He didn't used to have such a horrible attitude. He didn't, for instance, sneer at California for having taxes and regulations, or claim that it was "stifling innovation" when it obviously was not. He didn't act as if everybody needed to hear his brilliant opinion on every single topic. He didn't tacitly endorse racism for the sake of a tax break. But ever since he got pushed up to a Bezos-like level of unearned wealth by a stock bubble, he's started displaying every sociopathic character flaw we've come to expect from any other greedy Republican tool.

Okay, some things he always did, like ruthlessly overdriving workers.

Wow, didn't realize he was so fucking dense. Most likely, he does not believe that, but thinks that the GOP will be kinder to the wealthy, and they probably would be.

No doubt that statement will move a few voters into the GOP fold.

Wed May 18, 2022, 07:26 PM

Remember Tesla paid out to a black employee because racist pos treated him or her like shit. Musk is voting for taking away a woman's right-to-choose, supporting the racist mass murder of Americans like in NY, un-American pos is giving support to Russia by voting repuke. I could go on for a lot more.

I noticed that basically by denying a woman's right-to-choose you're supporting rape. Un-American republicans are already on record for that.

Musk should have his ass kicked out of USA. Let him go live in Russia.
