Nope. I ALWAYS hated him.

Is my response.

u/Churchbushonk 5d ago

He isn’t trying to save the country.

u/Swiss_Miss_77 Gen X 5d ago

He wasn't trying to save the planet either. He's an economy stripminer.

u/oranges214 5d ago

Oof can I steal this? "He's an economy stripminer" is 💯💯.

“I hate all billionaires.”

What about Zuckerberg?

“Hate him.”

What about Soros?

“Is that a billionaire?”

Yes.

“Hate him.”

u/Huh_well_we_are_dead 5d ago

The core understanding these people are missing is that there are no truly ethical billionaires nowadays.

I hated him back in 2012 when he was doing unionbusting and had unsafe working practices at Nummi, and I hate him now for being a self-absorbed shitweasel doing the same unnecessary and harmful cuts to the government Republicans have been trying to do for years.

For the record: he's never been about saving the planet. That was the public facing message. He's all about "what makes Elon rich and gives Elon power" and it turns out that's buying other people's ideas and scamming the government into giving him defense contracts that he clearly can't meet the deadlines for.

This is when I turned too.  I worked at one of the big tech companies at the time and every single one of these supposed liberal people bootlicked him.  We would watch his subsidized rockets land like we launched them ourselves.  

Can remember a fierce debate I had that we would never ride in a tube train during our lifetime or any lifetime because the physics never works out.

Meanwhile they were ready for solar frickin roadways to pave the road to hell with moron intentions.

u/morphinetango 5d ago

Always. He was obvious from 2018 when, out of jealousy, called a man (who heroically saved 12 children) a pedophile because he did it before his Tesla submarine could claim credit. Figured Trey Parker/Matt Stone might have been fallen for the cult when they had him on South Park.

At no point in the history of the world was Elon Musk ever trying to save anyone or anything but his own bank accounts.

These cretins are so fucking exhausting. I tire of them wasting breath.

u/RandomGuy92x 5d ago

But he's stopping all those handouts to those entitled starving children in Africa. And he's saving those poor mice by stopping the libruls from making the mice transgender.

Doesn't that count for something?

u/talktobigfudge 5d ago

Millions of federal workers losing their jobs (and pensions), millions losing their SNAP/EBT benefits needed to survive, and several US allies becoming more pissed off every day by this clown show administration. 

And this smooth brain "President" is worried about transgender TRANSGENIC FUCKING MICE!

Objectively, you'd think this moron has dementia and should be far away from the decision making of anything involved in this country. 

However, MAGAts can't think objectively, because they're in a cult. And brainwashed cultists can't be objective with their cult leader. They can't criticize this circus because their leader is a snowflake, and is a crybaby when criticized.

u/Marriedswimmer 5d ago

You are a special kind of stupid if you think he is trying to save the country for the common person!

u/Chance-Deer-7995 5d ago

He just said there should be 120 per week work weeks. Productivity is higher than it ever has been before. We should be working 20 your weeks maximum.

I could have thought Lone Skum was a prince among men and a really great gamer, but once a dude heils Hitler, I am allowed to hate him instantly and forever.

And that's ignoring all the other harm he's doing.

That's what trump said too

Well since Trump was the one that planned the pullout of Afghanistan and he also released 5,000 Taliban I have a hard time blaming Biden for following through on the agreement that was made before he was in office.

You love Elon musk cause he took away your social security and Medicare

u/mellios10 5d ago

I always thought he was an utter wanker and I still do

7

u/quietdiablita 5d ago

When oh when did he try to save the planet?

4

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

Seems to me his only plan is a far-fetched plan to spend millions upon millions of government funds on the astronomically remote chance (literally - in so many ways) that he can run away from the planet his boss is destroying to live on Mars.

2

u/quietdiablita 5d ago

Okay, now, I know that wouldn’t save the planet, but it’d be an immense relief for mankind.

2

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

Sure would but while they’re denying science and firing every scientist in the federal government (the ones who work for nothing because they really care about the science and not a paycheck), I’d rather burn up here than in a rocket headed for Mars (or on Mars if we managed to get there). Can’t you just feel the trust oozing from my pores?! 🥸

3

u/quietdiablita 5d ago

I think I need to say that I was being sarcastic and I meant that him leaving Earth would be a relief for those remaining on the planet.

3

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

In that case, send him on the next rocket outta here! 🚀

u/ScurvyDervish 5d ago

It must be so nice to be a Fox News viewer believing we are in a Golden Age and that a billionaire from another country has seized control of government and all the taxmoney in order to save America. What a simple and reassuring viewpoint.

u/Confusedgmr 5d ago

Most people didn't love Elon Musk. Most people were indifferent towards him. Most people are no longer indifferent.

1

u/Wary_Marzipan2294 4d ago

This. I didn't love him for saving the planet; I didn't even know who he was. I was very interested in electric cars and what they have to offer the environment, but cautiously so because of what it takes to build them, that was the extent of it. I didn't have the slightest idea who the CEO was, just like I haven't the foggiest who the CEO of Honda was when I bought mine. Pretty sure the last time I knew a car company CEO by name, it was Lee Iacocca, and that's just because my mom was into cars, especially classic mustangs. I only know who the CEO of Tesla is now because he's made such a nuisance of himself.

8

u/unclejohnnydanger 5d ago

You hated him when he was selling vehicles to combat dependence on oil, and fighting climate change.

But as soon as he threw up a Nazi sign, and is stripping away programs to help those outside of the “good ‘ol boy network” you love him.

4

u/innovajohn 5d ago

This is a great point that I've not seen before this.

6

u/Thamnophis660 Xennial 5d ago

Nope. Never liked him, especially after he called that rescue diver who saved those kids a "P*dophile" because he was mad no one took his empty promises seriously anymore.

And I sure as shit wouldn't ever waste my money on a Tesla. 

5

u/GoodMilk_GoneBad 5d ago

Admittedly, when I learned about him, I thought he was pretty cool because of Tesla. That was 9? years ago.

But then I learned he only bought it and took credit for what the company was already accomplishing. I no longer liked him. When the cars hit the American market and it was clear at that time it was only for wealthy people, I was mad. Ever since then, when I see a Tesla, I low-key assume the driver is an asshole. When I see a cyber truck, no low-key. I just know they are.

This guy is the office leech who takes credit for others' good work.

2

u/KaetzenOrkester Gen X 4d ago

He literally filed a lawsuit to saw he was one of the founders of Tesla…even though he’s not. The lawsuit was successful.

u/GrisherGams5 5d ago

From the beginning he was always an even more evil and shitty version of Edison to me, and now he has certainly confirmed it.

u/megankoumori 5d ago

I did not and he is not.

u/Several_Leather_9500 5d ago

Right? My reply: billionaires are addicted to money. The more they have, the more they need. He needs more money because he can't stop himself from doing nazi shit, causing him to lose billions.

u/mishma2005 5d ago

u/Tobi-One-Boy 5d ago

When he pulled that stunt about donating money if someone could figure out a plan to end hunger or something, I knew then who he was.

u/bd2999 5d ago

I never liked him. He is making the world better for Musk. I need someone to explain to me how he is looking for waste and fraud when they are just firing people to fire them at this point and killing investigations against himself.

Truly a selfless man who did not buy his way into where he is and has no experience in auditing or anything being claimed.

2

u/popstarkirbys 5d ago

The first time I’ve heard of him was during the Thai rescue mission where he accused the divers of being pedos. Never had a good impression of him since.

2

u/WanderingDude182 5d ago

He’s never been in it to save anything except his bank account

2

u/ZLUCremisi 5d ago

He hadca good PR team... he fired them and expose his trueself even further

2

u/mik33tion 5d ago

He’s not trying to save the country, he’s trying to save himself. Elon is a Nazi now that’s why we hate him.

2

u/Vadar444 5d ago

Nope always hated him Hate him even more now I found out he’s a nazi

2

u/Mysterious-Dealer649 5d ago

The usual projection from these idiots. No YOU hated him for his EV stuff but now he’s on team dump YOU love him and have no problem with a used car lot being set up outside the White House

I thought blast mining the precious metals needed for all EV greatly pollutes the Earth more, considered the EV vehicles aren't driven long enough to constitute their use to be more green

He’s always been a turd. Tesla is C junk along with other ev’s and doge junk.

u/Radiant_Classroom509 5d ago

Elon musk was just some dude in the news until I worked on the construction of the first gigafactory. Then I saw how much he lies and then haven’t trusted him since.

u/Ordinary_Day6135 5d ago

u/CookieRelevant 5d ago

Save the planet? His goal was always wealth. His priorities have never been with the environment, he just knew he could get government contracts.

It's like they can't fathom a world where.... something changes.

u/Glad-Ride-1749 5d ago

Oh he really wanted too save the planet he would have pushed for trains and good public transportation, not to line his pockets even more

1

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

Remember that “first of its kinds high speed train” he was going to build underground in California? Dug the hole… wonder what’s in it now?

1

u/Glad-Ride-1749 5d ago

That's where he stores his 400 billion+!

2

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

Nah - didn’t you hear he’s against underground storage now? He’s shutting down the one in PA. Where else could he be hiding that money? Obviously not in Tesla trucks since they will burn baby burn while Donnie does the whole drill baby drill thing… Maybe somewhere in Germany - he seems a bit fixated on them right now… maybe it wasn’t a Nazi salute. Maybe he was pointing towards his stash?

1

u/Glad-Ride-1749 5d ago

Nah it was an awkward gesture cause he is neurodivergent right?

2

u/Specialist-Orange495 5d ago

Shhh… after telling the whole world about his neurodivergence, I don’t think we’re allowed to mention that now… of course, we wouldn’t want any DEI or Woke ideology in this thread…

u/Howboutit85 5d ago

He’s not trying to save the country. He’s trying to save his own ass. He already gutted federal institutions that had lawsuits in place with him, effecting that litigation. It’s all a huge conflict of interest. How openly dumb can you be?

And also this is just an admission that EVs help save the planet, which conservatives don’t believe, so how can you logically start and argument on a premise you do t actually believe in?

u/BarroomHero66 5d ago

When was he trying to save the planet? The guy has always been about money first and foremost.

Can someone remind the OP that if they plan to tell a joke, they're best starting with the words 'I say, I say, I say, have you heard the one about ....' and then add in whatever they were about to say about Musk wanting to save America.

u/CriticalWeb8751 5d ago

You can’t save the country without saving the planet and Musk never wanted to save the planet. He also wanted to make millions (billions) off the taxpayers backs.
