We need to teach him to be scared of us.

He made a bunch of his cars bulletproof and even a couple that can withstand a chemical attack. I think he's been scared the whole time.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

His personal cars or do you mean the cybertruck? Because if it's the latter then it's not quite as bulletproof as advertised.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good luck. He can afford a personal army to protect him.

With military-grade weapons? I doubt it.

With how loosy-goosy the US is with weapons purchasing? There's a chance.

There's also a chance that Musk's security forces will spray bullets into the crowd from sniper positions.

If that ever happened, itd push the guillotines out overnight.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure it would. Just like all the other "if this happens, the guillotines will come out" events where that didn't occur when it happened.

I don't disagree with you that society as a whole has become spineless. People who stand up in defense of anything morally correct are rarely backed up anymore.

That being said, the scenario you put forth is a huge leap from the slow suffocation that is currently happening. A billionaire/CEO/tyrant/shadowpresident spraying bullets into an innocent crowd is a huge leap that would be neigh impossible to not have people lose their shit over.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Your average billionaire? Sure. Elon? He would probably enjoy it and then make jokes about it on Twitter.

Yeah him to hold still until the end of time.
