Elon Musk

had to have been the cars. then it seemed like he was sort of the epic bacon guy for normies who Fucking Love Science for a nice long while. feel like he’ll be full mask-off fash before the new year

Tesla shuts off in mid-drive if you put on NPR or any liberal music

secret "self-crashing" feature if u like tweets criticizing him

Anyone who ever stanned a fucking ceo in any year is an abject rube with zero self respect

i read grimes' response tweet and it just broke my fucking heart.

why did lefties used to like this guy so much?

citation fuckin needed

Just about half my social circle was on his dick prior to like...last year

One of whom shared a Be Like Elon meme

xp she had a response tweet? i've been trying to find it for a few minutes (why? i don't know) and don't see one

Not to be all no true Scotsman but I’d question whether these were “lefties”

the only person i've ever met who was pro Elon was a complete Tory creep who kept winking at me when I was chatting to his wife, and he was completely incredulous that he'd called that diver a pedo and was blithering on about some top-notch ted-talk he did. but "lefties" not a bloody chance, not even the so-called soft left i don't think.

maybe she deleted it. doesn't matter, it's still being shared all around discord. it was raw, emotional, and intensely personal.

i'm thinking of calling my next vaporwave project Cis Men in Acute Emotional Crisis. and it's real vaporwave, by which i mean it won't even exist.

look, i know this is a pvmic but it pains me on an ongoing basis to see cis men who are obviously not doing well lash out with anger and hatred and rage, to get into this particular spiral. it deeply saddens me the pattern playing out here, where Elon Musk's Girlfriend who is a brilliant and creative and accomplished woman tries to take care of him because he doesn't fucking know how to take care of himself, because he doesn't know how to hurt without hurting other people, and then when she does, everybody points at her, everybody _blames_ her, it's her fault for having the temerity to love a man.

there are a lot of women who love men, and it is hard, it is really fucking hard for the women i know. men have no idea how fucking hard it is.

elon musk is in emotional crisis, and he is handling it the same way goddamn near every other cis man handles emotional crisis, the way i used to handle emotional crisis before i transitioned and started to learn how to have fucking emotional boundaries - by lashing out like a wounded animal.

as to whether the "left" likes musk, i mean, half the women on trans discord still get really bubbly whenever there's a spacex launch. if you want to say trans women aren't really "lefties", i just don't know how much of a useful judgement that is.

.@elonmusk continues his effort to spend lots of money to transport tiny numbers of people. Inefficiency is inequality! https://t.co/7vsFaPdUgp

I might unbookmark this thread bc now that I think about it it’s the only reason I am at all aware of Elon Musk’s shenanigans and dealings

out of all his shit trying to undermine pubic transpo is the worst and most revealing of who he really is, an industrialist duh

“worshipping the ceo of Tesla(/whatever other billionaire)” seems like it should be disqualifying but “leftie” is a broad enough church to include tories now I guess

someone on twitter was saying they had leftie in their tinder profile and a date thought it meant left handed lol

Oh yeah sorry for other kind of lefty erasure

I like to be flexible and nnon-judgemental as far as I can be, but stanning for some old money plutocrat industrialist whose family fled s africa with a load of dosh after the end of apartheid, well that means your politics are about as left wing as Margaret Thatcher.

you're not wrong. maybe i'm too much of a softie, maybe i go about things too slow, but my guess is that a lot of the folks i mentioned up thread may have a significantly different reaction to the next spacex launch. it's mostly a tactical difference, i think.

Tesla was cool before this shithead bought them, is my view

the og Tesla was the coolest, he invented alternating current and lived in a hotel room full of pigeons and wild birds!

good thing he never got on twitter

he probably liked Hitler's fave book I'm guessing?

and he was a eugenics stan. erm .. I meant Micheal Faraday!

Apparently, he had more than enough tweets.

lol!

I think I hate him more than Bezos.

i'm reminded of my first car, 1996 pontiac grand am, which used to completely shut off (like i ran out of gas, no power steering, slowly coming to a crawl) every time i hit a moderate bump in a road

shitposter ceo is such a blatantly awful idea that i kinda respect it

Uh, is that meme written in a clumsy imitation of AAVE? In which case, really fucking racist, fuck you Musk.

I think I hate him more than Bezos.

wonder how much free government money this guy got

Bezos is more successfully evil partially because he's smart enough not to, for example, develop this sort of extremely online persona

assuming you only want 10 billion dollars and not 100 billion dollars, i think musk is successful on those terms precisely because of his extremely online persona. without that, there is no way the stock price (and therefore his personal fortune) would be where it is.

he can't get to bezos's level by shitposting, but he is the most successful shitposter of all time.

imagine if bezos had musk's fanboy army

he'd get them doing mechanical turk shit for free

Bezos at least created a successful business

musk had alltime great pr before the shit posting, its hurt him, if not in the stock price... yet

i mean seeming very publicly unstable is not something the big money tends to like, they wont complain as long as theyre making money but once theyre not

i think going nuts was his best option

im willing to listen to your thesis
