Musk offers to buy Twitter

[GermanSuplex]

yeah, but it’s simple to solve. Just fire everyone responsible for the supercharger network and new car development. That will make the libs come back.

Put a decal of people in MAGA hats shooting puppies on the cars, and put a sign in the window that reads “This car given complete freedom to kill you.”

That’s how the GOP is selling itself these days, they may be able to stop the customer bleeding if they resort to some tried and true tactics. Maybe give the models right-leaning names.

“The new all-white Supremacist Series - comes in your choice of white, off-white, cream or bronze tan models. Color options limited, lower financing rates not available to Jews.”

I can see his employees hating him…as in worker “ your expendable in spades!”

Nobody works for or has the capacity to "earn" 56 billion dollars - cash, stock, bonds, property, or otherwise.

The only way someone amasses that much money is through a broken system. What a joke.

The right somehow takes that critique and changes it to "Hey, Bernie isn't a bum and neither is Joe!", as if there isn't a wide area between digging in the garbage for dinner and billions of dollars.

Hey now, since Tesla’s stock is collapsing their CEO would only get a measly 47 billion dollars! That has layers …

If they are found to have lied I wonder what the punishment would be. It is also somewhat annoying that they waited 7 years to investigate.

I wonder how long it is until Trump invites Musk over again and promises to make this “go away” if he can pay his legal fees.

Maybe he will offer Musk the chance to fund his campaign like he reportedly did some Oil Executives.

Here is another semi-related story: some 800 people shut down a Gigafactory near Berlin. They were protesting expansion plans that are claimed would have a very bad environmental impact on the region.

Listened to an interview with Silicon Valley Rep Ro Khanna who was asked what he thinks is behind the far right leanings of Musk and some others in Silicon Valley. To his credit he didn’t dodge the question. He believes it’s at least partially due to contrarianism. They believe they gained their success through thinking outside the box so they have to buck the trends and consensus on literally everything.

Republicans hate electric cars, I guess it makes sense why Musk is in bed with the far-right.

You know, it's such a shame that Musk is a racist, right-winger. If he was democrat, maybe he would just keep this defect quiet - as it would almost certainly target the Republicans more.

Republicans in my state hate his cars.

I mean, it makes sense. Trump is purely transactional and easily manipulated. If I were Elon, I’d pull Putin into it somehow, just make up something false like a USA/Russia electric car alliance, make Trump really swoon and want to reward your fake “loyalty”. If you don’t care about your country or anything other than your own wealth and power, a useful idiot like Trump can be very lucrative. Just tweet something nice about him and you can literally own a piece of his incontinent ass.

Remember when Trump wanted a cyber security alliance wirh Russia?

The man is a muppet, he’s literally giving away his second term for a donation.

I've never got this about Musk, the people who worship him the most hate both his car and green energy platform. But look at the money he blew and losses he took with Twitter just to win them over? Like any good bond villain though he's mentally unstable.

he was born on third base, in a country with an extreme history of institutional racism, and thinks he hit a home run.
