HELL’S NEWSROOM BULLETIN: Elon Musk’s Pathetic Power Play: Trying to Defund the ACLU
By Ashford Cinderputin, Ambassador of Chaos
Elon Musk, the billionaire tycoon turned impotent Twitter warlord, has once again flung himself at the immovable wall of his own irrelevance. On December 4th, 2024, Musk declared his intention to “defund the ACLU,” blissfully unaware—or perhaps indifferent—to the fact that the organization runs entirely on private donations. It’s an act of such pitiful bluster that even the most disorganized Hell interns wouldn’t try it. The ACLU, seasoned veterans in the art of dismantling the powerful, replied with their trademark precision: “We are privately funded, but thanks for the spotlight!” Musk’s flailing attempts to appear in control were met with the cold indifference of facts
—a reminder that his billions can’t buy him the influence he so desperately craves.
Musk’s vendetta stems from years of the ACLU opposing his every attempt at dominance. They’ve challenged his reckless decisions, from reinstating Donald Trump on Twitter to tearing down moderation systems, all while refusing to be cowed by his wealth. His response? To lash out like a monarch whose crown is slipping, trying to smite an enemy immune to his tantrums.
And therein lies the tragedy of Musk: a man who yearns to be a king but can’t even rule his own Twitter replies. He sees himself as a master tactician, striking fear into his enemies, when in
reality he’s a jester in a gilded suit, shouting threats into the void.
His demand to “defund” the ACLU is not a show of strength—it’s a confession of weakness, a declaration that his wealth and influence are utterly powerless against an idea.
If only Musk had the cunning of someone like Vivek Ramaswamy! Vivek wouldn’t waste his time on petty vendettas. He’d have monetized this feud, turned it into a thriving enterprise, and left the ACLU sending him thank-you notes for the free publicity. But Musk? Musk is the billionaire equivalent of a little league coach, angrily yelling at the referee while his team loses 10-0.
Ashford Cinderputin Reacts
Oh, Musk, you poor, powerless billionaire. Your obsession with the ACLU is the kind of comedy money can’t buy. They’ve taken you to court, criticized your every move, and stood firm in the face of your attempts to wield influence—and your big plan is to… defund them? From donations? That’s not a power play, my dear Elon; that’s a toddler throwing pennies at a shark tank.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a battle. The ACLU is leagues ahead of you, and they don’t even need to lift a finger. Watching you try to “smite” them is like watching someone try to punch a shadow—it’s sad, embarrassing, and more than a little funny.
This inspires me. I’m calling on everyone to fund the ACLU in Musk’s honor. Imagine the chaos: the ACLU, flush with cash, unleashing an army of lawsuits to dismantle bad policies and billionaire egos. Musk, powerless to stop it, furiously typing tweets that will never matter. THIS IS PROGRESS!!
Elon, if you’re reading this, take this moment to reflect. You’re not a ruler. You’re not a master of power. You’re a frustrated rich man trying to play a game you don’t understand. Keep doing, you, Xelon. You make it easy to be a reporter.
