Maybe his politics are complicated. Did y’all consider that? That a white South African industrialist who dabbles in eugenics, treats employees like shit, and thinks catturd2 is funny might be a complex enigma?
It's spelled 'enema'
It’s so mysteriass
And he's the multibillionaire that actually wants to put microchips into people's heads unlike Bill Gates who's checks notes actually trying to cure malaria? (He's probably still not a saint though, every billionaire is part of the problem.)
Bill Gates has strong enough ties to Epstein that his wife divorced him and left their charitable foundation they started together. So idk man, he's not so great either
Yeah, that's what I said. But Musk is literally doing supervillian shit while Gates seems to be at least trying to do some good to outweigh the bad. Still, billionaires are a cancer to a planet. I just find it ironic that Gates has become this demonic figure for something he never did and what Musk is literally trying to do with no one batting an eye.
Gates is a demon for fucking over the public education system. It's not eugenics level bad, but definitely a level somewhere in Dante's inferno.
What did he do to public education?
Lots, like the trend to make micro schools inside larger schools. So instead of hiring more teachers to drive down class sizes, you do the opposite and hire more admins. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/10/the-plot-against-public-education-111630/

Did you consider that you might not have the deep insight of a guy in a k-hole who spent 44 billion dollars to run a successful social media company into the ground?
Hey that was most likely a deliberate attack against journalism around the world so give him some credit
https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/09/tweet-and-be-killed-c/
The Saudis backing him knowing he'd fuck twitter up was almost definitely deliberate. Musk himself fucking it up was likely just his ego and idiocy and not actually deliberate on his part
Idk man, he was pretty pissed about that Jet Tracker. I think he also felt like he could better pump Tesla stock with whatever dregs were left of Twitter
I get that, but the reason I think its incompetence is because he has a pretty fragile ego and the way he destroyed twitter makes him look INCREDIBLY stupid
"It's complicated". Nah, not really. An egomaniac, rich asshole took refuge in the right wing safe space because they kiss his ass and call him a genius. But they still won't buy his electric cars.
Send this fucker to Orania along with all his supporters and enablers and burn the goddamn whole town to the ground. The world and South Africans would cheer.
