Which is it, Papa Elon?
Do you want to create more Luigis? Because that’s how you create more luigis. 🤞
It's just a correction in the Free Market. We need a lot more Free Market corrections.
And he wonders why people hate him? smh.
I think Musk is a necessary catalyst for any resistance movement. He is so evil, unlikable, unhinged and too powerful; a wet dream for any author who writes dystopian novels.
If he did not exist I would fear that the nascent American protest movement would just evaporate like before. But here, literally one can just point to this bastard instead of arguing politics, and it generates waves of hate.
My mom is a lifetime Republicsn who up until last year was on a pure reactionary right feed on Facebook. She's basically turned 180° in just the last few months, and while it started with her immediate gut-level dislike for Vance, it was driven home by her imnediate, gut-level dislike for Musk. It's now expanded out to criticizing (and laughing at) Trump and the rest of the would-be oligarchs, and she's moved from Facebook to Reddit and is already trying to decide which Democrats she's going to vote for.
And while it actually started with Vance, it was almost entirely Musk (or as she referred to him for quite a while - "What's his name - the asshole co-president") who accomplished the most to drive her away from the party she'd supported her entire life.
And I assume she's far from alone.
Have you thanked JD Vance even once for nudging your mum onto a slightly more sane trajectory?
It's tempting - it would be greatvto be able to say something like, "I just want to thank you for being such an insufferable asshole that you were the catalyst that started the process that ended with my mom becoming a Democrat."
But I assume it would be lost on him. Like both Trump and Musk, I assume he's determinedly oblivious to the fact that he's an asshole
Man, I cannot wait for the fucking day this son of bitch gets his karma. It's going to be fucking delicious.
He love space so much we could just throw it out there
There's a few people that should be dismissed alright, and I'm sure most people can guess who...
Keep cyberbullying him
Yep. My immediate thought after reading this headline was of the couple times he looked like he was gonna cry because people were celebrating the downfall of Tesla and the time he was streaming PoE2 and got bullied enough that he pretended to lag out and ragequit.
He's truly a net negative contribution to the species, and he furthers that status with every breath. Maybe there could be some argument that putting money into stuff pushed companies to adopt new, greener technologies in order to compete, but his pro fascism agenda has completely negated any praises I might have ever sung. And I think he's too deep to ever reverse course.
We know that he salutes like Hitler. Let's all hope that he does that other thing like Hitler did that one time in late April of 1945. Epic memes ftw for the edgy memelord mastermind if he does it on the same day. 360 skibidi no scope rizz king shit.
