      I don’t understand why people think he is smarter than average and why he has such an ego, he sounds like a lot of managers I have had who got to their position impressing uninformed people by repeating things he hears engineers say (usually incorrectly)

        it’s worse than that. he sounds like every insecure, self-aggrandizing, semi-handicapped 20 year old who ever worked a bottle return at a supermarket.

        he’s a man that NOBODY would ever pay attention to if he weren’t rich.

        would be have any kind of internet following if he was joe blow instead of elon musk? fucking nope.

    It’s not like people ARE murdering Nazis in broad daylight, if anything it’s the opposite, and has always been for the past 30 years if not more.

    I hope he’s paranoid. I hope every moment of his life is spent in fear of being killed by a stranger. Not the passive, “Someone’s out to get me,” fear, but real dread. The kind that makes you question the wind that blew across your neck. The kind that makes you wonder if that person you like being around actually likes being around you. The kind that makes you believe that maybe it would be easier to just…

    Wow this is a dark fucking “every accusation is an admission”.

    I was pretty sure elon has been trying to call hits on people through Twitter… this clinched it.

    Thankfully he’s such a fucking loser nobody has taken him up on it. Real “boy i just wanna rock out at one of your sick parties what days are your best parties I’d really love to come on the day of your wildest party” energy.

    Team ‘both’ checking in.

    If you decide to act like a Nazi, you should die like a Nazi.

    …and if you’re a trillionaire, you should die ASAP even if you act like Mr. Rogers - sorry duder but humanity cannot afford you.

      If someone had given Mr. Rogers a trillion dollars we’d be living in that “the future if ****” meme right now.

        I like to think of someone have a trillion dollars to Mr. Rogers he would have been a trillionaire for like a day, losing the title almost immediately as he redistributed it appropriately.

            With a trillion? He could end all hunger, child or adult, and it would barely register on the mass of money involved.

          I imagine figuring out where to put the money and actually moving those amounts would take significantly longer, but… Yeah.

      Just do literally anything besides be a gigantic asshole with all his wealth. He couldn’t even manage to help save those kids in that cave without being a fucking dick about it. Dude needs to stfu and go to therapy.

        Also he didn’t save those kids in that cave and, indeed, his proposed solution would likely have wound up in their deaths.

        So he reacted like any sane, normal, well-adjusted human would: he called the guy who actually did the saving a pedo.

      It’s pretty much a fact, yes. But if I had to stand behind the smelly president with eyes & cameras pointed at me for doG knows how long, I’d be fidgety too.

    If he’s worried about people wanting to kill him, maybe he shouldn’t have fucked over so many people with DOGE. That probably made the list of people who want him dead a lot longer.

    Puts possibly the largest target on themselves of anybody in history.

    People want to kill me? Well fucking duh, how about not trying to be the richest drug addict white supremacist carnival barker in history. Did you think that lying to everyone with a PR team to run cover for you would last forever.
