AfD-loving Nazi.

I am man enough to admit I used to like Musk. Deadass. I remember long long ago in the past he supposed universal healthcare and universal basic income, anyone else?

I turned on him a bit after the diver shit when he wrongly called that guy a pedophile, but then 2020 did it in for me because HE DIDN'T SUPPORT ANDREW YANG! Andrew Yang was basically right about everything, let's be so for real.

Why did Musk not push his weight behind him. Imagine if he tossed the money he put into supporting cuckservatives into supporting Yang! We might actually be getting $1000 a month now WHICH WE SHOULD AS YANG WAS RIGHT!

Fuck this stupid, South African fraud. Deport him back to Cape Town.

I remember long long ago in the past he supposed universal healthcare and universal basic income, anyone else?

He used to have a PR team to help him with this shit.

But then at one point he fired them (probably because they'd told him one too many times that he shouldn't do Nazi salutes) and started making his own shitposts on Twitter (it was still Twitter back then), and that's when the world began to see the real Elon.

[-] redbrick@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

I wonder if it's because all this happened because he really couldn't contain himself anymore. Like really letting his freak-flag fly?

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago

He's an addict. If it's not ketamine, it's money or power, the same mechanisms work in all addictions, it takes a good deal of self delusion to go as far down the paths addicts go to excuse their behaviour. The more it feeds the delusion, the harder it is to crawl out of the hole it digs you

The diver pedophile situation was the big turning point for me. I wouldn't say I was a fan boy or anything, but I certainly didn't think he was the scum of the Earth. Then like a light switch, he because a shittier, more evil Montgomery Burns.

Makes Burns look pleasant to be honest.

First time I heard of him was a PBS video. Where they walked around his newly starter factory where electric cars were being developed. He was semi bald then. He was saying how he just wanted to make green cars. Needed investors.

Wanted to make fast and cheaper electric cars so everyone could stop using gas.

Found myself hoping he could make that happen. Seemed like a decent guy trying to do good.

What a lying sack of garbage.

[-] Superdooper@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

First time I heard of him was when sent a Tweet that he was going to build a grid scale battery in South Australia. That project actually happened and kickstarted many more grid scale batteries to be built. I thought all the criticism of him was coming from the fossil fuel industry but yeah turned he was actually a dick.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

It's entirely possible that he was a decent person at that time. There's a psychological term that escapes me, but the idea is the nearly every one of us will change given money and power, feel that rules no longer apply to us, feel that we're smarter than the hoi polloi.

Combine that with drugs and whatever delusions he already had, along with a sketchy family... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

He was born into generational wealth. His parents owned emerald mines. He was never a good person, and almost all his achievements were bought.

Fuck deportation. He deserves nothing less than full asset seizure and life in prison. Stop settling for a world that allows megalomaniacs to subvert democracy with lesser consequences than common thieves. These are the highest of crimes.

Fellow threat-to-humanity Sam Altman once said of him, "Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it".

[-] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Yup. I remember when people were calling him the IRL Bruce Wayne. Turns out he was Lex Luthor.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago

That's an insult to Lex. He's actually smart.

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

From the Seattle Science March in 2017. Nobody knew.

[-] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

I never did like him. I couldn't pinpoint why until he called that diver a pedo, but it started to be a little more clear around then.

Took half a billion dollars and just lit that shit on fire. Got worse than nothing for it: his folks lost pretty much all the ground.

He's a toxic fool. He's gotta get cut down to size: nationalize SpaceX, Starlink, and prosecute him for Doge.

[-] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago

500 million dollars could have fed so many starving people. 😞

[-] ride@piefed.social 11 points 5 days ago

Well, the question is, where did the half a billion dollars come from?

[-] obviouspornalt@fedinsfw.app 14 points 5 days ago

he borrowed it on margin against Tesla and SpaceX stock, just like any other money he has to actually spend.

Dude was an outspoken democrat during the obama admin, he's just a shill for whatever current power he thinks will get him more money.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 29 points 5 days ago

Same as former Democrat Trump.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago

Alex Jones called Trump a Democratic plant on election night.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Alex Jones wears velcro sneakers.

He absolutely is. I'd say his IQ is between ragweed and a fern.

He's shown himself to be a total white supremacist neo-nazi. He backed AfD. He's spent millions on political campaigns teeming with hate speech. We can't let him walk away from that.

Really, this isn't just a Musk issue, it's a billionaire issue. It's a plutocratic class issue. They want to keep their power, and as soon as hierarchy-enforcing extremist far-right movements form, they'll be right there to bankroll and support them. The patrician class is completely adversarial to the notion of society based on equality rather than privilege, and they will bring all their resources to bear to put down societies based on community and equal treatment.

Also, we've seen Musk's entire history is getting funding by lying, and making inspirational promises on which he won't deliver. Musk is the same kind of flim-flam artist as Trump, the same kind of shapeshifter as JD Vance or Lindsey Graham.

And then he makes cars that run people over, and rockets that shake houses apart, and trucks that cut people in half.

Musk needs to be separated from his capital. In this case the means of production very much needs to be seized and restored to the people.

Pink Floyd suggested the Fletcher Memorial Home (for Colonial Wasters of Life and Limb). Musk would be happy there.

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Couldn't have said it better.

imagine spending over half a billion to just switch sides when it isnt working. if this doesnt show everyone, that billionaires shouldn't exist ....

Homer had the right idea from the beginning.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

TIL Musk played himself on a Simpsons episode a fucking decade ago

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

2015, not long before he started revealing his true colors.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

But early on enough that only true haters like myself and fucking Thunderf00t for some reason really noticed. Seriously I thought I was going crazy back then for hating Musk, I could smell the profligate on him, feels good to be continuously vindicated.

[-] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I think the first whiff I had off him was when he started talking hyperloop back in 2013. I figured it was just sort of mis-step in his judgment but that was the first scratch in his teflon coating.

He also played a version of himself from another reality in Rick and Morty, which Dan Harmon later deeply regretted portraying him as a genius. Although that could be explained by the fact that it's an alternate universe version of him where he's not a fascist prick.

Lots of people fell for his veneer of competency and glazed him like crazy in those days, and there was a real groupthink mentality behind his supposed genius - he was always portrayed by the media as intelligent and then when people hear about him in passing for the first time they come to a conclusion that if that many people think he's a genius then he simply must be.

[-] lockemup@sopuli.xyz 15 points 5 days ago

Boo this welfare queen

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 19 points 5 days ago

Elon Musk (identified by label), in a blue cap and blue sweater, skateboard on his back: "How do you do, fellow democrats?"

Took me maybe 10 minutes, on my phone, by hand, sitting on the loo.

NEVER SLOP!

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Wait, did he claim to switch back?

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

He's deleting a bunch of his Shitter posts like the coward he is. Many are assuming he'll be bending the knee to Democrats so he doesn't lose the government welfare grants he lives off of or go to prison.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

What a coward, he could at least have the ovaries to change sides with his whole chest and pretend like he's doing it for a different reason

[-] anhydrous@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

No matter how many Xitter posts he deletes isn't going to make me forget the double salute day, or the atrocities since.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I wonder what it's like being born without a spine.

[-] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I will not have Jimmothy the Raccoon put down like this! Musk is more like a sort of demonic amoeba that has used his animorphs like abilities to resemble a spinless person.

The one posted by Ars Technica

Has "abolish ice" on the shirt which is really the perfect icing on the cake there.
