Elon Musk

*aide prints the relevant ilx poll thread*

watching elon musk do anything is like watching someone take a shit on the sidewalk

perfect

I pity the lawyer that has to explain how a poop emoji constitutes a disparaging remark and a violation of the acquisition deal in this context. Oh wait, that's me. pic.twitter.com/PiyQlUb6mW

also delaware sucks iirc???

The beaches are lovely

No Rehoboth fans?

jinx

Tax free shopping. Dogfish Head. Thrasher’s French Fries. Scrapple. The screen door factory.

We are Delaware of the charms of the First State.

Briefly the home of Bob Marley.

i am sorry i insulted delaware. i will try to do better in the future.

jupiter records is a great lil record shop

i dont know anything about that state barely even delaware it is

Delaware's worth was debated on this important thread

Delaware vs. Rhode Island

Look at me, talking about Delaware 16 years ago in that thread. Anyway, back to your musking.

While musking is no longer mandated, musking is still recommended.

this shouldn’t be read as indictment of the entire state but I spent the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas in Wilmington a few years ago and would not recommend

"Was really looking forward to this deal, but hey the SEC srsly dropped the ball, anyway check out this hydrogen powered rideshare unicycle right over here!"

It would be great if this fuckup finally destroyed his cult, but it won't.

i am sorry i insulted delaware. i will try to do better in the future.

lol. A+. very sly ambiguity there.

he's essentially the next Trump, or maybe he has been for a while, seems obvious at this point that his whole thing is doing/saying dumb shit & failing to deliver on anything but never experiencing any consequences as a result. ahhh, to be a rich shitposter

really cant imagine wanting to go from a universally lauded super rich celebrity to a loathed by half the people politicized super rich celebrity

guess he thinks his magic touch with business/celebrity media will carry over to stuff people actually care about good luck buddy

thank goodness he's disqualified for the presidency by virtue of his birthplace

nonzero chance that he runs anyway and everyone on the right, including all the Trump-picked judges, just ignore that rule entirely

doing what trump did isnt easy i doubt elon has the ability to serve the red meat but it is nice to not really have to worry about it

NEW: Elon Musk says he’ll vote for Republicans this year because “the Democratic Party is overly controlled by the unions and…class-action lawyers.”

Musk is a notorious union-buster & was hit with a class-action lawsuit from 1k Black workers who alleged rampant racism at Tesla. pic.twitter.com/2SEUBTgDXm

hahaha this guy is so shook. fuckin guy

you crying about unions now you big kingpin? boo hoo hoo

guy only likes playing monopoly if he starts with more money than everybody else otherwise he cries about it

"unions are just another form of monopoly" lol

If only the Democratic Party were controlled by unions.

i should be allowed to throw this guy in the ocean its fair

Bringing up reactionary greatest hits with 'class-action lawyers' - he's going to start making tort reform memes.

Put him in a bag first and let people whack it with sticks.

unfortunate that Tesla buyer demographics aren't worse for him going down this path

Tesla owners are more Republican than you'd think

CNN does not know what i think clearly

though my neighbors down the street have a tesla which they build a special parking spot for and they love kamala harris a lot. so two strikes against them i guess.

afaict tesla owners are all nimbys regardless of party affiliation

^ seems about right

saw someone on twitter theorizing his rightward trend was to attract conservative car buyers since hed already burned through dem environmental types via building the worlds shittiest cars, dont think its true but its a cute theory

xpost

My brother is a Tesla owner and literally helps run a YIMBY group. He was an early adopter tho, I haven’t checked with him lately for buyer’s remorse.

Tesla does seem to have eclipsed the BMW as the car of choice for douchebags.

will be interesting to see how tesla holds up with one million different electric cars about to hit the market

(My stepsister is a complete Elon stan. She’s also a recovering environmental scientist like myself and she has recently self-diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. At this point I think she’s just trying to keep her head above water, she was delivering for Amazon and got laid off so can’t comment on her Y/NIMBY status. If any of this seems like it’s violating her confidence someone please delete it, I don’t think there’s any crossover between the audience here and her social circle but just in case.)

Xxp

Thanks jimbeaux I’ll relay your regards to my bro.

that guy I know who keeps wrecking his teslas (lol) had to wait for a new tesla and his interim used car he bought? a bmw

he has absolutely bizarre choices in motor vehicles, though. he previously went (iirc) from one of the early hyundai hybrids to a hummer to a chevy volt

(Final follow-up on my fam Tesla history: to be clear the stepsister’s stepdad is a famous basketball coach, that’s the only way she could afford a Tesla.

Probably putting her solidly on the NIMBY squad.
