Tech billionaire Elon Musk dismissed the wave of “Hands Off!” protests held across the U.S. on Sunday, accusing demonstrators of being manipulated by unseen political operatives.

“The problem is the puppet masters, not the puppets, as the latter have no idea why they are even there,” Musk posted

Elon's projecting on more screens than a Marvel movie.

Puppet masters? All while he's puppeting that orange clown in White House. He's so far out disconnected from reality he doesn't even know what the fuck HE is doing. And he's projecting like a fucking lighthouse.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

The concept that the people have free thought is beyond his comprehension.

He's the same kind of idiot looking for the mastermind behind anon.

EIon, every single one of these people independently hates you!

He’s just mad that protest organizers don’t have to bribe people with a potential million dollar check to come out

Who are the puppet masters, Elon? Some shadowy cabal of oligarchs with even more money than you? Are they in the room with us right now?

I'm sure they pay those protesters quite well 🙄

Probably Russians using bots on Twitter... oh, wait.

Elon I am going to look forward to you being run out of this country.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I'd prefer he be launched... by ACME.

Man who was literally giving people $100 to repeat his political rhetoric earlier this week says people who disagree with him are puppets, very reasonable cool and not projection /s

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago

Yep same old accusation in a mirror bullshit.

Musk breaks silence

WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit covering an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago

It's literally the morning he would have the first opportunity to say something. So, zero silence. The source ain't great. Sensationalistic, etc.

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

Specifically on this subject he hasn't said anything until this. So not breaking silence in general, just in this narrow area.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

My thoughts exactly.
