“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.

Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.

Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.

Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Honestly, if Ted Cruz said something nice about me, it'd just make me feel dirty.

And we're talking full on "covered in the slime of a putrid and somehow racist land slug" levels of dirty.

Well, I'm not American, so I'm going to keep calling him a nazi piece of shit

And if would be doing so even if I was unfortunate enough to be American

Can we just slaughter these people already? Take what they own and redistribute the wealth?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

I don't think people are nasty enough to him. Until he's a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 5 days ago

elon musk is a nazi, so naturally ted cruz lives to kiss his ass.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

The only reason we aren't far, far nastier to all of these criminals is because it's illegal. But now that laws are becoming optional and arbitrary, soon we won't have to worry about how nasty we get.

They will have to worry, though.

I'd be happy to start being more nasty to Ted Cruz instead.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Instead? Nah, "as well" ;)

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

Not a chance Rafael. You and the muskrat need to go the way of the dodo. Eaten to extinction.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 5 days ago

Wait until you hear the shit Trump says about your dad and your wife, Ted, being so concerned with mean people and all.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 days ago

Musk cos played as a politician so he could lift sanctions and policies in the way of his companies. Now that he's done that he'll go back forcing himself on his secretaries

Listen, I'll gladly stop being nasty to Elon Musk. Just as soon as he kills himself.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 5 days ago

He thinks Americans should express gratitude to Musk? For doing what, exactly?

He thinks we should be nice to Elon but he has no problem with people like Trump calling his wife ugly.

The sleazy used car sales man stands up for a car company CEO.

This checks out

[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

Ted Cruz looks like his soul left his body long ago, and now he’s just a skeleton wearing a skin bag exclusively saying things nobody with a soul ever could or would.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

Is this the snowflake I have been hearing so much about? Why does he look like he is about to cry?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

This guy is absolutely desperate for a friend who might be able to help him politically. Anyone to get him on tv. He’s like a scab that prople keep picking. Loathesome human.

I would tell this asshat to go back to Alberta, where he was born, but I would not wish such harm on Canadians.

So instead, I will link a now somewhat out of date, but otherwise fairly comphrensive youtube video explaining how shitty this guy is.

Renegade Cut - Nobody Likes Ted Cruz

He is a slimy worm who believes in nothing, but just appoints himself the mouthpiece of the whatever the crazy republican flavor of this particular election season is.
