Mentioning V for Vendetta is some delicious irony. I wonder how the guy who watched it for him explained it?

Haha! Came here to say the same. It’s also funny that a group using Guy Fawkes masks has outwardly opposed him IRL.

Remember “People should not be afraid of their government… Governments should be afraid of their people.”

Yeah, the movie is literately about a guy who gets revenge on the wealthy that dismantled a government and killed hundred of thousands to do it.

The movie that explicitly states that conservative thinking and lust for power and money are the causes for a horrifically bigoted, autocratic, and abusive society? Not sure I see the irony.

The irony is that he’s identifying with the hero.

Speaking of Alan Moore, I think Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias, probably has more parallels to Elon Musk.

Ozymandias was smart.

I'm through the looking glass here. Get a deep state plant to 'suggest trolls' to musky dump, but make it good policy. They don't know the difference. Dip someone in florida paint and make sure they're ready to kiss a lot of ass.

Hmm you’re right. We should be on the side of the resistance that kills people who arrest people without due process and send them to black sites, demonize LGBTQ individuals, threaten military action against its own people, accuse anyone who disagrees as treasonous. Thanks for the tip Elon.

Thats whats happening. Do you think he’s against that? If he were, surely he’d be able to do something from within his government position, besides just enable it.

Surely a nice selfless guy like Leon will look out for us common folk

Great movie, but in the movie V was rich.

You're right of course, but don't forget the man had to survive a genocide, chemical experiments and a catastrophic fire to get to that point.
