If Donald Trumpās administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgiaās elections, then they need look no further than the presidentās old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.
Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Muskās America PAC over the billionaire technocratās illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trumpās team.
That, along with a furrowed brow, should fix their Nazi problem.
Iām still so fucking pissed at my aunt & uncle for idolizing this shit stain.
They say āI donāt like him as a person, but heās doing some really great things for humanityā like no fuck you, heās literally a Nazi. I donāt give a fuck if heās autistic or has Aspergerās or whatever the fuck; the dude is a goddamn Nazi and you cannot tell me otherwise.
Let alone the fact that he has almost literally all the money.
I used to think he was a reasonably intelligent man (I was uninformed, donāt judge me toooo harshly). Then he bought Twitter and burned a profitable company to the ground, which, considering how large and widely used it was, is extremely impressive. Since then, heās made himself look like a complete fucking idiot and bigot, over and over again. But, this is who heās always been, itās just that more and more people have realized that heās nothing more than a nepo baby.
That veil was broken for me when he threw a tantrum and called a rescuer a pedophile because they wouldnāt let him build and use an overly expensive and impractical mini-submarine to rescue some children from a flooded cave.
I mean no, Twitter was not profitable even before Shitstain Must bought it. I canāt speak to how much deeper into the red he brought it, but it was not making money in the first place.
No, you were right. He used to be a very intelligent, ruthlessly effective asshole. He enabled some great things, and participated in them, and also had some flaws.
Through whatever combination of drugs, radicalization, mental illnessā¦ heās all flaw now.
I donāt agree. He sounded like he was moderately knowledgeable right up until the point where he spoke on a field in which I had expertise. Then he sounded like a fucking moron reading popscience articles and thinking he had special insights.
Heās an investor. Thatās all heās ever been. Heās never contributed meaningfully to the end results other than having money and being willing to spend it on big swings.
And note that this applies to nearly every name associated with big technical leaps. Theyāre just MBA/investor types doing cosplay as techies. Theyād be equally qualified selling pillows as they are tech.
Iāve heard the same from several other people. Some of the other points that others realized include: him scrapping a rocket because it wasnāt pointy enough, wasting over a billion dollars, when he fucked up Tesla, and when he made a fool of himself on Twitter after he had purchased it. More people realized after he created the rolling dumpster, some others realized when he roleplayed as his toddler son, even more have realized over the past year after it came out that he paid other people to play Path of Exile 2 for him, and Iām sure that even more realized that he was a loser after he posted ai dogshit of himself as Iron Man, and Iām sure some other things. Even more recently, heās been ridiculed for begging to go to Epsteinās island, and seemingly being seen as such a loser by Epstein that he wasnāt allowed to go. He went from being seen as a cool, interesting man, albeit a bit eccentric, to being seen as who he truly is, one of the biggest losers and pieces of shit in the history of the US.
Wait, what? Must have missed that one.
And the PoE thing was hilarious.
Yeah, he had an alt that he used to roleplay as his son. He had to admit to it in court. Shame it didnāt get more attention. Thereās also a bit of evidence that heās a babyfur. I think thatās like what he was doing with his son, but also furry? That one is nowhere near proven though.
Agreed. He was always a rich wannabe who had a great PR team, until he thought he was smarter than them too.
His value was in listening to the smart people in the room and not giving a fuck about red tape, clearing the way for those smart people.
Those smart people have been replaced by right wing grifters and even more ketamine.
He did have some value. Even if he didnāt invent them, I donāt think electric cars get to where they are today without his help. And now they wouldnāt have begun to decline without his help.
All of the autistic people I know are not Nazis. Its not that hard.
Can confirm, am autistic and not Nazi.
I threw that in there because he apparently said thatās what heās got at one point (I couldnāt remember which). Plus, my family throws that out there anytime theyāre reminded that I donāt like him, ābecause thatās just how those people are.ā
I know autistic people arenāt Nazis. Musk is a Nazi, whether or not he is autistic has no bearing on the rest of how I feel about him. I hate him, he fucking sucks.
I forgot he used that as a bullshit āexplanationā.
They keep wanting me to read his biography. Iām just like āmaybe,ā anytime they bring it up.
Iām autistic, and my father tried to use that excuse for him at least once. Heās just an asshole, and even more of one for trying to use autism as an excuse.
i dont think elon is autistic, he just made it up so people wont critcize him, he is ON KETAMINE ALOT.

Lol what? Thatās literally not even the same.
Elon Musk is a goddamn Nazi sympathizer. I donāt like him, I donāt like his policies, I donāt like anything about him.
Why would you get the impression that I like his policies? I literally never said that. You need to go back and take some reading comprehension classes.
He really does not almost literally have all the money.
He has stock, that if he tried to sell it all would collapse its value. It was on full display when he was selling shares to buy Twitter.
He would still be a multi billionaire, but it would be a fraction of what he has on paper if he tried to turn it all into money.
What he does have is power from wealth. But thatās different.
No. I see this claim made very often to downplay how obscenely wealth is concentrated, and itās one of the Big Lies that sound superficially plausible but just plain isnāt true. There has never been a case of a stock ācollapsingā solely from a stock holder trying to liquidate it with no other factors at play; at worst itās a few percent that regain themselves after a few days. Billionaires sell stocks all the time without a blip; Bezos for example has unloaded over $50,000,000,000 in AMZN, of which $13,000,000,000 was just in the last year, all without incident.
A lot of things contributed to the TSLA drop, and it was nothing like a ācollapseā - it was in the middle of a record spike (meaning he was able to sell unusually high, hmm, nothing suspicious there) with the supposed ācollapsedā value never dropping below what it had been less than 9 months previously. If anything the example you give proves that not only is he entirely capable of raising extremely large sums of money selling stock, heās also adept at pumping the stock just before he does to snatch even more than we thought he was worth.
But, even if we did accept that he ācanātā sell his shares because it would collapse the company, that suggests something even worse about his wealth - that itās so obscenely high that even the combined wealth of the global stock market doesnāt have enough money in it to offer him a fair valuation.
(edit: oh wait I just noticed how much Musk simping you do all over lemmy. GTFO)
It wouldnāt collapse the company, it would collapse the stock price if he tried to sell it all. The company would be mostly fine.
His shares are in a sense, out of supply, and when there is an injection of new shares, the price goes down as there are now more shares available to be traded. Its very simple supply and demand. Thereās no way heād be able to maintain a sustained sell and have even half of what he has, unless he did it over a very long period of time. (edit: very late edit, but less than half and then heād lose almost another half of that to taxes so maybe around 1/4 value and thats probably optimistic if done as fast as possible)
I am pro Tesla and pro SpaceX yes. All you online folks get some much wrong about the companies, sometimes blatantly wrong, and I do try to correct people on those matters at times because youāre acting no fucking better than how the MAGA people you all think act terribly act.
This is a good example of me probably simping according to you: https://lemmy.world/post/42908537/22057585
You donāt have to like the companies because of who runs it, thatās fine.
Thatās what makes it sound so plausible and how the Big Lie has managed to get such traction, but itās not simple at all and just doesnāt play out that way.
Ok those last two remarks make me think youāre not the useful idiot I thought you were, but actually a full-on SEO stock pumping bot.
Do i get a medal or award for being called a bot? I think this is the first time?
Certainly if youāre not a bot, you should use it as a cue for a bit of introspection that your posting habits seem to follow the exact patterns of an astroturfing bot. Not really something to be proud of.
Or maybe all those posts claiming Musk was the cause of all those Ukrainian deaths because he didnāt block Russia sooner, are the bots?
Your gif is cut short, only shows the first nazi salute, not the second one as well š
Ah yes. A strongly worded letter. Just the right thing.
