As a trans woman, I'm only giving back what he's been dishing out to me - except that when we talk about him, we're actually telling the truth.

On that note, Elon is a whiny nazi pissbaby.

There’s nothing fake about a public Seig heil x2

They talk about "the left" as though there's any kind of leadership or organization or solidarity.

Motherfucker, people just don't like you, all on their own, because of who you are.

Musk is that kid in middle school who went out of his way to act smug and edgy in a desperate attempt to impress the other kids but it was all so cringey and irritating that it just made everyone hate him, but he was so dysfunctional that all he could do was try even harder to be smug and edgy, which just made the other kids hate him even more, and 'round and 'round it went until finally somebody decked him and then his mom complained to the administration because the other kids were bullying her baby.

You're make this sound like it's a metaphor or something...

But Musk is that kid literally, and last year one of the other billionaires did try to fight him for being unbearable until his mom literally stepped in and helped him back out

He's a rich manchild who people put up with when he let them play with his cool toys. Then he went from the weird rich kid to a total asshole the second he thought this was loyalty... Now he's crying about being bullied because everyone is turning against him, despite continuing to fuck absolutely everyone over

What positive stuff? Like I'm legitimately asking.

He is cartoonishly evil.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He's not cartoonishly evil until he gets a pet cat and holds it all the time.

Right now he's just evil

See how he trots his son out in public

For a short couple years Musk actually was doing legitimate engineering work at SpaceX. Yes it was high level, but it did involve proper work and deep understanding of the systems. And yeah, Shotwell had to stop him from making several critically bad decisions during that time (like canceling Falcon Heavy).

I know all the Musk haters will disagree with me on the idea he did contribute to the engineering, but it’s extremely well documented by both the employees at the time and spaceflight journalists.

But honestly before and after that, I can’t think of anything else he really did at a technical level though.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If this is any way true, then they need to be shut down immediately. He is not an engineer. He does not understand anything. I've heard him speak about things I know and pretend he's knows about, and it's obvious he's a moron.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sigh, just because he’s a moron about most things doesn’t mean it’s true about everything. Just watch some of his interviews with spaceflight journalists and you’ll see he knows his stuff for a while and then slowly loses it over the years.

Humans have this infuriating habit of believing that because someone is distasteful they must be stupid in every possible way, but this is very rarely true. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that he’s remarkably stupid, and I agree that at this time he knows very little about what’s going on at SpaceX, but you are ignoring the evidence if you believe it has always been this way.

Let’s be better than this and actually look at the facts, not the emotional reaction. You’ll come to the same conclusion either way - Musk is a horrible human being who has no right being anywhere near government, or even industry for that matter.

He's so sad, it's kinda remarkable. He's like the epitome of a narcissistic billionaire CEO.

The insecurity is palpable. I sincerely hope this will be remembered and studied.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

If people were truly trying to destroy his influence, he wouldn't be around for much longer.

Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.

And that's not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he'll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he's revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he'd at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. "Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they'll thank and revere me", I bet.

Poor Elon. I bet he's crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.

i was confused as well, i only know the real nazi stuff

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, because supporting and claiming the AFD is Germany's only hope (Germany's Nazi Party, which is not called Nazi Party because that would be illegal in Germany) is exactly what a none Nazi would do!
