Summary
At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.
He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.
Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”
Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.
Confirming he’s not as smart as he pretends to be
To stupid to realize how stupid he is
Earn friends by firing tens of thousands of people. It should have been so simple, what could have possibly gone wrong?
I don’t remember that chapter from How to Win Friends and Influence People.
He knows perfectly well why.
He’s gaslighting so the people who hate him hate him louder, which he can then use as validation that they’re crazy or irrational.
It’s fucking disgusting and obvious as hell. He deserves all of the shit thrown at him and he knows it but doesn’t care because he doesn’t have to face any real consequences for it, so he escalates.
Everyone’s anger is his weapon against them, sadly because his supporters are dumb enough to go with it. He needs tangible consequences or else this will just keep getting worse.
I’m not certain that’s true. Even if he knew it was bullshit at some point. If you surround yourself with bullshit you stop being able to smell it.
You can come to believe a lie you tell yourself long enough and hard enough. He is surrounded by enablers who are also lying to themselves.
It doesn’t matter what he believes. He does need consequences.
I wonder if that’s actually true, because I think that he is to some extent literally psychotic. What happens when someone who actually has enormous wealth and power still goes through manic phases or experiences something like grandiose delusions? He might really believe that he’s saving the nation and the world, and that this should be obvious to all.
It’s like those movies (I can’t remember which ones but I’m sure I’ve seen some) where the king thinks of himself as good and is genuinely surprised and confused when he learns that the common people feel oppressed by him. Except in this case the king does not (and probably can not) learn a heartwarming moral lesson.
Maybe he doesn’t know because he refuses to listen to anyone who criticizes him, banning them on Twitter and calling them paid actors in public events.
How dumb can this jerkoff be?
No matter stupid you think he is, I guarantee it’s more than that.
This just in: man who despises empathy struggles to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
That makes it so much more fun to hate his guts.
Cry about it you fuckhead.

My father-in-law has been divorced three times. Each of his exes have told him directly that they left because he’s too controlling. To this day, he openly and genuinely states he has no idea why he’s been divorced three times - “I try so hard in marriage. I just don’t get it.”
Some people can’t hear the truth even if you rubber stamp it on their forehead.
Cue: Elon Musk.
Never underestimate a human’s capacity for self-deception. I think it’s our most perfected trait.
What is so crazy is that at the same time I see a headline with “Tesla’s sales plummet 13 percent as Musk backlash grows” and yet TSLA is up 4.72% at the moment.
W T A F
Sales plummet 13%. Stock goes up nearly 5%.
Too many people shorting?
Shorting would drop the price.
Not always, right? Like if there is a short squeeze.
That is a very specific and unusual circumstance.
Shorts have to be bought back after the term. You borrow it, sell it, and buy it back after so much time and give it back to the lender. You think the stock is shit so when you buy it back it will be lower cost than what you sold for and you keep the difference.
Too many shorts all at the same time and now everyone is buying it back and driving up the price, but that just rarely happens, and when it does happen it will work itself out in a few days or weeks.
He acts like an absolute ass and expects people to like him. He really is a moron and I’ve known that for years. I could see through all his bullshit while rest of the world was still cheering his “brilliance”.
And he’ll keep pretending to wonder why until a mob executes him live on Twitch
We could only dream such an ending
