Tbf, I do want to see him dead.
At this point they might as well go back to trying to make a martyr out of the United Healthcare guy who's name I remember about as well as Elon Musk remembers what compassion is.
She’d a tear for the billionaire as he dismantles our social safety net to give his cronies a tax break.
There isn't much of a safety net to dismantle, but he'll find a way.
i mean, what did he expect if he threatens to slash social security? any attempt to slash social security is a declaration of war to the civil class; and if you're declaring war, you better be ready to die.
how can we respect their lifes if they don't respect our lifes?
slashing social security is murder, you have the right to self-defense.
Elon Musk is a real victim, inside of having "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime", now he only has "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime".
The people Musk told that empathy was bad don't have any empathy for Musk?
I forgot about that. It’s poetic.

All Americans worthy of the name want to kill Nazis.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand
This is the narrative Musk and Republicans want.
The protests and vandalism aren't hurting his brand.
They're another consequence of him openly being a fucking Nazi, which is what's hurting his brand.
It's not that complicated, but a shit ton of people keep missing the point
“I can excuse some nazism, but vandalism is where I draw the line!”
…you can excuse nazism?

I don't want you dead, Elon. I want you to be penniless and without anyone willing to loan you money anymore.
I don't want you dead, Elon.
Let's not be hasty, now.
Nah, they're right. Dead people can't suffer.
While he certainly deserves to suffer proportional to the suffering he's causing, top priority is stop him from causing more - if that means he ends up taking a bullet in a manner that renders him incapable of processing what's happening, I'll still count that as a good start.

He is such a ridiculous asswipe that it seems like he’s doing it on purpose to help distract from other billionaires falling in line or random horrible shit the administration is doing.
I doubt it’s an act, and I suspect he’s really just that much of an asswipe, but damn.

I don't want to kill Musk, but I'm not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.
Don't kill him. Just tax him like they would with a normal working person. That would throw him into a world of sufferung.

Imagine saying "They basically want me dead." and then wearing your child as a human shield. Father of the year.
Musk: Acts like a Nazi
Society: "A good Nazi is a dead Nazi."
Musk: "Y U DO THIS"
They say things like this because their base wants to kill people they dislike. Most people don't want to kill people they dislike, they want them to win three Guinness World Records for longest lasting, least operable, and largest hemorrhoids.
"Wahhhh! People I've demonized and repeatedly talk down to don't like me! Just because I'm destroying any positive programs the government has and taking your future safety nets away doesn't mean we can't still be friends!"
A core principal of a martyr is being widely liked. No one gives a shit about this dude. Even the people who he surrounds himself with don't give a flying fuck about the dude. Musk himself makes every interaction with him transactional. Add in his default behavior of being an 11 year old edgelord wrapped in a 50 something whale body with hair plugs that's awkward as fuck to be around, and yeah it's not hard to see why nobody likes this fucking billionaire with attachment issues.
Dude needs to ditch the ketamine and perhaps get actual therapy. And actually having a better diet and exercise regimen wouldn't hurt either.

Basically?
No, motherfucker. Literally.
And every article I see posted about Elons lame sorry ass further secures the aggressive positions I have taken against TSLA in the stock market.
Suffer, you petulant wealth goblin.
