Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Mayhem]

Elon Musk is not a nazi. I mean, would a nazi do something like this?:

Shit.

Yeah, I guess they would.

Okay besides the facts that he did a nazi salute, denies the holocaust, and continues to post and re-post nazi propaganda...what evidence is there that Elon Musk is a Nazi?

/s

Does he, I mean, does he know that he is a public sector worker?

A "special" public sector worker.

[PhaelixWW]

Does he, I mean, does he know that he is a public sector worker?

I doubt he thinks of himself in so pedestrian a term as "worker".

[Bwgmon]

I doubt he thinks of himself in so pedestrian a term as "worker".

It tracks with their mindsets: When things go wrong, it won't be Musk or Trump's fault, it'll be the fault of those pesky underlings who did whatever they said.

[Mayhem]

Well, I doubt there is generally much thought behind his bloodshot eyes, but even he must know that he is not the president.

I pray that Teslas continue to be vandalized, and that Tesla stock price keeps plummeting. Make Elon's edgy nazi shenanigans toxic to the brand.

It's a strange twist of fate, but I'm kind of upset now at Jack Dorsey who sold twitter to Elon Musk. Sure, it was really funny at first making Elon pay way more for twitter than it was actually worth, but it's not incorrect to say that Elon has successfully leveraged the purchase of the social media site to get his value back and then some. Musk's nazi-friendly moderation on X was very likely a big factor in helping get Trump elected. I'm sure back then most of us were certain that nazis being front and center for Trump would turn people off of Trump, but it only seemed to empower the worst of society, the ones who thought 2010's Republicans weren't racist enough to vote for.

Anyway, since Elmo leveraged his loans to buy twitter off of his Tesla stocks, if Tesla drops much lower his creditors might come knocking. Not only that but Tesla's board of directors might demand that Musk be removed, even if they don't have the votes to do so. But I'll cheer on anything that gets twitter out of Muskrat's hands AND bankrupts his dumb nazi business.

He didn't, though. He was out of Twitter at the time and only had a small (2%) stake in the company.

I kind of want to thank Elon Musk for interfering in British politics and indivertibly causing the current implosion of our Reform Party lol. Like its glorious to watch. The best thing Elon has done so far, thanks Elon fucking up our far right parties like you are fucking up your country

Oh well, Twitter forcing Elon to buy was a bad twist of fate. But either way, looking at forecasts Tesla is basically a dead brand in the EU, with over 90% of respondents in all EU countries saying they would never consider buying a Tesla now. Tesla is dead in China because China just straight up has better EVs, and China is starting to lap the US in terms of tech overall. While we're busy bowing down to oligarchs the Chinese are innovating and improving their quality of life. And while Tesla's future looks okay in America, it sales are down in 2024 from 2023, and it's expected Tesla sales will be down even more in 2025. If Tesla stock continues to drop, Elon's ownership over Twitter might be in jeopardy - and while the damage from the election is already done, getting him away from affecting public discourse and removing the Nazis from twitter will be an overall good thing.

We kind of had the same thing happen here in Canada because of Trump and his tariffs. The Conservative party was poised to win the next election "bigly" before Trump came along with his Tariff's...now they are losing ground.

Concerns Raised Over Employee Sick Leave Policies at Tesla Grünheide

This shit is illegal in Germany and most of Europe, not sure why Tesla can do as they do in the US.

I mean, they can't. This wouldn't even be the first time he's gotten in trouble for violating EU labor laws that don't exist in the US.

Yeah I know, for some reason I forgot part of what I was going to write.

Because he currently is winning at "money" and he's in charge of the US.
He thinks because he is running the US he can treat the rest of the world like "Hey Ash whatcha playing?"

And he thinks that he can just ignore the complaints until they go away. Which, uh, has not been working out in his favor at all so far.

To be fair, the EV market in North America just doesn't have the viability outside of those who live in major city centres that need a vehicle for short haul trips. The only reason they got pushed so hard and Tesla popularity ballooned is because of governments trying to force them on a market. Meanwhile your Joe blow Republican isn't going out and buying an F-150 Lightning unless they are an upper-middle class person who will pay 80k for a subpar truck.

Chinese EVs are still quite a ways off though, especially given how utterly dog shit they are for safety, especially with all the electrical fires they've been having. That's not saying much given how many Tesla vehicles have spontaneously combusted, but it's still a lot less than the Chinese EVs.

I do hope Tesla gets punished for trying to defraud the Canadian government of EV rebates though, I think it's time Elon gets knocked down several pegs.

I think a lot of that was due to just how disliked Trudeau was by people in general, both liberal and conservative. Heck, I voted for the guy in two federal elections and over time my opinions of him have soured greatly on multiple occasions as he has not looked out for the best interest of Canadians. But at least he wouldn't have sold us out to the US like Crypto Millhouse will. The polls are leaning towards a liberal minority government which might actually be beneficial to us if they can get a better leader running the Conservatives who understands economics and actually values Canadians. Maybe then we can get some policies out of the Liberals that will benefit all Canadians.

At a glance I couldn't find more recent numbers but in the years 20 and 21 Tesla sold about 1mio cars in the US, with more than a 1/3 alone in California. So if California decides to have enough with Musk and her current government, they could really fuck up Tesla.

So, Elon asked "Why is everyone hating on me?"

I wonder why Elon. Maybe the ability to self-reflect is needed here to understand why people have a problem with what you are doing now.

It's also telling that he has to add the "Physically" qualifier to "I've never ^ hurt anyone".

I'm sure that's true. Ol' Musky seems more like the type that would pay others to do his physical violence for him. And that's without even getting into all the hurt he's done to people in other ways.

Sometimes you gotta do what you need to do in order to protect yourself from the woke mind virus and the leftist cult:
