Nationalize his assets and deport him to South Africa
Tesla was built off the backs of the US taxpayer. It's so crazy to me that he's too dumb to realize being a toxic right winger is bad for business. He gets tax payer funds from the Democrats, his customers definitely skew left of center. I always thought Tesla was insanely over valued, but with all his bullshit and the major car manufacturers giving them competition now Tesla is bound to collapse...
Being a "toxic right winger" is actually the requirement to do business in capitalism.
South Africa is where his families money is from and he can still have power there.
Guantanamo Bay is where he belongs
Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.
The UK?
When was UK in Pacific?
We have entered the out loud part of billionaire gangsters literally taking over the world or trying. Elon dreams of an authoritarian world where he can house his workers a la Foxconn. Honestly someone is going to star popping these malignant ghouls soon and Elon is a prime candidate. One special ops team and a MANDAP and no more X.
We now live in an overt oligarchy heading toward fascism. Although it's always been an oligarchy behind the scenes IMO, you are right, they are now saying the quiet part out loud. They are also taking actions that were once done behind closed doors right out into the open.
David Frum: "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy."
We are watching that happen. An oligarchy run by a fascist would be just fine with conservatives as they're showing us every single day.
Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition… There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Laws clearly do not bind Trump, Thomas, Roberts, Alito or Musk and they're done pretending that they do. They don't even bother playing lip service to the idea that we have a government of laws, not of men.
I once had a Mexican friend tell me "I weep for my country" when talking about Mexican crime. Watching the Republican's accelerating mockery of our laws, institutions and government I'm sorry to say that as an American I weep for mine.
Ukraine special ops downs Elmos jet....
