“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.

Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.

Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.

Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Fled Cruz is about the only person more deserving of nastiness.

Is this the snowflake I have been hearing so much about? Why does he look like he is about to cry?

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Let me consider this. I've considered this, go fuck yourself.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He's jealous?

I would tell this asshat to go back to Alberta, where he was born, but I would not wish such harm on Canadians.

So instead, I will link a now somewhat out of date, but otherwise fairly comphrensive youtube video explaining how shitty this guy is.

Renegade Cut - Nobody Likes Ted Cruz

He is a slimy worm who believes in nothing, but just appoints himself the mouthpiece of the whatever the crazy republican flavor of this particular election season is.

Funnily enough alberta is considered the redneck of canada, I doubt he would feel out of place there

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Special snowflakes.... fuck them all to hell.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

Why hasn't this shitstick been deported yet? And why is Rubio still here also?

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Nah bruh, he should just kill himself.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Wow, Cruz must really loathe him.

[–] unabart@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This guy is absolutely desperate for a friend who might be able to help him politically. Anyone to get him on tv. He’s like a scab that prople keep picking. Loathesome human.

Don't put this evil on them. They were justifiably worried about Brittney

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Fuck Ted Cruz and fuck Elon Musk

I feel like Elon has fallen out of the inner circle and he can now only interact with the turds that orbit on the far outer ring now. I just picture Ted Cruz coming out like a hunched over Golem to tell him and whatever other orbiting magat turds he's still cool.

Ted, go fucking die already. Fuck you and anybody who's uneducated and naive enough to fall for the Republican playbook. You don't get to try to shift blame with wet toilet paper cries. When enough people tell you that you're shit and you constantly are shit, look like shit, and act like shit, you should hop in the shower and do some inventory. You're an embarrassment to your whored out redneck state and have never been fit for public office. I can't wait to smile about your obituary and share it with friends.

The NAZI needs to be driven out of this country. It is nearly destroyed because of him.

ICE really needs to come pick his ass up.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Cruz, Vance, Musk, Miller, and their ilk didn't get their asses beaten in High School enough.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Fuck you, Ted.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Can we get other countries to deny these sycophants entry for being spineless?

Remember when Rafael Cruz had that booger on his lip during a speech? I haven't forgotten. He ate a booger during a debate.

He rooted out massive waste, fraud and abuse, and he did so at enormous cost to himself.

massive waste and enormous cost got me. this is just an appeal to feelings as always.

[–] AlexLost@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

If these people like the work he is doing, that immediately makes it bad and highly likely unlawful to the rest of us out here in actual real society. Also, this guy not understanding why a thing is has got to be the least shocking thing in the world. Not a guy with a finger on the pulse of his constituents, let alone the nation.
