Elon Musk is an incompetent sociopathic scammer who got very lucky.
He is not a great engineer, he's a dumbass who got fired from his own company for being incompetent. When the company was bought he raked in the cash from the shares he had, that's all. All his "great ideas" are face palmingly stupid.
He's petty and vengeful. When rescuers were risking their lives getting kids out of a cave denied his stupid idea, he called them a pedophile just because fuck you. That is musk in a nutshell.
He doesn't give a shit about anything or anybody but himself. He forces people to work in near slave like conditions. Do it or get fired and lose your house, or maybe deported. Unions? Fuck your unions, here is a chain lulz.
He. Lies. About. Everything. Probably the only person worse than Trump when it comes to continuous lying. Every promise he made is bullshit. Tesla will.... nope.
He was the bright light behind the decision not to use flame diverters (standard tech from the 60's) when his next SpaceX toy was launched, because it would take too much time to build and it would not be needed... a decision which utterly obliterated the launch platform, pelted even cars on a parking lot 5 kilometers away and polluted the entire surroundings. All because he needs to show the world how big his dick is. Then when the rocket blew up over Mexican territory (nice self destruct that didn't even work) everyone cheered because rockets.. should.... Blow up? Oh yeah, that was by design. WTF?
And as always, he just laughs it off and his fans laugh with him because "it's Elon man, he's cool! He walked in to Twitter with a kitchen sink!" And then proceeded to run the company he paid twice too much for into the ground, it now being worth, what? 30% from what he paid? So like 15% from what it was actually worth? From the second he started he just did the stupid. Firing so many people without even checking if they were needed, causing people to be locked in the buildings, the blue check mark scandal... twitter (not X) is a shit show and will be bankrupt very soon as muskie won't be able to afford to pay back the billions he had to borrow for his little toy.
Fuck everything about this guy, may he step on a Lego every day he gets out of bed.
Right with ya, but I'm not seeing any of his fans online. Nada. I'm pretty sure they're all but gone or deep in hiding.
I think you wouldn't find them on Lemmy, it's kind of an echo chamber here. I have a bunch of family that has Teslas and plans to get more Teslas because they're "cool" and they either don't care that Elon is behind it, or think he's some kind of hero.
What do you mean by “… twitter (not x) is a shit show …”?
In April, Twitter merged into X Corp. and Twitter, Inc. ceased to exist. So I’m not sure if there’s some legal point you’re trying to make.
Musk deadnames his own child
Fuck that x bullshit.
It's not a legal pointe, it's me refusing to dance to his bullshit fiddle. It's why I dropped twitter ,(not x) completely
Elon can go fuck himself, but don't use autism as an insult, ever.
When you say "his autistic asshole", you're using autism as an insult against him, which has absolutely nothing to do with why he's a piece of shit. It's extremely insensitive to do that.
What the fuck are you on about? I genuinely don't follow. I explained twice now why what you said is problematic.
No, you should maybe listen to people, when they point out that you're doing something in a wrong way. Why is it necessary to state that Musk is autistic while you insult him? It implies meaning where there is none. It is simply just Musk who's an asshole, nothing else.
I did not defend him and you are missing the point. Again.
Okay, listen: You can call Musk an asshole all you want, I don't care, you don't care, we all don't care. He simply is an asshole.
But: Stop using the term autistic as a slur. It's so simple and everybody is happy.
Last warning for what? lol
It's not difficult to understand that saying "his autistic asshole" implies that being autistic is bad and is being used as a slur against him. I am autistic, fuck using this type of language.
And just in case you think I'm defending Elon, I'm a communist, fuck him.
Last warning? Stop inhaling car exhaust you troll.
I don’t understand this. It’s literally not Twitter anymore.
Yeah, but you know what he's talking about, right? Why be so pedantic about it?
Yes, I do now. It’s similar to people that say “not my President”. It’s a way to state that you don’t like something that happened.
I’ve since discovered that this is a red vs blue powered issue, which makes this discussion moot. Throwing rocks for any reason at the other color isn’t useful. I vote third party and stay out of red vs blue.
