Not that any conservative cares.

I thought the GOP didn't like it when people get cancelled?
It's always different when they perceive themselves as the victim.
And they're always the victim.

Yes, she's the disgusting one, not the guy who was "racist before it was cool."
And people still defend this Nazi.
And ~~people~~ Nazis still defend this Nazi. --FTFY
Can we fire Musk... into the sun?
That's a lot of ∆v, can we fire him out of the solar system instead?
One problem would be that he'd expire happy, because he was doing "cool exploration stuff".
Perhaps it would be more environmentally friendly (which would upset him) if he was "retired" in a more traditional, boring, normal manner (which would upset him), on Earth.
He could then be composted and used to grow flowers, in some kind of "All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden" (which would upset him).

He is really, REALLY becoming fucking absolutely unhinged VERY fast. He is trying to suppress any form of overlook VERY fast and very aggressively. He hasn't acted like this before. While it is expected, he needs to be told that he can go to hell.
What I fear is that he won't be asking for people to be fired, he will be soon asking for arrests and I am very, VERY confident he will brazenly calling for hits on people very openly.
always has been, he is the son of a slaver in apartheid SA and iirc grandson of a nazi. of course he is racist too.
now that he is the literal dictator of the biggest empire in the world, i don't think he needs to worry about softening it anymore. its logical that fascism will serve him judging from the... gestures hes been making. or the casual fascist shit hes been saying for years at this point. or the alleged attempted coups. or the fact hes a billionaire. or ...
i think your hunch is correct though. he didnt bother climbing onto that throne not to use it. the silver lining is that he already showed himself incompetent.

Elon Musk, the Nazi?
He's a bit of an expert on what's "disgusting and cruel."
Oh the little snowflake is feeling hurt...
Musk is more disgusting than anyone else other than his orange bf
He needs to be shot. Idgaf who sees this. Come see me.
I got warnings and a ban on reddit for saying he needs to be subject to capital punishment. Which I believe he does. Musk needs to be arrested and sentenced to death. He needs to be made an example of in that manner.

My grandfather, a WWII veteran, would be rolling in his grave if he saw the rise of Naziism in this country.
And he was the type of person who would openly call for ass-whuppin' if he saw one in person.

Free speech for Musk means Musk gets to decide what people are allowed to say.
Oh my, this is how you destroy and erode democracy ever faster. Dismantle the media and stop any criticism of the leaders, and reporting of true events.
I saw this in a country once who’s name is North Korea.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
What a fucking snowflake.
How about no and fuck you, fascist.
Don’t worry, JD Vance told Musk to rehire him then goose-stepped away.
Hopefully the outcome of the French investigation will be an international arrest warrant.

zero chance that dude resigned because of those tweets..
He realized how far over his head he was, and rather than admitting that to his overlord musk, he takes this lucky break, whines about harassment, and resigned.

Nazis gonna Nazi
Anybody can "demand" something. I am demanding the firing of the disgusting and cruel dumbass who runs the Department of Government Enshitification.
Any sane country that wants to remain that way should be banning Twitter immediately.
It feels like insanity to me that they're watching what he's doing to America right now and not immediately reacting by banning the tools he used to do it here.

So uncovering the disgusting cruelty of others is in itself Disgusting and Cruel? That's just what a tyrant would say.
He really has gone from a wannabe Tony Stark to a wannabe Homelander hasn't he?

3yrs ago, I was 39, if you found a racist tweet from 3 yrs ago, I should be responsible, who cares if 3 yrs ago the kid was in diapers and shouldn't have had access to the internet, that is likely a good enough reason they should never have been allowed near government systems. Wtf did Elon do, walk into a highschool graduation like "you boys wanna see the inside of the government?"

Dude thinks that "truth hurts" gives him the right to get rid of someone for hurting him with truth.
Booohooo! Those big meanies hurt the widdle feefees of Muskyboi by pointing out things that are real! So disgusting!
Goodness Gravy, you mean an investigative journalist did the fucking job they were hired to do? I know its surprising to Elon, because he's never actually done any work and doens't understand the concept, but holy shit he's earning that upcoming lead implant
