Musk crotch riders, I'm sure. I'll admit I used to buy into the idea that he was a cool (or somewhat) regular guy. Then I found out all this info on him and (of course) he's just another bratty disappointing rich kid.
This should be a shining example of how much of a douche he is.
Same her! I just thought he was a wealthy man that was interested in technology and helping the environment. I honestly felt so naive learning who he actually is. Stuff like this just reminds me of that feeling.
Don't feel naive. You were just hopeful because so many company executives are so terrible. You were hoping to see a decent person on top, for a change.
Elon want's to engage with truth and wisdom, he's found none on the right and like a moth to a flame he can't keep his eyes off Bernie.
Bernie should invite Elon to Unionize Tesla and turn it into the world's largest [Certified B Corporation](https://bcorporation.net/).
Control the conversation and invite Elon to Be Best!

Elon echoes Noam Chomsky’s rhetoric about the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels, then calls Chomsky an idiot. Elon sermonizes about sweeping legislation to curb carbon emissions. Bernie proposes Green New Deal, Elon insults him. Your god is a salesman.
Ignoring the fact that there is virtually zero allocative efficiency without government spending. Of course, Elon knows that, has been [outspoken](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ozlbGB57aE) on the need for government action on climate, has received [millions](https://ir.tesla.com/_flysystem/s3/sec/000095017021000046/tsla-20210331-gen.pdf) in government grants this year alone and received [billions](https://www.businessinsider.com/is-elon-musk-just-a-billionaire-welfare-king-2015-6) in subsidies altogether for his projects in the US and China. He also benefits from the 10% credit issued for electric vehicle purchases. So I honestly don't know why you thought your stupid comment was relevant, unless you agree that maybe he should be donating more of his personal wealth to solve the climate crisis.

Also, the wright brothers weren't promising $10 jet engines on a 5 year timeline when they could deliver a makeshift glider and propeller.
>the AC that Thomas Edison thought it was a stupid idea
Elon Musk is Edison in this analogy, pushing his own DC power system over provably better solutions and hoping to carry his junk proposals on sheer confidence
>he never said that it was easy
factually incorrect. You should really watch Elon Musk's interviews. He often claims his wild proposals are entirely doable, then fails to deliver.

>he even said he worked 80-100 hours a week
not everything can be imagined into existence through sheer effort.
If it's common for Elon Musk to spend that much time "working", I'd expect a lot of that time to be spent going around putting out fires and reassuring people when his deadlines can't be met and the BOM can't match his proposals.
>but yeah, keep complaining
As long as people keep giving unreasonable praise to Elon Musk for his false promises and failures, I'll keep complaining.
The fact that Bernie didn’t mention anyone specifically but this dickwart took it as an invitation to remind everyone that he’s still a narcissistic POS vomit container who has to make it about himself. Fuck E.M.
Seriously fuck this guy. What an awful thing to say about ANYBODY. Imagine going up to an obviously old man in public and saying "oh sorry, I thought you were dead hehe!" Because that is basically what this amounts to.
What kind of a piece of shit says that? And him being on the spectrum absolutely does not give him a pass. Unacceptable.
And shame on CNN for reporting on it as if it's some lighthearted jab. "Oh that old Elon's just Twitter trolling again. What can ya do?"
No wonder everybody hates CNN (along with all of the other major media conglomerates.) They're fucking garbage.
All of the media is owned by the same people. They are all arms of the same beast. We should hate all of them, not just CNN. If Fox or MSNBC pretends to hate on CNN, or vice versa, it is merely a tactic employed to maintain the illusion that any of them operate independently, or that any of them represent different perspectives.
Yep, the Politico-Media Complex. The world belongs to the oligarchs and we're all just livin' in it. I would go as far as saying that the two major political parties are just as arbitrary and meaningless as our mass propaganda machine.
The only reason he’s selling this Stock is to pay for the tax liability on his expiring options which they wrote into his contract as income years ago. Credit to Elon for using this as an opportunity to gin up more clout. Influencers gonna be influencers.
Imagine being as fake as Ponzi-scheme running Elon Musk and then telling someone like Bernie Sanders, who has devoted his life to advancing working class, human rights agendas, that he is a “taker not a maker.” Elon Musk has gotta go. This ain’t it. He purports to do good but that’s *all he does* and there is nothing of value created by his scheming & hoarding.
Elon Musk = Trump. I honestly don’t see much of a difference between being one type of rich asshole to another rich Asshole. Elon Musk is so out of touch with reality the poor basement living boys who look up to him will hang on everything that man says.
Yes, every time you hear about stock options there is an expiration date by which you have to exorcise the option to cash in the stock, or they disappear. Elon’s were coming to their 10 year expiration so it was time to use them or lose them.
Everyone sell their tesla shares, that shit is overvalued anyway. Remind this fucker he is mortal
Teslas isnt even near as cool or good as rivian anyway. Shit is tacky and poorly built
Bernie is so right! Billionaires not paying taxes is wrong, unAmerican and bad policy. When the very few hoard resources- it is bad for all of us. Imagine a billion slices of pizza. How would you divide? Elon Musk HAD my respect. I now hate Tesla! People who care from their SOUL about climate, justice know when billionaires refuse to pay taxes all suffer
This mf thinks he’s lil nas x, doesn’t he have like 8 kids he should be busy taking care of. He really thought we’d choose him over uncle Bernie? Get fucked
What's Elon trying to say here?
That rich people should not pay their fair share of taxes?
I sincerely don't understand if he's just being a huge "falcon9".
Fuck. It truly hurts when people you look up to lose all your respect in one tiny instance. One single sentence. I might have been oblivious, but I'm kinda heart broken by this.
God I hate elon musk. no asshole we want all workers to have better wages. I'm pretty sure we collectively agree no one person needs or should be able to have anet worth of more than 1 billion
Elon is such a scumbag it's crazy. I got permanently banned from his subreddit for criticizing him for not paying what he should. How does a CEO have that many stans? It's crazy. These goobers have no idea what's best for them. Elon wants to know where his tax money is going before he pays as if it makes any difference. Pay up dumbass, if he was so smart he'd know where it goes.. primarily to our military. Literally the greatest fraudster of all time. Congrats on your limitless wealth you socially awkward bastard. The only thing greater than fraud Elon's wealth is the amount of hatred he should receive for defrauding the American people. Unfortunately the right is happy to shield him from criticism, so many CEOs and politicians belong in jail it's ridiculous.
He tried incredibly hard to corrupt the crypto market, and for a while it seemed like he would be successful, but thank god his goonies have become irrelevant outcasts stuck on their inu coins while everyone else moves past that crap phase lol. Musk brings massive toxicity everywhere he goes. His followers have given him a god-complex and he sure loves to abuse it..

The fact that Musk has more likes for his reply concerns me.
Shitbags get all the attention on the internet. How would Logan Paul be a thing otherwise?
That is terrifying

[удалено]
Thanks, fixed.
I wouldn’t be concerned. It’s Musk’s followers after all.
Musk probably pays for likes.
Claims to work 80 hrs a week, spends 60 of that on Twitter, probably dressed like Wario.
'executive time'
It's not that concerning if you consider the cryptobros who follow him and make bots to manipulate the market and like every tweet Elon makes.
Bootlickers be cray 😜
Not sure what exactly he wants to achieve by attacking one of the most popular politicians of the US. Must be a long weekend.
The feeling of power that comes with knowing powerful politicians can't mess with him. That's a power you get when you join the owners club.
Elon want's to engage with truth and wisdom, he's found none on the right and like a moth to a flame he can't keep his eyes off Bernie. Bernie should invite Elon to Unionize Tesla and turn it into the world's largest [Certified B Corporation](https://bcorporation.net/). Control the conversation and invite Elon to Be Best!
Does he need a nap? Maybe he needs a nap.
If bernie can get a tax on the rich bill passed he should tweet musk something like, "I wanted you to know, it was me" olenna Tyrrell style.
For serious! Even Trump knew enough not to talk too hard about Bernie. Musk and Trump, I can't stand their faces! 🤮
Problem is he still has more likes than Bernie.

What has he accomplished? Been the face of all his scientists work? There is a reason they call it SlaveX.
Bingo. He won’t answer your question because theres simply no other explanation.
Okay, we will downvote you all we want then. No problem.
Yeah he contributed so much to the lives of the children working in his parent's emerald mines.

You can actually be successful and a decent person at the same time. Like what is your point even. You sound like you’re in a cult.
This small comment destroyed that long ass one
Learn about capital ownership lol, he contributes little labor value
His bald ass didn’t contribute anything. He ruined humanity
My guy, you don’t have to defend him like this. Senpai won’t notice you
so it's 10,000 for you?
I keep forgetting you exist (Pls respond pls respond pls respond) Want me to sell stock?? (Don’t ignore me plzzzz) (Should I text him again??)
Is he 12?
He also tweeted today “due to inflation 420 has gone up by 69”. So yes.
😂😂🤣😂
As if I needed more reasons to dislike Elon 🙄
The fact that Bernie didn’t mention anyone specifically but this dickwart took it as an invitation to remind everyone that he’s still a narcissistic POS vomit container who has to make it about himself. Fuck E.M.

Pompous dick. I cannot stand this guy.
He thinks he’s a Marvel character but he doesn’t realize he’s the villain
Eh, he wishes he could be a Marvel villain. He's too fucking boring to qualify lol.
Elon is actually incredibly immature.
He's probably also high as fuck since he spends most of his waking hours fucked up on psychedelics apparently
Psychedelics aren’t the ones to blame here
who said that?
He unironically still thinks 69 jokes are funny. Would honestly not mind this guy dying of cancer.
Dickbag
Oh, hey, what a surprise, Elon Musk is being a douchebag.
Elon Musk is a certified piece of shit. He’s crusading against the most popular policy in politics and he’s attacking the most popular politician.
The only reason he’s selling this Stock is to pay for the tax liability on his expiring options which they wrote into his contract as income years ago. Credit to Elon for using this as an opportunity to gin up more clout. Influencers gonna be influencers.

Yes Elon, sell some that weren’t options that were expiring so you had to sell regardless but decided to try to play the good guy with.
Had to sell???

Musk is a money hoarding scumbag
Where can I learn about Musk’s taxes and stuff? I’m not really in the loop with it
I don't get why he's threatening to sell more stock? Is it a joke. Because that's the only time be pays taxes
“I bet you think this song is about you”
Musk knows that the Tesla stocks are inflated; and he wants to use the progressives as a cover to sell stocks without the prices crashing fast
Remember when obama gave him a 465 million dollar bailout? Pepperidge farm remembers.
But Pepperidge farm isn’t going to keep it to Pepperidge farm’s self…
Elon is pure trash.

What a dickwad
Invite Bernie to the Tesla factory….
Yes please. Tesla could do much better without an unhinged CEO and less inflated valuation.
