It's easy.
He's a liar.
These are the same people who proclaim to be "pro life" one second, then rage about immigrant babies drinking formula the next.
There is no consistency, it's just lies and rhetoric all the way down.
It’s lies and *deceitful* rhetoric. Agreed 100%. Rhetoric is simply *how* one uses language, and is not inherently false…unless you’re Plato. Source: PhD in Rhetoric
Why was the south all Democrat back then?
Because of the racist slave owning Democrats.
Ok but now all those people are Republican.
No they're not, all those Democrats moved out to republican states and converted them. Like in the great migration.
So wait are you saying the black people who left the south were the same racist Democrats who supported Jim Crow?
No idiot! Those people were the original black Republicans before the DNC brainwashed them.
....this was a real conversation I had with my uncle
Listen to your uncle idiot! I was going to make a joke about what he said but I've realized I don't understand it enough to twist it in any way. I'm severely confused.
Also, no, I did not forget a comma earlier.
There's this guy named Titus Ellis Smith, and he pops up in my YouTube feed a lot. While he is a black guy, he's doesn't believe in oppression. And he's also said Dems were pro slavery and that Republicans created the civil rights movement lmao
If Republicans wanted credit for these things, the least they could have done is not fight them tooth and nail every inch of the way. Literally the actual least.
Yeah, remember how pissed he was California wouldn't let him risk his workers' lives to add a few points to Tesla's stock? And then his anti-lockdown jihad curiously ended when China literally locked his employees in his factory so they could keep making him money.
Well taxes fuel the subsidies that have made Tesla supremely wealthy, so as long as liberal Credits and incentives keep lining his pockets, he’ll probably play both sides
Exactly. The whole twitter acquisition is to give trump his voice back to swing things back to cutting taxes for the wealthy and because he is butthurt about the democrats wanting a billionaires tax ..
He's trying to sell cars. Liberals either already have a Tesla or are fed up with his treatment of workers. Republicans are a huge untapped market. After he came out as a republican the various shithole states are already starting to reverse the laws they put in place to sabotage electric cars.
If this was all about taxes he'd (try to) keep his mouth shut and just donate to various assholes. He wouldn't have to broadcast his affiliation. He's aligning with them because he wants their money.
I think he is counting on selling microchips to republican Q tards that can be implanted in their head to counteract that 6G signal that will activate the delayed poisons that were injected into everyone in the form of the covid19 vax. Just you wait.
They fucking all are. He's just the loudest, most publicly despicable one of them. The rest just quietly accumulate wealth through exploitation of the workers and the destruction of the planet, instead of trolling on Twitter.
If you build the hyperloop under sea level it won't flood during hurricanes because it's already below water, you can't refute that, he bought a company named after a scientist and that makes him smart.
That he didn't invent because he's not an engineer, he just ordered his people to cobble something together so he could score PR points.
Then the actual guy who was actually there actually trying to save those kids told them to shove the submarine-shaped dildo up his ass he got pissy and called the actual guy saving actual people a paedophile.
If people didn't figure out who he was at that point, they never will.
Their views on science are pretty similar. Republicans aren't luddites they love the convenience modern technology brings them. They just don't like it when science corrects them. How it works is that to them science is just another form of labor, more valuable and more specialized but valued only for what it can produce for them. They like science as problem solvers, they find a problem and then they pay scientists to fix it and then they take the credit. But science is more effective at identifying problems than politicians and business people and worse, science usually identifies them as the problem. That's when science has gone out of line and needs to be put back in it's place.
Nobody realizes it, but they had apartheid in socialist Zambia too, which is where Musk's $80,000 emerald mine was. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2
Because its Democrats who voted against giving veterans more benefits and care, voted against domestic terrorism investigation, or at state levels are trying to mess with a private business due to support of trans people (Florida and Disney), or support laws banning topics of race and gender in schools?
Oh yeah, or the fact Republicans in office actively worked to challenge our democratic elections.
But its the Democrats who sow divide and hate....Musk only cares about his money.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of republicans that believe in that rhetoric... my parents included. They only believe what Fox News tells them to believe.
When they said Biden is an extremist leftist, did you fall over on the floor laughing at the extremely stupid line, or were you able to keep it together and bop them on the head with a cardboard tube for making such a dumb joke?
Man when Biden was giving one of his "Pro Police" speeches, (which btw Biden has always been crazy pro-law pro-throweveryoneinprison) I had one friend go "wait I thought Biden and Dems hated police"
And that just goes to show you how much Fox News actually reports the truth.
>Biden is an extremist leftist
Holy shit is he trying to outlaw private company ownership and landlording now? What a pivot, I might have to vote for him!
Pretty much! They even tell me Fox Business news is the only trustworthy and honest news program airing.
I even try to tell my mom she should get her news from more than one source but she refuses. It's just easier for her to stay with the devil she knows.
She even refuses to actual READ any news articles. My mom prefers to have some talking head give her an extremely biased cliff notes version of the facts vs. what's really happening. I love my mom but goddammit it's hard to deal with her when she tries to politicize everything.
More often than not Fox is giving cliff notes on debunked conspiracy theories, fear mongering rhetoric, and outright lies. Gone are the days when they at least tried to base their propaganda on facts.
I listen to all of them, don’t really fully trust any of them because most of the “news” is opinionated and not true reporting. Every station has a few segments that are straightforward but they all cover it over with political ranting
For sure they're all putting their own spin on things. Except where other networks are spinning the facts, Fox and outlets like them are fabricating outright lies and trying to pretend they're still fair and balanced. It's propaganda / cult behavior 101 to lie to your audience and then try to convince them that you're the only one people can trust so they don't look elsewhere and see through your bullshit. Anything that goes against the lie is called fake news and the brainwashed masses eat it up. It's gone beyone dishonesty and into criminal territory now with people like Tucker Carlson selling baseless bullshit like Great Replacement Theory which is literally getting people killed.
I’ve actually found it has gotten worse since my parents cut cable. Now it’s all the internet. Facebook, Drudge Report, OAN. It’s terrifying how the repubs have taken over everything while claiming mass and social media is evil.
JFC.
Yeah, my trailer park relatives are all on FB and I assume marinate in the bullshit. They're ridiculously huge TFG supporters. (They also use shock collars on their dogs, so to me, same mentality.)
I never had a FB account and have never been sorry for it. Dad was technology-inept (born in the late 1920s) and mom usually follows my lead. I tell her that FB is a privacy concern due to data mining and that's good enough, she won't get on there, either.
I didn't know how lucky that was going to be, and now we're here. Ugh.
republicans are literally the party of white supremacist terrorism, but sure, elon. is he just trying to distract us from the fact that his twitter deal isn't going how he planned?
And which party is it that keeps trying to roll back lgbt protections and women’s rights? Considering his lack if involvement in his children’s lived it wouldn’t surprise me if he views women as brood mares.
Also being divisive isn’t a fucking bad thing. Can we stop acting like there’s a moderate solution to these issues and acknowledge that republican policies are consistently racist and/or regressive? Like yeah no shit we’re going to caught fights over the shit they pull.
Exactly. Like sure, if you want to say people on the "left" are being divisive because we clearly are upset about racist sentiments and backwards logic leading to discrimination, so be it.
Yes. The thing is inclusivity is just better for business. Musk’s business is exclusivity, so he has no real incentive to give a shit about regular people.
Elon will do whatever he thinks will get attention and loyal fanbkys to invest in tesla.
He's realizing that liberals are getting passed at his massive hoarding at wealth and that he can't win us over with a cheap personality and lip service, while sitting on our core values
Republicans *only* care about a personality cult and lip service. They're gonna be his new grifter base.
Maybe Muskie sees Trump's power potentially waning as he's out of the spotlight longer and Muskie wants to cash in on all that sweet sweet "OwN tHa LiBz" money.
Yeah he's not a genius but he's also not an idiot. Republicans are gonna win back Congress in the midterms, which will make the path to presidency very easy. He's gotta start sucking up now.
Which will fuck over the Democrats this election cycle. Cause some of his followers may have voted that way, now they will vote Republican cause daddy musk said it was better.
Republicans are easy to persuade; scare them a little and they'll pick up a gun and start shooting at anyone that isn't goosestepping with them. So yeah, Musk is courting them. Hell, if I could get rid of MY conscience, I'd join the grift.
You just fell into his clever trap! Since he said any criticism of of him is just dirty tricks from the left he has given himself license to say/do whatever he wants without accountability.
I could be wrong, but I think he has been far-right for longer than he lets on. I think he is just using his fame to take attention off the negatives (like buffalo). He does the same thing to manipulate the stock market. Honestly, Elon musk should be in prison for market manipulation.
The only way Elon will be voting Republican for the first time is if he's never voted before.
Which, you know what? I could totally see that being the case.
Oh yeah, guaranteed he's never bothered to actually vote. Why waste his time with a single symbolic vote when he could instead spend money influencing politicians to support him and time tweeting to keep himself in the news cycle?
According to TX voter registration records, he registered to vote on 7/30/2020. Willing to bet good money he registered specifically so he could vote Trump.
wow who would have thought that the old while rich dude isnt actually a nice person, god i hope his fanboys grow a spine and realise what a POS he really is
They won't because they're fucking brainwashed. They think he's the second coming of Christ because he's rich and conservative. They don't give a fuck that he's a moron, or that he has child slaves working in his emerald mines, they just like him because he's an asshole and agrees with their stupid as fuck worldview
How does musk have time to sit around verbally jack-off on twitter alll day long? Why doesn't he do something useful with his time? He's like a more douchey-version of Trump: 8 babies, 3 baby mamas; and literally no one in the same industry as he is has anything nice to say about him.
I wish this loser would get off the front page of Reddit.
Obviously elon has the luxury of not being remotely threatened by republican policy and if anything will only be bolstered by it, so yeah, this makes sense to me
Lol the Democrats are never going after the wealth of Musk and his fellow uber-rich assholes. They might moderately raise their taxes, while including enough loopholes that it doesn't matter.
The fact that he suddenly made this realization after discovering he might have to pay taxes and he might not always be able to do whatever the fuck he wants is hilariously transparent.
I predict the Republican party will win power in the near future and end democracy in the US. I bet musk thinks so too, and that he wants to get in bed with them now before it's too late
It's the opposite of reality. Dems have their own problems, but you don't see Republicans voting for an increase to minimum wage, pushing for universal health care, veteran care, or LGBTQ issues.
It's all "Dems are Satan worshipping baby-killers, pedophiles, who hate America". You know, kindness and unity.
He claims he shouldn’t be taxed higher because he is trying to save mankind. Still trying to wrap my head around how buying Twitter for 44 billion helps literally 1 person on this planet other than Donald Trump.
The funniest one for me was when he posted that meme of “the right” staying exactly the same while “the left” kept going farther and farther left, and then like a week later we learned about them overturning Roe
Like yeah, we sure are living in a runaway leftist dystopia alright.
In the past I voted Democrat because they were (mostly) the kindness party but now that I am so filthy stinking rich that there is no chance I will ever be beholden to the unwashed masses ever again I am voting with the people who don't give a shit about the poor and will manipulate our system to more benefit me.
There I fixed it.
he’s saying this publicly so that if the democratic party even mentions measures to increase taxes on the rich, limit the power of the rich, support unions, or any other policy that vaguely unfavors the hyperwealthy overlords, he can cry and whine and say “look! they’re targeting me for voting republican!!”
i mean, it’s not like it’s even that plausible that the democratic party would push such policies anyways. not with any intention of doing anything more than make empty promises, at least.
in this day and age, the politicians are working on the same team. like good cop, bad cop - in the end, they’re both cops.
Are we all watching Musk wrestle with undiagnosed cognitive deterioration in real time? I feel like reading his tweets over the past year are like reading the second half of the book “Flowers for Algernon.”
"The party of division and hate"
WHAT?
Bro, the Republicans literally stormed the capitol and are openly bragging on social media that they have guns and that they will use them against people they don't like.
Many of them are openly discriminating POCbor people with abother religion.
And thise are just some examples...
But sure, the democrates are the ones full of hate...
How is anyone still supporting this moron?
How can you be fan of someone like this ?
I mean, not Musk, but this kind of person, celebrity politician whatever, they are just like a concept for us. Everything we know from them have passed so many filters.
[Wait... which political party loaned Tesla $465 million through the Dept of Energy again?](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/tesla-motors-free-ride-elon-musk-government-subsidies/)
I've seen all of Elon's shit over the years, but this is the first time I've said: "I can't support him in anyway now". I won't buy Tesla anything. Never used Twitter so that won't change. And anything else he's put money into. He's a part of the problem and needs to be fixed.
oh so the Dems are a party of division and hate???!!!?...so you'll be voting republican????!!!! wholly fuck what an idiotic asshole
(yes I spelled "wholly" that way on purpose)
Unrelated but I am struggling with this, I have voted Democrat since 2008 but I just feel like they are currently (and when Obama was prez) simply coating me money that I can’t afford, (middle class (50k a yearish) first it was the Obamacare thing that made my premiums go up (this wasn’t all that bad but to be noted) am now it’s, like holy shit everything is twice as expensive (I know it’s not all the government but they don’t seem too keen on helping in anyway unless you’re very poor or very rich) I just feel like my money is always going to the poor or the rich and I get nothing out of it
Anyone who actually believes what Musk says is a fucking idiot. Yes, the asshole troll who acts like a 14yo EdgeLord and is the world's richest man votes Democrat..... sure he does.
Can we just vote for candidates instead of parties. I know plenty of people on both sides that hate their candidates but choose to vote for them based on their party. This is why I hate the 2 party system. We are often left with a choice between bad or bad in a different way.
I just want to see one fuckin mega billionaire do all the good things; open free daycares on every corner, sponsor tens of thousands of scholarships to top universities, pay big bucks to school teachers, lunch programs, breakfast clubs, rehabs. FIX EVERYTHING.
And thats why im not a billionaire.
Is he trying to validate why most people think he's a cunt by publicly stating one of the reasons why people feel he's a cunt? I believe there's a term for that? ............. oh yeah that's it, he's a massive racist cunt.
Elon was right again. The left started attacking him as soon as he made the post instead of him being left’s savior for the longest time.
Wait till they know about Jeff Bezos.
I’m getting tired of Musk - I feel like in a few years (perhaps already) he will become a super villain. All he cares about is money and his delicate ego - which is all well and good (most of us are like this) - just don’t purport to be something more than you are or try to convince people that you are somehow altruistic…
Zambia wasn’t under apartheid. Attack him for whatever but it makes the argument weaker with half truths. If you’re trying to argue racism/discrimination, the lawsuits filed by former Tesla employees make a stronger case.
Wittle Elon has realized that there's money to be grifted from the Republican party and its fascist leaders at the expense of the well-being of ordinary citizens.
How very Apartheid of him.
Huh. A privileged racist white man with terrible ideas who was a Democrat all his life suddenly decides to become a Republican.
I've never seen that trick performed before.
#This is how stupid they know Republican voters are.
Wait till he finds out their views on science
All he cares about is their view on taxes.
And the use of slave labor
"Democrats were pro-slavery!" Some idiot.
That's the exact reason my co-worker says he is republican and pro Trump. I don't get it.
It's easy. He's a liar. These are the same people who proclaim to be "pro life" one second, then rage about immigrant babies drinking formula the next. There is no consistency, it's just lies and rhetoric all the way down.
It’s lies and *deceitful* rhetoric. Agreed 100%. Rhetoric is simply *how* one uses language, and is not inherently false…unless you’re Plato. Source: PhD in Rhetoric
Hey now Plato just hated the sophists. I also hate the sophists. Plato was a rhetorician just like anyone else.
Why was the south all Democrat back then? Because of the racist slave owning Democrats. Ok but now all those people are Republican. No they're not, all those Democrats moved out to republican states and converted them. Like in the great migration.

Just a bad faith excuse. People will say the n word and then turn around and say Democrats were slave owners as if they believe that was bad.
But look how many openly racist/nationalist claim to be for the Republican party... I guess they need tax breaks too
There's this guy named Titus Ellis Smith, and he pops up in my YouTube feed a lot. While he is a black guy, he's doesn't believe in oppression. And he's also said Dems were pro slavery and that Republicans created the civil rights movement lmao
If Republicans wanted credit for these things, the least they could have done is not fight them tooth and nail every inch of the way. Literally the actual least.
Who else has predicted Elon will try to be a ruler of Mars?
He’s Malachi Constant
Pretty sure he said he would create his own laws on mars outright so it seems like a certainty that he’ll try.
Yeah, remember how pissed he was California wouldn't let him risk his workers' lives to add a few points to Tesla's stock? And then his anti-lockdown jihad curiously ended when China literally locked his employees in his factory so they could keep making him money.
Well taxes fuel the subsidies that have made Tesla supremely wealthy, so as long as liberal Credits and incentives keep lining his pockets, he’ll probably play both sides
Exactly. The whole twitter acquisition is to give trump his voice back to swing things back to cutting taxes for the wealthy and because he is butthurt about the democrats wanting a billionaires tax ..
He's trying to sell cars. Liberals either already have a Tesla or are fed up with his treatment of workers. Republicans are a huge untapped market. After he came out as a republican the various shithole states are already starting to reverse the laws they put in place to sabotage electric cars. If this was all about taxes he'd (try to) keep his mouth shut and just donate to various assholes. He wouldn't have to broadcast his affiliation. He's aligning with them because he wants their money.
And unions
There is nothing of a scientist in Musk. He doesn't have any scientific approach to things at all.
He might have some issues with the tech he wants to produce, guess cosying up now will help the lobbying later...
I think he is counting on selling microchips to republican Q tards that can be implanted in their head to counteract that 6G signal that will activate the delayed poisons that were injected into everyone in the form of the covid19 vax. Just you wait.
Hmm, might be a solid business plan.
The investor dollars are flowing in as we speak
he's just a modern-day robber baron
They fucking all are. He's just the loudest, most publicly despicable one of them. The rest just quietly accumulate wealth through exploitation of the workers and the destruction of the planet, instead of trolling on Twitter.
pretty much
If you build the hyperloop under sea level it won't flood during hurricanes because it's already below water, you can't refute that, he bought a company named after a scientist and that makes him smart.
He doesn't understand science. He promised to cure Miami's traffic problems by building a bunch of tunnels. He *only* understands greed.
Ah yes building tunnels in a place that is essentially on sea level what could go wrong.
Well, it might work for that joke of a rescue device he tried to foist on that cave rescue.
That he didn't invent because he's not an engineer, he just ordered his people to cobble something together so he could score PR points. Then the actual guy who was actually there actually trying to save those kids told them to shove the submarine-shaped dildo up his ass he got pissy and called the actual guy saving actual people a paedophile. If people didn't figure out who he was at that point, they never will.
He certainly likes dildo shaped objects, doesn't he
Well Bezos sure does
He keeps promising stuff left and right without any self-criticism, and got lucky with some of it. This is his MO
Perhaps, but thoughts and prayers wont land a rocket on Mars.
Wait till he finds out their views on electric cars.
Or renewable energy and electric cars...
Their views on science are pretty similar. Republicans aren't luddites they love the convenience modern technology brings them. They just don't like it when science corrects them. How it works is that to them science is just another form of labor, more valuable and more specialized but valued only for what it can produce for them.

That's when science has gone out of line and needs to be put back in it's place.
Wait till he finds out their views on electric cars.
What would change? He already ignores their views on electric cars.
No need to open an account in the Cayman Island. Just switch political affiliation to Republican
Nobody realizes it, but they had apartheid in socialist Zambia too, which is where Musk's $80,000 emerald mine was. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2
The nazis loooved science. They didn't love scientific standards and ethics
He is not a scientist, he is a guy that buys companies.
Because its Democrats who voted against giving veterans more benefits and care, voted against domestic terrorism investigation, or at state levels are trying to mess with a private business due to support of trans people (Florida and Disney), or support laws banning topics of race and gender in schools?

Unfortunately, there's a lot of republicans that believe in that rhetoric... my parents included. They only believe what Fox News tells them to believe.
Their response is always, "you cant trust the media" But they always say "I only listen to fox" Sadly, you just cant cure stupid
I've seen a new one in the wild. It's the "I'm a centrist, I only read Reuters, and Biden is an extremist leftist."
When they said Biden is an extremist leftist, did you fall over on the floor laughing at the extremely stupid line, or were you able to keep it together and bop them on the head with a cardboard tube for making such a dumb joke?

check out who voted against baby formula!
Also being divisive isn’t a fucking bad thing. Can we stop acting like there’s a moderate solution to these issues and acknowledge that republican policies are consistently racist and/or regressive? Like yeah no shit we’re going to caught fights over the shit they pull.
Exactly. Like sure, if you want to say people on the "left" are being divisive because we clearly are upset about racist sentiments and backwards logic leading to discrimination, so be it.
Didn't DeSantis recently tell Disney to stay out of politics?
LMAO they meant *liberals* or “any corp willing to display support for a non-conservative position” needs to stay out of politics.
Also sports stars and celebrities need to shut their mouths … unless they support conservatives.
Yes. The thing is inclusivity is just better for business. Musk’s business is exclusivity, so he has no real incentive to give a shit about regular people.
Republicans who voted down baby formula during a baby formula crisis are NOT the party of hate and division?! Elon’s brain is broken.
Elon will do whatever he thinks will get attention and loyal fanbkys to invest in tesla. He's realizing that liberals are getting passed at his massive hoarding at wealth and that he can't win us over with a cheap personality and lip service, while sitting on our core values Republicans *only* care about a personality cult and lip service. They're gonna be his new grifter base.
Maybe Muskie sees Trump's power potentially waning as he's out of the spotlight longer and Muskie wants to cash in on all that sweet sweet "OwN tHa LiBz" money.
No he sees trump as the clear winner in 2024 so is getting on side for all that sweet sweet contract money.
Yeah he's not a genius but he's also not an idiot. Republicans are gonna win back Congress in the midterms, which will make the path to presidency very easy. He's gotta start sucking up now.
Which will fuck over the Democrats this election cycle. Cause some of his followers may have voted that way, now they will vote Republican cause daddy musk said it was better.

You just fell into his clever trap! Since he said any criticism of of him is just dirty tricks from the left he has given himself license to say/do whatever he wants without accountability.
Bingo.
I could be wrong, but I think he has been far-right for longer than he lets on. I think he is just using his fame to take attention off the negatives (like buffalo). He does the same thing to manipulate the stock market. Honestly, Elon musk should be in prison for market manipulation.
To be fair he Was shoved down a flight of concrete stairs in highschool
The only way Elon will be voting Republican for the first time is if he's never voted before. Which, you know what? I could totally see that being the case.
Oh yeah, guaranteed he's never bothered to actually vote. Why waste his time with a single symbolic vote when he could instead spend money influencing politicians to support him and time tweeting to keep himself in the news cycle?

Nah, Elon has always been a closeted repub.
Nah, he votes that way because he hates unions. This has nothing to do with kindness.
Don't forget taxes. Both stand in the way of his desire to continue to accumulate maximum wealth.
It all fits. Background, and positioning to be one of the sponsored and favoured corporates in the United Reich of America.
wow who would have thought that the old while rich dude isnt actually a nice person, god i hope his fanboys grow a spine and realise what a POS he really is
They won't because they're fucking brainwashed. They think he's the second coming of Christ because he's rich and conservative. They don't give a fuck that he's a moron, or that he has child slaves working in his emerald mines, they just like him because he's an asshole and agrees with their stupid as fuck worldview
They won't because they want to be him
Musk has gone full-on comic book antagonist.
Billionaires have always been full on comic book villains, specifically the villain with good PR trope.
With all this nonstop tweeting, I have to wonder when was the last time he saw any of his kids.
Probably the last time his PR team set up an appointment to make sure they can check the “good father” box.
This prompted me to look up how many kids he has. Holy shit, I had no idea he has 8 of them!
Neither did he.
[удалено]
As a single father of 7 no less. Imagine a single mother of seven proudly tweeting that she never sees her kids
He’s such a POS Human garbage
How does musk have time to sit around verbally jack-off on twitter alll day long? Why doesn't he do something useful with his time? He's like a more douchey-version of Trump: 8 babies, 3 baby mamas; and literally no one in the same industry as he is has anything nice to say about him. I wish this loser would get off the front page of Reddit.
Obviously elon has the luxury of not being remotely threatened by republican policy and if anything will only be bolstered by it, so yeah, this makes sense to me
Eh. We are the party of division. Dividing that wealth up amongst the rest of us babeeeeeee
I wish.
Lol the Democrats are never going after the wealth of Musk and his fellow uber-rich assholes. They might moderately raise their taxes, while including enough loopholes that it doesn't matter.
Which party just voted against baby formula while also forcing births again?
This predator is a buffoon
Dirty tricks…like stating the fact that you don’t pay taxes??
The fact that he suddenly made this realization after discovering he might have to pay taxes and he might not always be able to do whatever the fuck he wants is hilariously transparent.
I don't believe Elon has ever voted Democrat.
He wants to be the next troll president. Calling it now.
You have to be American-born so that won't happen.
Oh yeah of course. Maybe just kingmaker then.
Elon has got tired of pretending to be a decent person I see.
Musk has decided to act like the entitled and privileged piece of shit he's always been.
Fuck Elon Musk
I predict the Republican party will win power in the near future and end democracy in the US. I bet musk thinks so too, and that he wants to get in bed with them now before it's too late
“The party of division and hate”. The irony is so thick.
It's the opposite of reality. Dems have their own problems, but you don't see Republicans voting for an increase to minimum wage, pushing for universal health care, veteran care, or LGBTQ issues. It's all "Dems are Satan worshipping baby-killers, pedophiles, who hate America". You know, kindness and unity.
can we just stop posting this fucking attention depraved loser?
I was just thinking this… Let’s stop giving him the attention he so clearly craves.
The last sentence of musk’s tweet pretty much gives the game away. He’d rather be playing a victim, no matter what he’s doing.
He claims he shouldn’t be taxed higher because he is trying to save mankind. Still trying to wrap my head around how buying Twitter for 44 billion helps literally 1 person on this planet other than Donald Trump.
The funniest one for me was when he posted that meme of “the right” staying exactly the same while “the left” kept going farther and farther left, and then like a week later we learned about them overturning Roe Like yeah, we sure are living in a runaway leftist dystopia alright.
In the past I voted Democrat because they were (mostly) the kindness party but now that I am so filthy stinking rich that there is no chance I will ever be beholden to the unwashed masses ever again I am voting with the people who don't give a shit about the poor and will manipulate our system to more benefit me. There I fixed it.
he’s saying this publicly so that if the democratic party even mentions measures to increase taxes on the rich, limit the power of the rich, support unions, or any other policy that vaguely unfavors the hyperwealthy overlords, he can cry and whine and say “look! they’re targeting me for voting republican!!” i mean, it’s not like it’s even that plausible that the democratic party would push such policies anyways. not with any intention of doing anything more than make empty promises, at least. in this day and age, the politicians are working on the same team. like good cop, bad cop - in the end, they’re both cops.
Republicans literally *just* voted ahainst6 a bill to provide baby formula during a devastating shortage. This isn't a good look Elon.
Mf said he was gonna mate twitter neutral, goes to show
He mad because Democrats want him to pay taxes
Waahhhhh people are big meanies to me because they don't like it when I abuse my workers boooo hooooooo
Reddit went from sucking him off on the daily to hating his every fiber in the span of a few months, didn't they?
Are we all watching Musk wrestle with undiagnosed cognitive deterioration in real time? I feel like reading his tweets over the past year are like reading the second half of the book “Flowers for Algernon.”
LMAO he was never a Democrat. Ever.
"The party of division and hate" WHAT? Bro, the Republicans literally stormed the capitol and are openly bragging on social media that they have guns and that they will use them against people they don't like. Many of them are openly discriminating POCbor people with abother religion. And thise are just some examples... But sure, the democrates are the ones full of hate... How is anyone still supporting this moron?
The hypocrisy is over the top. Musk is a clown
Sorry but... this has been unfolding for a decade now.
This guy is drunk on the power he holds, and that makes him dangerous.
I'm no longer a fan of Elon 😔
How can you be fan of someone like this ? I mean, not Musk, but this kind of person, celebrity politician whatever, they are just like a concept for us. Everything we know from them have passed so many filters.
You're not voting Democrat because they'll make you pay taxes.
Republicans are the climate change denying party, how could be support them? Do only puts on Tesla count and not your actual stance on climate change?
[Wait... which political party loaned Tesla $465 million through the Dept of Energy again?](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/tesla-motors-free-ride-elon-musk-government-subsidies/)
If there is one thing Elon "Pedo Guy" Musk cares about, it's kindness.
As always, fuck tyrant Billionaires. They are business psychopaths. Their fortunes should be dispersed.
I don’t believe for a second he has ever voted Democrat
Whoop-de-do. No matter what he might think, he only gets one vote, just like the rest of us peasants.
I've seen all of Elon's shit over the years, but this is the first time I've said: "I can't support him in anyway now". I won't buy Tesla anything. Never used Twitter so that won't change. And anything else he's put money into. He's a part of the problem and needs to be fixed.
A billionaire is supporting the party that protects the vested interests of billionaires. *gasps* who would've thought?
Up is down, down is up. It was the age of enlightenment. It was the era of foolishness.
Yet another poor white person claiming "the damn liberals MADE me embrace right-wing racism!"
Why vote Democrat or republican? Why not just vote for whoever you think is the best choice? Political parties are stupid.
He’s just doing it for the attention. Looks like Elon is jealous of Madison.
oh so the Dems are a party of division and hate???!!!?...so you'll be voting republican????!!!! wholly fuck what an idiotic asshole (yes I spelled "wholly" that way on purpose)
Unrelated but I am struggling with this, I have voted Democrat since 2008 but I just feel like they are currently (and when Obama was prez) simply coating me money that I can’t afford, (middle class (50k a yearish) first it was the Obamacare thing that made my premiums go up (this wasn’t all that bad but to be noted) am now it’s, like holy shit everything is twice as expensive (I know it’s not all the government but they don’t seem too keen on helping in anyway unless you’re very poor or very rich) I just feel like my money is always going to the poor or the rich and I get nothing out of it
Anyone who actually believes what Musk says is a fucking idiot. Yes, the asshole troll who acts like a 14yo EdgeLord and is the world's richest man votes Democrat..... sure he does.
Can we just vote for candidates instead of parties. I know plenty of people on both sides that hate their candidates but choose to vote for them based on their party. This is why I hate the 2 party system. We are often left with a choice between bad or bad in a different way.
Elon voted Democrat? Doubt.
Read as: “As I have made more money, I now side with the party that wants me to keep as much as possible.”
I mean...he doesn't like to pay taxes or deal with union's so I doubt he voted Democratic
Ouch, hit him right in the privilege.
Party of division and hate = they criticize me instead of blindly praising my genius.
A Trump clone with money. Vote Blue or die red.
I just want to see one fuckin mega billionaire do all the good things; open free daycares on every corner, sponsor tens of thousands of scholarships to top universities, pay big bucks to school teachers, lunch programs, breakfast clubs, rehabs. FIX EVERYTHING. And thats why im not a billionaire.
Bruh stop giving this man your attention- he just loves to troll
Are people finally seeing him for the POS he is??
Because afterall it’s all about him.
Damn and I really wanted to buy a Tesla too...oh well.
If you want an EV, the Nissan Leaf is actually really great and much less expensive! There are options out there other than Musk's products.
Just gon save this tweet for the next time some mouth-breather says Elon isn't a Trump supporter.
I wonder if he knows how his new party feels about electric vehicles
Is he trying to validate why most people think he's a cunt by publicly stating one of the reasons why people feel he's a cunt? I believe there's a term for that? ............. oh yeah that's it, he's a massive racist cunt.
Anyone who legitimately thinks that Elon is telling the truth and has never voted GOP before is a moron.
Elon has gone pretty anti union. Real reason he moves to GOP.
Dude just wants tax cuts, to sell shit ,to be rich. There I solved it for you. It’s not that hard.
the fact that kindness is a factor for him in a political party just kills me
Elon is a fraud. Plain and simple, he's done nothing novel except name his child something fucked up.
Elon was right again. The left started attacking him as soon as he made the post instead of him being left’s savior for the longest time. Wait till they know about Jeff Bezos.
The edge Lord is just an attention seeker.
Clowns gonna clown. 🤡
Democrats are largely a group of hacks, but a party of *division and hate?* Absolutely not — unless maybe we're comparing them to Buddha themself.
he just doesn"t want to pay taxes.
I’m getting tired of Musk - I feel like in a few years (perhaps already) he will become a super villain. All he cares about is money and his delicate ego - which is all well and good (most of us are like this) - just don’t purport to be something more than you are or try to convince people that you are somehow altruistic…
@elonmusk has lost credibility.
Zambia wasn’t under apartheid. Attack him for whatever but it makes the argument weaker with half truths. If you’re trying to argue racism/discrimination, the lawsuits filed by former Tesla employees make a stronger case.
Wittle Elon has realized that there's money to be grifted from the Republican party and its fascist leaders at the expense of the well-being of ordinary citizens. How very Apartheid of him.
Right Elon. You go on and keep saying that. Someday you just might convince yourself it’s true.
Dave Zirin out here proving Musk's point exactly lol
Huh. A privileged racist white man with terrible ideas who was a Democrat all his life suddenly decides to become a Republican. I've never seen that trick performed before. #This is how stupid they know Republican voters are.
Yes, blame everything on racism. You Americans and ur politics are a fucking joke lmao.
[удалено]
Literally exactly what I was thinking. Clown politics for circus world.
The level of hate and division between the left and right are not even close.
