Has “abolish ice” on the shirt which is really the perfect icing on the cake there.
Boo this welfare queen
He’s shown himself to be a total white supremacist neo-nazi. He backed AfD. He’s spent millions on political campaigns teeming with hate speech. We can’t let him walk away from that.
Really, this isn’t just a Musk issue, it’s a billionaire issue. It’s a plutocratic class issue. They want to keep their power, and as soon as hierarchy-enforcing extremist far-right movements form, they’ll be right there to bankroll and support them. The patrician class is completely adversarial to the notion of society based on equality rather than privilege, and they will bring all their resources to bear to put down societies based on community and equal treatment.
Also, we’ve seen Musk’s entire history is getting funding by lying, and making inspirational promises on which he won’t deliver. Musk is the same kind of flim-flam artist as Trump, the same kind of shapeshifter as JD Vance or Lindsey Graham.
And then he makes cars that run people over, and rockets that shake houses apart, and trucks that cut people in half.
Musk needs to be separated from his capital. In this case the means of production very much needs to be seized and restored to the people.
Pink Floyd suggested the Fletcher Memorial Home (for Colonial Wasters of Life and Limb). Musk would be happy there.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Sure, but let’s just do all billionaires instead.
Nobilities tend to inter-marry with whatever warlord or state takes control of the realm. It’s why bloodlines can end up so weird with them.
a “roman greeting” to you fellow democrats!
AfD-loving Nazi.
see? he already had the blue background !
Took me maybe 10 minutes, on my phone, by hand, sitting on the loo.
Can’t tell if what OP posted is AI or image editing… too much jpeg
EDIT: AI, skull changed color pallette and the wheel mount looks odd
Homer had the right idea from the beginning.
TIL Musk played himself on a Simpsons episode a fucking decade ago
He also played a version of himself from another reality in Rick and Morty, which Dan Harmon later deeply regretted portraying him as a genius. Although that could be explained by the fact that it’s an alternate universe version of him where he’s not a fascist prick.
Lots of people fell for his veneer of competency and glazed him like crazy in those days, and there was a real groupthink mentality behind his supposed genius - he was always portrayed by the media as intelligent and then when people hear about him in passing for the first time they come to a conclusion that if that many people think he’s a genius then he simply must be.
2015, not long before he started revealing his true colors.
But early on enough that only true haters like myself and fucking Thunderf00t for some reason really noticed. Seriously I thought I was going crazy back then for hating Musk, I could smell the profligate on him, feels good to be continuously vindicated.
I think the first whiff I had off him was when he started talking hyperloop back in 2013. I figured it was just sort of mis-step in his judgment but that was the first scratch in his teflon coating.
Yeah that’s what made me find out about him funnily enough since it was so beyond stupid due to basic atmospheric dynamics that I legit got pissed at one of my teachers at the time for being excited about it. Turns out violence autism makes one weirdly aware of what are bombs.
Oh yes, that moment when you realize you know better than the teacher. That is a valuable lesson but also one that shouldn’t go to ones head.
If it makes it any better that same teacher put a crack in my conservative upbringing by bringing to my attention the party swap. Good guy and frankly speaking it probably would’ve taken me till post 2020 to really shake it off instead of 2019, which may not seem like a lot but I should note that I am infact fueled by hatred as a baseline and that reactionary slop was cheap fuel for my fire. But thankfully I am now largely fueled by my own self supplied righteous furry, though that does make me some absolutely heinous and unhinged shit. But hey could be worse.
Wait, did he claim to switch back?
He’s deleting a bunch of his Shitter posts like the coward he is. Many are assuming he’ll be bending the knee to Democrats so he doesn’t lose the government welfare grants he lives off of or go to prison.
No matter how many Xitter posts he deletes isn’t going to make me forget the double salute day, or the atrocities since.
What a coward, he could at least have the ovaries to change sides with his whole chest and pretend like he’s doing it for a different reason
I wonder what it’s like being born without a spine.
I will not have Jimmothy the Raccoon put down like this! Musk is more like a sort of demonic amoeba that has used his animorphs like abilities to resemble a spinless person.
imagine spending over half a billion to just switch sides when it isnt working. if this doesnt show everyone, that billionaires shouldn’t exist …
Dude was an outspoken democrat during the obama admin, he’s just a shill for whatever current power he thinks will get him more money.
Same as former Democrat Trump.
Alex Jones called Trump a Democratic plant on election night.
Alex Jones wears velcro sneakers.
Alex Jones eats chili topless as a self perceived masculine power play.
He absolutely is. I’d say his IQ is between ragweed and a fern.
Plant? From a brain activity stand point - absolutely. Democrat? That’s a bit of a stretch.
I’m old enough to remember republicans railing against the government giving money to tesla in one of the spending packages.
For the love of money is the root of all evil - St Timothy verse something:whatever
Took half a billion dollars and just lit that shit on fire. Got worse than nothing for it: his folks lost pretty much all the ground.
He’s a toxic fool. He’s gotta get cut down to size: nationalize SpaceX, Starlink, and prosecute him for Doge.
500 million dollars could have fed so many starving people. 😞
Edit: I used a donation calculator – 500 million as a donation would feed a daily meal to more than 4.7 million children for a year. But I honestly think that calculator can’t calculate the impact of that scale of a donation. Through proper money management, that donation would grow year over year and become many many more meals. What a bummer this world chooses to be.
Well, the question is, where did the half a billion dollars come from?
he borrowed it on margin against Tesla and SpaceX stock, just like any other money he has to actually spend.
That shouldn’t be too hard, SpaceX has fallen 9% today alone.
I am man enough to admit I used to like Musk. Deadass. I remember long long ago in the past he supposed universal healthcare and universal basic income, anyone else?
I turned on him a bit after the diver shit when he wrongly called that guy a pedophile, but then 2020 did it in for me because HE DIDN’T SUPPORT ANDREW YANG! Andrew Yang was basically right about everything, let’s be so for real.
Why did Musk not push his weight behind him. Imagine if he tossed the money he put into supporting cuckservatives into supporting Yang! We might actually be getting $1000 a month now WHICH WE SHOULD AS YANG WAS RIGHT!
Fuck this stupid, South African fraud. Deport him back to Cape Town.
Andrew Yang was basically right about everything, let’s be so for real.
Yang sucks it. You should perhaps think about who you admire more deeply.
The mindset behind a single guy / thing / policy fixing everything is part of the problem. The world is more complicated than that.
Fuck deportation. He deserves nothing less than full asset seizure and life in prison. Stop settling for a world that allows megalomaniacs to subvert democracy with lesser consequences than common thieves. These are the highest of crimes.
We could always mutilate him on the way out. Wouldn’t be too hard to fuck him up visually enough that nobody could easily identify him, hell just chuck him out of a plain with an Amazon branded parachute and see if he lands.
I remember long long ago in the past he supposed universal healthcare and universal basic income, anyone else?
He used to have a PR team to help him with this shit.
But then at one point he fired them (probably because they’d told him one too many times that he shouldn’t do Nazi salutes) and started making his own shitposts on Twitter (it was still Twitter back then), and that’s when the world began to see the real Elon.
I wonder if it’s because all this happened because he really couldn’t contain himself anymore. Like really letting his freak-flag fly?
He’s an addict. If it’s not ketamine, it’s money or power, the same mechanisms work in all addictions, it takes a good deal of self delusion to go as far down the paths addicts go to excuse their behaviour. The more it feeds the delusion, the harder it is to crawl out of the hole it digs you
So there’s no cure for this Behavioral Health?
The diver pedophile situation was the big turning point for me. I wouldn’t say I was a fan boy or anything, but I certainly didn’t think he was the scum of the Earth. Then like a light switch, he because a shittier, more evil Montgomery Burns.
Makes Burns look pleasant to be honest.
Burns at least makes no pretense about being evil.
Honestly he should be given the death penalty
First time I heard of him was a PBS video. Where they walked around his newly starter factory where electric cars were being developed. He was semi bald then. He was saying how he just wanted to make green cars. Needed investors.
Wanted to make fast and cheaper electric cars so everyone could stop using gas.
Found myself hoping he could make that happen. Seemed like a decent guy trying to do good.
What a lying sack of garbage.
It’s entirely possible that he was a decent person at that time. There’s a psychological term that escapes me, but the idea is the nearly every one of us will change given money and power, feel that rules no longer apply to us, feel that we’re smarter than the hoi polloi.
Combine that with drugs and whatever delusions he already had, along with a sketchy family… 🤷🏼♂️
He was born into generational wealth. His parents owned emerald mines. He was never a good person, and almost all his achievements were bought.
It’s this idea of power corrupts.
It’s part of the fundamental attribution error. A cognitive bias.
The belief that if I succeed, Or have “success” (however you define that), it’s because I deserve it. I worked hard. I’m better than others who haven’t achieved what I have. Other people who haven’t achieved what I have are just lazy and stupid.
But if I fail, it’s someone else’s fault.
If others succeed it’s because they got lucky. If others fail it’s due to a personal trait. (Lazy, stupid, etc).
The farther you get from average, the easier it is to have this bias in the extreme.
Imagine you have no morals or ethics. And so you have no issue exploiting or using tragedies to profit. So you get rich from those actions.
You look around and others who didn’t do that and think " they are just stupid. I’m obviously smarter than them because I saw an exploit and took it".
When in reality , other people know how to exploit, we just choose not to because of empathy. Or , in some cases, lack of opportunity to do so. You often need money to make money.
But yeah I think so many of these ultra wealthy people really do believe they are smarter than everyone else because they look for and take advantage of exploits. That’s their whole business model.
This doesn’t make them smarter. Infact from my perspective it makes them appear to have lower intelligence.
Sure I could have a lot more money if I had no issues walking into my neighbors’ house, murdering them and stealing all their money And possessions.
I could do this a few places every night and be pretty wealthy at the end of the week.
That’s not being “smart” or creative or anything requiring intelligence. That’s actually the simplest way to make money. Just take it from someone else.
Real ingenuity is building sustainable business practices.
None of them are capable of that. Obviously.
First time I heard of him was when sent a Tweet that he was going to build a grid scale battery in South Australia. That project actually happened and kickstarted many more grid scale batteries to be built. I thought all the criticism of him was coming from the fossil fuel industry but yeah turned he was actually a dick.
I didn’t see the video you are on about but I did read about him, electric cars, and investors etc etc. And I thought “I’d have one of those” then waited and waited, but as I waited he proved he was a lying piece of shit then nazi so I now only think about him when I think about woodchippers…
I was pretty sure it was on PBS. I saw it on the TV. Not YouTube. But this was a pretty long time ago.
I was so excited for the Tesla Roadster in like 2007? It was cool as hell, legitimately groundbreaking. I got to sit in one in Germany. A future car.
Well, he did make that happen, didn’t he?
No he didn’t, those cars are far from cheap.
They were certainly cheaper
Broke it open for the masses
Fellow threat-to-humanity Sam Altman once said of him, “Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it”.
People who are well tend not to hoard wealth like that
Yup. I remember when people were calling him the IRL Bruce Wayne. Turns out he was Lex Luthor.
That’s an insult to Lex. He’s actually smart.
Musk was cool.
Until he started opening his dipshit mouth.
I never did like him. I couldn’t pinpoint why until he called that diver a pedo, but it started to be a little more clear around then.
From the Seattle Science March in 2017. Nobody knew.
Fuck this stupid, South African fraud
Why do you have to insult us like this 😭
NEVER SLOP!
Meatspin butt he’s trying to catch it. Muskrat Halloween Costume Intensifies.
Fuck musk
