    Billionaires truly believe they deserve our money. There is no need for earning because they see themselves as owners of it all from the start, entitled to fuck

    And here in Sweden he is pissy that the workforce has rights as well, and I predict he’ll be even more pissy to realize that his handling of the entire situation has made other people less in favour of switching to a Tesla. Solidarity is big here - even with the general population of right wing voters.

      Really love to hear that! Back around like 2016-2019 I loved the idea of switching to a Tesla. Couldn’t afford it but always thought it was something to strive for. Well, that is no longer the case for me and I actively encourage people to shop other EV’s if they’re set on them and to avoid anything with his name tied to it.

      I feel dumb promoting the dude with a low effort meme, but hearing replies like this I feel makes it worth it.

    I mean he has all but announced the fact Twitter will go into administration soon.

    He literally said this latest move by advertisers will tank the company. He then blamed them for this.

    My guess is he wants to get the narrative going that other companies killed twitter and not his mismanagement of it.

      It’s their fault that they’re hurting my business. They’re leaving the platform I destroyed while insulting them. They need to stay so they can prop up more of my bad financial and social decisions! What a bunch of assholes!

    They’re not even demanding anything.

    They haven’t said “tone it down and we’ll come back” they just said “goodbye”.

    How is that blackmail? There’s nothing he could do now to appease them (I guess maybe step down?)

    There’s a reason why most corporations try to keep a squeaky clean appearance to the public. They’re trying to make money. It baffles me why Elon thinks public perception doesn’t apply to him or his corporations. It’s like he thinks the world is comprised of halfwit tech bros that will lap up any old bit of garbage that comes out of his mouth. Yes, freedom of speech is vital for democracy, but not everyone is required to agree with you or pay you money because you think you are right. A critical short coming of many narcissists.
