Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsA friend had a very wise take on the Atlantic "Musk Fall From Grace" piece. Musk's "feelings" mean Jack SHIT.
He shared a screenshot promo for the Atlantic article and came to the conclusion that it was bullshit, that what's happening right now is an attempt to either humanize Musk OR seek sympathy / empathy for the fact that so many people hate his sociopathic ass.
Then came my friend's conclusion.
Nothing...N-O-T-H-I-N-G...matters MORE than the DAMAGE he has inflicted on this country.
I don't give a FUCK if he as kids who won't speak to him.
I don't give a FUCK if MOST Republicans hated him within MINUTES of meeting him.
I don't give a FUCK about ANY of the blowback at his Tesla dealerships.
I don't give a FUCK if he's butt hurt over being called a Nazi after throwing two Nazi salutes.
I don't give a FUCK about Wisconsin NOT BEING AMUSED when he showed up in a cheese head hat.
He's a smug, arrogant, sociopathic attention whore, a bully like Trump, who sees "empathy" as a fundamental weakness, unless he's crying about his own situation. TO HELL WITH HIM, and to HELL with any articles that attempt to paint a sympathetic picture of a man who BROUGHT ALL OF THIS ON HIMSELF.
The elder Musk claimed that the South African-born tech billionaires brashness would lead to him failing to communicate with the public.
The U.S. Constitution also states that a president must be a natural-born citizen who is at least 35-years-old.
Elon is not cut out for politics, Errol Musk said Monday. Politics is where you have to deal with everyone, from the very incredibly clever to the very somewhat not clever, the highly sophisticated to the very unsophisticated. If you cant do that, dont get into politics.

(66,701 posts)I read an article that made it sound like Trump's cabinet were reasonable people fighting off Musk.
This is bullshit. They're all horrible people. They were all brought onboard on purpose, to wreck things. Musk is horrible and so is everybody else in TrumpCo..

(19,334 posts)I've said all along that IF and WHEN the economic situation improves, AFTER Trump's tariffs, he WILL take a VICTORY LAP for it.
He CAUSED it, and if and when it turns around...and we may come back "less economically healthy," he'll strut around like a rooster.
We've seen that too many times to not know it's coming.
And yeah...the other thing I've said since January 20th is that Trump's PRIMARY goal...apart from his crypto scam and dubious exchanges with foreign leaders in an effort to enrich himself financially...is to punish America for electing Biden in 2020.
And, with the amount of damage Musk inflicted, he met that goal, and can step back and say "Hey...Elon did this, not me."
That's how a scumbag like Trump rolls.
