Why do you guys hate Elon Musk?

Post Reply New Topic

He buys out innovative companies and takes credit for the inventions and success of actual geniuses.
He ruthlessly and thoughtlessly fires employees by the droves with no concern about their financial situation, all for the sake of making more money that he'll never live long enough to spend.
Like Trump, he had posed as a liberal because it was fashionable, then eventually tore away the mask and revealed himself to be a fascist. He's since promoted hate on X, and endorsed a right wing German political party that has echoed Hitler.
He's thin skinned, calling the rescuer of trapped children in an Asian country a pedophile simply because he had rejected Musk's offer to help. He called a Danish astronaut a "ret*d" for contradicting him when he had falsely claimed the astronauts stranded on the space station had been left there for political reasons. He had hired Don Lemon, who he then immediately fired after Lemon called him on the mat for promoting racism on X.
He's demonizing and putting out of work hundreds of federal workers, using the lie that he had discovered theft and fraud committed by said workers, when in fact he is building a monetary source for new tax cuts for billionaires.
Need I go on?

Idk cause it seems like he's a mean and awful person who never learns anything.

Elin succeeded based on opportunities in USA, meaning the money is still belonging to USA. All his Tesla home projects will be sold to make him more money. As opposed to development initiatives in technology that bring recruitment and techno back to economy that allowed elons success.

Trump is correct in that it takes money to start a business, so I see why he wants rich investors but Elon is selfish, as richest guy if he cared then he'd help working class people, but he's an arrogant jerk.

^ Absolutely. I believe that's not uncommon amongst the self-proclaimed free speech absolutist population.

The man thinks he's a hero, but he's really everyone else's villain.

you have to leave some folks to the devil.

I'm very happy with what Elon Musk is doing so far as this kind of powerbroker of the Trump Admin. His priorities are far, far more based than those of the kinds of weirdos like Bill Gates and Mike Bloomberg that attach themselves to the upper echelons of the Democrats and acquire this kind of power. (I'm not happy with the kinds of power these kinds of billionaires wield in general at this level, but "it is what it is" and an immutable dynamic at this point, so "whatever", at this stage of the game)....

The Democrats though once they installed themselves back in power in 2021 had no problem outsourcing all powers over the vaccine and it's rollout and sticking people to Bill Gates, in a parallel of the kind of power, perhaps, that Elon has been granted with DOGE. Bill Gates is way more of a F-ing weirdo and psychopath than Elon, in my opinion, and the Democrats have and had no problem letting Gates be their guy in this sort of way.

I would say though if DOGE ultimately keeps it's mission to doing things like cutting the genuine government waste like the USAID that's been paying for crossdressing dancing shows in Finland and Ecuador, and ending this kind of "soft power," and the money gets returned with large cheques to actual US taxpayers; then the Democrats are going to be in a whole host of Trouble for the 2026 midterms and the mission of this will be incredible. On the other hand though, if all this is and was truly just like the old Heritage Foundation schemes back when the Republicans were the Controlled Opposition patsys and this is about going in there and cutting Social Security and getting grandmother's check and finally cutting this, then the Republicans are well and truly done and the Democrats will just get power back without even trying.
