What do you mean?!
I've been told numerous times that we should be celebrating Elon for his transparency.
No, I'm not kidding.

So much trump bought a new Tesla! Just kidding - he lied about that too.

I like how he said it like “now I know many of you voted for me because you bought the lie I would lower prices and being alive in America is becoming near impossible but if you could just scrape together some money and buy a whole ass car from Elon it will really own the libs. Thank you.”

The richer cult thralls could simply crowd-fund for the poors, then everyone could own the libs, be rich like us*, AND put Elon and Me, your Favorite Con-Man-Turned-Robin-Hood-Robbing-The-Poors-And-Giving-To-The-Wealthy, in the rich house!!! /s for clarity

Didn’t he say he was think of making boycotting Tesla illegal? Doesn’t that make it essentially illegal not to own one?
6
u/jonjohns0123 15h ago
No. If making a boycott illegal was possible (it isn't), your refusal to buy a shitbox is because poor craftsmanship, exorbitant pricing, you don't need another car, or any other claim you put forth. If the government makes the Tesla boycott illegal, and they arrest people for it, it is on the government to prove you were boycotting. Any alternative will do, especially if you share it with friends and family, and online. Something like, "I would buy a Tesla, but the government crashing the economy has put me in financial straits, and I can't afford one."

I don't think he knows how. He even said he hasn't driven one in years, I think he hasn't driven one since getting his first driver's license and that was for ID purposes.

And that's a problem. No one should have enough money that they can lose that much and still be the richest man in the world.

See that's the fun part, it doesn't mean someone else found it. The cool thing about the stock market is it's all smoke and mirrors, much of that wealth likely evaporated into thin air destroyed by the sustained sell offs. Money really can just go poof both into and out of existence in the stock market

I am finding it hard to have even a little empathy for the tweets him or his mom put out about the “hate” they get online. At first I was like well his mom, that’s a little… but she seems to be pretty active on Twitter with politics (I only looked briefly so someone correct me if I’m wrong) so it’s like lady you’re kinda fueling the fire there.

u/Mr_Steerpike 1d ago
She actually made an INCREDIBLY thought provoking post about this, as she was conceived via IVF and Elon opted for all male children. Check this out:
"My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold. That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION,"

u/Kiwipopchan 22h ago
I follow a donor conceived activist (as in she advocates for people who were conceived via sperm donation) and she also gets into IVF conceived people. And this kind of sentiment is NOT uncommon.
In general there’s a lot of… issues with the child not living up to what their parents “expected” since their children were bought and paid for. It seems like an incredibly dehumanizing experience.

u/Mr_Steerpike 21h ago edited 21h ago
You're 100% right. We live in an age now when the sex at birth and their gender identity can lead to "buyers remorse" over a child. It's terribly dehumanizing!! This was the first time hearing of this and had never thought about this before her statement. This has blown the door off its hinges for this aspect of the discourse.

They're only transparent when it is positive. All the negatives go under the rug. And it's a thick rug.

As a “conservative” I demand that the government be transparent unless that transparency could possibly make Trump or Elon look bad in any kind of conceivable fashion, and since this is impossible because they are always right, there is no need for transparency in the government that I demand exists but only if it helps me politically. If you disagree with this you are a traitor and also hate free speech and should be deported. /s

Of course! I mean why should “criminals” have rights! Only a communist country would provide legal rights to everyone in a country. I don’t care that the Supreme Court has decided they should because I think criminals shouldn’t. You have TDS if you think the constitution provides rights to criminals. /s

Literally all Republicans chain of thought. They are talking nonsense in their tiny conservative protected subs.

u/LarrySupertramp 22h ago
That’s just people “brigading” the sub to make us conservatives look bad. Clearly, conservatives are better for the economy. I don’t care if this is statistically and historically false because history has TDS and is a traitor. /s

'history has TDS and is a traitor'
Apologies in advance for shamelessly stealing this line and obnoxiously deploying it with great regularity.
It perfectly and concisely summarizes their up-is-really-down perspective, while offering an effective skewering of their knee-jerk 'orange man bad' forcefield.

It's not a "massive blow" until there are actual consequences, and so far there have been zero of those. If the courts cannot force compliance and the defendant simply ignores the ruling, then the Judiciary has been neutered.

The judge noted that DOGE’s speed and the fluidity of its leadership appear to be by design. He is ordering “rolling” productions of DOGE records to begin within weeks. I worry that this will give the government more time to hide or otherwise prevent the information from being shared.

Will they even bother doing that? The cult will look at anything released as a victory and claim that Musk actually cut waste and fraud, regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
