Everyone should remember that Elon doesn't care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He's in it for the money.

He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he's done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he's pivoting back and trying to appease them.

It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

Elon is so incompetent that he thinks he is playing poker but shows everyone his hand.

We see you, Elon, go ahead. The world is watching as you wanted. We will watch you lose to yourself.

He shows everyone his hand, but in his hand he holds a royal flush, 5 black lotus, a Mega Mewtwo, and half a trillion dollars.

The problem is that the cards are stacked so much in his favour that he doesn't have to hide his hand. We see him allright. But what good does this do? Can we un-elect him? Can we impeach him? What can we do? Pretty much nothing.

There are things one can do to Swasticars and his dealerships.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

True, but the one who gets inconvenienced the most is the poor minimum wage fool working at the dealership.

Seriously: That guy is worth half a trillion dollars. Even if he looses 99% of his wealth, he wouldn't actually notice. It wouldn't change one thing about his living standard.

How do you think he became the richest man on the world?

Started with daddy's Emerald mine money and lots of pump and dump schemes. We all know it now. The FTC knew it when they forced him to buy twitter.
