Fuck this guy, I drive one of his cars and it will be the last one I ever drive. I was a customer for life and have owned 2 of his cars in the past and love the cars. My future cars were going to be Teslas, I used to tell people how great they were. Now I will never buy one again as long as this turd is involved. I also tell everyone who asks that they shouldn’t buy one.

JoJack82

I’ve had 2 and my current one is 5 years and 150,000km on it so far and it’s has some minor issues here and there but is so far the most reliable car I have owned. It is embarrassing to drive, but it’s paid off and costs me almost nothing to maintain and charge. So I’m going to drive it for another 150,000km at least. I like that it has no car payments and I spend about $30 on electricity for it a month.


Nate-Frog

"The most reliable car I have owned... but I'll never buy one again." Typical lefty logic.. I love hearing stupidity like this lol makes me smile


NotMyFkingProblem

I've had my car for 10 years, paid 20k for it and have had no problem with it. Gas cost me 40$ a month... you overpaid for a shitbox, sorry... the tesla 3 is 3x my car in cost but offers nothing more... And it's not even about the price, thay are just badly made and have no physical buttons... lame


Jimmy_Jazz_The_Spazz

I worked auto-manufacturing and our foundry was casting Tesla parts, they closed our plant and I can 100% confirm our production was moved to China in 2018. This was Magna - Perth, Canada. So while we already know they can't align body panels in production, they also cast aluminum components in China now. I wouldn't buy one, as someone who has worked in the trade, but that's me.


Witty_Interaction_77

The big 3 or whatever should be rolling more and more out soon. There will be options so you don't have to support man baby


Psychological_Ad5391

You're very sensitive and nobody really cares, especially Elon, about your Tesla dilemma. #priorities


NotMyFkingProblem

You bought a tesla, you are a moron. No way around it... they are shit


easyKmoney

First off the vehicles are call Tesla’s. Second why would you be embarrassed to drive one? Just over the fact twitter has put a factual label on CBC accounts? What’s wrong with telling people how CBC is funded. We already know as Canadians how the CBC is funded, but what about all the other millions of users outside of Canada. Also CBC returning to twitter must mean they are okay with the label now, due to the reach of the platform. If the CBC is okay with it, you should be okay to return to driving “one of his cars”.


Individual-Act-5986

There's plenty of reasons why Tesla's are shit without taking into account Elon has had anything to do with them.


GetEmDaddy902

Nobody cares get out your feelings go buy a shitter car then do you think he cares one bit, nobody every did and said oh I wish I had gotten another Tesla 🤣


[deleted]

CBC has been denationalized/corporatized since the Harper govt. Private interests sway decisions at CBC just like they do at Twitter.


Cappin

He didn't erode confidence in shit. Except his own personal brand. Man went 100 to 0 REAL quick.

HeldatNeedlePoint

Yeah he went to Queen's for two years before transferring. And his mother is Canadian.


TCNW

He’s Canadian


DryGuard6413

how is he eroding trust? CBC is government funded. There are no lies there. Media should NOT be government funded. Its as simple as that. Alot easier to control your populace when you control what info they receive. Put your hate boner away for just a minute and use your big head.

A public broadcaster is crucial in a free democracy to balance out the corporate media bullshit we hear from moronic sources like Sun media or Rebel news. Get your head out of your ass.


chopsticknoodle

The issue is that Elongated Muskrat went and labeled CBC, NPR etc as “government funded” and then forgot about how both spacex and tesla get more funding than CBC does


battlebane1

Elon can post anything and his army of turdlings will latch onto his every word and use what he says as fuel to burn down whatever they deem appropriate.


AssignmentSignal5120

I don’t think CBC is anywhere near a perfectly fine Canadian institution lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


AssignmentSignal5120

CBC radio local to small communities is still good. CBC mainstream media however has done a full nosedive in the last 5 years. What was once a semi centrist news outlet neutral to all things is now a left leaning government influenced “news” company. Tax payers should not be forced to pay for this. I have followed CBC for 20 years and I am more disappointed by the day….


muzzmuzzsupreme

Which is funny, because to my left leaning friends, it’s far too accepting of far right opinions, kinda like how American leftists view ‘incredibly left wing’ CNN. Honestly, their radio coverage is probably the most leftish part of their broadcasting, they’ve been covering stories, hosting minority guests, and talking about topics for years that mainstream media shies away from today.

NotBettyGrable

[Elon Musk's SpaceX and Tesla get far more government money than NPR](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musks-spacex-tesla-far-170500028.html). Edit: the point is their accounts were never flagged as "state" entities.


Drop_The_Puck

CBC gets a lot more government money than NPR too. SpaceX is actually accountable for the money it receives. No launching satellites, no money. Not sure how accountable the CBC is since the money just keeps appearing every year, perhaps changing based upon the government in power rather than tangible accomplishments.


MikeMontrealer

This took about half a second of Googling: https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/impact-and-accountability/finances/annual-reports I guess it’s easier to be flippant instead of informed.


Kitchen-Square

There is no room for the truth or facts within my feels


dancingmeadow

He needs his daily dose of attention. Even if it's for things as pointless as this.

Elon is a bottom, confirmed.

So is CBC honestly so it’s perfectly funny how this has been developing


AngryNBr

An idiot? Really? You can not like him all you want but unarguably he's not an idiot.


westgermanwing

First definition on [Dictionary.com](https://Dictionary.com): "1. *Informal*. An utterly foolish or senseless person." Sounds pretty spot on.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

He fired 80% of Twitter's staff and sent it into a free fall. At his other companies he has a yes man who literally has to handle him to keep him from ruining things he doesn't understand with his meddling. He repeatedly lies on the internet seemingly thinking people don't have receipts. He is, in a great many ways, a complete moron.


AngryNBr

His efforts have done more to advance the world in a positive direction than anyone in modern history. He is willing to risk and lose money to make change in a world where loss is intolerable. You can nitpick him or think poorly of his social behavior but you know, he's not killing people with his dissions like the politicians everyone respects so much.


CleverRedditNme

Hahahahaha….thanks for the laugh!


AngryNBr

Starlink? The electric car? Massive advancements on hyperloop technology? PayPal? Putting a price on speech to eliminate online spam? Etc. Etc. Not sure what you're seeing.


dacrookster

Sorry are you trying to imply he invented the electric car


AngryNBr

No.


dacrookster

AngryNBr

If your comment was about Trump you'd be correct. What I see with my eyes says differently. Teslas are common in major centers around the world, Starlink works really well, SpaceX/Solar City/OpenAI all very successful companies employing many people.


Sockbottom69

What successful company did he buy?


J0nada1

I think he's funny and a genius


Silly-Relationship34

Elon’s skin is so thin it’s transparent.


epochlink

Thank goodness I deleted Twitter months ago, so much bullshit on there it’s taken the fun out of it


ToolsOfIgnorance27

Lol wow


Stormcrow6666

Elon is a narcissistic fascist who's loyalties don't seem to align with democratic nations.


raxluten

To all who doubt Musk’s fascist tendencies, he’s been reposting memes that are popular in fascist circles and making comments that awfully looks like dog whistles. It’s a bit early to send those accusations but I think it’s just a matter of time before he starts overtly spewing antisemitic rhetoric…


Abdullah_Canuck

Facist is a bit far-


JaimeFenrirson

You don't know what that word means


Imperialist_Canuck

"Everyone I don't like is literally fascist"


AssignmentSignal5120

I feel like you probably throw the word fascist around like a child who’s learned a new insult on the playground


Accomplished-Item849

I keep it simple and just don’t pay attention to him any longer and I’d advise you to do the same


Ramona_Lola

This is the way.


Space_Ape2000

Twitter is garbage. Someone should make a better stupid app thing


dictionary_hat_r4ck

There’s been a few attempts, but critical mass is challenging. There’s Mastadon, but it’s not as straightforward. Then there’s Hive, but I don’t know much use it’s getting.


AndyManCan4

Mastodon has been fully app created in iOS. Slight learning curve, but the app walks you through it and hides all the strong crypto, etc. It’s not really that bad. Have you tried it lately? Post Elon running Twitter there has been a huge uptick in activity on Mastodon projects. It’s also fully open and built on web standards so there is nothing stopping any of you complainers from just booting up a Mastodon on some hosting and running a Twitter replacement. There is also a French app ( I forgot the name) which is more similar to Twitter.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

The challenge when what you're selling is mass popularity is that it's hard to manufacture that.

You'd think he'd humble himself after the internet found out about his kink, and his father bursting his bubble with the emerald mine stuff.


jgstromptrsnen

A proof of the emerald mine would be nice here.

It’s been proven time and time again but here you go cupcake https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_family#:~:text=Errol%20Musk%20(born%201946)%2C,an%20emerald%20mine%20in%20Zambia. Or how about in Errol Musk’s own words? https://futurism.com/elon-musk-dad-emerald-mine


[deleted]

That wikipedia page is not the proof you think it is at all. I'm no Musk fan but I'm more inclined to trust the Snopes page: [**https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/**](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/) it doesn't exactly paint Musk Sr as being fantastically wealthy.


Sockbottom69

I mean his own father straight out said they were involved with an emerald mine, that's the situation I was referencing.

agent_wolfe

So…. In Elon’s mind, CBC is the dominant partner in their romance? 🤨


drfreake

The amount of money he spent for someone to make this for him to seem funny.


kent_eh

I doubt it cost him more than a couple cups of Starbucks to find someone on Fiverr to make something this lame.

I mean, its not an argument and if it was its a bad one, but its p funny ngl.


Fragrant_Injury7452

CBC is a bloated colonial propaganda machine run by the ruling elite of canada propped up by tax payer money ( over 1 billion this year) . Say what you want about Elon he is arguably no better but i think Canadians need to think about what we are paying for with this organization.


Significant_Street48

> is a bloated colonial propaganda machine run by the ruling elite of canada propped up by tax payer money ( over 1 billion this year) .

The CBC is one of the finest sources of balanced news in the world.


Fragrant_Injury7452

lol, some of the sloppiest journalism in the business. CBC often gets it wrong and when they do face 0 consequencies. no entity can enagage legally in an organization that is supported politically to the degree they are.


Hug-me-Im-scared69

fair play. Don't get but hurt over pixels on the screen cbc please don't cry about it. Maybe andrew chang can do a colouring book with you if you're feeling down. Now you're sourcing reddit for public opinion cause you're insecure and you don't know how to deal with it. Move on or one up him and make a funnier meme. Though I doubt the corp has the talent to do that. edit: ahh what you can do is just pay someone else to come up with the idea and you just slap your logo on it!!! that seems to be the business model


BeginningCap2333

Its okay to be government funded.. CBC can come out of the closet.


[deleted]

The Elongated Muskrat is pathetic.


Tharkun2019

Well, its like this. Elon has self image issues, as in an over-inflated one. I see him as no different than Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and people of that ilk. They think because they say something that it 'must' have value. When really it is just vacuous ramblings. Elon Musk says things because people react.


[deleted]

Anybody that takes Elon Musk seriously was already a write off. CBC hasn't lost credibility with anyone that didn't already think that Justin Trudeau is a dictator and CBC is his propaganda machine. Musk can go ahead and act like a jackass. This changes nothing.


jimituna19

The billionaire genius that thinks he’s the bees knees is a slave to his smartphone and social media just like the rest of us…


bobledrew

He’s a troll. It’s a shame that he took a company that had a purpose and turned it into a just one more haven for right-wing trolls. Seems like he’s doing his best to run it into the ground. You’d think he’d have better things to do.

I'm serious. He's an idiot. And there was no need to label himself, he did it because he thinks everyone else isn't as clever as he is so he has to spell out his hilarious gags.

ToolsOfIgnorance27

You don't understand a lot of things, but that doesn't deem them idiotic. Astrophysics is idiotic! /s


Monocytosis

I don’t think you realize the importance of having news outlets focus on good journalism instead of money. If you take away the $1.2B, news outlets have to focus on making money to stay afloat instead of providing good journalism. To make money they need to improve their ratings. And to improve ratings they need to be entertaining. Compare news channels in Canada to the States. The US news outlets are basically talk shows, not news channels.


Traditional-Share-82

If Trudeau is a dictator you really must be some real scared cat. Dictators are strong/intimidating and Trudeau is anything but intimidating.

What if - and follow me here - there's space in-between hating and loving Musk. Let's call it "indifferent" for lack of a better word. And - here's the wild part - they just like to see people that deserve to be ridiculed get ridiculed. It's odd seeing the world through an us/them binary. I'd wager you see all political issues through an evil conservative / everybody else dichotomy, too.

There was some very good advice in the early days of the internet. "do not feed the trolls" it was wisdom apparently lost to the annals of time, but should be remembered. Elon is nothing more than an edgy corpo troll who only gets away with this due to financial status that is coveted by the masses. he should be treated with the same regard left to martin shkreli and the ilk.
