He should list five things he's done for TSLA this week.
Absentee CEO.
- Damage the brand by association.
  ???
  
  Get the president to advertise the brand
  ???

- after he dies we should send his corpse to Mars and crucify it as a warning
  
  Warning to who?
  
  Way too cool of an ending for him. Flush the ashes.
  
  Best SpaceX can do it blow it to pieces over the ocean m.
- shot into the fucking sun
  That's a lot of delta-v to waste on a billionaire.
  
  As I've said before, sometimes you go the extra mile (or extra Δv in this case) to send a message.
- David cross?
- Why wait until he is dead?
- He would like that idea too much.
  Throw his remains in the middle of the ocean or just flush his ashes down the nearest toilet. Let every molecule that contributed to wannabe spaceman’s existence be forever bound to this planet he liked to fuck with.
- That takes a lot of resources that he isn't worth. Just dump him in a ditch.

Oh no, maybe he should've tried minding his own business instead of trying to destroy democracy in multiple countries at once!
- Oh no! Fantasy business failing just like those fired engineers with safety concerns said it would!
  Too bad the rare resources are already wasted!
  Let me... finish writing out... this reality check for... 0 fucks.
  Liquidate that shit into individual gardening grants and public train money.
- Men will literally do anything instead of going to therapy

- Still too big, but I appreciate the visual.
  
  I used to have a picture of a tardigrade playing a violin but couldn't find it, so this was the alternative.

Never would have happened if he'd stayed the fuck out of politics. Hope he has panic attacks every day.
- The dumbest part is, he absolutely could have gotten involved in politics and still been fine. Zuckerberg and Bezos have both publicly supported fascism and not seen nearly as much backlash. All Musk had to avoid was making two brazen Nazi salutes on national television and then becoming the face of the most moronic, questionably legal, regularly reversed (by both the courts and DOGE itself) funding cuts in the history of our nation.
  But billionaires are actually narcissistic and lucky, not smart and hardworking, so here we are. The richest man in the world, probably high most of the time, crying on TV. If someone had written a novel with this plot 20 years ago I would've dismissed it as too stupid.
  
  becoming the face of the most
  Exactly why he's doing it. The details matters less to him than beating other billionaires you mentioned at something, even if that something is abhorrent.

I hope he feels worse soon
- Well I wouldn't mind if he felt nothing at all

So… stop? You have more money than anyone could ever spend. Just fuck off already. Stop being so fucking evil.
- He can't. He's all in for fascism. There's no going back to the shadows for him, he'll always be known as a Nazi oligarch. He said he would be going to jail if Trump didn't win. We know he's got ties with Putin so he might be being blackmailed into being the bad guy [not that he was good before, but at least he l wasn't toppling democracies before].
  
  He supported the coup in Bolivia
  
  He can't. He's all in for fascism
  Nah. He has no interest in fascism. Fascism would hurt his bottom line immensely. He just tries to use his government position to give his companies, and by extent himself, more money.
  The dude is motivated by money, not morals or his political compass.

- That poor, poor man .... give him more paper money to wipe his tears

Awww widdle Nazi is all sad! :(
Maybe follow Daddy-Hitler's example and eat a bullet - then you won't be sad at all!!
Piece of shit.

Cry more.
- Stupid shit like this does more damage to conservative shitheads than any amount of "intellectual dismantling" of their ideology. This is their level of petty attacks on appearances, this is all they really know.
  The left needs to get a lot stupider and a lot more superficial a lot faster if we hope to beat them.
  
  The problem is, being petty is against lefty values. Take King Charles and his fat fingers. When lefty's were making of him, there were probably a few fat fingered innocents out there with the same condition who felt self conscious. And that's unfair. Making fun of appearances is untargeted and hurts those in the crossfire. But the problem is IT'S SO EFFECTIVE FOR OPTICS AND MORALE.
  So either we give up that effective campaign for ethical reasons, or we just collectively let some people take the L for the advancement of leftist morale and publicity. It's a doozy!

Cry more you Nazi bitch

Behaving like a shithead has consequences. Hanging out with corrupt shitheads has consequences.
Welcome to the real world Elon. Now cry me a river and get the fuck over it.

I hope elon musk dies alone and unloved in tremendous pain. When he dies I will be throwing a party. Him and Trump.
- And afraid. They should be full of fear, pain, and loneliness when they go into the dark.
  
  While wearing uncomfortable underwear!
  
  I mean, this is how everyone goes so at least we got that going for us.
  Unfortunately, this is how everyone goes.

This is all an act.

The ketamine ran out and reality rushed in

Nobody forced you to be a Nazi or involve yourself in politics. Go fuck yourself

Boo hoo hoo poor wittle musky
- Damn, did they up the size of his sympathy violin again?!?
  
  I'd say so lol.
- Holy shit, that little thing is playing a cello !
  
  Rockin' out!

Dressed in sunglasses, a gold chain, and a t-shirt proclaiming, “I’m not procrastinating, I’m doing side quests,” he paraded on stage.
What's the side quest for Elon; being on stage for the republicans or trying to get to Mars?
- Each of his children is a side quest to him.
- Mars.

He's not running the buisnesses he spends most of his time high on ketamine shitposting on twitter.
- Nah, he’s definitely running them. Straight into the ground.

Still worth billions but whining. Go sit in a corner, Nazi.

Crocodile tears 🙄

It's still up compared to 6 months ago. Kindly, fuck off with your crocodile tears.

Go choke on a turd, you Nazi scum.

Little sociopath tears. In other words, bull!

Coming down from your nazi ketamine meth binge must be a hell of thing...

How the fuck is this moron in the position that he is?
- People with inherited wealth are treated like they are smart, capable, and credible when billionaire nepo babies are really the worst at everything except sucking and dying.
  
  Its because, if you are handed inherited wealth and all the privilege in the world, there really isn't an excuse to NOT be better than everyone. Yet... they never are. At least nobles back in the day actually tried to be better than everyone else. Nobles these days don't even try.
- He hired people to do the work for him.
- How the fuck does he not know why Tesla is in the state that its in??

I hope he gets so sad he just ends it for us

'Close to tears' is not enough. He needs to endure decades of real tears.

I love watching Nazis cry.

good, hope that rich bastard has all the trouble possible to make his life miserable

Then just fucking die already. Bitch ass.

"I am close to tears. That is a human reaction, right?"
- It is. Which is why I doubt its true.
- crocodile tears, of a Felon.

He wasn't close to tears, he just needed time to think of something to say that won't tank his wealth.
- Has he tried saying nothing? That would probably work.
  
  Little lte for that now, yeah? It definitely would've worked if he started 10-15 years ago.
- Yah everyone is reading way too much into this man, he's just a mentally unwell incel who figured out how to get money from people. His emotional state is probably a mess but it doesn't mean he's about to cave in. He has more money than God and he isn't going to crash out so easily.
  Hot tip: it's a LOT easier to secure huge amounts of funding than you think, it certainly doesn't take intelligence, just good connections and a complete lack of self-awareness, I know from unfortunate experience that you can secure millions in financing simply by sounding sure of yourself and talking in ways that are too convoluted for everyone to understand... I have literally seen million-dollar checks handed over because everyone in the room didn't want to feel stupid.
- Maybe he was. Maybe Thiel had a conversation with him about drawing more of the wrong kind of attention.

I hope his panic attacks have panic attacks. I hope he goes to bed and never rises for fear of the mess he's made. I hope he stumbles in his fear, and fucks with someone with little enough left to lose they do something about it.
Fuck you F'Elon Ballstink, if your dreams come true I will personally stowaway on a rocket to Mars after your death to shit on your grave.

Gut him — financially, ofc.
- ...and once you're done, do feel free to literally eviscerate the evil fucker.

Good. Fuck him.

CRY SOME MORE

government bailout in 3...2...

If he really cared maybe he should stop stretching himself thin, get out of DOGE, and stick to selling shitty cars
- The earlier Tesla's weren't so shitty. Not more than your average Kia/Hyundai EV anyhow in terms of being a car. The self-driving shit is another story.
  Cybertruck has been a dumpster fire since inception though.
  Yeah, if Elon could drop the politics, hand off X, and go back to just being a major investor in tech companies that actually have some pretty cool ideas, that's be great.
  
  Don't you want justice or revenge?
- I think the damage is done even if he were to backtrack. People will just assume he's backtracking because of money and that's it. Not because of his actual ideals
- He needs to retire back to SAfrica.

More like wiping his tears with dollar bills. Wouldn't be surprised if he and Trump's buddies were given a heads-up to buy shorts before the stock market went downhill.
- I’d bet F’elons life on it.
  
  Hadn’t seen F’elon yet, good one.
- More like making his own predictions come true. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/elon-musk-upcoming-recession-actually-good-thing

Cry me a river fuck face.

Cry harder shitbag.

We need to start a fund for this dipshit to receive a fresh package of rope each day.

More.

Cry me a river, you absolute waste of a human being.
You showed your hand and you're an complete piece of shit. I hope the good people got their money out of your schemes; it'll be too late now.

Cry harder, little bitch. Hope you get fired the same way you fired thousands of federal workers.

Skill issue

Not close enough. I want to see tears of blood after what I've seen him put our country through. Fuck this neo-Nazi chucklefuck.
- I've been calling him the 'knob job nazi' after hearing about his fucked up wang

Lol get fucked you dumb cunt.

Boo hoo, why don't you go cry about it in your mansion while you try to cut more federal agencies.
- Does he have a mansion? I thought he avoided assets so he wouldn’t have anything to pay taxes on since he’s a selfish piece of shit.

Sucks to suck.
