politics

Ah yes, “I don’t want to say gay and intersex people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, but I do want it to happen.”

Anyways I’m sterile and drive the most fuel efficient vehicle practical, don’t eat meat, and have made other sacrifices for future generations to have a habitable planet. Musky here has a private jet and at least one of his kids hates him

How about we stop caring what that clown has to say?

I find it especially egregious the people who (rightfully) bash him, but continue to support his products such as Twitter and Tesla. Stop supporting him. Especially on Twitter. Advertisers have fled the platform. Some users have as well. If even 1/2 the people who claim to hate the guy just stopped using Twitter, the entire platform would collapse. Instead you people prop up that site by going to it.

I support eliminating billionaires.

Why report on that guy's opinions as if they matter? He's rich, not a voting rights expert.

He's a fascist, too, which people conveniently ignore because he's rich and some of it might rub off on them.

Elon Musk probably also supports eliminating voting rights for people without a blue check

Just stop giving this idiot attention, it's what he gets off on. You're all getting him off. If that's what you're into, fine but, if it's not, you're being taken advantage of.

Like all republicans, Musk is in favor of eliminating voting (and other) rights for various groups, one by one.

Welcome to the rise of aggressively pro-natalism billionaires, because it's 2023 and we're not imploding fast enough.

Remember, you won't have a seat on the transport to Mars. And if you ever get there, it will be to work the mines.

I support eating the rich; one bite at a time.

I hate that so much credence is being given to the words of that mouth breather. Dude was born with an emerald spoon in his mouth and has a god complex because he bought a car company.

Crazy, out of touch billionaire has a crazy, unrealistic idea. Fucking stop the presses.

I disagree with his fundamental premise that people with children can see the interests of society better.

I don't have children, but I have heard from every possible source that once you have children they become your world.

How is a person expected to reason clearly about the interest of millions of people when they are running an ancient biological program focused on the interests of a tiny family unit?

edit: I once saw the argument that having family doens't make you a better person. Having family makes you a ruthless user and taker on behalf of your family. Most of the stories you hear of people giving in to corruption, happen because those people can't afford to lose their jobs, because they have mouths to feed. Once you have kids, you must choose whether you value your kids over your civic responsibility, or vice-versa.

I really hope this guy loses everything one day.

Yeah, only the desperate, finantially dependent on shitty jobs to feed their youngling should vote. Only them and the wealthy people that provide said shitty jobs. That will surely save what little democracy is left. You know what? People that make as much money as Musk should not be allowed to vote or to donate in order to influence campaings. These dudes have no real nationality, they are not tied anywhere and don’t have the best interest of any nation at heart. Billionaires are practically a walking, talking, foreign power operating within your country’s borders with almost total impunity. A self-deluded eugenecist foreign power at that.

Judging by how he treats his wives, he probably even wants to repeal women's right to vote.

Not surprising anymore. The guy (like his father) has a insane breeding fetish. And never forget that his father groomed his own adopted daughter (that he know since she was a child) and has two kids with her 🤮.

At this point I have finally realised that Elon Musk is an attention-seeking cunt and we should probably start to just ignore him, at least for a while.

However, I've got some ideas! Instead of people without children, how about we restrict the vote to the children themselves? How does that sound, Elon? Nobody over 20 should get a vote because they only have... pthh, I dunno, a few decades, 90 years at most left on this planet, so fuck them. Am I right? Maybe we could give everyone a voting point for every year they have left assuming an average lifespan of 75 years - perhaps women could have more points as they generally live longer. That would be fair, no? We should also completely take money out of politics and stop billionaires and large corporations from undermining democracy too! Don't you think that's a great idea?

A guy with three passports for three different countries should take his wildly out-of-touch idiocy and fuck off.

Why do republicans hate freedom so much?

I support 100% tax over $1 billion. If you can't manage on a billion dollars, the rest would be better spent on others, anyway.

This last couple years has done a great job of exposing the Musk family weird breeder kink.

He doesn't even do the work himself for THAT, He uses artificial insemination.

why republicans always find a way to deny voting for some random group?

Maybe we should take away his rights too since he doesn't actually take care of his kids.

To think that not so long ago, this authoritarian, grifting man-child was hailed as the real-life Tony Stark. If the mask slips any further, even his remaining fanboys are going to find it difficult to defend him.

You're telling me the billionaire whose family fortune came from apartheid emerald mines is a total cunt?

I'm shocked! Shocked! ... Well, not that shocked.

I like how he's burning bridge after bridge with everyone. No one would want to associate with him, and everything he touches turns to shit. Sure he can enjoy his money, but to an extent he's kinda screwed his venture start-up goodwill for life.

Wait till he finds out, that parents are an ethnically much more diverse group than the general public.

"Today, children of color represent a 53% majority share of the US child population, and more children than ever before identify as multiracial, non-Hispanic white. "

When will Elon eventually or slowly fade out of popular media and when he's alienated everyone around him he can go away and live as a recluse. He can be the next Howard Hughes, living in a dark casino hotel room wearing Kleenex boxes on his feet.

People forget a huge side of this as well. It's not just being financial able to have kids but physically able. More and more people now days are seeking fertility treatment and having fertility issues. According to elon, those people would not have the right to vote.

He doesn't even care about his kids, let alone the future. It's all just a numbers game to inflate his ego based on dumb ideology.

What happened to free speech absolutist

How about instead we eliminate the voting rights (and eligibility to hold office or judgeships) of those who are within 10 years of their life expectancy? Childless middle-aged adults have a lot more stake in the state of the world they are going to be living in for the next 40-50 years than the old farts who are about to die.

Does this apply to boomers who no longer have kids that are under the age of 18? You mean they still get to vote? Then fuck off Elon no one wants to buy your stupid tesla coils.

What a huge shift from the real life Iron Man 10 years ago to some I don’t know what to say…

Remind me why this man hasn't been arrested and investigated by multiple alphabet agencies by now?

I feel like "has children" probably correlates with "has stable income", which makes this classism by another name.

Hey why stop there? Let's also not allow voting for people that have been disowned by their kids like musk has. And no voting for religious people who think earth is just a pit stop before heaven/hell so there's no need to improve life on earth at all.

They took our ability to have children through monetary strain, caused by corporate greed, now they think we should lose voting rights lol...
