What the hell, OP? Don't post fake tweets without marking them as fake

Elon Musk did not tweet this. This screenshot is a forgery.

I have OP tagged as rage bait so probably not.

No way this is real, they can’t be that honest about it.

Not unless someone else wrote it. His tweets are less coherent.

It's got the blue checkmark, so looks legit ✔️

Like, there's enough batshit crazy right now without having to make it up. Don't be a part of the problem so that you can earn internet points.

I don't trust social media posts without timestamps.

Put the blame where it belongs.

Ronald Reagan was a middle class kid who wanted to be very, very, very rich. When he got to Hollywood he made it his business to always be the poorest guy in the room. He sucked up to the rich every chance he got.

One of the things he did for them was tell them that they didn't owe the peons anything. In fact, he told them they should flaunt their wealth and grind down the poor where and whenever they could.

Surely he didn't actually go that mask off?

TLDR: Elon is Trump’s boss, just confirmed by Elon.

Fake tweet, but yes
