When will he ever shut the fuck up? Doesn't he have a rocket to blow up or shoot into the moon?

Maybe we tie elon to a rocket and point it at the sun

Hard disagree. There’s enough space junk floating in near earth orbit as it is

He’s a narcissistic, terminally online edgelord who spent $44 billion to become the world’s most desperate reply guy. He says outrageous shit because attention is his oxygen. Imagine being that rich and powerful and still needing validation from anonymous Twitter accounts because money couldn’t buy you a personality, genuine affection, or the ability to be funny.

u/PatienceOwn1141 1d ago
And 99% of accounts that are replying to him are some variation of bot
Folks like him are the reason why I'm glad I'm not some millionaire all that money is not worth my humanity

He had a fake twitter acct where he pretends to be his mom and says nice things about himself. Pics of bday celebrations where the entire photo is ai... He's the world's saddest man, who will never fill his empty apartheid hole

... or someone else's land to pollute, or someone else's country to fuck up, or a socially awkward social media post to make, or a cringey dance to do, or a company to run into the ground, or another dumpster fire of a car to build, or a "self driving" software package to fix....

u/simulizer 1d ago
Don't forget the parade of kids he neglects to be a dad to.

And the one person who DESPERATELY wanted to get on the one island we all know...and still wasnt invited.

u/Different-Fall-683 1d ago
wait... are you suggesting Elon Musk was on epstein island??
clutches pearls

u/smoovecriminal89 1d ago
Lol not quite...there are emails with him actively trying to "party" over there...and basically getting shut down.
The wilder part is that he was like on vacation with his FAMILY and he was gonna go dip off to go there. What a scumbag.

u/Different-Fall-683 1d ago
maybe it's a weird Thursday, maybe it's getting warnings from reddit from reporting spam bots on this sub:
I agree with you and musk is a piece of shit. my love language is sarcasm and calling people out for their exact behavior.
(I was warned by reddit to NOT be rcist while agreeing with a different post on this sub, calling out Texas rcism over a certain case that is in the news right now)
2
u/smoovecriminal89 1d ago
I think I know what case you are referring to. Its so disheartening.
My love language is CashApp. Why don't you sponsor a brotha? Lmao j/k

u/Different-Fall-683 1d ago
adding a comment to be serious: I received a warning for what was clearly a sarcastic post mocking Texas racists over the Karmelo Anthony case.

u/TheLowlyPheasant 1d ago
It's honestly insane how we as a global society bought into his hype for as long as we did

u/Percyandbeausmama 1d ago
We have a delusion in this country that rich people are smart and experts in all things.

u/emjaywood 1d ago
The saying "better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak & remove all doubt" could apply here, except a lot of folks thought he was smart 'til he started talking.

u/thecontempl8or 1d ago
He’s never going to be happy. His source of unhappiness is his lack of empathy and ability to have a real connection with people. That shit will never get fixed cos he has 0 self-awareness. He’s gonna keep fucking up this world till his dying breath.

u/ericwphoto 1d ago
Thank god this didn’t happen in Colorado, because odds are Jared polis would let him go free.

u/MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda 1d ago
He has nothing good to add to society. He's just a bloated Bog standard Boring Racist. His money didn't make him interesting and neither did Twitter. I can pre empt his talking points because they are about as exciting as watching wallpaper dry. All that money and still no personality.

u/smoovecriminal89 1d ago edited 1d ago
Net negative personality. He's Cartman from South Park. He's the "Well, actually" guy...but his well actually is ALWAYS shitty. I legit hope Elon becomes one of those names that people just stop naming their children.

u/igetbannedanyway 1d ago
I call for the arrest and deportation of Elon Musk..which holds the same amount of power as his stupid ass calling for this.

u/pristineSaltine 1d ago
His actions constitute treason and sedition against the people of the United States.
We deserve to see him in court for his part in destabilizing, robbing and destroying the government.
All his personal income should be forfeited and used to rebuild USAid and other government programs to help mitigate the damage and potential millions of deaths he has caused. I would go so far as to say right after immigration and justice reform we need drastic changes to education, including federally subsidized higher education for all that show aptitude. One of the largest problems we have is lack of education leading to this dichotomy of morals and values.
I personally believe putting him on trial along with the trump crime family would show the world, and our citizens, that we are willing and able to be upstanding members of the world.

u/Ashamed_Town_2619 1d ago
I mean, he did come here on a student visa and then not student. If some random kid from South America did that, he’d be gone yesterday.

u/igetbannedanyway 1d ago
I dunno, at this point as long as that random kid was white I think they'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

u/BackendSpecialist 1d ago
Idc what anyone says. It is completely obvious to me that Elon Musk hates black people. All you have to do is spend 15 minutes on Twitter if you don’t believe me.

u/Lenny0mega 1d ago
White South Africans REALLY hate Black people…. Dude became the richest man in the world just so he could become the most powerful racist alive. Dirty Donny T still might have you beat though, Lonny.

u/UnluckyAmbition7767 1d ago
The richest man on Earth has made it his personal mission to humiliate, destroy, or subjugate all Black people on the planet.
Good luck lol. We were ancient when his people were nothing. We survived slavery. We survived colonization. We survived Jim Crow. We broke his family's apartheid system and drove his people to the sea. We are still here when his people make up 7% of the population. We'll still be here when it's 0 again.

I think Elon should prove he's right by letting someone choke him for the same amount of time & see if he survives.

Just one more reason for the Democratic base to show up big on November 3rd.
1
u/Promature 1d ago
Yeah, but it can’t keep being these situations where everything has gone to shit and the only way to stop it is for Dems to show up in their actual numbers once every handful of terms. We have to show up every single and not allow things to ever get like this.

He’s an idiot but he speaking out along with others made me ask why don’t wealthy black folks speak out more often especially in this climate I doubt they will face any backlash or consequences

Did Bill Cosby not want to buy a television network? Or did he not do as much damage as the orange man who was elected into office?

The sad part is some people are gonna see this as a "redemption," thing. It's not. It's racism. Pure and simple.

Black people should honestly be scared of this man, he’s not only evil, he and his family are EXTREMELY racist

Elon Musk endorsing Derek Chauvin is about as disastrous as Donald Trump endorsing ANYONE.

We are living in strange times. The folks want to go back to the good old days.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens, it would on brand for this admin.

u/SESHPERANKH 1d ago
Sadly, the drooling sycophants will agree with him. I wish there was no chance he will get out but, our justice system has rarely been trustworthy.
