“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!”

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So instead, I will link a now somewhat out of date, but otherwise fairly comphrensive youtube video explaining how shitty this guy is.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

Ted, go fucking die already. Fuck you and anybody who's uneducated and naive enough to fall for the Republican playbook. You don't get to try to shift blame with wet toilet paper cries. When enough people tell you that you're shit and you constantly are shit, look like shit, and act like shit, you should hop in the shower and do some inventory. You're an embarrassment to your whored out redneck state and have never been fit for public office. I can't wait to smile about your obituary and share it with friends.

Wow, Cruz must really loathe him.

The NAZI needs to be driven out of this country. It is nearly destroyed because of him.

Fuck you, Ted.

I feel like Elon has fallen out of the inner circle and he can now only interact with the turds that orbit on the far outer ring now. I just picture Ted Cruz coming out like a hunched over Golem to tell him and whatever other orbiting magat turds he's still cool.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

why use his preferred name?

his name is Raphael Cruz.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Technically his name is Rafael Edward Cruz and it's not that uncommon for public figures to go by their middle name or a diminutive thereof🤷

That being said, fuck Cruz with a rusty rail spike.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

If they don't respect the preferred names of trans people, then they shouldn't be afforded the same respect in return.

Can we get other countries to deny these sycophants entry for being spineless?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The only way to be more hated is to get Ted Cruz to defend him...

So, no.

On Christmas night, does Ted Cruz leave a can of beans out in case Rorschach visits his home?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

If Ded Cruz asks for something ... my automatic reaction is to do the exact opposite

Thanks Ded ... I'm going to hate Muskrat harder

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

If these people like the work he is doing, that immediately makes it bad and highly likely unlawful to the rest of us out here in actual real society. Also, this guy not understanding why a thing is has got to be the least shocking thing in the world. Not a guy with a finger on the pulse of his constituents, let alone the nation.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Remember when Rafael Cruz had that booger on his lip during a speech? I haven't forgotten. He ate a booger during a debate.

If we take a small, pause from treating xelon like the scum he always was, we will be sure to direct all that energy your way ted head.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

He rooted out massive waste, fraud and abuse, and he did so at enormous cost to himself.

massive waste and enormous cost got me. this is just an appeal to feelings as always.
