‘Zuck is a cuck’?! Why is Elon Musk borrowing insults from white supremacists? | Arwa Mahdawi

Twitter's boss has also challenged Meta's chief executive to a literal dick-measuring contest'. What's got into the billionaire manbaby?

The world's richest toddler is at it again. Elon Musk, a very stable tech genius, is throwing a temper tantrum over Mark Zuckerberg launching the Twitter rival Threads. You would think a capitalist such as Musk would welcome a little healthy competition, but he doesn't seem keen to compete in the business arena. Instead, he has challenged Zuckerberg to a literal dick-measuring contest". Musk, who is 52 years old, prefaced that invitation by tweeting: Zuck is a cuck." It's not clear whether he had professional help crafting this zinger or if it came to him in a flash of brilliance.

How is Twitter's new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, enjoying all this, I wonder? She probably thought she would be stewarding a struggling tech company's return to greatness; instead, she is managing a manbaby's outbursts. She probably expected she would be leading complex strategy meetings; instead, one imagines, she is being briefed by her underlings about what a cuck is.
