He would love to be able to say X was shutdown, sounds muuuuuch better than X ran out of money because he ran it into the ground.

He tried to do the same suing the advertisers who boycotted him. It wasn't about the lawsuit, it was about having something to point at when it collapsed.

God, Harris should make that a campaign ad. Vote for me and I'll arrest Elon Musk. Fastest way to earn my vote in the history of mankind.

God I wish those two were half as cool as these clowns say they are

As if the Kamala/Waltz ticket isn't an extension of the current administration, why would they wait?

Is this where we sign up for the Nyo-TayTay-mori?

Don't threaten us with a good time

Why would she even be thinking about him on her first day? Who does he think he is? He's just a weird man with too much money.

If a Democratic president is willing and able to arrest him immediately why haven't they done it in the past three years? Does he think Biden is a bastion of free speech in the party?

I say like I don't know it's because it's just baseless scaremongering not aimed at people who will put a modicum of critical thought into it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or he thinks that Harris especially hates him for some reason. I've never heard her even mention him.

Elon Musk vs Kamala Harris:

[–] Tidesphere 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This just reads to me like he did something super illegal, and his only hope to avoid arrest is a Trump win.

[–] Anticorp 18 points 1 month ago

Why would he care? Trump is evidence that the rich and powerful never need to face any actual consequences. Even after being convicted of 43 felonies, the dude is running around free, campaigning for president with impunity and zero consequences.

It's Harris/Walz. Just because she is a woman doesn't mean she doesn't have a last name.

Billionaires are truly the most persecuted.

I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?

I don't follow him and the moment his tweets pushed to my notifications, I immediately deleted my account and deleted the app.

[–] uberdroog 22 points 1 month ago

We can only hope. Thoughts and prayers.

[–] someguy3 20 points 1 month ago

Persecution complex.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could it be that he's making the calculation that if Kamala's elected, Tesla will be fine anyways, but if Trump gets elected, everything helping electric car makers will go to shits except Tesla, because of his nauseating brown nosing?

Or is his brain just shit and rot? Was it always, or what happened??

[–] Tyfud 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He's worried about his government contracts being pulled with space X and them coming after him for tax revenue so he pays his fair share.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Cocaine makes you think some crazy shit.

[–] ZILtoid1991 9 points 1 month ago

If Kamala/Walz win, their first move will be to ban Xitter and arrest Elon Musk

Woah (Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based!)

They need to overhaul the FCC and rework and reintroduce the Fairness doctrine and make sure it applies to social networks and that they have access to even the most hidden forms of moderation and how it's getting applied. It should be something rigorous enough that people should be able to issue violation complaints to authorities when breached that will actually be actionable, and it should have different standards between small social networks and large ones.

What I hate about social networks nowadays is how they try to pass off as something that is only surface level and they really make no effort being. Their biases and the sort of comments they are and aren't removing should be on full display, and not just the made up reasons they might stick as an excuse.

What was the name of that CEO the feds put in prison allegedly because he refused to let any of the alphabet agencies hook directly into the network?

[–] sazey 3 points 1 month ago

He wish he were that important to be on top of some revenge list.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge 2 points 1 month ago

Fuck of Elon go back to ruining shit it's all you're good at
