If the left in the US was only a tenth as "radical" as they claim, people like Musk and his billionaire friends would have to dodge bullets wherever they go.
"Radical leftists like Bernie Sanders"
IRA be like, "Wait, you're joking right?"
He means people who oppose shooting immigrants on sight
I don't think he specifically means that. Plenty of other people who use the same term do. But he actually likes immigration because it brings salaries down and his businesses depend on a lot of workers.
I'm fairly sure what he means is people who want to raise the minimum wage and oppose abolishing workers protections of different sorts.
Economists don't all agree that immigration brings wages down. Unemployment is actually up right now and a lack of immigrants is to blame, because they propped the whole system up. Less immigrants = weaker economy.
What brings wages down is the employer concentration, lack of collective bargaining power, and trickle-down economics. Our policies are designed to keep earnings down for the lower classes, so the wealthy ruling class can hoard ever more.

The ones that "killed" what he very mistakenly thought was his son

I would absolutely love to completely forget who Elon Musk is.
I would love if he died.
I’d prefer he be jailed for fraud and corruption and exposed for the sniveling inbred moron he is, first, if it’s alright by you.
I genuinely don't believe that will ever happen, but the death or killed will.
But, happy to be wrong.

Billionaires spending craptons of money convincing poor people that even poorer people are their enemy is never good for the world.

He knows which party is more likely to investigate his crimes.
He should be very scared. He has taken advantage of the government in ways we would never had dreamed possible before. He managed to eliminate all his threats and ensure his contracts and permits are upheld. Massive corruption is an understatement.
I dream of a world in which elon musk is behind bars, fed stale bread

I'd be in jail
We didn't forget the reason why you want left to lose, Elmo!
Go back to Africa and fuck up your own country you dirty immigrant!!!
America isn't toast, your sorry ass is toast. Get fucked, idiot.
When billionaires are afraid, you know you’re on the correct path.
Dear Mr. Musk, who exactly are the "radical left" that you seem to fear so much?
Dude there is no radical left in the US. There’s different flavors of right, one of them is inconvenient to con men. Thats it.
Where is this radical left and how can I get some?
The amount he will spend will be proportionately far less than the rest of us spend on general insurances. He'll also claim this as a tax deductible. So it gets him further tax savings and keeps him more likely to stay in a position of power and influence. Fuck that. Tax the billionaire class.
Murder the lot. They don't think twice about killing a worker, we shouldn't think twice about killing them. It's self defence really.
People should go all in on boycotting all his companies especially Tesla and Twitter.
Other countries need to cap campaign contributions if they haven't already because Musk has been known to fund the far-right globally.
"My ass is toast if democracy wins."
-FTFY
Yes because your foray into politics was so fruitful before. Maybe he’ll actually destroy his career this time like he got close to last time?
Tesla's stock creeps ever higher because the insane casino that is Wall Street hangs on his every word. "Well sure, people refuse to buy his cars," they say. "But now he says it doesn't matter." They're betting on the taxi fleet and humanoid robots taking over and fixing everything.
The level of hopium among that bunch just amazes me. I was thinking they might have one of the highest P/E ratios, but there are apparently many companies with even higher P/Es.
Some of those seem to be medical research outfits, and my guess is that people are gambling on some incredible moonshot kind of thing. I guess people believe fElon's claims about robots, taxis and their "AI", but given his track record on delivering an EV for rigs, let's just say I'm a bit skeptical. The guy also seems to be distracted by a million other things that have nothing to do with running any of his companies.
Yeah, the radical right is doing a great job running the country. Housing is affordable, groceries are at an all time low, and unemployment is actually at a net negative. They're just giving jobs away at every corner!
Fuck you, Elon. Eat shit and die. Convince your friend Trump to eat a big bowl as well.
he’s toast if his pedo friends don’t win
I like toast. More toast plz
Believing in other viewpoints, Worker's Rights, and acknowledging that minorities exist is not "radical", you pathetic Nazi.
god damn was a sniveling little bitch. All that money and he still has to kneel down to the party that turned on him a few months ago.
Break that son of a bitch down from his ketamine throne and bury him in his Tesla toybox
He's going full retard huh?
The joke is he doesn't need to go "all in" to influence US politics.
We're surprisingly cheap with above board "donations". Let's all pretend that's all they get.
In the 70s, the FBI ran a sting, bribing government officials (congress, judge, etc). They immediately caught like 30 of them, fish in a barrel. It was called "Abscam".
Today, donations from Super PACs don't need to be explained, there is no requirement to divulge. So, they are bribed above board if the charges are "reasonable", if it's more expensive to an absurd degree, they use other means.
Let's say he had to give everyone in leadership of congress and executive and courts a MILLION DOLLARS. He'd still be unfathomably wealthy, he wouldn't even notice it's missing.
They'll sell out usually for five-six figures, or even a lucrative trading tip.
Epstein did a lot of this "lobbying". Sometimes those who need to be bought have certain secrets they wish to share.
Not America, just billionaires
Felon Musk is looking to get cucked again.
“Radical left”=far right in functional countries just not total Nazis but still Nazi enablers
I really wish people would understand that billionaires don't speak for "America" and that their interests are almost exactly opposed to the interests of regular people. This is the case regardless of where on the political spectrum your beliefs happen to lie.
