The depression for fElon is sinking in.. don’t stop making fun of him
"I've never physically hurt anyone" says the guy who just dismantled USAID dooming tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to die through starvation, disease and conflict.
Clear answer asshole. Because your a nazi, because your destroying the government and putting people on the street that are civil servants. Not just that but I can’t visit Yosemite because of you. Not just that parks are running in skeleton crew. Way to show our tourist what a shit country we are becoming. There’s plenty of dislike there buddy. Spazz out and take a hit.
So he's never personally physically harmed anyone while his heroes brutally killed millions.
Really puts his recent tweet about Hitler's "public workers" into context... Dude thinks he's exempt from blame because he's the one giving orders.
Which is fucked because the excuse 'I was only following orders' was completely rejected as a defense. That being said, the ones who GAVE the orders were punished more harshly than the ones following them.
C’mon guys, he didn’t personally design a car who’s doors won’t open if the car is, let’s say, “on fire”.
Security measures: we don't want the fire to spread outside, don't we?
Eat the rich. Muskrat should be the first. The others will fall in line
Robotaxis will fail and kill people because this ketamine addict thinks that anything he thinks of will work flawlessly and will not admit to defeat or failure. Can't wait until the fallout begins between him and the bigger asshole drumpf. If your kids hate you that is the ultimate proof you're a fucking loser as a human being.
Really Elon, it's pretty obvious. Hard to imagine that a genius like you does nazi why we hate your ass.
Elon, people hate you because you're a transphobic Nazi. You did two Nazi salutes at the inauguration, you support a Nazi party in Germany known as the AfD. You use ableist slurs. You illegally fired workers. You're destroying the government. You make terrible cars. Need I go on?
I would argue that knowingly pushing out incomplete driving software does count for physically hurting people.
What's the term... it's on the tip of my tongue? Malicious incompetence? Knowing that you're fucking up something, but not caring even in cases where its failure could have serious/life threatening consequences, and playing it off as a fluke, mistake, or silly misunderstanding?
"I've never physically hurt anyone" - That is very oddly phrased. He is very aware that he is hurting people, but tries to draw the line at "physically" for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the line he's drawing for himself that he will soon step over and ignore because he believes he is being treated unfairly and needs to take his gloves off.
Nobody has physically hurt him either ~~yet~~, not sure why he’s complaining
There's an "I didn't break their teeth, jaw, nose, orbital, shoulders, elbows, hands, knees and feet. That was "someone's" hired goons, and it was only because they "fell" down a flight of stairs." overtly winking "I'm clearly in no way legally responsible." sort of a vibe to this guy.
You know when children keep their fingers like half a centimeter away from someone and go "why are you getting annoyed? I'm not touching you!"
That's him.
it would be hilarious if motherfuckers shitposted elon down from his throne. it would be my favorite timeline.
"Physically"
Does it count as a lie by omission if you ADD a detail to make it happen?
And it's not true because his shoddily made cars have killed people
Nobody is physically hurting him, so I don't know what he is whining about.
"physically" is quite an admission
He deserves all the hate he gets.
And that hilarious line "...I've never physically hurt anyone". Interesting how he has to qualify that by saying he never 'physically' hurt anyone. Like he knows if he said he never hurt anyone, he'd get called out right away. What a joke. Yeah, he's financially ruined people, cost people their jobs, selling defective vehicles, overpromising and underdelivering, stolen from people (see how he took control of Tesla. People say he founded Tesla, but he didn't. he was an early investor, and used strong-arm tactics to oust it actual founders), but he's never actually physically put his hands on anyone, so he's a good person... right.
He forced them to sign a contract allowing him to call himself hte Founder despite that being literally not true
He has hurt his trans daughter deeply by broadcasting her private life to millions against her will, he is a complete stochastic terrorist.
he operates like trump, get other people to hurt them for him. thats how gang/mafia works.
there is no violence against him remember, just the hate. dude is overreacting like a little bitch.
Funny how he says he never 'physically' hurt anyone, instead of he 'never hurt anyone, period'. Because he knows if he said he never hurt anyone, he'd get called out for all the crap and shady dealings he's done, and all the people whose lives he's ruined.
"Boo hoo have empathy for me" - Elom
"But also, empathy is a bug in human society hurr durr im smort"
lmao @ having to qualify "I've never hurt anyone" with "physically"
Just means you're a privileged coward.
I love how most of the world has turned against him.
Last half of the tweet is missing, he blames woke Democrats if I remember correctly, claims he's helping.
deadly
wait wait wait wjat the fuck is this actually happening
Yeah, context matters. He thinks he's the hero still, blames the "woke mind parasites" against him and he's here to fix it
LMAO what a tool. Money can't buy friends or popularity.
He privately paid people to boost his video game characters, while publicly acting like he was some next-level pro gamer.
It makes me wonder, does he really think pretending to be a genius is the same as actually being one?
What a snowflake. Nobody's physically hurt him.
Sub 200 TSLA is possible!
Hell, I believe sub 100 TSLA may be possible. That'd be when his empire really starts to crack.
Seriously ? double-sieg-heil and he's asking why the hate ?
"iT wAs A rOmAn SaLuTe" 🙄
Considering that his doge team has broken into the Peace Institute, Musk doesn't strike me as a peaceful guy.
It's incredible how detached from reality he is. He's doing this stuff but I'm not sure he really understands how it's affecting others. He does however understand how it affecting him though.
The privlidge of wealth. Something I'll never understand.
I could happily live out the rest of my life without ever interacting with a single Musk product again.
"I've never physically hurt anyone" says the man setting back cancer research in the US by decades and purposely starving poor people abroad (and at home).
