DOGE wants to kill me, by taking away my insulin. I have good reason to want Musk and Trump to be trapped in a burning cyber truck.
That sounds like self-defense to preserve your life.
Would it be more fun televized like George Carling suggested? Naked upsidedown crucifixion? Or catapulted onto a brick wall?
Drawn and quartered, via Tesla vehicles. It is a quiz show where every time Musk fails to answer, one of the vehicles move several feet. These questions, can be about how many people lost their jobs and lives to Musk, and what rules DOGE broke in order to ruin them. Upon 10 questions failed, all the vehicles run free, and Musk becomes a wishbone.
There might be a bear animatronic as the host to this event.
People cheer at the news that Tesla dealerships are burning. That isn't because they hate Tesla, it's because Musk is an insufferable piece of shit. He solidified his legacy of trash when he went alt-right. He's now the villain and always will be
And the fucker revels being a villain. CPAC appearance on stage with a chainsaw, telling Bob Iger to go fuck himself, Nazi salutes, the list goes on... His brain is obviously mush, but I kinda wonder how he thought this was going to play out for his companies any other way than it has.
He thought he was going to be second in command in Trump's cult, and every MAGAt would be buying Teslas and using Starlink for Internet. He thinks he's a Hero and he thinks everyone will support whatever he does just because he's the one doing it.
He didn't read the fine print before he aligned himself with Trump and now he's paying the price & crying about it which is having the effect of making him look weak & stupid, when he thought it would make him a martyr.
I own a Tesla and I cheer at the news. While I don't particularly want someone to burn mine before it sells, I wouldn't begrudge whoever did it.
Get rid of it sooner rather than later, friend. It'll only depreciate more. That or body swap it with something more innocuous like a camry
Elon Musk and Trump are both traitors to Americs and deserve the maximum sentence for treason.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand
This is the narrative Musk and Republicans want.
The protests and vandalism aren't hurting his brand.
They're another consequence of him openly being a fucking Nazi, which is what's hurting his brand.
It's not that complicated, but a shit ton of people keep missing the point
“I can excuse some nazism, but vandalism is where I draw the line!”
…you can excuse nazism?
Won't someone think of the stock market?!
-Neoliberals
“They basically want to kill me”. Quote from people discussing their american health plans?
Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings
Wow, you have to be a special kind of shitty to actually hurt Trump's image, rather than the other way around.
In Scotland we have a word for people like Elon, cunt
i mean, what did he expect if he threatens to slash social security? any attempt to slash social security is a declaration of war to the civil class; and if you're declaring war, you better be ready to die.
how can we respect their lifes if they don't respect our lifes?
slashing social security is murder, you have the right to self-defense.
The people Musk told that empathy was bad don't have any empathy for Musk?
Elon Musk is a real victim, inside of having "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime", now he only has "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime".
I don't want you dead, Elon. I want you to be penniless and without anyone willing to loan you money anymore.
I don't want you dead, Elon.
Let's not be hasty, now.
Nah, they're right. Dead people can't suffer.
While he certainly deserves to suffer proportional to the suffering he's causing, top priority is stop him from causing more - if that means he ends up taking a bullet in a manner that renders him incapable of processing what's happening, I'll still count that as a good start.
She’d a tear for the billionaire as he dismantles our social safety net to give his cronies a tax break.
There isn't much of a safety net to dismantle, but he'll find a way.
I don't want to kill Musk, but I'm not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.
Don't kill him. Just tax him like they would with a normal working person. That would throw him into a world of sufferung.
i mean, he's already lost $200B net worth. If we keep at it, he will be in the gutter soon enough.
Clarence Darrow wrote: "All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."
If empathy’s a weakness then Karma is a bitch
Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn't have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.
Just every day some little misfortune to balance out karma like wet sleeves after washing hands, occasionally stepping into dog crap, marmalade toast falling on the floor upside down, a few paper cuts, stepping onto lego barefoot, mobile phone falling into toilet bowl and so on.
He is such a ridiculous asswipe that it seems like he’s doing it on purpose to help distract from other billionaires falling in line or random horrible shit the administration is doing.
I doubt it’s an act, and I suspect he’s really just that much of an asswipe, but damn.
Musk: Acts like a Nazi
Society: "A good Nazi is a dead Nazi."
Musk: "Y U DO THIS"
Imagine saying "They basically want me dead." and then wearing your child as a human shield. Father of the year.
I'll celebrate with a drink if somebody does.
Come the margin call I'ma feast on a dozen fried eggs and maybe, just maybe a tiny smidge of K
Musk and the other tech-Nazis who invested in Trump want to tear down the government and replace nations with individually owned territories, which each of these corporate criminals will run like a personal fiefdom. Think 13th century feudalism but with internet and cars. A bunch of lords owning everything including the people. "Freedom Cities" that will be wholly owned and operated by your corporate overlords.
At this point they might as well go back to trying to make a martyr out of the United Healthcare guy who's name I remember about as well as Elon Musk remembers what compassion is.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
A core principal of a martyr is being widely liked. No one gives a shit about this dude. Even the people who he surrounds himself with don't give a flying fuck about the dude. Musk himself makes every interaction with him transactional. Add in his default behavior of being an 11 year old edgelord wrapped in a 50 something whale body with hair plugs that's awkward as fuck to be around, and yeah it's not hard to see why nobody likes this fucking billionaire with attachment issues.
Dude needs to ditch the ketamine and perhaps get actual therapy. And actually having a better diet and exercise regimen wouldn't hurt either.
"Wahhhh! People I've demonized and repeatedly talk down to don't like me! Just because I'm destroying any positive programs the government has and taking your future safety nets away doesn't mean we can't still be friends!"
