same. i've been downvoting any posts about him because it's always some bullshit. it's never anything good.
This is him getting loudly and publicly booed, which I personally consider good.
The sad part is, I think that’s what he wants. He seems to be a believer in the whole any attention is good attention.
What he wants is immaterial. This isn't a good sign for him and the BS contrarian "bad things said about or happening to are actually good for instert-right-winger-here" is delusional coping

Don't let this clown go anywhere without letting him know how much everyone hates his ass.
If we can’t take his money, this is the next best thing
Let’s just hope he doesn’t have a humiliation/degradation kink.

Why chant bring back Twitter, I mean if it was rebranded back to Twitter, it's still owned by Elon and it's still shit.
The new name alone isn't what made Twitter crap, but it is symbolic of the massive changes made to the site by the new management. I like to think of it this way: Twitter is dead. X is the reanimated corpse.
X is modern New Coke. At this point, I'm not even sure which of the worst CEOs I'd compare musk to. He's like all of their worst traits rolled into one. I have no doubt there's some weird financial accounting going on at Tesla, just that they haven't been found out just yet. His involvement into the crypto sphere and with doge should have thrown up regulatory alarm bells already.
There's only so much you can say in a chant. Not a lot of room for nuance...

I would say specifically because he loves his precious X so much, thinks it's such a great idea, that it's a good chant.
Twitter was shit before Musk bought it. It's just even worse now.

I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone else with a working brain but let's be honest, the world would be an infinitely better place if Twitter died lol
Maybe. But the fact is that it was used by people in uprisings. It is a powerful tool for the people. There is a reason why wealthy people from the middle east backed and funded musk taking it over. They wanted to take away a tool used by the people in revolution.
It probably contributed to a lot of stupidity and human suffering, but it also could have been used to great effect if us common folk could have learned to wield it appropriately. The rich and powerful were afraid of it, that alone should tell you that it's death is a bad thing.

Fuck Musk. He built an entire automotive platform on the concept of "sustainable transportation" and took those on the right to task for denying climate change. NOW he's supporting the POS GOP candidate that had the audacity to call climate change a "hoax" repeatedly at the debate. Fuck you Elon!
Dude Elon never did anything. Only people he paid with emerald slave money did.

Ehz he didn't built an automotive platform. Other people did that, he bought it and green it mostly through controversy and by now it's quite clear that Tesla's are quite shit to own and drive.

Sued the owners to force them into calling Elon a founder.
Elon didn't even found the company. He just sick'd his lawyers on the founders and bought his way into the "founder" title.

Him showing up to a Valorant tournament is some next level "how do you do fellow kids". Like, what's his business being there? I mean, if you told me that he secretly just spends his days playing Valorant and shitposting on twitter, it would make a lot of sense.

Do you guys think there's a part of him that realizes that people dislike him for a legitimate reason? I mean, he started out being the darling of the internet, when he was in the early stages with SpaceX and Tesla. His cult of personality was pretty large. Obviously he still has fanboys, but he has to realize that he ended up on the fringe, right? Right?
No way in hell. He thinks everyone is just jealous, not realizing that most of us don't want the problems that come with being ultra-rich, we just think he is a spoiled brat.

Haven't drugs been used as an explanation for his mammoth missteps with Twitter? Because the way this guy is piloting the ship, he's going to crash it into Prince William Sound at any moment. They'll be scrubbing stupid posts off the seabirds for months.
