US is lowering its cybersecurity forces. 🤦

Twitter as run by Musk— There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I hope that there are more to come;-))

Why is anyone even still using that product?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's a propaganda engine for propaganda consumers.

Must be the great hacker collective: N_competence

Edit: ~~Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account.~~ Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He'll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.

Tragic. Just tragic.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Oh no... anyway...

I never noticed until this picture how much X looks like two swords crossed. Hmmm.

Lmao good thing your boys got their hands on sensitive shit, huh?

Fucking amateur hour.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Exactly. Like toddlers with hand guns.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Oh goody, Anon must be back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Don't care why it's down, but that's good news.
