    His mission is hype-based businesses that fight unions as hard as possible. Even if goals like affordable space travel and electric vehicles are good goals, he’s not going about it the right way. History tells us the way you do things also matters. Building the transcontinental railroad system was a great project that helped unite the USA, but that doesn’t justify the way the white worker’s grievances were ignored or the mistreatment of Chinese migrant workers.

      He has no good goals. It is just a massive grift. Everything he touches will either shut down or turn into a “conventional” company the moment he leaves. It is just hype to drive sales or the next capital raise.

        I mean, he might like the smell of his farts, but that doesn’t mean they’ll improve the world.

            There isn’t a kink you have that I haven’t heard of and probably done in the presence of others.

              Then why are you kinkshaming him? I mean, there are a lot of things why this person is bad and Sailor Moon kink is not even worth mentioning

                There are kinks and there are perversion.

                When a wife shoots up insulin to go into hypoglycemic shock so her husband can fulfill his necrophilia obsession it is a kink.

                When that same husband breaks into a morgue, it ceases being a kink.

                I find it easy to make that delineation based on legal boundaries.

                Which I am sure those boundaries are an often crossing place for the muskrat. He gives off that kind of smell.

      Back when he was only known for electric cars, space tech and his plans to provide free internet to the whole world with starlink it wasn’t as bad if someone not knowing better thought that he intends good.

      Then came all that anti union shit and his far right statements and childish behaviour with twitter and a lot of other stuff.

      If after all that one still thinks elon means good they are either blind fanboy or really fucking stupid

        What DID happen? I wonder if it was all just marketing, or if something changed. I do remember thinking that he didn’t seem that bad.

          His trans kid went out of their way to say how shitty he was, once people caught on he just stopped trying to hide how much of a shitty person he is because he can gain a fervent base by saying honestly stupid and immature shit.

        Him wanting to die on mars is the only thing he’s said that I’m like " yeah that does kinda sound cool" more just for the feeling of being born on one planet and dying on another feels kinda cool to me, everything else that comes out of his mouth is batshit crazy, but dying on another planet does seem cool to me.

    One of the stupidest men of all time got lucky and landed in wealth. His shitty opinions were picked up by lots of people. I had to see them on the internet so many times that I eventually went insane. And that’s the story of how I became the Answer Your Telephone man in Kansas City.

            I mean, one option accelerates it faster. So while we don’t solve it that way, there’s still impact.

              Both options accelerate it. One pretends not to, though.

                Accelerate compared to which other realistic option?

                Acceleration only exists in relation to a reference point. With no voting system that allows for more than two parties that have a chance, Trump is the one who would accelerate things.

                You’re just saying things you want to be true because it feels good, if you can’t see the huge difference between parties then you clearly haven’t been paying attention

                  One is business as usual neoliberalism, as the climate actively breaks down around us. The other is open fascism, while the climate actively breaks down around us. Third option is we collectively overthrow our capitalist overlords and redistribute our wealth globally and try to reduce our impact on the climate as much as possible, while the climate actively breaks down around us.
