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.
I think Musk is a necessary catalyst for any resistance movement. He is so evil, unlikable, unhinged and too powerful; a wet dream for any author who writes dystopian novels.
If he did not exist I would fear that the nascent American protest movement would just evaporate like before. But here, literally one can just point to this bastard instead of arguing politics, and it generates waves of hate.
My mom is a lifetime Republicsn who up until last year was on a pure reactionary right feed on Facebook. She’s basically turned 180° in just the last few months, and while it started with her immediate gut-level dislike for Vance, it was driven home by her imnediate, gut-level dislike for Musk. It’s now expanded out to criticizing (and laughing at) Trump and the rest of the would-be oligarchs, and she’s moved from Facebook to Reddit and is already trying to decide which Democrats she’s going to vote for.
And while it actually started with Vance, it was almost entirely Musk (or as she referred to him for quite a while - “What’s his name - the asshole co-president”) who accomplished the most to drive her away from the party she’d supported her entire life.
And I assume she’s far from alone.
Have you thanked JD Vance even once for nudging your mum onto a slightly more sane trajectory?
It’s tempting - it would be greatvto be able to say something like, “I just want to thank you for being such an insufferable asshole that you were the catalyst that started the process that ended with my mom becoming a Democrat.”
But I assume it would be lost on him. Like both Trump and Musk, I assume he’s determinedly oblivious to the fact that he’s an asshole
She’ll be permanently banned from Reddit for criticizing Musk. Trust me. They’re cleaning house. Because they’re cunts, and Spez is a little bitch.
Maybe by then we can welcome her here!
I wonder what that feels like. I mean it’s good for your mom and everyone around her, but is she looking back thinking that she shoul’ve known better or does she think republicans devolved since this year? I’m still so disgusted to just think about the time Musk was in a super hero movie, portraying him as basically the closest thing to Tony Stark.
Or when he build that shitty submarine to save these children. The tweet that said: Please Mr. Musk, you are the closest thing to Tony Stark that we have, please help these children… That shit still haunts me.
Are you sure she’s just not going to vote for the next Charismatic Republican that strikes her fancy, do you think she really understands. It sounds like she’s just going off a gut feeling, which is helpful but not healthy in the long-term
The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He’s truly revolting to anyone who sees him.
All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. Ive heard his dick doesn’t work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.
So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they’ll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he’s so fucking wierd.
It fills me with such glorious schadenfreude to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying “Money can’t buy happiness.”
