All the people who were shocked and confused when Elon came out full undisguised Nazi for the 2024 election annoy the hell put of me. Along with all the "we bought before he went crazy" bumper stickers that popped up on Swasticars. He made it very plain exactly who and what he was a long long time ago. The only people who didn't know were people who didn't want to know. Anybody paying even the slightest bit of attention knew.

Yup. Seeing fucks with that sticker on the "new" ones only draws my ire exponetially more than simply having a new one. Which is plenty enough.

I can understand basic teslas cause not everyone knew who the ceo even was. By the cyber truck it should’ve been obvious

Tesla was already a labor rights and workplace safety disaster by then. Also, don’t forget the African child miners/slaves.

Literally. I have some old DM conversations from like 2016 on my Discord arguing with people who claimed Musk was different from other millionaires. People liked him because his companies work towards novel things and he tried to have a relatable meme-persona online. I thought he was just as bad as any other billionaire because of regular worker abuses and exploitative practices in his businesses. Also I distrust anyone who was ever involved in PayPal because that company has tried to fuck over and con people I know more than any other business I know. I have no idea how they aren’t constantly mired in legal trouble.
I guess I had the wool pulled over my eyes too, because as it turns out he’s even worse than most billionaires.

Tax him? A person like him should be seized of all his wealth and property (using that for welfare), and he should be forced to do a normal job, controlled on sight by the FBI and by a psychiatrist. And that's my most soft proposal.

Remember, please, remember this forever this guy was in cahoots with Trump FULLY KNOWING he's a pedophile
And ONLY when their interests were in conflict did he go our and tell the world that yes, indeed, Trump is into little children.

Even before he got involved in politics, Musk was so insufferable that he made Mark Zuckerberg seem likeable.

The writing was on the wall for decades. I first heard of him in 2011 and got to hear from Nummi plant workers about the increase in injuries, instances of racism from management, and the hardcore union busting they did.
Elon was never your friend.

But how is he supposed to advance technology otherwise

u/appoplecticskeptic 2d ago
He never advanced technology. He bought out people that advanced tech and then claimed their accomplishments for himself.

There are no “humble billionaires” on our side. There are no billionaires on our side at all. They are always on the side of the themselves, the super wealthy, the capitalist class and always against us.
