Summary

Elon Musk reportedly mocked federal employees he fired by privately reacting to their hardships with “laugh-crying emojis,” according to Rolling Stone.

Sources say Musk finds amusement in stories of lives disrupted by his mass dismissals.

Ben Vizzachero, a fired wildlife biologist, confronted Musk at Trump’s congressional address and asked, “Am I waste?” Musk responded with a line from the 1999 movie Office Space: “What would you say you do here?”

Even Trump officials express frustration, calling Musk “irritating” and difficult to work with.

      Yep. My immediate thought after reading this headline was of the couple times he looked like he was gonna cry because people were celebrating the downfall of Tesla and the time he was streaming PoE2 and got bullied enough that he pretended to lag out and ragequit.

      He’s truly a net negative contribution to the species, and he furthers that status with every breath. Maybe there could be some argument that putting money into stuff pushed companies to adopt new, greener technologies in order to compete, but his pro fascism agenda has completely negated any praises I might have ever sung. And I think he’s too deep to ever reverse course.

      We know that he salutes like Hitler. Let’s all hope that he does that other thing like Hitler did that one time in late April of 1945. Epic memes ftw for the edgy memelord mastermind if he does it on the same day. 360 skibidi no scope rizz king shit.

    I feel like in some weird twisted sick way, Elmo is accidentally our savior. All these guys are evil and incompetent, but Elmo is so overtly incompetent that he fucks up most of the evil plans they had. It would have been so much worse of Elmo wasn’t here because then they maybe could have succeeded.

    So far it’s bad but just so incompetently bad that you know it won’t last very long. They’re playing with lives but it’s American lives, they’re getting what they wanted

    The oligarchy reacts with laugh-crying emojis to the suffering of the common man.

    For the likes of Sieg Heiling Space Karen and their ilk, I’ll continue adding mine to corporate obituary announcements resulting from the consequences of the unspoken class war.

    We need to further expose these kinds of happenings.

    The greatest weakpoint of fascism is the exposal of its cruelty. They have to hide behind “concerns for the common good”, while in reality, they see them as nothing more than when a school bully convinces their teachers that their targets were the ones “starting it”. Cruelty was the main reason I left the far-right, then “moderate conservatism”. They just gaslight not only others with their lies, but themselves too.

      Unfortunately I don’t think it’ll work here. For republicans and most supporters: cruelty is the point. They want to see their enemies lose. They revel in “liberal tears” and lust for the downfall of their adversaries. They’re sick in an emotional way. Elon is on record saying empathy is a weakness.

      They’re all sociopaths. They only care about money and power for them, anything that prohibits that is an enemy.

    How Vizzachero didn’t greet Elon by reaching over and hugging Elon tightly around the neck until he decided to catch some permanent shuteye is beyond me.

    Welp, time for the USA to strip 100% of StupElon’s wealth just because. Then the USA will send thoughts, prayers, and laughing emojis to his direction.

    There’s a few people that should be dismissed alright, and I’m sure most people can guess who…
