I wonder if he actually beleives that
He only hurt government NPCs. He is the only brain in a jar in this system we are all computer programs.
He's got protagonist syndrome.
I don’t think he believes in anything beyond accumulating as much wealth as possible at whatever cost.
Ya know... I could see him thinking all his bad jokes, and online antics don't hurt anyone (not true) but the dude is decimating the federal workforce, he can't honestly believe he hasn't done anything to garner that hate. That's people's livelihoods.
His existence is harmful. I feel that I need to defend myself against him at all times, since him just existing is akin to assault and battery.
"I've never done anything harmful"
Haha, good one, Musk. Trolls gonna troll. Now fuck off back under your bridge, you nepo-baby scumbag.
I'm shocked at the number of open Nazis in American "leadership". And the number of unelected "officials" tearing up our government from the inside.
I am less shocked and more resigned. Been tracking the progress of the Republican party over a decade now and watching them throw out euphemism after euphemism as they just aren't needed anymore. What the reaction of shock got us back then was "alarmist" since the Conservative playbook was so layered up in dogwhistles the average person thought it was tinfoil hat fodder.
The base was being groomed to accept this as an outcome and so they were slow boiled. It was that way for the Nazis too. Each terrible move wasn't quick it was the next horrible logical conclusion of their worldview of removing the "useless" aspects of humanity. They started first in government services and then with eugenics in mental health care while dismantling queer infrastructure in cities under the same eugenics line citing them as non-reproductive genetic dead ends. Then it turned to homelessness. Then as their policies created more "useless" classes of people in the form of minorities who could not legally work because of the laws they passed they turned to liquidation of those groups. Each step was followed by a pause to make the rhetoric more callus to build off the basic premise that as an able-bodied, regularly employed, sane, cishet, white, Christian / atheist that your resources were personally being stolen from you to feed the "undeserving".
How far back can you remember Republicans on their soap box about people being undeserving of assistance or support? About people being a waste of resources or campaigning to make those people easier to stigmatize? It shouldn't be surprising after over a decade that they've been dropping the mask.
One would think the world's richest man could afford a mirror....
If you dont consider hacking a government to pieces harmful.... Idk what to tell you. Even hacking a regime to pieces will hurt people. You can't move fast and break things with governments and people's lives.
you routinely go on social media and cheerlead for butchers committing genocide in ukraine and gaza, amongst other things.
terminal affluenza. doesnt understand that actions have consequences.
Is he seriously thinking that people might have empathy for him if he says that?
No it's just fake for the MAGA who are still fully delusional according to the conservative subreddit
I mean, forget the dismantling of the United States of America. Even without that, he sued into oblivion and made it untenable wherever possible to even get recompense from Tesla after the cars self-crashed or self-destructed. Musk is a walking, talking pile of shit harming everyone wherever he can. He made a person saving miners out to be a pedophile. He names his fucking kid an unpronounceable series of letters and numbers. This man is a fucking shouldabeenabort plaguing the whole world.
Oh yes, so innocent. 🙄
Elon reciting the first line of The Narcissist’s Prayer.
I support the current thing.
Fuck you Muskcovite.
The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy [for the rich.]
The paranoid part of my brain sees things like this as an attempt to piss people off enough to kick off some violent attacks, and give Trump the justification he wants to enact martial law.
