Of course he is. His stocks are extremely overvalued and he has leveraged them to hell and back.
-
Maybe he should kill himself.
-
Say what you want about Hitler, but he killed Hitler.
-
-
Good. He's actively making the world a worse place for everyone else. He should feel bad.
-
Well, that really is uplifting news. For me that is, not for that fuckhead.
-
There's not really any news in that article.
Notably, Musk said he would be stepping back from DOGE after May but didn’t go into any detail about what that would mean. Even though he said he would be easing up on his involvement, the billionaire said that he would remain in the government through President Trump’s entire term,
This is meaningless.
-
And do you know how to know it is meaningless... it starts with "musk said". Everything after that is worthless.
-
stepping back from DOGE after May
Appointed temporary government employee which means he only could work until June without congressional approval. Set this up from the start to take heat off of Trump and allow Trump to seem reasonable compared to Musk when Trump 'fires' him in June.
-
I'm aware of that, but obviously the concept of "work" doesn't apply to Musk as it does to government employees generally.
He will have the same influence and whatever level of involvement he wants regardless of whether he's a temporary government employee, a consultant, or just a contact.
-
-
This is very meaningful, the stock market will start growing again and everyone who managed to buy more shares around the 7-8th of April will become insanely rich in a very short span of time. And those who got scared and sold will continue crying that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
-
yeah and also, so what?
-
-
He’s leaving Trumps team to spend more time at Tesla. The one thing that would benefit Tesla is him spending less time there.
-
Building a business and getting involved in politics is financial suicide 99% of the time. It's one thing to work behind the scenes but to be the poster boy is just reckless. It is a tragic situation because Tesla was the only EV company in competition with the Chinese and now the Chinese will dominate global EV sales.
-
Refreshing news!
-
extremely
yet, not enough, if his troglodyte head still has the same amount of stupid holes.
-
Can’t read the article due to being at work but the title makes me smile. His actions actually have consequences. However, I’m curious whether it actually ‘hits’ his wealth.
-
It's a start but we can do better, guys
-
"Oh no! The consequences of my actions!"
Nah fuck this guy. We need to make Nazis unforgivable again. None of this halfway bullshit or trying to see their side of the story.
-
He will never feel any external consequences.
Best we can hope for is a bout of depression that'll make him do something we all won't regret.-
I want him to lose it so badly that he starts blaming this administration for everything that happened to him and starts going off against them. That'd be hilarious.
-
-
-
Oh no, please don't hang yourself Mr Elmo, that would be such a waste of good rope.
-
Never you worry about the rope. Trump will sell that bad boy to the hundreds of thousands of his most devoted loyalists for a mere $499,999.
-
Yes, but on the other hand, he would create a new national holiday
-
Oh don't worry, he won't kill him self, he'll just increase his ketamine stupor. Hopefully to the point he becomes incapable of making anymore decisions, especially decisions that affect other people.
-
Not if he uses some chunky thick new rope to really draw out the suffocation.
-
-
Hope he fucking dies.
-
Wow. I mean, just wow...my new socks are really soft and cushy.
Also, I agree.
-
Nothing beats a fresh sock.
-
-
-
You are a piece of shit and now everyone in the entire world knows it. There's no coming back.
With all that money and influence you had the chance to make a real difference but instead you decided to be a greedy disgusting fuck.
No one gives a shit about you. Go to Mars and live out your pathetic existence.
-
Yeah there's really no coming back from this. He could go to work at Testa 14 days per week and it wouldn't make any difference. That brand is toast.
-
-
Those with Ketamine OD on their bingo cards are getting excited.
-
"Starting early next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] will drop significantly," Musk said. Musk said he'd continue to spend a day or two per week at DOGE, but said he will be "allocating far more of my time" to Tesla.
Tesla stock jumped 5% in after-hours trading after Musk's disclosure.
Ah.
-
If that depresses him, we need more of it. Much more.
-
Oh no! Anyways…
-
fuck you fascist musk and the rest of the facist class trators that need to be shredded in a woodchipper then eaten by pigs.
-
Perhaps a bit off topic but I miss when Black Mirror had pigs in it and wasn‘t just all about „we are so fucked, like soooo fucked you guys“. In hindsight rest of the series could never really live up to the pilot where politicians got eaten alive by the mob.
-
Fuck Elon but also fuck eastern civilization just as much as western, because humans all over the earth are shit, and no one should side with anyone of these authoritarian cunts
-
-
Darn, too bad he isn't depressed enoigh to drive one of his Teslas into a swimming pool.
-
My money is on autoerotic asphyxiation
-
It seems drowning in a hot tub is a concern for ketamine addicts.
-
For some reason I read that as autocratic asphyxiation.
-
-
Give it time
-
That's not soon enough!
-
-
-
Im sorry but all the hate is well deserved. This guy is destroying everything, including America.
-
Take a toster shower, take a toster shower, take a toster shower...
-
What's the current news on his compensation package? I found https://www.investopedia.com/elon-musks-multi-billion-dollar-pay-package-8757243 -- but is this the latest?
Dunno what the fuck that board and those shareholders were thinking when they accepted that.
-
They were thinking "time to steal money from retail"
-
-
It's refreshing to see a major publication just flatly stating that he's a fascist.
-
Well, his parents are genuine, Bona Fide Nazis who wanted to move to apartheid South Africa from Canada.
-
-
How low do we have to get Tesla stock before he epstiens himself. Just give us the number man
-
before he gets murdered by cops?
-
Sell, now. Tesla is fucked, even if the board expels him.
-
-
It’s like he’s pissed off everyone.
-
Not everyone ... yet.
-
Getting there. That 4chan leak… oof.
-
-
-
Oh no, their profit was only $400M. Whatever will they do???
Schadenfreude is the lowest form of uplifting.
-
-
To be fair, there was a time most people DID like him. People forget, but the reason Tesla was innitially sucsessful is it was one of the only good electric cars at the time being sold by a leftist who wants to help the environment. And people loved him, both on reddit and twitter.
Then he went batshit crazy.
Now we're here.
-
It still gives me a little confident boost when I think about how liberal friends and family admitted that I was right about him the entire time.
The signs where there but people weren’t looking. Even when you explained it to them. It took at least a dozen of major missteps and blunders by him to finally make most people realize what he really is.
They kept telling themselves (and me) his good deeds will outweigh the bad ones when in reality those where cracks in the facade to show what lies underneath. They couldn‘t see the bright red flags for what they are because they thought it‘s about a balance between good and bad, not character qualities that can only lead down one road.
You’re wrong about one thing: He didn‘t go crazy. He always was.
-
They admired him when his PR team made him keep his mouth shut. The cave "Pedo" incident woke the decent people up to his true personality.
-
He always showed flashes of arrogance and I had heard working for any of his companies even back in the ”good days” was hell. It’s when he started exhibiting all this stuff publicly in the late 2010s that people understandably started turning on him.
-
-
-
hmmmm sounds like he hasn't quite learned the lesson yet
-
Narcissism is a helluva drug.
-
-
The Shareholders are making him SAD? Can we CHARGE them with Terrorism?
-
Time to take a massive amount of ketamine.
-
Good!
-
Stay strong Elon and whatever you do don't kill yourself ;-) that would be terrible and sad ;-) please please please don't ;-) kill yourself ;-)
-
-
Nothing a 9mm brain pill can’t fix.
-
-
Oh man, it's been forever since I saw a reference to Lowered Expectations. Mad TV was awesome.
-
-
Well, wouldn't you feel the same if you were now only worth several billion dollars? /s
-
Cool
-
Why would he be depressed?
-
That's literally a one day graph
-
tell us you cherry picked data and literally any other scale is horrifyingly bad for your argument without telling us that you cherry picked data and literally any other scale is horrifyingly bad for your argument
… right?
-
-
-
Should this news count as uplifting? Asking as a mod. I know the current poltics scenario, but this does not sound uplifting to me unless i am kinda sadistic.
-
I feel better after reading it. I don't know if that makes me a bad person but hey, I'm a person so it counts.
-
it does not make you a bad person.
In fact it kind of made me a bit happy too, in a parental way "seeing their child f up, but then you child realises it, and they ar sad, but they also got a important lesson' either that or in a pity kind of way, in the sense that he is capable of feeling stuff, he desereved (partially) what he got (i do not condone arson, but boycots are welcome to me) but still, i have some kinda sense of "i should not laugh at someone else's pain"
-
-
Musk absolutely deserves this. He is trying to put poor people's elderly and disabled family members on the street, because like every other obscenely rich person, he hates the idea of paying taxes into Social Security, or any other tax on anything. He's a psychopath that truly deserves his fall from Grace. He openly stated, publicly, that he thinks empathy is weakness. But only for other people, not him. He's a Prince, just ask his mom.
-
I agree, it sadistic to cheer for an other man’s downfall, and should not be allowed one this community.
I think it good news that Elons bad choices, have consequences, is still doesn’t make it okay to hat on a man for being depressed.
