Dude just cut lifesaving money for starving children a week ago.
Psychopath playing the victim.
Only stochastic terrorism. A nazi salute here and there. Spreading some racism and queerphobia every now and then. Opening the sewer gates to let in all the nazis on his social media platform. Exploiting some labour in the third world for his personal gain. Buying out politicians and the press in the detriment of the people.
Other than that, yeah, he hasn't done anything harmful.
Then he’s fucking dumber than I thought. And I already thought he made rocks look fucking brilliant.
Textbook example of narcissism.
"iVe nEver dOnE aNytHiNg hArMFuL"
Which is more pathetic. The idea that he really thinks he is a good person or the idea that he can tell a lie like that and someone might believe him who isn't just as pathetic as him?
If that many people kiss your ass an dtell you it smells like roses down there, your ego might get out of hand.
As ridiculous as it is with him, noone is a villain in their own story.
He knows exactly what he did to anger others. So he's just lying about the shock. It really is that simple. Of course he thinks his actions were justified, but that's a different issue.
Elmo and VonShitznpants.....
Someone did a really good one of this with their faces, but now I can't find it.
The rich deserve daisies.
Homeless go home
"I'm not bad. I just tell people to do bad things and they do it. Why are you mad at me?"
I know this guy is a bit autistic, but he can't be that dumb.
Who cares if he’s autistic?? I only know 2 autistic people. They are the gentlest people I know. They are the least likely to display a Nazi salute, they don’t assume control of governments, and they aren’t involved in cutting off people’s much needed funding. I’m so tired of hearing “Elon" and “autistic" in the same breath. If conservatives really believe the shit he does should be excused because he’s “autistic”, then he isn’t competent FULL STOP
His autism is self diagnosed. He's not autistic, he's just a lying piece of shit.
Yup he's one of those people. I have 2 kids on the ASD spectrum. The Internet is full of asshats who self diagnose with that and ADD (of which I and my 2 boys have been diagnosed).
Although I commend them on the positive aspects of getting to know yourself better and maybe you don't have the means to get a formal diagnosis, without it anything you spout is easy to dismiss.
Also to Elmo being autistic. I tell both my boys "Just because you have autism it doesn't entitle you to be an asshole". I wish Errol and his wife ingrained that in their kids but clearly they didn't and from what I see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
to clarify, one can absolutely determine themselves to have autism, but the reason most people go that route is because they can't afford or haven't got access to resources for an official diagnosis....
...of which he has plenty. he's not autistic; he's a sociopathic piece of shit who thinks branding himself as autistic will earn him sympathy points, like keeping a child wrapped around his shoulders will keep him from being luigi'd.
honestly as somone who has autism, most people who diagnose themselves don't have it
There are just a ton of online tests now. Every time my wife and I take one, it says I’m definitely not on the spectrum but it tells my wife something along the lines of “you might want to get checked”. We don’t take that as a diagnosis though. I feel like this could possibly be another example of how we started seeing more left handed people in society after it was no longer stigmatized.
I mean I'm no expert and I'm not going to paint in as big of brushstrokes, but after being diagnosed myself and after reading Unmasking Autism I feel more comfortable in discerning who does and doesn't have it, and I don't think he has it. I think he's just lacking empathy.
Yeah, I'm not saying you can't self diagnose (you probably shouldn't, but that's a different issue), just that he has no official diagnosis and is clearly lying about having autism.
he's not even autistic, just a sociopathic nepo baby piece of shit
I can believe that.
“I was just giving orders.”
I specifically remember the bud light and trans controversy where they were boycotting bud light. Elon seemed to support that. Now that people are trading in their teslas and boycotting all of a sudden it’s not good.
Well yeah he isn't pro trans. It's moral consistency /s
"I am just a poor smol bean uwu nazi"
"i made me and my businesses political, and im shocked to find there are political ramifications of this!
"I made me and my businesses vaguely political in one direction then went all the way into the other direction very explicitly and I don't get why my former customers are pissed"
His ex-wife and several of his children claim otherwise.
Ever since I read his first wife's article I've disliked him. These days it's mild compared to everything else, but back when he was popular… also it's just such personal scumbag behavior
Homie looked at Greek mythology and took it as a guidebook. Total asshole, check. Shitty to your innumerable children with many different women, check.
Elon Musk is 3 beers away from cornering his most attractive niece at Thanksgiving and lecturing her for 38 minutes about how Lincoln started the "War of Northern Aggression."
Well, I guess that's still a step 'up' from his dad, with the 40 year age gap between him and his baby mamma/former step daughter, saying "Show me the rules that say I can't groom/fuck/marry my former step daughter. Show me the rules."
fires thousands of people in violation of the law why do you hate me???
I'm just trying to be a Nazi dictator and everyone hates on me 😭
Tesla, famous for using fairly mined lithium, not abusing migrants on work visas and encouraging unionization.
Elon Musk: "Hitler didn't kill millions of people."
I'm surprised that people didn't start hating on him earlier
Hope he doesn't want us to feel empathy for him because according to him that is a bug and weakness.
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.
