Summary

Elon Musk, under fire for massive layoffs and controversial political influence, is now complaining about Democrats celebrating Tesla’s stock crash.

At CPAC, Musk mocked job losses, but later whined about Tim Walz reveling in Tesla’s decline.

Public backlash is growing: protests have erupted nationwide, and a Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows 67% wouldn’t buy a Tesla—over half citing Musk as the reason.

With falling approval ratings and criticism over his influence on Trump, Musk faces rising opposition from Americans disillusioned by his actions and rhetoric.

    Someone told me that the “fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy,” so you can go fuck yourself.

      And that was such a dangerous thing to say.

      Humans are social creatures. Empathy is a cornerstone of society.

      We literally teach kids about empathy in preschool. Imagine being against teaching small children to understand how someone else feels. shivers

    He’s lucky it’s not worse. Musk deserves everything coming at him and more. He could have shut the fuck up and quietly stayed rich. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    lol if you can’t handle the heat from being a massive cunt then maybe don’t be a cunt. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

      Yup. Musk is a 4chan shit poster with a really thin skin. He never grew up and he never WILL grow up. He’s “Poochie” from the Simpsons.

    The thing that pisses me off the most about all of this is Edolph Muskler is giving ketamine a bad name with his ridiculous behavior.

    Typical narcissistic whining. Mocks any misfortune that befalls others. Then they whine like a two year old who get told they can’t have another piece of candy when its their misfortune.

    Hate to tell him, but a lot of Republicans hate him, too.

    Ah, who am I kidding? I love telling him that.
