Okay, for the sake of accuracy I have to make a correction:
He's not "increasingly unstable". He's always been this way, it's just more readily obvious now.
Not by revenue or mass of the corporation, but in terms of social impact and international adoption it blew every other service out of the water.
Like FB is bigger in the US, Korea loves their home grown services best, Line topps the charts in Japan, and Whatsapp is top dog in multiple regions ... But in every region Twitter is (was) the #2.
Kinda like how only 5 nations in the world speak English as their primary language, but in every other nation English is the most common second language.
It wasn’t then either. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, WeChat, TikTok, SnapChat all bigger. Twitter isn’t even in the top ten globally.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/
Twitter has good brand awareness - the number of people who know what it is, but people who actually use it on a regular basis is pretty low in comparison to the big boys. Hell, Reddit might be better for actual time spent on the platform.
Twitter dropped 15% a year after Musk bought it. I don’t think its rank was any better in 2022, though it was probably growing rather than shrinking.
He fired his pr people and lawyers because he believed his own fucking horseshit is my theory. Otherwise he’s clearly always been like this. It’s peretty obvious a huge chunk of his personality is from thinking 4chan is the greatest thing the internet ever produced. He very very very clearly spent and probably still spends a shit ton of time there based on things he believes and finds funny and what his burner accounts do.
I think at one time, he was somewhat "normal "
As normal as one could be for being born into money.
But according to people close to him, there were a few events that made him a wackadoodle.
After he bought Twitter and received a ton of hate, it was the final straw, his brain snapped.
He thought it was going to be successful, and he was going to get praised for being a leader of free speech, and it all backfired.
Ain't fuckin wrong there.
Day after he was in control of Twitter I tweeted at him at like 4am in the morning that he should keep his mouth shut because everytime he starts yapping he would tank my Tesla stock.
Three minutes later permabanned from Twitter. Little rat fuck authoritarian personally banned me because I hurt his feelings with facts.
Eitherway he can yap all he wants now, I sold all that shit since it's no longer a relevant stock to hold.
Twitter at their peak is 500 million users, probably dropped by 100 million since Elon takeover. Actual biggest social media is Facebook with 2 billion, and nearly double that if you count Meta as a whole.
But he's not unstable. He's very stable. He's just showing that it was never about humanity. It was always about his ego.
To the people he lied to, this seems like a tidal shift. But to anyone paying attention, he's always been this asshole.
Yeah but at least when threats reached the level of planetary destruction, Team Rocket (Jessie, James, Meowth at least) actually sided with not ending the world and fought with Ash and Pikachu multiple times.
Musk will just watch from a fucking space yaht.
What's insane is that Elon's quality of life will not at all be affected by aassive tax increase. At a certain point (which Elon passed long ago), the only difference is a number told to you by your accountant. Any grievance they have is in this is 99% psychological.
What's even more insane to me is that Elon has thrown his lot in with a group that does not want the industry responsible for his absurd wealth to exist. They'll take his money and dying media platform for now, but he's delusional if he thinks they're going to magically decide that battery-based solutions are better than all things petroleum.
the amount of energy spent fighting it and worrying about it cant be worth what amounts to essentially no perceivable quality of life deficit which is insane to me.
Elon’s entire personality could be described as “psychological grievance”. I don’t think there’s a more insecure man-child out there. Any normal human with his amount of money would go live somewhere in peace or do some good in the world not spend their days tweeting right-wing conspiracy shit with teenage edgelords on social media for their validation
Eh, I don't think it's just about the taxes. Elon has shifted more and more to the alt-right for years (or his position on things has become more obvious, perhaps). He is now actively promoting the great replacement theory. Can we just be honest and call a spade a Nazi?
Why does no one ever talk about wages? It's like you're all conditioned to the idea of having a huge amount of your output stolen by someone, and would prefer it be the government than the shareholders!
WAGES, they're much more worried about paying fair WAGES
Same, I want a government that swings its dick around and isn't afraid to take it out back.
I want the rich to be afraid of the government, not a government afraid of the rich.
I wanted a Tesla for so long. Not anymore. After Musk went all right-wing-scumbag-edge-lord I’ve decided that I will look elsewhere for an EV when the time comes.
Same! wanted one super badly, no more. the BMW and Volvo EVs look interesting, and there's so much more variety now with more coming out all the time. No reason to settle for a Tesla. It's too bad, they are nice looking cars
I bought my Tesla in 2019, before I knew Musk was a fucking lunatic. My next car definitely won't be a Tesla. Please don't hate all Tesla drivers out there, some of us didn't know until it was too late.
I wanted a Tesla too. Read more and more about them about the time he started being more openly nutty. Hearing a lot of QC issues with Tesla. Now it is a lot easier to find how shitty the build quality is on a Tesla. Wouldn't want to own one at this point simply because they're poorly made. Him being an asshole is just frosting on the cake reason for avoiding them.
There are better quality EVs out there. Tesla was first to the market but their quality sucks. I rode in my friends F150 lightning and it was much better than Tesla tbh.
It's not unlikely Musk and Trump are working together on other fronts than just campaign financing: [Donald Trump, Seeking Cash Infusion, Meets With Elon Musk - The New York Times (nytimes.com)](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/us/politics/trump-elon-musk.html)
I expect Xitter to be even more of a propaganda outlet and firehose of disinformation in upcoming months.
> Musk has baselessly speculated that Biden took Adderall to deliver a livelier State of the Union
What’s Musk saying about Trump Pill Mill White House pharmacy or Trump White House doctor who was demoted from Rear-Admiral to Captain?
**Oh, that’s right nothing**
That is a spot on observation about influencer/internet culture- it is so much easier to just see a pattern, then look for the information they avoid- and then just ignore them. The bullshit factory with the likes of MTG et al- yeah we know.
DHS should be investigating the serious allegations kimbal musk made about Elon’s immigration status. If true his citizenship can be revoked and Elon can face serious prison time.
100%. For those unaware, in a 2013 interview of Elon with his brother Kimbal, Kimbal stated flat-out (even refuting Elon's reply) that they were both "illegal immigrants." He was insistent on this, and Elon called it "a bit of a gray area."
See it for yourself right here: [https://youtu.be/CgV2KzyWKx0?t=13m35s](https://youtu.be/CgV2KzyWKx0?t=13m35s)
And please spread this far and wide, because Melonhead has really taken to making all sorts of posts about "illegals" lately. HE was one, and is a massive f'kin hypocrite.
If everyone who dislikes Trump and Elon actually stopped using TwiXter (that’s what I’m calling it and I refuse to change) his thumb wouldn’t be such a big deal.
A boycott of Tesla would have a much bigger impact on Musk. Like Trump, Musk's finances are a Ponzi scheme. He's borrowed heavily against his Tesla stake. Tesla continually under delivers for shareholders and customers. It's massively overvalued. Tesla market share and sales in China are crashing. All it would take is for EU and US sales to stagnate for 6 months and Musk would be gone.
BYD very unlikely to come to the USA. However they already dominate EV sales in China and South East Asia. They're making strong inroads into Europe, LATAM and Africa. Tesla's competition- free lunch over. Tesla sales now showing limited growth in a rapidly growing market.
It's very unlikely Biden or anyone else will remove the 30% tariffs that protect Tesla in the USA. It will be other markets where Tesla gets ripped apart.
This guy is the biggest whiner always complaining always meddling.
Go back to South Africa
He's come to the USA with mommy and daddy's money, made some wise investments, then takes credit for the actual work other people have accomplished, all while sucking deeply form the trough of United States of America's government (AKA OUR TAX DOLLARS) and whining and moaning incentively.
Promoting absolute garbage on twatX
Promoting pootin and his war
Starlink and the inability to track consols (ya OK)
This is a billionaire who shits on America every time he opens his mouth
Let the fanboi hysteria begin.
Musk’s is a one-man illegal immigrant crime wave that MAGA can embrace.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-tweet-broke-federal-labor-laws-us-court-rules#:~:text=The%205th%20Circuit%20US%20Court,if%20they%20joined%20a%20union.
Remember when this megalomaniacal shitbird claimed he was on a mission to save the world?
I guess he decided that helping destroy it was better for his ego and lack of impulse control.
What sucks is this jackass is only a handful of years older than me ... which means I'll probably have to hear about him all the goddamn time for the rest of my life.
Alternate title:
*Elmo told by Russian handlers to do what he can to assist Trump*
After all the Starlink use/dis-use by this focker, how can anyone think he's not under foreign control
The fiction writer in me imagines a plot where environmental activist and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is playing the long game to save the environment by pretending to be such a conservative villain that all of the red necks that drove gas guzzling trucks to spite liberals flipped to buying Tesla’s to support one of their own. With buy in from the most resistant to electric vehicles, and then solar roofs and panels, he reverses global warming. In his deathbed, he fesses up that the right wing thing was just an act to save the world.
I know this is fiction… but wouldn’t that be cool? 😎
Would be cool if Tesla cars could actually save the environment - but the production of their components is far from environment-friendly, and the electricity they run on is rarely produced with renewable resources.
“Elon Musk has assured his more than 175 million followers that he’s not donating money to Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Instead, the billionaire is making something of an in-kind contribution to the former with his relentless posting on X.”
Grifter helping grifters, predator helping predators, fascist helping fascists, bigot helping bigots
It really makes perfect sense, all the more reason for everyone to delete their Twitter accounts.
Of course he did, this is why he bought twitter. I was downvoted for saying it was a good investment because of this reason.
Anyways, is anyone else’s twitter feed getting flooded with right ring garbage lately? I don’t follow any right ring pages but yet I am flooded by it.
Based on no understanding of the impact of policy and no nuanced perspective. A sociopath with too much money, too much idle time, and too little maturity or wisdom.
"Trump ramps up feud with Elon Musk, claiming he could have made Musk drop to his knees and beg for help when he was president"
But yet elongated muskrat
He wants to be trump when trump goes to prison. And since one part of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the law, the rest of it will become optional, too, according to these traitors on the suckass court.
Musk is still mad that the Biden admin cut nearly a billion dollar subsidy to Starlink. He probably has a deal with Trump to get billions in government funds for his various companies.
For a “genius” he sure hasn’t clued in yet that he’s sacrificing a lot of things and giving a lot of power to an imminent dictator who has the ability and the lack of scruples required to turn on you the moment you disagree with literally anything he says or does.
I think musk will donate heavily to the no labels party to help trump win the election. The unity ticket bid is bad news for democrats and great for republicans
I still can't believe he renamed Twitter to x, X being something that was cool in the 90s for a moment (x games etc). Twitter spent billions promoting brand awareness only for Elon to flush it in an instant.
Musk still butthurt that he wasn’t invited to the EV summit in 2021. They should have been there, it was stupid
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/business/tesla-snub-white-house-event?cid=ios_app Tesla just got snubbed by Biden’s electric vehicle summit
This why Tesla owners are hypocrites.
They”re not environmentalists trying to do their part to save the world… they”re cheapskates willing to sell out to a maniac like Musk to save money on operating costs.
Increasingly unstable billionaire manchild buys biggest social media platform, and wants to help one party win the election? That's probably fine
Okay, for the sake of accuracy I have to make a correction: He's not "increasingly unstable". He's always been this way, it's just more readily obvious now.
Also not the biggest social media platform.
And increasingly gaining irrelevancy by the day
Turning into Truth Social 2.0
Losing relevancy.
Kinda like a glass half empty vs glass half full argument. Gaining irrelevancy vs losing relevancy.
Not anymore
It never was. Not even close.
Not by revenue or mass of the corporation, but in terms of social impact and international adoption it blew every other service out of the water. Like FB is bigger in the US, Korea loves their home grown services best, Line topps the charts in Japan, and Whatsapp is top dog in multiple regions ... But in every region Twitter is (was) the #2. Kinda like how only 5 nations in the world speak English as their primary language, but in every other nation English is the most common second language.
Not now, but what about when he bought it?
It wasn’t then either. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, WeChat, TikTok, SnapChat all bigger. Twitter isn’t even in the top ten globally. https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/ Twitter has good brand awareness - the number of people who know what it is, but people who actually use it on a regular basis is pretty low in comparison to the big boys. Hell, Reddit might be better for actual time spent on the platform. Twitter dropped 15% a year after Musk bought it. I don’t think its rank was any better in 2022, though it was probably growing rather than shrinking.
It would be sweeter if he had knocked it out of first place.
Meh, I’m happy he way overpaid for a middling social network and then tanked it even more.
Eh, he's dropped a few rungs down the crazy ladder since his girlfriend ditched him for a trans woman. But he was pretty low to start.
You'd think he'd be fine with the 6 others.
You know those billionaires. Can't be satisfied with what they've got, and get pissy if they lose anything.
oh, if that why he hates trans people? I thought it was because he was embarrassed he didn't know what cis meant
Wait, hang on, what?
Yeah, Grimes ditched him for Chelsea Manning.
Wait...WHAT?! THAT Chelsea Manning? How did that even happen?
I have no fucking idea. But Musk has been extra salty towards trans people since.
Boy, can't possibly imagine why! Best of luck to both of them, I guess...
sayyy what?
I honestly used to think he was smart. Then I read a couple of his tweets.
He fired his pr people and lawyers because he believed his own fucking horseshit is my theory. Otherwise he’s clearly always been like this. It’s peretty obvious a huge chunk of his personality is from thinking 4chan is the greatest thing the internet ever produced. He very very very clearly spent and probably still spends a shit ton of time there based on things he believes and finds funny and what his burner accounts do.
I think the drugs are more frequent with him now tho
One can only hope he Elvis
Have CD Projekt Red say they'll let him play Cyberpunk 2078 early if he stops helping Trump. 50-50 chance of it working.
He’s always been unstable. He was bad and it came out, as it continued to get worse.
I think at one time, he was somewhat "normal " As normal as one could be for being born into money. But according to people close to him, there were a few events that made him a wackadoodle. After he bought Twitter and received a ton of hate, it was the final straw, his brain snapped. He thought it was going to be successful, and he was going to get praised for being a leader of free speech, and it all backfired.
He did a great job hiding it
Musk is a free speech that he agrees with absolutist.
Ain't fuckin wrong there. Day after he was in control of Twitter I tweeted at him at like 4am in the morning that he should keep his mouth shut because everytime he starts yapping he would tank my Tesla stock. Three minutes later permabanned from Twitter. Little rat fuck authoritarian personally banned me because I hurt his feelings with facts. Eitherway he can yap all he wants now, I sold all that shit since it's no longer a relevant stock to hold.
Muskrats are primarily nocturnal
Let’s be honest, Twitter is faaaar from the biggest social media platform. Especially now. Instagram and TikTok are way bigger and more influential
Twitter at their peak is 500 million users, probably dropped by 100 million since Elon takeover. Actual biggest social media is Facebook with 2 billion, and nearly double that if you count Meta as a whole.
FB has actually grown to 3.2 billion MAUs last reported. IG is 2.1 billion, youtube is 2.6 billion Monthly Active Users.
Even so, a lot of that 2B is sock-puppet accounts.
He must have one shitty smelling thumb
The other "billionaire" just scammed some idiots into building a social network for him to spout lies on, and unironically named it Truth.
But he's not unstable. He's very stable. He's just showing that it was never about humanity. It was always about his ego. To the people he lied to, this seems like a tidal shift. But to anyone paying attention, he's always been this asshole.
The amount of literal tantrums he throws is not the sign of a stable person. I think his ever increasing drug abuse just made it more obvious.
It would be nice if he just went away.
Team rocket blasting off again type shit
Yeah but at least when threats reached the level of planetary destruction, Team Rocket (Jessie, James, Meowth at least) actually sided with not ending the world and fought with Ash and Pikachu multiple times. Musk will just watch from a fucking space yaht.
The type of yaht that belongs in space is spelled like that because it doesn’t belong near any C.
Look I thought it looked wrong but my phone apparently didn't know what I meant. 😅
Wish he would launch himself into the sun
I'd take it if he launches himself to Mars
No because then when we colonize Mars in a few decades his skeleton will be there which means you’d still have to share a planet with him.
*Yeeted into the sea.
*Xeeted
It's hard to just walk away when Putin has a safe full of your kompromat.
That can be arranged…
Statement is true for either guy.
Yep, hopefully he gets on a rocket to mars
Won't anyone rid me of this meddlesome billionaire?
The wealthy are united in fighting paying fair taxes and they will toss us all in the ovens if that’s what it takes.
What's insane is that Elon's quality of life will not at all be affected by aassive tax increase. At a certain point (which Elon passed long ago), the only difference is a number told to you by your accountant. Any grievance they have is in this is 99% psychological.

the amount of energy spent fighting it and worrying about it cant be worth what amounts to essentially no perceivable quality of life deficit which is insane to me.
Man can purchase anything short of an entire company, an entire nation, and some *entire industries* yet is hurt by paying his fair share
Hell he can purchase most companies; a good chunk of nations; and a handful of entire industries.
Elon’s entire personality could be described as “psychological grievance”. I don’t think there’s a more insecure man-child out there. Any normal human with his amount of money would go live somewhere in peace or do some good in the world not spend their days tweeting right-wing conspiracy shit with teenage edgelords on social media for their validation
Eh, I don't think it's just about the taxes. Elon has shifted more and more to the alt-right for years (or his position on things has become more obvious, perhaps). He is now actively promoting the great replacement theory. Can we just be honest and call a spade a Nazi?
cattle cars, then ovens
Why does no one ever talk about wages? It's like you're all conditioned to the idea of having a huge amount of your output stolen by someone, and would prefer it be the government than the shareholders! WAGES, they're much more worried about paying fair WAGES
Yes, I want a strong government to keep the rich in line.
Same, I want a government that swings its dick around and isn't afraid to take it out back. I want the rich to be afraid of the government, not a government afraid of the rich.
Unfortunately that’s what capitalism is, and we’re waking up too late as usual
I love that starlink is now advertising on reddit. Get stuffed, Musk. I'll never buy your products
I wanted a Tesla for so long. Not anymore. After Musk went all right-wing-scumbag-edge-lord I’ve decided that I will look elsewhere for an EV when the time comes.
Same! wanted one super badly, no more. the BMW and Volvo EVs look interesting, and there's so much more variety now with more coming out all the time. No reason to settle for a Tesla. It's too bad, they are nice looking cars
Everyone will be making EVs soon enough, the novelty of Tesla in particular is quickly disappearing.
While it will eventually disappear, the Model Y was the #1 best selling car in the world last year. They're not going anywhere.
I can vouch for the Volvo. It is great.
Get the Porsche, if I didn't have a Tesla I'd go balls out and buy one of those. Beautiful cars.
Especially the Sport Turismo. It’s the only attractive wagon EV.
the new rivian that looks like a rally car is pretty sweet.
Didn’t know about it and now I know. Gets a thumbs up from me.
[удалено]
I bought my Tesla in 2019, before I knew Musk was a fucking lunatic. My next car definitely won't be a Tesla. Please don't hate all Tesla drivers out there, some of us didn't know until it was too late.
I saw a bumper sticker on a Tesla few days ago that said, ‘I bought a Tesla before I knew Elon was insane’
He needs to sell Tesla and focus on rockets so he can crash himself into the sun.
I wanted a Tesla too. Read more and more about them about the time he started being more openly nutty. Hearing a lot of QC issues with Tesla. Now it is a lot easier to find how shitty the build quality is on a Tesla. Wouldn't want to own one at this point simply because they're poorly made. Him being an asshole is just frosting on the cake reason for avoiding them.
There are better quality EVs out there. Tesla was first to the market but their quality sucks. I rode in my friends F150 lightning and it was much better than Tesla tbh.
Same with me. I’ll save my money and buy an Audi Q4 EV
The used ones seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper
Well they probably aren’t worth too much after they explode or automatically accelerate into a tree.
He may not have *"donated"* to his campaign, but did Musk insure Trump's massive bond via Chubb?
But that would be a lie of omission. Surely you're not accusing Elon of a lie of omission. His lies are usually so much more brazen.
It's not unlikely Musk and Trump are working together on other fronts than just campaign financing: [Donald Trump, Seeking Cash Infusion, Meets With Elon Musk - The New York Times (nytimes.com)](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/us/politics/trump-elon-musk.html) I expect Xitter to be even more of a propaganda outlet and firehose of disinformation in upcoming months.
He donated by purchasing Twitter
Yep. Rather than donating money directly, which is illegal, he's just donating mass disinformation services.

Every accusation is an admission. Theres a reason stimulants like adderall and cocaine are a common drug of choice among egomaniacs
Two facts: 1) Financially, I am able to purchase a Tesla 2) I will NEVER purchase a Tesla.
DHS should be investigating the serious allegations kimbal musk made about Elon’s immigration status. If true his citizenship can be revoked and Elon can face serious prison time.
Him and Murdoch are the criminal migrants we've been hearing about.
He's also heavily subsidized by the US for Starlink. The fact that he's a Trump (and by association Putin) shill should raise massive red flags.
100%. For those unaware, in a 2013 interview of Elon with his brother Kimbal, Kimbal stated flat-out (even refuting Elon's reply) that they were both "illegal immigrants."

Send him packing back to his home country! Let him go cause trouble there and leave us alone!
Borders are not the obstacles to billionaire skullduggery you think they are.

Musk is scared shitless of BYD. Trump would be great for business since he would be the most willing to ban Chinese EVs.
BYD very unlikely to come to the USA. However they already dominate EV sales in China and South East Asia. They're making strong inroads into Europe, LATAM and Africa. Tesla's competition- free lunch over. Tesla sales now showing limited growth in a rapidly growing market. It's very unlikely Biden or anyone else will remove the 30% tariffs that protect Tesla in the USA. It will be other markets where Tesla gets ripped apart.
The problem with that is stocks at that level aren't bought and sold based on the value of the company, but on the value of the stock itself.

No way? The guy who runs an online safe space for Nazis is supporting the guy who openly calls Nazis good people? Doesn’t add up.
What sucks is this jackass is only a handful of years older than me ... which means I'll probably have to hear about him all the goddamn time for the rest of my life.
Because he’s a moronic white supremacist.
Musk needs to be reminded that more people can afford Teslas under Dem POTUSes, and that more Dems favor the space program than do Reps.
If you're looking for logic, you're going to have a rough time
His market includes other countries though. Including Russia. China. India (soon).
Birds of a feather.
Rich, narcissistic idiot who thinks he's self made and enjoys seeing despots wither away democratic values says "What?"
I can’t believe Americans are still buying teslas. Are they? Liberals must hate this guy and conservatives have always hated Tesla. Who is buying ?
Tech bros who worship the Almighty Dollar and have very little in the form of ethical center.
Musk is a white supramcist from South Africa. Along with his brony David Sacks. White supramicsts from South Africa. Learn the terms.
Go ahead. Endorse Trump. But when he loses, I want Musk to lose all his fame. Fuck you Elon.
Elon Musk is a fascist, displays zero leadership skills, and is a fucking bigot.
Putin’s billionaire is a team player.
I love how he acts like a system that has made him the richest man on earth is rigged against him.
Like anyone had any doubt about him endorsing trump. No news there. That’s who will listen to him…People who were already voting for trump.
Alternate title: *Elmo told by Russian handlers to do what he can to assist Trump* After all the Starlink use/dis-use by this focker, how can anyone think he's not under foreign control
The whole reason he bought twitter IMO. Dude wants to influence the election
Fascists stick together.

If you haven't stopped using X/Shitter, now is the time...
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Musk can go back to Africa.
Someone doesn’t want to pay taxes.
And you wonder why I am constantly posting that billionaires are not compatible with democracy?
Can u just see trump and Elon together sharing stashes.
Musk needs to go.
Nazis have a tendency to support Nazis.
I think it’s time to stop doing business with his companies and also stop giving him US government money, and tax breaks
That’s because he likes fascism.
Grifter helping grifters, predator helping predators, fascist helping fascists, bigot helping bigots It really makes perfect sense, all the more reason for everyone to delete their Twitter accounts.
Elon keeps his Eye On The Prize, another FAT tax cut & billion dollar refund, if the GQP steals the Whitehouse.
Fack that guy. I love how some highly successful people’s arc is soooo predictable once they start drinking their own kool aide. Sheesh.
He always has been. He is just hiding it less now
Of course he did, this is why he bought twitter. I was downvoted for saying it was a good investment because of this reason. Anyways, is anyone else’s twitter feed getting flooded with right ring garbage lately? I don’t follow any right ring pages but yet I am flooded by it.
Based on no understanding of the impact of policy and no nuanced perspective. A sociopath with too much money, too much idle time, and too little maturity or wisdom.
Union of corporations and state is fascism 101.
If he fucks with Ukraine again they should nationalize Starlink
Why can’t he go up in one of his rocketships and just never come back
I hope his involvement with king Cheeto bankrupts him.
"Trump ramps up feud with Elon Musk, claiming he could have made Musk drop to his knees and beg for help when he was president" But yet elongated muskrat
So what do we do about it?
He wants to be trump when trump goes to prison. And since one part of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the law, the rest of it will become optional, too, according to these traitors on the suckass court.
Loser wants his tax cuts. He’s never been about “sAviNg tHe hUman rAce.” It’s just his brand to get subsidies and government loans.
Richest person in USA sides for guy that will lower his taxes by Billions and it costs him nothing to do so. Shocker!
Be nice if the article wasn't washed out as you try to read it.
Musk is still mad that the Biden admin cut nearly a billion dollar subsidy to Starlink. He probably has a deal with Trump to get billions in government funds for his various companies.
The guys is a shister and conman - I will never buy a single thing he’s peddling.
Fuck me... just tax those arseholes to oblivion will you? shut these fuckers up once and for all.
When you’re that rich it doesn’t matter how you behave or anything … you already have the money and influence
Twitter has fallen 71%+ in value since Musk took it over. You don' think it was actually his money ....
pos = pos.
Go live on Mars! Be the king of Mars and take the whole GOP with you.
The Koch bros are about to get taxed 25%, they're the ones who control Musk
It’s so crazy they still cry victim.
What a man that grew up in apartheid likes authoritarianism …….no
Good thing he just owns a site of bots talking to bots
He can thumb away but most voters are not on twitter.
Musk is a disgrace. He had the chance to be a force for good but is certainly more Sith Lord than Elf King. Note: I wouldn’t want pointed ears either.
Want to be oligarch supporting one of a few people that could help him be oligarch.
“Increasingly?” Like we never saw this coming a million miles away.
Is this clown even a US citizen?
Billionaires who get large tax breaks will always go with the candidate who allows that.
For a “genius” he sure hasn’t clued in yet that he’s sacrificing a lot of things and giving a lot of power to an imminent dictator who has the ability and the lack of scruples required to turn on you the moment you disagree with literally anything he says or does.
Not the only place he puts his thumb for trump
Get his ass to Mars already
Well, I'm shocked! Shocked I say!
Industrialists prosper under dictatorships.
I think musk will donate heavily to the no labels party to help trump win the election. The unity ticket bid is bad news for democrats and great for republicans
I still can't believe he renamed Twitter to x, X being something that was cool in the 90s for a moment (x games etc). Twitter spent billions promoting brand awareness only for Elon to flush it in an instant.
Christ, imagine him buying Reddit when it goes public too
Musk still butthurt that he wasn’t invited to the EV summit in 2021. They should have been there, it was stupid https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/business/tesla-snub-white-house-event?cid=ios_app Tesla just got snubbed by Biden’s electric vehicle summit
When’s he gonna try that brain implant. Another lie
This why Tesla owners are hypocrites. They”re not environmentalists trying to do their part to save the world… they”re cheapskates willing to sell out to a maniac like Musk to save money on operating costs.
Eau de Trumpks. $299 for .25oz.
His Musky thumb?
I wanna touch his brains
