We all know that social media can encourage extremism in some people, but it's surprising when it happens to the richest guy in the world

This is a prime example of how big business can cozy up to authoritarianism. Of course in the name of offering a service to the nation or saving something precious to all, I guess it’s “democracy” in this instance. Deep down I think it’s about asking a simple question: which regime will be most accommodating to fulfilling my ambitions, i.e. sustaining and growing my business empire with the least amount of oversight or regulation? Who is more likely to be anti-union? Who is more likely to employ migrants without granting them political rights? Who is less likely to tax the rich? Who is more likely to give me more power to influence public opinion and public policy? Elon is, in some respects, correctly betting on Trump. Of course it is a risky bet, and a marriage of convenience; one will sooner or later lose favor with the other. It would probably be wiser of Musk to stay out of the limelight and play Democrats against Republicans whenever and however it suits him. But I guess he can’t help himself. To be honest I don’t even know whether it’s possible for a major business figure to remain neutral in a country where perhaps the best predictor of a presidential candidate’s success is the amount of donations their campaign receives.

Man eel on musk is just so far down the rabbit hole these days it’s insane. It’d be fascinating to watch if it weren’t for the fact that he runs Twitter and is trying to use it to swing the election to Trump.
And here I didn't think I could hate this guy any more. Truly a vile piece of shit. I'm glad I never bought one of his cars and well he's at that company, I never will.
Lol. This guy is probably also upset that people pay more attention to taylor swift than to him.
Ya because if Donnie loses he will encourage his cult to do another coup and install trump as dictator for life
Techno fascist says what?
Can we have that man forcibly removed from our country please? He’s already proven to be threat to our democracy. If he wants to say dumb shit like this, he can do so from far away where our taxes aren’t paying for the services he’s using to circumvent it.
(-_-メ) Please, no! I don't think anyone else wants him.. we only have one Tesla factory in this country and it's on the news on a regular base. And it's never good news.
Maybe we can try to make him want to sit in the next bar he sends to space himself
Put Space-X into a form of receivership first though. National interests must be protected.
Fascists like elon musk don't just lie, they exactly invert the truth.
He knows that trump winning ends democracy, so he goes into fascist mode and says the opposite. They do it all the time.
Projection. Goes great with obstruction and gaslighting.
Projection. ~~Goes great~~ (puts on monocle) Pairs well with obstruction and gaslighting.
...and when you're rich, they let you do it 🧐
what a dumbfuck he is. koolaid is cheap but damned if he isnt trying to corner the market. fool.
Paging Pepperridge ~~mint~~ Farms.
Remember when trump said if he won they'd never have to vote again?

Musk can go fuck himself.
- Trump wins, it will be the last election
- Trump loses, also last election
Looks like we need to cause a draw... For democracy.
Oh no you guys, Ketamine Karen is speaking, we should all listen to the 'genius'. LOL! Fuck off elon!
.... so he wants to avoid creating a "one party state" ... by electing someone who openly wants to develop a one party state

Sounds a little desperate
Can we deport this shit stain to Mars yet?
Or back to south Africa.
... too close ... deport him to the sun instead
hehe
Takes too much energy. Deport him out of the solar system and let him spout his nonsense to Voyager.

It’s hard to aim, it’s always moving!!
Either way: use a Boeing rocket to send him there.
But then isn’t there a chance he gets left behind?
What's left of him, you mean?

He doesn't actually believe this nonsense he spews, just like all the other conservative propagandists.
The problem is all the people that believe this idiocy. One of progressives biggest hurdles should be to drastically improve education to teach logic and critical thinking skills at a young age. This would be a cure to a lot of this dumbest of dumb propaganda. It's just so stupid it's obvious. But many people will actually believe it, and spread it.
Unfortunately, we're losing. Public education is not getting better, funding is being cut, and tax money is in some places starting to go to religious private schools. This is all being pushed by conservatives. Keeping the populace stupid is how they stay in power, and wealth.
Sweet baby Elon. I look forward to this being your last election here immigrant.
These fucking people, nothing but projection.
Why aren't those clowns laughed out of the room as soon as they open their mouths?
Because they fucking bought all the rooms.
because the US has spent decades creating a culture that allows this level of stupidity in their national politics
Stupid people saying stupid things in public is only considered acceptable if everyone that is listening in to all the stupidity are stupid themselves.
Sounds like he is starting to panic, realizing that Donnies chances are slipping since the debate and his inability to gain traction since then
Lolol. For HIS ass. Watch all these worms try to expatriate their money and businesses to Russia before the "librals terx my sterks".
Fuck you, Elon. I hope all the bad shit you're bringing upon yourself ends up being the worst outcome it could possibly be.
