Elon is a drug-abuser, pervert and white nationalist who should not have this much say in our government. Or anything else for that matter.
Stephen Miller almost exclusively toils in weird Nazi-like shit, so I'm assuming this money went to arm white nationalist malitias or some crazy Q-anon fuckery.
He is Drumps Goebbel's.
Shorter: Melon Husk has been a fascist for a while.
Already known news: musk is a fascists white supremacist
While I've known that for a while, a lot of the press was in utter denial months after he gave this money, as with this NYT article dated December 10, 2022
It’s pretty pathetic how much the NYT shills for conservatives. They were big cheerleaders for the 2003 Iraq War. Conservatives whine about liberal media even though it doesn’t exist.
It does. Depending upon how you use the term. If you use it in modern slang vernacular. Then no. There is no liberal media. But if you use the term as it's historically been used. Nearly all media including conservative media are liberal media. Where liberal means economic liberalism / capitalism. Their problem with the liberal media is. The liberal media does whatever sells. It will happily sell the truth or a lie. But only whichever one sells most. And thus authoritarians cannot count on it to constantly push their lies and rhetoric.
This guy really is just a dumpster fire that runs on burning cash.
He also has like a dozen kids with different people and he’s a giant piece of shit.
I'd put a sizeable wager on him still being a virgin if not for daddy's money.
I remember getting screamed at by his fanbois when I tried to explain that he wasn’t actually an engineer, and was a shitty lying piece of filth.
Then he fired his PR team and it all came out.
(Edit, a small but important word. Seriously new-phone autocorrect sucks.)
I remember getting screamed at by his fanbois when I tried to explain that he was actually an engineer, and was a shitty lying piece of filth.
I thought his fanbois are trying to convince everyone that he is an engineer? They took issue with this? What do they claim he is then?
Sorry, auto incorrect struck again.
He’s not an engineer. The degree he has wasn’t one he earned through course work, and he doesn’t understand basic engineering principles.
You can see that in the cyber truck which was his baby and fucked to hell.
Or the stupid mini-sub for the Thai soccer team that was trapped in the cave.
Don’t even get me started on hyperloop.
He wasn’t a founder at Tesla, be bought his way in during their first majorly round of funding and then sued for the right to be called a “founder”.
The real engineers at his companies try very desperately to keep him away from their shit.
Ah, ok. Yeah, that's been my experience with his fans, too. They think he's some kind of super whiz kid and get annoyed when I ask for credible evidence of this...well, more evidence than Worthington's Law anyway. And, seriously, when it comes to the likes of dimbulb donnie and melon husk, Worthington's Law is all the fanbois have.
It's been obvious for a while but people all over have no problem giving him money to fund Nazi causes. I live in a sold blue state and see at least a couple cyber trucks whenever I drive somewhere. I'd estimate 1 out of every 8 cars around here are a Tesla. Like WTF people... If you're a giant MAGA supporter I get it, but if you're a Democrat then you're sending the wrong message.
Yep. The minute I learned who he was, my plans to buy anything from that douche were nixed. No way I'm driving around with a vehicle that broadcasts a message like that. Might as well slap one of those dumb red hats on my head, but in this case, people know that I've given money to a warped cause.
This is my conundrum. My Tesla is paid off, it's hardly worth what it was, it costs me basically nothing to drive thousands of miles (cheap electricity here)...but I hate that it has a Musk affiliation. I feel like I can't go anywhere without people judging which sucks.
But financially at this point it really doesn't make sense to get rid of it and get something else. I might as well drive it until it dies. Despite avoiding driving it because I don't want to be seen in it, I guess.
Slap an anti-Musk bumper sticker on it. That would be enough to switch me from judging to thinking you are cool.
Okay, if you're giving to those guys you're 100% a fascist loon.
Billionaires and big businesses often do bipartisan ~~bribes~~ donations to make sure the laws enacted or struck down are in favor.
Even if they didn't do it directly, they're going to do the whole shell game so noone knows it's them. Not to mention going through a lawyer to pay your bribes to all manner of people like porn stars and other people you've raped, wronged or who just have dirt on you.
In a world of superpacs political donations are coming from big donors way above and beyond legal campaign ~~bribe~~ donation limits.
Slimy mollusk
Not the least surprising given the weirdo that he is.
