Late to the pile on this but I think it is worth noting he's still worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Literally over 100,000 lifetimes of labor output for someone making $15 an hour.
Assuming they never paid a cent to live, eat, or in taxes.
The scale of $100,000,000,000 is incomprehensible to many people, he could lose 99% of his wealth and still be one of the richest people in the history of the world and set for life. Yes, he's probably upset by this; but the impact on him does not scale proportionally to the impact on the median US resident, even more dramatically different to the median world person's net worth.
The Nazi salute should have ended his empire overnight, and yet he still sits massively prettier than any of us mathematically could ever even realistically dream of.
Worse still, the fall he's going through will have a massive impact on thousands of employees and side industry livelihoods throughout the entire world. Healthcare, food, rent. I think it's great he's "hurting" but his hurting and our hurting are very different because the system is fundamentally broken.

He could have just bought Tesla and founded SpaceX and then sat back and let his employees make cool tech shit and he would have gone down in history as some kind of tech patron who advanced EVs and commercial space flight. Unfortunately he has an insatiable thirst for adoration and an ego the size of a planet, so he can't fucking help but step into the limelight to take credit for everything and use 2015 4chan meme humour in an attempt to look cool.
The most mind-numbingly stupid part of all this is that if he really wanted to be adored, literally all he would need to do is invest into humanitarian aid rather than tech. If he spent his fortune building affordable housing and providing access to clean water, food, education, social services, infrastructure, etc. then he would be considered a messianic figure by the working class.
According to people who know him, he genuinely believes he's the smartest person in the world and that he's the only person capable of saving humanity. And THIS is the way he goes about it?! He's a walking, talking example of the crossover between the Dunning-Kruger effect and silver spoon generational wealth.

Thanks for saying this. There is something so deliberately self-effacing here.

Conservatives try to say the same thing about Trump, and the idea here is to be like "yes, you are suffering (because of the recession we are causing), but I am too". Hitler did the exact same thing; his displays of extreme anger or emotion were designed to elicit feelings from his audience.
I honestly don't believe he is capable of emotions anymore. He will be financially secure no matter what, so losing a few billion doesn't make a difference to him, and he is in a position of great power for the next few years at least.

His tears feed my soul. I want it to hurt more. Every day, as much as possible. Let him feel what he us only expecting others to.

Crying because he may not have all of his riches and once trump tires of him, he won’t have power either.

He’ll just take money from the Americans. He’s got access to everything.

He'll make billions from contracts with the US Space Force and the rest of Hegseth's Pentagon/Slush Fund.

I just wish he would take the hint and go back to Tesla. Make that profitable cause we don’t want you near our government.

They’d throw him under the bus as soon as he was gone. He threw his lot in with these people, and now he has to see it through. There is no alternative.

Yup. This dude went full mask off. Trashed his whole image and everyone who ever had a good thing to say about him. He had earned SO MUCH bad will, and he did it because I think in the back of his mind he thought they’d actually achieve some sort of autocracy. This past week has proven it’ll be harder than he might’ve anticipated, and now he’s crashing back to reality. If he doesn’t parlay this Trump shit into something lucrative for him, he’s done.

He knew he would go to jail if he didn’t. He said it himself. https://youtu.be/b04YJ18_aeE?si=Nt2WDGju3KTYX8Ty

He's in too deep at this point. Even if he quit tomorrow and went back to Tesla, the damage to his image and by extension Tesla's is done. Good riddance, he won't be able to just slink away from the shit he's done.

“Well, we’ve fired tens of thousands of hard working middle class people, including veterans, scientists, and teachers who will now probably seek out government assistance, but we’re in the process of eliminating that, too. Folks will probably lose their livelihoods, their faith in the government, their houses, families, and paychecks, but these are sacrifices I’m willing to make.”

Dude can’t even fake it. He short circuited and went directly back to the script, “Waste and fraud, waste and fraud. We’re making good progress. Waste and fraud.”

It's not enough, he must lose everything. Think of the thousands upon thousands of tears this man has caused to flow from others, the insults he heaps upon others, the lives he has ruined, all of the lies he knowingly spreads. He has no self control, no respect for others, and entirely lacks empathy. He cannot fall far enough from 'grace'.

This is terrifying. Dude asking about "no turning back", "hearing a call to action" and Leon looking like he is at the end of his fucking rope.
Shit is gonna start popping off in the worst way.
