His existence is harmful. I feel that I need to defend myself against him at all times, since him just existing is akin to assault and battery.
The worst part is, he probably fucking believes that.
That's how out of touch he is
He knows that his actions have killed people. He knew that he was cutting USAIDand he knows now that people have died because of those loss of services. That's not a secret. And by now he knows that some people have been cut off from social security because they were declared dead when they're still alive, which again is harming people.
Of course he might say that those changes were necessary or reasonable or accidental. But whatever the explanation, he knows that his actions have harmed people.
And if you'd like to take a different look at it, just think about how he's described damage to the economy. He has openly said that he thinks the economy is going to get worse before it gets better, because of the changes that he and Trump have enacted. Here again, you can make an argument that he believes in the long run things will be better than they were in the past. I don't think that's true, but even if you do, it's still openly acknowledging that he made things worse for many in the short term.
I support the current thing.
Fuck you Muskcovite.
Not harmful for him or his fellow billionaires...
He's moved them all closer to the chopping block.
His intention wasn't that, but to just enrich himself and his fellows even more.
Get fucked you Hitler saluting fascist.
Holy shit, I actually laughed out loud at this. "Never done anything harmful", lmfao. Get the fuck outta here.
You don't get to be the richest man in the world without crushing those under you. Fucking liar.
Let alone destroying the majority of the us government
Fuck this POS!
He's an actual sociopath
I'm not being hyperbolic, he's an actual clinically sociopathic person, of course he thinks he hasn't done harm.
"I've never done anything harmful"
Haha, good one, Musk. Trolls gonna troll. Now fuck off back under your bridge, you nepo-baby scumbag.
I mean, forget the dismantling of the United States of America. Even without that, he sued into oblivion and made it untenable wherever possible to even get recompense from Tesla after the cars self-crashed or self-destructed. Musk is a walking, talking pile of shit harming everyone wherever he can. He made a person saving miners out to be a pedophile. He names his fucking kid an unpronounceable series of letters and numbers. This man is a fucking shouldabeenabort plaguing the whole world.
And he's a deadbeat dad.
This is coming from the guy who literately waved a fucking chainsaw up at CPAC.
He’s a sociopath, and like a good sociopath, he’s trying to elicit empathy in others for personal gain. He’s even said empathy is a weakness of Western civilization that can be exploited, and that’s exactly what these crocodile tears are designed to do. He’s even has an army of PR people he normally would ignore if his Tesla stock wasn’t tanking.
Yep. Fuck this fucking fucker.
Though I think it is important to add that he has also illegally broken into many different government organizations without access or permission. Causing them to be unable to do their job serving the American public. He's hurt thousands if not millions of people already.
And did a Nazi salute, and literally fired tens of thousands of people for no fucking reason. I hope he's just pretending to be surprised and not actually this dense.
And let's not forget about the emerald mine, and stealing Tesla, and environment harm.
He didn't steal Tesler. He was such an obscenely shitty person to have to deal with the founders literally sold out to not have to deal with him anymore.
Apparently, he is not as smart as we were led to believe.
From the guy who literally said "Hitler didn't harm anyone"
Then we know what his standard is: he means he's no more harmful than Hitler.
he said. "We've never done anything harmful."
He's personally seen to the loss of tens of thousands (hundreds now perhaps) of jobs has no signs of stopping, stopping nutritional aid to those that need it most, and has even made comments about going after Social Security which serves our societies most vulnerable. Elon, how on Earth are you so clueless to see that all this hate is directly from your actions.
I'd even argue people may not have cared for Tesla, but the fact that Musk directly benefits monetarily makes Tesla a target.
A perfect example: Musk also was partial creator of Paypal even though he sold his interest in it a long time ago and has no association with it now. While lots of folks don't like Paypal for a number of reasons, I don't hear one peep of people ditching paypal because Musk had a hand in its creation.
Dude literally harassed and tried to ruin the life of a guy who saved a bunch of trapped kids in a cave. Never did anything harmful my ass.
Elon, how on Earth are you so clueless to see that all this hate is directly from your actions.
Such is life when you are empathy free...
And, likely, a sociopath to boot.
🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🙄 🖕 🖕
He's not clueless, he's using this as an opportunity to play the victim and paint "the left" as the real problem. It's all for Fox news viewers and the ignorant and it's going to work. These people are masters at propaganda and manipulation. It's disgusting how effective they've been
Sure it's going to work. The American right is a lost cause of lead-huffing morons. They'd open up wide if Musk said he was going to shit in their mouths and chugged a milkshake made of Taco Bell and Diablo sauce on the way to do it.
Listened to a bit of a recent Joe Rogan visit he had. He plays it like the attacks are coming from the deep state hidden in bureaucracy as if those programs had no positive impact on people's lives
Meanwhile this man is literally the deep state within the bureaucracy right now.
The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy [for the rich.]
Sorry Musk! I heard empathy is weakness!
If you dont consider hacking a government to pieces harmful.... Idk what to tell you. Even hacking a regime to pieces will hurt people. You can't move fast and break things with governments and people's lives.
Just another Conservative Victim™️.
Is he seriously thinking that people might have empathy for him if he says that?
No it's just fake for the MAGA who are still fully delusional according to the conservative subreddit
Damn near everything he does is harmful.
Elon reciting the first line of The Narcissist’s Prayer.
I'm honestly curious what kind of bubble this guy lives in. Who the fuck does he talk to on a regular basis?
It might be a lot of yes men, and people who feed his ego. His personality could be just to cut out anyone who has any level of differing opinions. Maybe he actually believes this shit he says. Who the fuck knows.
Here is a good glimpse of what he is surrounded by. Yes men who just laugh and agree with everything he says.
"If you ignore the staggering amount of human misery that I am directly and indirectly responsible for, and all the absolutely appalling things I advocate for, I've never done anything harmful."
Poor man meets rich man and they look at each other. Says the poor man, were I not poor, you'd not be rich!
Boycott them all.
Yeah, it's a conspiracy fuck-face. It's not like people are openly saying you suck, you're a leech, we're going to boycott the companies you're involved with and you're not wanted here. It's all a secret conspiracy. Pay no attention to the signs at very public protests.
People like him do harmful things and act like they're the most important people on Earth, but when the boomerang comes right back at them, they crawl around and cry that they did nothing wrong. PATHETIC.
Ayo Elon suck my man musk and use your tears as lube
