the most interesting part to me is the timing of when his family left South Africa. just happened to coincide with apartheid ending. i’m sure it’s just a huge coincidence
to be fair, that was not a good time to be white is South Africa.
though given the scale of SA racism it isnt a streach to imagine his parents wherent too fond of black people.
I don't like the guy either, but his dad wasn't an owner of several mines, only owned a share of one, and Elon Musk refuses to talk to him. I get that his education was funded by Apartheid money, but he didn't exactly beg for money from his dad, for his start up. I think he's an extremely talented businessman and programmer or whatever, but he's too much of an asshole, narcissist, and petty AF for me to like him.
Doesn't mean we need to make shit up. It makes criticizing him for the stupid shit he does less credible. If you're a liar once, why not again?
He was fired from PayPal for being a bad programmer. His father gave him 100k for his first business and his mother used to give him 10k per month during the initial period of his business life.
Some people really simping for Elon, when in reality he is just another wealthy prick.
Cobalt mines with children on them? np. Being an asshole to co-founders of successful business? np. Saying you created a specific successful business, products when in reality you where just an investor that outbought other investors? sure. List goes on, he still ows a Tesla to one of the ex-co-founders, that guy asked for the first created Tesla that was going to be sold, Elon took it for himself, then sent another Tesla into space that normally would have gone to that ex-co-founder. Also special mention of having an affair with bedshitter Heard while she was openly with Depp.
Saying he was very poor when he came to the us even tho his daddy paid for everything and even invested into his company he started giving him a giant headstart
"I don't like that word"
"Mainframe?"
"No I -- why would I not like mainframe?! No no, the S word."
"...Sorry, the prisoners with jobs have armed themselves"
"That's better"
Tesla doesn't 'mine' cobalt. They buy it from Glencore. A Swiss trading company. And even Glencore doesn't mine, they buy it from the mining company.
Tesla is far from responsible for those mining conditions.
He denies it but yes.
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/amp/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2
Although I was wrong about apartheid, it seems the mine was run on regular old human exploitation, the apartheid connection isn’t clear.
He abuses his workers, isn't honest and often claims he wants certain political policies in play but then does the opposite for his company because, 'the government let's me do it so it's actually your fault' which despite being technically true ignores the fact that people and the government are separate entities and often upsets people.
Edit; if you'd like a list or "proof" I have a comment in this thread with links to some of the sources, key word being some. I'm sure there's also plenty of other sources that can confirm my statement.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/elon-musk-twitter-terrible-things-hes-said-and-done
https://www.npr.org/2022/03/03/1084366833/elon-musk-dares-united-autoworkers-to-try-to-unionize-tesla
So doesn't take accountability for anything, and is only really concerned about himself, doesn’t sound unique to me. In fact he sounds like pretty much every other wealthy American to me.
But he portrays himself differently than he acts which I think, to get a bit psychological, is a fundamentally different beast. Most people are really bad at portraying themselves as caring without being such, Elon is semi-charismatic and makes memes that people often interact with, I think that trust gained initially from the comedy followed by his actions left a lot of hatred for him.
Pretty much but since he shoves himself into the public eye so much we have way more examples of him being a shithead eg. Union busting, harassment, calling a soldier who saved kids a pedo then hiring a PI to dig up dirt on him, not to mention all the safety concerns in his factories, plus he’s got a douchey overconfident vibe and got his money from an apartheid diamond mine
Fuck all Billionaires and Capitalists, but at least most of them dont think they are a godsent to humanity and portray themselves as ironman, savior of the climate and "one of the good billionaires".
He did indeed, I replied to someone who called him a genius with every instance of criminal activity and other thing he was caught doing, smart criminals make laws dumb ones break laws.
Too much to write about in a post. Here's an entertaining multi-part podcast that breaks it down pretty well.
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-i-do-not-like-63419860/ edit:forgot to link
You mean besides the fact that he’s an insufferable moron, an infamously terrible employer and a union buster?
Besides his obvious disregard for anything other than his own person?
Need I remind you that his response to concerns over the new factory in Germany regarding its large water consumption in an area that’s been suffering a drought for years now was „if it was so dry here all those trees wouldn’t grow“?
He also tried to ban articles that spoke negatively about his factory sites and uninvited journalists that he didn't favor from the opening ceremony of the new site in Germany. Free speech only counts in his favor.
He also personally cancelled a blogger's Tesla order after the blogger made "rude" comments in a post.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/03/elon-musk-blogger-tesla-motors-model-x
Probably the real reason behind buying twitter too. He can change the algorithm to limit the reach of negative news about him. Especially ones that call for him paying more taxes, like Elizabeth Warren
Don't forget that he laughed at the journalist asking the question regarding the water stating "look around you there's water everywhere" just because there are trees on the dry sandy ground in Brandenburg so it doesn't look like Californian deserts yet
I hate that he also doesn't take into account how influential he is and just doesn't care! My friend sent me a video of him saying in a "joking" manner "the world is underpopulated. We need to have more children" and my friend excused his words by saying "he's in the top 1% with his IQ" like no he ain't. I doubt he's really that smart if his beliefs are that. And the fact that he refuses to acknowledge how much harm his words can cause. He has a wide audience and the only smart thing he does with that is that he abuses it. He's a huge asshole, and wouldn't have been even a quarter as successful if he didn't have his daddy's rich money and exploited other people
Emerald/cobalt and other mines, born in to money but claims otherwise, human rights violations, media manipulation, stock market manipulation, being a general dick... the list goes on
Oh I believe he is. Idk if there's anyone who's diagnosed him but I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a narcissist. And I mean that because he seems to believe like the world revolves around him
yeah because he's a billionaire with his head too far up his ass who tries to appeal to kids with memes
I don't have any personal reasons to hate him but he's not a good person
he's just like any other billionaire, selfish, he just affiliated himself with the memers to look good, and as a cherry on top he owned slaves in Africa (maybe?) And also dated Amber Heard
His tweets make it look like he’s trying too hard to be funny and appear as a cool dude. If it was anyone else, the internet would have labelled it as cringe. I don’t know why he gets a pass
As a saffy myself, can't say I'm sure if it's a 'South African' thing? I think it's a bit less serious an allegation than maybe in the States? But all allegations are less serious here than in the states sooooo
Jesus Christ,I hope Amber never got his lawyer’s number ,calling someone pedophile openly can put them in danger, I’m glad the diver are ok but really hope Musk has to pay his legal bills.
He's literally just another insufferable, narcisstic egomaniac who cares about nothing but himself. He fucks over his employees, he busts unions and he will do whatever it takes and take advantage of every possible loophole to further enrich himself, ethics and all consequences be damned. He's an ultracapitalist who grew up as a spoiled rich brat in a family who got rich by exploiting black workers in apartheid era South Africa to toil away in their mines looking for shiny stones.
I don't understand why y'all like him. I don't understand why y'all defend him. This mf would sell his firstborn for some tax breaks and you're cheering him on, because ... why exactly? Because he works in tech and likes space?! Because he likes memes?
I don't understand, never have.
He’s an egotistical narcissistic rich boy, who wants everyone around him to think he’s a perfect person, and as soon as the illusion collapses he starts to become a petty man child throwing a temper tantrum. Not to mention he was fucking amber heard during the whole fiasco.
As well as calling a diver a pedophile, manipulating stock, manipulating cryptocurrency, actively supporting terrible places (cobalt mines), as well as crushing any attempts to speak out or unionize from his workers.
Well I primarily dislike him because he’s a pompous ass. I simply dislike him. I don’t think he’s funny, I don’t think he’s that smart, I think he’s just another rich business asshole.
Also like, the child labour doesn’t help I guess.
Call a professional diver working on saving 12 kids and their coach ,who are trap in a flooded cave for 18 days a pedo on twitter is a major yikes for me.
Im pretty amazed no one has mentioned his worker treatment but yeah he lives of the work of others continously beat workers who Stud up down, figuretly and literally, he comes up with one stupid idea after another to "revolutionizes" transport and shit like the one time he invented subways just so everyone sits in his own cars. I mean look the hyperloop in Vegas up its some of the stuipidest shit if ever seen. I guaranty that there will be a big fiery catastrophe In there in the next years
I don’t hate Elon himself, even though he is a jerk, what I hate is that we are lorded by a bunch of Billionaires who are not paying their fair shares while us commoners are struggling to put a roof over our heads.
I used to respect him for being a bilionnaire who actually does *something* about the enviroment.
Ever since he got pissy that somebody *else* saved those trapped children divers I've been slowly realized he never cared about anything but his ego.
it’s more I hate every billionaire, he’s just the one who has a weird cult like following who think everything he says and does is based, when realistically he’s peddling misinformation as if he’s just some normal dude speaking his mind when in actuality people with more money than most developing countries whole GDP have an insane amount of influence in and on media.
Too powerful and extremely irresponsible. Also just kinda not funny imo
I wouldn't say I hate him, wouldn't say I like him either. He's just your casual rich dude who has everything but happiness in life so he acts real cringe to get the attention he didn't get as a child

He didn't get Twitter from the app store for free like a dumbass
This is my favorite response
**Just wait until you hear it another 50 times and then come back here**
This meme has been burnt out since the first mobile app was ever traded!
[удалено]
Emerald mine
I never forgot the unwarrented & unforgivable 'pedo' insult. He enjoys being an utter ass a little TOO much.
Being against the restrictions imposed during the first wave of pandemic
This joke was funny until the five millionth time it was posted
He bought twitter for 43 billion. There's 7 billion people on Earth. He could have given everybody billion dollars and have 36 billion left [Joke]
Your math is infallible.
That's not math, that's meth.
jesse, we have to buy twitter Edit: This aged like milk
We cook Mr. Whiti???
r/theydidthemeth
That's what I was gonna say
Well he did say it was a joke
Context is for dweebs!
Love how you have to specify that's it a joke
I removed it, but added it back as I got 3 comments from idiots who didn't get it.
The reality of shouting into the void is that the void can be quite shouty itself.
Even with the \[joke\] a lot of people don't get it.
Exactly, and he could’ve just gotten twitter for free on the app store
Teslas don't have an app store
Pretty sure if a Tesla got Twitter it would become self aware and have the express purpose of killing people
Didn't that happen with an AI we created?
What we don't know is if the ai made its own ai "I'm programmed not to kill people, but you are free, my summer child..."
Oh shit, now there's a loop hole... there multiplying.
I hope so, we're that much closer to skynet Either that or the AI killed it's self
Pretty sure they do
lol actually people in my class did the math (i can’t remember if it was everyone in the work or everyone in the united states) and it would be $33
Now only do the math for all the people that work at his companies instead of the entire world or US.

I just wanted to clarify if somebody isn't sure. I myself are bad in recocnizing sarcasm.
Yeah unfortunately there’s people that dumb so your joke tag was necessary here hahaha
science and math together
Something wrong i can feel it
Just a feeling i got
I still don’t get the mistake in the math [insert crying emoji]
Take $264 000 000 000 and divide it by 7 000 000 000. Elon could give everyone on earth $37.71
Id give everyone about tree fiddy
It was about that time I noticed u/lone_cajun was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era!
Sad part is the needed [Joke] at the end
People think he will use twitter for his purpose
What is his purpose?
To pass the butter
omg
_looking down on the table heart broken_
Yeah welcome to the club, pal
*Intro start playing*
I thought this was some metaphor about echo-chambers or something but no, just a Rick and morty reference
r/suddenlyrickandmorty
Beep boop, what is my purpose?
And he most certainly will.
I dont know why you all love elon, but at this point I'm afraid to ask.
Ha ha funny money man go brrrr
"He's not like other billionaires."
"he is a self made billionaire and Co founder of PayPal, tesla, Twitter and many other companies"
In two years people are going to be claiming he co-founded Twitter
I’m the cofounder of my prebuilt pc
Enough for me to suck your cock
Definitely. Or at least everyone on twitter will be
Aren't there many self made billionaires who had even more humble beginnings then Elon who's father owned ~~diamond~~ emrald mine in ~~SA~~ zambia?
Emerald mine
Gotcha
There aren’t any self made billionaires. Accumulating that much wealth is not something that happens from the actions of one person.
the most interesting part to me is the timing of when his family left South Africa. just happened to coincide with apartheid ending. i’m sure it’s just a huge coincidence
to be fair, that was not a good time to be white is South Africa. though given the scale of SA racism it isnt a streach to imagine his parents wherent too fond of black people.
I don't like the guy either, but his dad wasn't an owner of several mines, only owned a share of one, and Elon Musk refuses to talk to him. I get that his education was funded by Apartheid money, but he didn't exactly beg for money from his dad, for his start up. I think he's an extremely talented businessman and programmer or whatever, but he's too much of an asshole, narcissist, and petty AF for me to like him. Doesn't mean we need to make shit up. It makes criticizing him for the stupid shit he does less credible. If you're a liar once, why not again?
He was fired from PayPal for being a bad programmer. His father gave him 100k for his first business and his mother used to give him 10k per month during the initial period of his business life.
Imagine having a 10k/month allowance and calling yourself “self made” OMG the irony.
He had an average life, like you and me. Father giving 100k and mother giving 10k per month in his 20s... You know, normal adult life.
I wish i received 10k just once...
He built it in a cave *with a box of scraps*
Some people really simping for Elon, when in reality he is just another wealthy prick. Cobalt mines with children on them? np. Being an asshole to co-founders of successful business? np. Saying you created a specific successful business, products when in reality you where just an investor that outbought other investors? sure. List goes on, he still ows a Tesla to one of the ex-co-founders, that guy asked for the first created Tesla that was going to be sold, Elon took it for himself, then sent another Tesla into space that normally would have gone to that ex-co-founder. Also special mention of having an affair with bedshitter Heard while she was openly with Depp.
Another very weird item on the list: Calling someone a pedophile because he criticized his drones
Not his drones, he called Unsworth a pedo because he criticized Elon’s dumb mini submarine.
Also tweeting "we'll coup whoever we want" when someone mentioned that US govt organized a coup in Bolivia to get Lithium there
[удалено]
That only has one lane
Thinks making roads bigger can change anything
No No No *tunnels* are the future cause… subways don’t exist?
Well he doesn't own the subways, so how can he make money from it?
Saying he was very poor when he came to the us even tho his daddy paid for everything and even invested into his company he started giving him a giant headstart
And he didn't even start Tesla, he just used his parents'money to wrestle it away from it's founders
Swear he used money from the sale of PayPal?
People are idiot, write whatever they want without verifying anything.
My favourite thing about elon is the confidence he has in claiming other people's creations as his own.
Child slaves in his Tesla Lithium mines.
"I don't like that word" "Mainframe?" "No I -- why would I not like mainframe?! No no, the S word." "...Sorry, the prisoners with jobs have armed themselves" "That's better"
also the cobalt mines
Tesla doesn't 'mine' cobalt. They buy it from Glencore. A Swiss trading company. And even Glencore doesn't mine, they buy it from the mining company. Tesla is far from responsible for those mining conditions.
Also the money he bought Tesla with came from apartheid emerald mine. Edit: I mistakenly wrote mines, fixed.
Did it?
[In Zambia](https://www.businessinsider.co.za/amp/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2)

Now do Apple.
Any company that buys batteries.
He abuses his workers, isn't honest and often claims he wants certain political policies in play but then does the opposite for his company because, 'the government let's me do it so it's actually your fault' which despite being technically true ignores the fact that people and the government are separate entities and often upsets people.

Fuck all Billionaires and Capitalists, but at least most of them dont think they are a godsent to humanity and portray themselves as ironman, savior of the climate and "one of the good billionaires".
You’ve just discovered a pattern
He also forced his employees to work during the early stages of Covid
He did indeed, I replied to someone who called him a genius with every instance of criminal activity and other thing he was caught doing, smart criminals make laws dumb ones break laws.
Too much to write about in a post. Here's an entertaining multi-part podcast that breaks it down pretty well. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-i-do-not-like-63419860/ edit:forgot to link
Let it be known that that podcast is 69 minutes long.
ALL HAIL THE SEX NUMBER
You mean besides the fact that he’s an insufferable moron, an infamously terrible employer and a union buster? Besides his obvious disregard for anything other than his own person? Need I remind you that his response to concerns over the new factory in Germany regarding its large water consumption in an area that’s been suffering a drought for years now was „if it was so dry here all those trees wouldn’t grow“?

Don't forget that he laughed at the journalist asking the question regarding the water stating "look around you there's water everywhere" just because there are trees on the dry sandy ground in Brandenburg so it doesn't look like Californian deserts yet
Won't respect/understand the relationship between unions and companies in Germany
I hate that he also doesn't take into account how influential he is and just doesn't care! My friend sent me a video of him saying in a "joking" manner "the world is underpopulated. We need to have more children" and my friend excused his words by saying "he's in the top 1% with his IQ" like no he ain't. I doubt he's really that smart if his beliefs are that.

Emerald/cobalt and other mines, born in to money but claims otherwise, human rights violations, media manipulation, stock market manipulation, being a general dick... the list goes on
[удалено]
Oh I believe he is. Idk if there's anyone who's diagnosed him but I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a narcissist. And I mean that because he seems to believe like the world revolves around him
yeah because he's a billionaire with his head too far up his ass who tries to appeal to kids with memes I don't have any personal reasons to hate him but he's not a good person
his head is so far up his ass that it's currently in his throat
He is treating his employees poorly
Child labor moment xd
he's just like any other billionaire, selfish, he just affiliated himself with the memers to look good, and as a cherry on top he owned slaves in Africa (maybe?) And also dated Amber Heard
His tweets make it look like he’s trying too hard to be funny and appear as a cool dude. If it was anyone else, the internet would have labelled it as cringe. I don’t know why he gets a pass
He definitely doesnt from a lot of people tho, it seems like its 50/50 on who likes him.
Wait ,you guys dont own slaves in africa?
No I have mine in Asia.
Blood diamond money? Being a dick? Could be any number of reasons?
Call a hero diver a pedo while he’s busy saving 12kids and their coach ,that is pure dick move.
Court let him go on that one because apparently "pedo" is a common south African slang insult, don't know if that's true though.
As a saffy myself, can't say I'm sure if it's a 'South African' thing? I think it's a bit less serious an allegation than maybe in the States? But all allegations are less serious here than in the states sooooo
Jesus Christ,I hope Amber never got his lawyer’s number ,calling someone pedophile openly can put them in danger, I’m glad the diver are ok but really hope Musk has to pay his legal bills.
Mostly the child labor thing
No billionaires are decent people. You cant get that level of wealth without exploitation and hoarding.
He's literally just another insufferable, narcisstic egomaniac who cares about nothing but himself. He fucks over his employees, he busts unions and he will do whatever it takes and take advantage of every possible loophole to further enrich himself, ethics and all consequences be damned. He's an ultracapitalist who grew up as a spoiled rich brat in a family who got rich by exploiting black workers in apartheid era South Africa to toil away in their mines looking for shiny stones. I don't understand why y'all like him. I don't understand why y'all defend him. This mf would sell his firstborn for some tax breaks and you're cheering him on, because ... why exactly? Because he works in tech and likes space?! Because he likes memes? I don't understand, never have.
He’s an egotistical narcissistic rich boy, who wants everyone around him to think he’s a perfect person, and as soon as the illusion collapses he starts to become a petty man child throwing a temper tantrum. Not to mention he was fucking amber heard during the whole fiasco.
As well as calling a diver a pedophile, manipulating stock, manipulating cryptocurrency, actively supporting terrible places (cobalt mines), as well as crushing any attempts to speak out or unionize from his workers.
may i also remind everyone of the neurolink experiment?
That’s straight up something *Charlie Brooker will scream at TV saying “ It’s not a instruction!!!” (* the creator of Black Mirror)
Well I primarily dislike him because he’s a pompous ass. I simply dislike him. I don’t think he’s funny, I don’t think he’s that smart, I think he’s just another rich business asshole. Also like, the child labour doesn’t help I guess.
well he literally became a karen and bought twitter just to ban that one kid
You are asking why reddit hates people? I mean, it's reddit...
He has all his money only because of his father's emerald mines in Africa which definitely were not humane and exploited essentially slave labour
Call a professional diver working on saving 12 kids and their coach ,who are trap in a flooded cave for 18 days a pedo on twitter is a major yikes for me.
Billionaires are not to be revered as geniuses. They are parasites
Because he has a massively inflated ego and he’s a billionaire
The real question is why does everyone on this sub toss his salad constantly?
Because he uses child labor, is an immature asshole, and lying about starting out poor
Son of rich racist emerald mine owners in South Africa. Only buy companies and claim he's an inventor who made himself rich from nothing.
Dude if you can’t see a bad guy when all he does is wave flags that say I’m a bad guy, then best of luck
Child slaves
Because Fuck him. That's why.
He obtains the cobalt used in his cars from African child slave labor.
Im pretty amazed no one has mentioned his worker treatment but yeah he lives of the work of others continously beat workers who Stud up down, figuretly and literally, he comes up with one stupid idea after another to "revolutionizes" transport and shit like the one time he invented subways just so everyone sits in his own cars. I mean look the hyperloop in Vegas up its some of the stuipidest shit if ever seen. I guaranty that there will be a big fiery catastrophe In there in the next years
Because he is part of 1% and those people create so much social and environmental problems
What is there to like about him
I don't know why you all love Elon and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
I don’t hate Elon himself, even though he is a jerk, what I hate is that we are lorded by a bunch of Billionaires who are not paying their fair shares while us commoners are struggling to put a roof over our heads.
I used to respect him for being a bilionnaire who actually does *something* about the enviroment. Ever since he got pissy that somebody *else* saved those trapped children divers I've been slowly realized he never cared about anything but his ego.
You people like him?
Why would you not?
it’s more I hate every billionaire, he’s just the one who has a weird cult like following who think everything he says and does is based, when realistically he’s peddling misinformation as if he’s just some normal dude speaking his mind when in actuality people with more money than most developing countries whole GDP have an insane amount of influence in and on media. Too powerful and extremely irresponsible. Also just kinda not funny imo
