You know what's horrific and evil? Cutting Medicaid and social security for millions of people because your billions of dollars isn't enough money to make up for the fact that you're a giant man baby.

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can't even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being's life.

[–] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 67 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That would require empathy, which he considers a weakness. So he probably is genuinely baffled by this.

Has he even said 'Thank You' ONCE yet??? So ungrateful...

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And he's not wearing a suit either

I love that we have found a way to hurt him, keep it up.

Personally i think the level of violence could be a little higher still... Or way higher! Burning megafactories levels of higher.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Well, civil war levels of violence would be higher. Are you saying Elon was right lol?

It would make my year if he cried live in an interview where it dawns on him that he's the cause of his own demise. But he's not smart enough.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He almost did actually. He was in an interview a little while ago where he was moments away from tears.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is step up the protest.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

That should be the course of action no matter if Musk is crying or not.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support

Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.

I like it when Nazi man-children cry.

Does anyone else think the "happening in my town of (insert town name here)" is a bot account he set up to blow up small isolated incidents?

The funny thing is, he doesn't even feel it that much. His ownership of Tesla is peanuts compared to SpaceX, where the contracts with the government are. Just some food for taught 🤔

[–] segabased@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

We brought him a little taste of civil war. He's just mad he's on the losing side.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The best thing about this is that Tesla is massively overvalued. Like, the stock price is more than 20x what it should be based on Tesla's earnings.

If Tesla had a reasonable value, then hedge fund managers and other rich people would probably be buying it while it was temporarily down and getting rich as it went back up. But, with it so insanely overvalued, it's much more likely they'll short it or buy put options and hope to get rich when it finally crashes.

I will say though, I've been suspicious he's had long standing plans to just dump Tesla at some point in the near future anyway. I'm hopeful the point he was planning to jump ship and sell off his stock has gotten beyond his control and he can't do it without majorly fucking himself over.

Aside from everything else he's done to get deeply involved in the oil and gas industry, what made me really suspicious was when DOGE removed all EV charging stations from federal buildings for not being "mission critical."
