You know what's horrific and evil? Cutting Medicaid and social security for millions of people because your billions of dollars isn't enough money to make up for the fact that you're a giant man baby.

"Defending freedom" when we bomb ! Terrorism when they bomb us!

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can't even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being's life.

[–] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 69 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That would require empathy, which he considers a weakness. So he probably is genuinely baffled by this.

Has he even said 'Thank You' ONCE yet??? So ungrateful...

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And he's not wearing a suit either

It continues to amaze me just how many grown-ass adults have seemingly never moved beyond schoolyard-levels of maturity. This is like typical childhood bully stuff. And that's before we even get into these immature manbabies actually have real power over people...

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

I'm not even joking.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

So, I had to look it up, and first grade in the US is children that are 6 to 7 year olds. Which means that oddly enough, Donald seems to have told something true in his biography.

Personally i think the level of violence could be a little higher still... Or way higher! Burning megafactories levels of higher.

It would make my year if he cried live in an interview where it dawns on him that he's the cause of his own demise. But he's not smart enough.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He almost did actually. He was in an interview a little while ago where he was moments away from tears.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is step up the protest.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

That should be the course of action no matter if Musk is crying or not.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support

Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.

You know how they demolish bridges that have become unsafe to use?

Well... its the same with vehicles... 👀

Who knows how many lives these heroes have saved.

I'm still not convinced that isn't just insurance fraud to try to recoup some money for junky cars no one wants while pretending he's a political victim.

Does anyone else think the "happening in my town of (insert town name here)" is a bot account he set up to blow up small isolated incidents?

The best thing about this is that Tesla is massively overvalued. Like, the stock price is more than 20x what it should be based on Tesla's earnings.

If Tesla had a reasonable value, then hedge fund managers and other rich people would probably be buying it while it was temporarily down and getting rich as it went back up. But, with it so insanely overvalued, it's much more likely they'll short it or buy put options and hope to get rich when it finally crashes.

The funny thing is, he doesn't even feel it that much. His ownership of Tesla is peanuts compared to SpaceX, where the contracts with the government are. Just some food for taught 🤔

? ~60% of his wealth is estimated to be in Tesla shares

His net worth is definitely affected by Tesla shares declining

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

We brought him a little taste of civil war. He's just mad he's on the losing side.

I will say though, I've been suspicious he's had long standing plans to just dump Tesla at some point in the near future anyway. I'm hopeful the point he was planning to jump ship and sell off his stock has gotten beyond his control and he can't do it without majorly fucking himself over.

Aside from everything else he's done to get deeply involved in the oil and gas industry, what made me really suspicious was when DOGE removed all EV charging stations from federal buildings for not being "mission critical."
