Why do you guys hate Elon Musk?

Post Reply New Topic

The thing I don't like is that some people are very sensitive about things in speech and media that is even barely remotely associated with the "old" culture.

Oh my f***ing God. Do you really think I expect you to take my word for it? You can look up screenshots of the things he has said from antisemitic conspiracy theories to racial slurs to aggressive uses of the word ret*d.

The man is NOT well.

Such as?

As perplexity ai is telling there is no clinical diagnosis that Elon Musk is Asperger. I have found many lies in Musks sentences. To fire thousands of people just by an email shows that Musk is terrible unfair. He likes it very much to be in public. I don't know asperger's who really like to be in public. And he wasn't the founder of TESLA. This were two german engineers. The creator of model s was fisker. All TESLA models which performed well on the marked were variations of model s. The first desaster model was the cyber truck, a vision of Elon Musk. It would be really nice to test him in math, physics and knowledge of the blue planet. Is a individual intelligent, which is not knowing that the climate catastrophe is caused by humans and the way Musk is living? His kids will live in a terrible world. I was 16 when I read the book of the CLUB OF ROME about the future of earth. After finishing the book and after deep own investigation I decided to never have kids. I am engineer and I never would place somebody in an aircraft, when there is a 20% possibility that the plane will crash. But for the climate crash the possibility is more than 70%. Growth combined with the energy ideas of Trump and Musk will kill everything even faster. Is this intelligence?
It would be fine to get asperger answers on my post - only facts please - thanks.

No one cares about "Nazis", and what i will define is at-least this angle of trying to take Elon down with Nazi association, as National Socialism is now so distant in the past as an actual power that it now has no relevance to regular people that this stuff is trying to be sold to. It has as much relevance going and trying to scare people about card-carrying Nazis as it has going and trying to scare people about Zombies.

I don't see it that someone born in the 1990s and is now in their 30s in the 2020s, sees this as any kind of viable threat that there's some kind of Nazi army that's going to come and start marching and stomping around. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, on the other hand, I could see how the Establishment could and did make people crazy over every little thing they could relate to this, as the wounds were this fresh.


The problem I've had with the main thrust of the Anti-Trump narrative from the small-l liberal system and them calling all MAGA a cult and all of this, is that they themselves are not just "neutral" politicians running sensible sane politics from the centre, and they've been running their own crazy woke agendas and stuff like mass-immigration and Drag Queen Story Hour; but then they lose their s**t when normal people dare unite and start voting against them, and they start shrieking "what's going on," like they've just been sitting there as these innocent little lambs and it's just been Trump as some kind of bully that's arrived on the scene trying to get one up on them.

**Looks around the audience**

I suspect Musk is self diagnosed.
It's funny listening to his apologists who defend every Nazi salute, or every hateful post on X, and try to explain it away by saying: "Well, he's on the spectrum, so he has a special brain!"

I'm not sure it's even that thought out. It's something he says because he thinks it will get him off the hook. He's a billionaire, he could get the diagnosis if he wanted it.

But, if he's formally evaluated he might face the issue of being not diagnosed with autism. For a thin-skinned narcissist like Elon, it seems he'd rather trust his own expert opinion rather than risk being professionally evaluated but not receiving a formal diagnosis.

Unrelated, but:

I'm sure you're right.

Possibly, but given how he seems to operate, he'd probably doctor shop around for one that would say what he wanted to hear.

IMHO, he's more likely some combination of pscyhopath, narcissist and possibly some sort of low-grade schizophrenic. Not that I'm diagnosing anybody here.

Even in the best of cases, self-diagnoses are less than ideal, but none of the normal reasons for self-diagnosing seem to apply here. It's not like he couldn't hire a qualified professional to follow him around for a few weeks and watch to see what he's actually doing.

Serbia's social conservatives and nationalists absolutely put the Democrats little Saul Alinsky anti-Elon Musk "town Halls" to shame ! ! What's going on in the USA is completely fake and astroturfed and not any kind of "popular movement" against MAGA...... hahaha

Trump starts cutting social security, medicaid, medicare, and Obamacare, and you'll have demonstrations to put your precious Serbian nationalists to shame.
You do know this is the exact same political philosophy in Serbia that had led to the genocidal rampage that involved thousands of deaths, don't you? Why do you gloatingly use this as an example?
You never cared to answer my question. I'll ask it again: are you even on the spectrum?

[*] That everything remotely perceived as racist, sexist, whatever have you, is quite censored today, and this form of pathological altruism is squelching things so much that freedom of speech and expression is receding.
[*] Do you believe that something somebody has merely said in the past or even recently should be grounds to no longer have jobs or any means of livelihood? I strongly disagree, that goes with the point above. It's a pretty low bar for the kind of consequence.

My point is that anything even slightly nationalist/traditionalist or even just not "progressive" enough is compared to Nazis or fascism.

I'm not sure any of that is actually happening, but you're welcome to believe it regardless of a lack of evidence.
