How do we feel about Elon musk?

[Anonymous]

I love him

I like him

Neutral

I don’t like him

I hate him

[WhiteSteve]

More important than how I feel about him is me wondering how the right wingers would react if the richest man on the planet, a foreign-born citizen, was publicly buddying up to a Democratic presidential candidate/president-elect and buying influence, when he owns one of the major platforms of information dispersion, and even was given a completely made-up position IN THE WHITE HOUSE ADMINISTRATION, given control over agencies that have previously regulated he and wealthy businessmen like him, all because he kissed the Democratic candidate’s ass and gave him hundreds of millions dollars (that we know about)….. something tells me the Republicans would be screaming bloody murder that this is corrupt influence-peddling, probably calling for all sorts of investigations, etc, etc.

But instead, they just cheer all this on, these guys who couldn’t clearly give any fewer fucks about the common American’s well-being on just about any front, as long as they have enough to buy Tesla products. These people are completely blind to their own naivety, or white identity politics consume them so much that they don’t care about anything as long as they think white people will stay on top, or the white people will accept them into their exclusive club, if they aren’t white.

Very sad to see what’s become of America. The future looks exceedingly bleak.

[NimbleOcelot]

They say all the left is distributing propaganda using the news, while the right owns the majority of the news.

[blueonblack22]

“ how I feel about him is me wondering how the right wingers would react if the richest man on the planet”

Ahh democrats have a guy like that and he’s been the puppet master for decades. Number one long time mega donor to the DNC. His name is GEORGE SOROS.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Democrats don't care about people being foreign born, and he isn't directly involved in politics like Elon Musk is. He also doesn't come from a family that owns slave mines.

[blueonblack22]

@NimbleOcelot Elon musk used to be a democrat and a mega donor for Barack Obama. He was heralded for by the left for what he did with EV technology.

So what happened? The democrats started threatening the first amendment with censorship. And Elon Musk is not the only powerful influential figure they pissed off. This is why Joe Rogan (who endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020) and RFK turned republican as well. Can you name me just one powerful influential figure who used to be republican who then turned democrat and endorsed Kamala in 2024?

But you know what; please just keep doubling down with disgusting woke cheap shots like “He also doesn't come from a family that owns slave mines.” Like that somehow Elon’s fault or something. Really. Just keep up with that twisted woke logic. Keep doing it. And then wonder why Trump not only won election but won the popular vote too which literally no one saw coming.

Also Kamala is talking about running again in 2028 and I’m all for it. Of course she’s got to pay off her -$20 million in campaign debt first (how the hell did that happen?) But please Kamala do it. Run Kamala Run.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Elon is a terrible example to say anything. He's as evil as they come. Firing people over petty shit, family of slave owners, even saying Americans are lazy because they don't work like slaves. Him turning isn't the flex you think it is. Also, what did democrats censor? Literally tell me what they censored that republicans didn't do worse? Book bans? Republicans. Banning teachers from providing different viewpoints? Republicans. Banning teachers being openly gay or trans, Republicans. Meanwhile, I've been banned from every republican subreddit for quoting Trump, because the quote made him look bad. Elon is banning a lot of non Republicans from Twitter as well. So much for free speech. Yet they tell you the democrats are the ones doing so, and you believe it, because the alternative is that you are wrong, and can't have that, can you?

Also, you say that it's not Elon's fault, but he isn't saying it's wrong. He benefits from it, and he has no issues with it. He'd own slaves in the US if it was legal.

Also, talking about how Kamala is -$20 million in debt, because maybe she's not as Rich as you seem to think, and she also actually pays people instead of stiffing them, like the Don.

[NimbleOcelot]

Trump won because people don't actually pay attention past what they want to see, or what the news tells them.

[blueonblack22]

@NimbleOcelot “ Trump won because people don't actually pay attention past what they want to see, or what the news tells them.”

You seriously believe that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump won because they do NOT trust what the legacy media tells them and for GOOD REASON. MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, etc are literally all stenographers for the Democratic Party.

People are finally waking up to this bullshit. There is a reason why MSNBC is going bankrupt and CNN is losing tons of viewership.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Yes, I stead, they listen to the more unified, Republican controlled media that doesn't include sources or facts. Also, the left don't like CNN because they are smart enough to realize it's just the left's version of Fox. The right like Fox because they don't pay enough attention to realize it's the right's version of CNN. Talking about waking up, when you get your sources from news that are proven to be unreliable media. Most of the news is Republican owned, and you think you are "waking up" because you listen to what they tell you. Here's a thought, stop listening to any news, and go to the source yourself to see what is actually happening. But you have to actually look. The only use for news is to highlight something happening, then actually reading the causes and full story, etc. Please tell me what news or sources you use.

[blueonblack22]

@NimbleOcelot I am from Colorado. I have definitely seen what far leftist policies have done to my state (lived here most of my life). I’ve seen skyrocketing crime rates, urban decay, insane jumps in cost of living and inflation, fentanyl overdoses, swarms of illegal immigrants (who are very dangerous drivers). I’ve seen blatant “trans” propaganda in my local tax payer funded public library. My real earnings after inflation have dropped 15% ever since Biden took office.

But according to democrats I am not supposed to believe my lying eyes.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 That's literally happening everywhere, especially in Republican states. Blue states have less crime on average compared to republican states. Also, the democrats are the only ones with people who actually care about moderating housing prices.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Blaming the democrats for things that are happening even worse in red states is ignorant af.

[blueonblack22]

@NimbleOcelot hmmm if what you said above is true then why is this happening? Politico is no conservative news source by the way. www.politico.com/.../liberal-cities-crime-policies-00145532

[blueonblack22]

@NimbleOcelot also you saying “oh that’s ignorant af”. Well I grew up in Colorado and I personally witnessed democrats turn Denver into a shit hole. Back in 2010 it was family friendly, relatively safe and clean. Now it’s the highest car jacking capitol in the country. Fentanyl dealing and overdoes. Exponential homelessness. And the city is losing population because of it.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Wait, I'm starting to remember what happened in Colorado. This has nothing to do with the democrats, and more to do with the fact that Colorado was the first state to introduce weed as legal. I remember when this happened, it was the more shady characters who moved to Colorado. Had weed been legalized everywhere, you wouldn't have seen this influx.

Also, of course you'd take crime policies from the states who have the most experience.

www.thirdway.org/.../the-two-decade-red-state-murder-problem

No one is saying red states do everything wrong anyway, but that the politicians you vote for are the scum of the Earth to a much higher degree than the democrats.

[NimbleOcelot]

@blueonblack22 Also, please tell me what you think of the fact that Trump's cabinet picks alone being worth more than most, or at least many of the other countries in the world, and being the richest cabinet in history?

[blueonblack22]

He’s brilliant. But genius people can sometimes be weird or crazy. But he’s got the ability to quickly catch on to trends, zeitgeists, etc.

Here are a few things people forget about musk:

• He used to be a big time democrat and was a mega donor to the Obama campaign.
• He was heralded by the democrats for what he did with EV technology and Tesla.
• His chief motivation for buying twitter is when they shut down the Babylon Bee account. The Babylon Bee is a conservative parody publication. It’s humor. That was the straw that broke the camal’s back for Elon. He hates partisan censorship.
• SpaceX was being sued over extremely specious allegations of hiring practice discrimination. This was lawfare being used against Musk.

Anyway Elon and Trump are real buddy buddy right now. But they are also two outspoken alpha males who aren’t used to be told “no” very often. While I think DOGE is a brilliant idea I also predict there is going to be some friction between Trump and Musk in the future.

Anyway there is a reason why you see you see the likes of RFK, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan supporting Trump. None of those guys are die hard conservatives. They dislike a lot things Trump stands for.

However they all believe in the first amendment. They are all disgusted and pissed of what the Democratic Party has done to limit free speech. If the USA loses free speech then we stand to lose everything.

Democrats need to get over their Marxist high horses with censorship bullshit. They just can’t seem to accept that most Americans hate Marxist censorship including powerful and elitists Americans like Elon Musk.

[Gold618]

I don't even see The Babylon Bee as being at all "conservative"; to me they're just normal, they express views that the vast majority accept as being right.

[blueonblack22]

@Gold618 ^^^^touché^^^^

But the f*ck did twitter shutdown their account a few years ago? That was beyond insane.

[blueonblack22]

*but why the f did….

[Rosexøxø]

I liked him and then..

I didn’t like him

then I didn’t like him

and a few more times didn’t like him- for different little things.

I liked him for his iq, his entrepreneurial spirit, his example for USA, and his intellectual passion.

I disliked him when I heard his team say he can be a bit much, he had issues with his children, he dissed on a young celeb- Taylor swift, in an interview he had no advice on helping his children with any possible hardships with ai and yet he wanted to help advance this (seemed like a lack of care for his family, and people). Also disliked him for his political support and the realization as well that some of his inventions may not be the best step for the future.

Disliked him when I sensed he may be self serving and narcissistic and not really an American patriot or humanitarian for people in general.

I don't know that’s just how I seen it.

[Rosexøxø]

Voted I don’t like him.

[Apple1996]

Everything I know about Elon I have learned against my will. I don't want to even think about this man but everyone's always talking about his ugly ass 😤

[ohsheeT]

He is a man like every other man he has made his way he is done wrong things right things but they are his things he is a man that has the capability of changing the world because of the things that he does

I'm sure even himself would say that he's made mistakes on the way just like we all have

But he's doing more than I can do because he's engaging in life he's engaging his beliefs just cuz we mess up one day doesn't mean that we don't fix it the next

I'm not going to judge the man because I don't know him

The only thing that I know is that he's made his way and he takes challenges he believes in things and he tries to show other people his beliefs by the things that he does are the things that he feels is right

And you can't hold that against anybody
And no matter what he does as long as it's a positive it's a good thing and if it's a negative will he believed in something in that moment of time and maybe tomorrow he won't so he'll fix it we would all hope

[strateguy632]

Ever since he supported trump i believe news that he is bad evil... just kidding.

I always considered him a genius.

When twitter put warnings on trump posts, to ruin trump reliability, cast doubts,

i thought elon owned twitter but he actually bought it later.

Having a genius like musk n Candace owens on my conservative side bolsters my confidence, my conservative conclusions that my hi i. q. led me to, are wiser not just bias.

Great minds think alike!

[molonski2]

I think there is no doubt the guy is a genius.

But , there are some concerning elements to how he runs Tesla , I would not buy Tesla shares , for multiple reasons , one being as a founder he takes out far too much , went for a ride in a MG sports EV yesterday and it was awesome .

Obviously on some kind of spectrum , and people will always call a genius " weird " , they have always done that. None of your answer options worked for me however , I would not be suprised if Tesla one day went under , the multiple has far too much Blue sky , with zero yield , and as he has said " He doesn't give a fck about shareholders " .

[DryGermanGuy]

Isn’t he known as the gay jumping weirdo?

[WhiteSteve]

We truly live in Bizarro World when guys like this are the supposed torch-carriers for rugged alpha-masculinity, and call us pussies just because we give a fuck about what happens to people other than ourselves. This guy and Trump with his fruity little YMCA dance…. I’ll never understand how they win over absolute meat sticks like Joe Rogan who weren’t always crazy, on the premise of “the left is soft.” And THESE guys are the supposed ones to bring that John Wayne energy back. I’m just so thoroughly baffled by humanity right now.

[Gold618]

Neutral. I neither hate nor love him, but I often wonder about his motives. He likes to present himself as some kind of Libertarian saviour, as some kind of Crusader against political correctness, but he's also a liar and a bully. He did not found 'PayPal', nor did he found 'Tesla', but he likes to pretend he did. He treats his employees like shit (so I've heard), hates unions, but on the other hand has promised to clean up the mess in Washington (and if he has his way, certainly will).

[Levin]

He's just a person. He kind of has some kind of weird god complex. I guess the money does that.

Overall, I like the fact that he stands up to left wing authoritarianism.

But again, he's just a person...

[TheSpaceGnome]

Neutral, I feel like he makes or owns a lot of stuff that made him financially successful, but you don't really see much of any of it applied to anything practical because its either poorly designed (his latest car), or too expensive for most people (his home electrical overhauls).

I don't have political or social opinions about him, because I'd rather be uninformed than misinformed, so I don't watch the news or use social media.

[FreyaRed]

Neutral. However i find how he earned his 400 millions a little bit fishy. It looked like alphabet boys asset transfer. Nobody sane pays 400M USD for a sh... website in prehistoric times of 56k modems

[AviatorTom]

I don't know much about him personally. He's obviously an intelligent guy who knows how to get things done.

[ColoradoKid]

The paleness of his skin and the way he looks at the camera.. I would think that he is a brainy vampire.

[phraseology]

Doesn't matter. He's not running for office. Doing public polling leads nowhere.

[Emmytexrex]

Hmmm he looks like he is hiding something evil or planning something evil or an evil person lol from his face

[LiamJHayden]

He's got imagination and knows how to turn that into money. He's on the ASD, so some of his actions and statements might make more sense when we consider that. Overall I am fine with him.

[exitseven]

He can think big and is intelligent enough to turn his dreams into reality

[saraupstairs]

The greedy bastard is working on a way to help paralyzed people walk. At least Joe is going to cure cancer.

[Gold618]

@saraupstairs I'm confused by your response here. Helping paralysed people to walk is actually GOOD.

[saraupstairs]

@Gold618

It's sarcasm, because left hates him for everything he does.

[Gold618]

@saraupstairs I was hoping it was sarcasm. Sometimes it's hard to tell, because I'm sure there are people out there in the big, wide world who think being handicapped is some kind of "special superpower" (like they do with autism).

[saraupstairs]

@Gold618

I understand.

[Anonymous]

haters gonna hate and they wish they were in his position

[Anonymous]

i don't really care for him. but he supports trump so that makes him okay by me. so neutral.

[larry69]

I thought Elon Musk was a type of cologne or something.
He is genius

[Anonymous]

I have never really paid much attention to him.

[JustinTheGreat]

He’s a weirdo

[Sabretooth]

his own AI calls him a liar. he's a rich and greedy bastard.

[Anonymous]

Well seems like he supports Trump and Netanyahu so he's on the wrong side of history.

[Deserter2]

Tesla sucks, neuralink I don't trust, it's potentially demonic. He's otherwise fine

[sawno]

I don't trust him at all.

[alice55]

don't like him he's an assholes

[KostasKouvalis]

Really? What has he done that was assholish?

[alice55]

@KostasKouvalis are you kidding? Don't you know how he treated his partner as trash forcing them to dye their hair and lose weight? How he said to his employed he would pay for their abortion because he hate children? Not to say not being able to raise his kid properly and blaming other for their bad education...

[KostasKouvalis]

JESUS! I heard something about his transgender daughter, but that's it. I honestly didn't hear about all that other stuff. They never talk about his personal life here, and I never cared about him that much to read about it.
That all sounds very horrible though.

[alice55]

@KostasKouvalis In france his personal life is more know than his pro one XD
Yes all his personal life is just horrible, not surprising though as rich people can only get so rich if they're willing to be complete asshoels to others. No sane normal people would ever be able to get so rich.

For his trans daughter he blame other while if he actually raised him / her right his child wouldn't have felt the need to do that though considering how he treated his / her mother it's not surprising the child got fucked up

[KostasKouvalis]

"No sane normal people would ever be able to get so rich."

That's actually kind of true. Well I guess it depends what you consider "normal", but you definitely need to lack certain morals to become rich.

[lightbulb27]

h'es the stephen hawking of technology.

Why the fuck is he shaped like that

[Kayleigh2005]

I want to help him populate the world 🌎

[Alex-Snow]

Just another rich jerk in our government!

[Radiate143]

I don't see anything admirable about him.

[Bricealan]

I drive his cars!!!

[paledreams]

He's not too likeable to me

[dougeats]

He's a POS creepy guy

[strateguy632]

As cnn told you. But they are bias against trump.

[dougeats]

@strateguy632 go away brainwashed moron

[purplepoppy]

Smug little shit.
