He radicalized himself with his own algorithm. He's literally rotted his own brain.
Money.
His twitter money is from Russia, they make him say this shit to destabilise the election
If that's true, it's more than money. If you take money from the mafia and don't deliver, it's about your life. That could be one of the many reasons he tried to back away from the purchase. I don't get why CIA isn't all over this.
And it's not just about the election. They're trying to destabilize everything in the west.
Yep, every single right-wing party gaining traction in Europe, every single one, has connections to Russia. Im the case of Germany, left- and right-wing.
The only person you can trust with your car is the same person that tried to steal it from you.

What elon is saying that if you elect trump it will be the last election and he is fine with that.
Elon getting so insane that if you simply do the opposite of what he says you will make the world better.
I remember the whole cave rescue and calling the rescue guy a pedophile. I feel like that was the moment people realized he was insane and not some real life Tony Stark
I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought 'What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.'
Yup I feel the same way, like that was the moment he snapped or the crazy finally came out. Before I was a big fan, but it went downhill from there pretty fast. Though I've heard him on the Lex Friedman podcast like a year ago, and then he came across pretty sane - he just acts insane a lot of other times as well.
This right here. This was the turning point for me.
I used to view him as a slightly eccentric billionaire using his funds towards positive progress... Boy howdy was I wrong.
Fucking same goddamnit.
That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.
And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.
Yeah, Lex Luthor is smart..
"no u" declares world's most mature man.
When all else fails, just tell flat out lies. It's the Republican Way!
When all else fails, just tell flat out lies.
It's the Roy Cohen way. He "educated" the weak, weird, old orange felon.
I honestly can't figure out if he's drinking the kool aid or trying to pour it.
He's in profile pretending to pour it in his mouth like a sloppy sleight-of-hand artist, but it's very clearly spilling all over his shoulder down his pants into his socks.
Pouring it into his own mouth, mostly.
“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Voting Trump is the only way to save democracy”
~~George Orwell, 1984~~ Elon Musk, aspiring propaganda minister of Trump
If you still bought a Tesla after Musk has shown his true self you are as much of a fascist as he is.
Fucking muskrats
Thank you for qualifying this. I bought one 6 years ago, back when he said he voted for Hillary and was a dick but not maliciously evil yet. I have the car and will never buy another from him. I never thought it would end up like this.
This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America.
There are some other eye opening parts but this one jumped out at me. He really does see the world from only his viewpoint. He thinks California changed for the worse but he could leave to Texas and still influence California using money even though people chose a different form of government than what he wanted.
For him, the collective choosing to change the system is very dangerous and it has to be forever in a status quo so rich people can play both sides.
I honestly wish he was smarter than this.
He made bank on California subsidies for tech and federal money for ev and space development by democrats and now he thinks they're evil once he has enough money...
Hah, enough money!
He just can't wring them for more, that's why he left.
