    He deserves all the hate he gets.

    And that hilarious line “…I’ve never physically hurt anyone”. Interesting how he has to qualify that by saying he never ‘physically’ hurt anyone. Like he knows if he said he never hurt anyone, he’d get called out right away. What a joke. Yeah, he’s financially ruined people, cost people their jobs, selling defective vehicles, overpromising and underdelivering, stolen from people (see how he took control of Tesla. People say he founded Tesla, but he didn’t. he was an early investor, and used strong-arm tactics to oust it actual founders), but he’s never actually physically put his hands on anyone, so he’s a good person… right.

    “I’ve never physically hurt anyone” says the man setting back cancer research in the US by decades and purposely starving poor people abroad (and at home).

      But not unlike Hitler, he never actually physically pulled a trigger, or set an electric car on fire, or stole food from a hungry person, so really the hate against him is totally irrational and comes outta nowhere. s

        Not to be pedantic, but Hitler was in heavy combat in WW1, so he’s actually pulled the trigger several times and we have no idea how many people he directly personally hurt or killed. Elon Musk would never let himself be put in harm’s way. Hell, he’ll use his own son as a bullet shield to ensure he’s never in danger.

          I hereby bestow upon you my daily pedant award. I hadn’t thought of that.

          I guess I could say war doesn’t count but whatever, I was wrong. I think the rest of the sentence stands on its own.

          We’re referring to the holocaust specifically. And to a lesser degree the war he lead. Hitler has an interesting history, barring the violence.

      Funny how he says he never ‘physically’ hurt anyone, instead of he ‘never hurt anyone, period’. Because he knows if he said he never hurt anyone, he’d get called out for all the crap and shady dealings he’s done, and all the people whose lives he’s ruined.

    Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.

      I find it telling he had the self awareness to add that caveat, but in typical fashion, couldn’t follow the train of thought far enough to arrive at the logical conclusion. “I’ve taken away safety nets from the people, most are one paycheck short of being on the streets with nothing to lose, but what’s up with all these threats!?”

        There’s a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.

        I think Musk is going that route.

        It’s also been used to defend Brian the dead health insurance CEO.

          You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.

            He thinks he’s orders of magnitude smarter than anyone else and nobody with guts could possibly see those parallels.

            Frankly, we’ve been doing a great job of proving him correct.

            He’s still quite happy, healthy, and wealthy.

                I think he’s about as happy as any human being can be. Sure he has his less than perfect, probably performative sad moments on camera, but as they say, it’s hard to frown on a jetski.

          I know this is beside the point & off topic, but Hitler is well known for pulling the trigger at least once…

          spoiler

          He did what many time travelers aspire to.

        Oh, no. I don’t think you fully understand. He’s aware of what he’s doing to us. But as far as he’s concerned, we simply do not have the right to be upset about any of this, let alone fight back.

        That is the way elites parasites think. That’s how truly twisted they’re minds, not to mention morals, have become. The pain is intentional. But he honestly believes we deserve to be hurt, and further that he’s doing is a favor by reminding us of “our place”.

        Don’t make the mistake of sympathizing with the enemy.

          It’s not that we deserve to be hurt, it’s that he is helpng us, saving us and the pain that comes with that isn’t his fault. It’s the fault of the oppressors he has saved us from.

            Oh, I still think you’re being far more charitable than you realize. To people like him, we’re lesser. But their warped views rob themselves of a certain, I dunno, fulfillment. And if he’s not happy, and we’re less than him…

            "Elites parasites are sociopathic to the extreme. This poisons every thought, choice, and action. They do not think like you. This basic empathy you keep circling back to? The very definition of sociopath is that they do not have the ability to empathize.

            It really is much worse than you seem to think.

                Source? Straight out of my ass, technically. In other words I didn’t have anything good to refer you to off the top of my head, but if you start just with the dictionary definition of sociopath you should see what I’m basing my argument from.

      You could literally torture people to death without physically hurting them.

      He’s just drawing a false equivalence between not physically hurting people and never harming people.

      I’m sure the people that he’s targeted on social media feel harmed, like the “pedo guy” for example.

      No one realizes the damage an insurance company can do, because they are all clean and and they have shiny offices.

      They never stabbed anyone.

    Thanks for asking bro, here are a few tips:

    • try to avoid the Hitlergruß next time you’re on stage
    • don’t randomly fire people who do a good job just because you don’t understand what they do
    • don’t piggyback on neurodiversity as an excuse for asshole behavior
    • try to sincerely say sorry to someone at least once in your life. It feels good and makes you more human!
    • go to therapy if you need it, there is no shame in it

    Also, at the end of the day, all forms of hurting someone are also physical.

    Hitler also didn’t physically hurt anyone in World War 2. He even had a car company that apparently made great products.

      Another common example of this is the conservative justices testifying under oath before confirmation to the supreme court. Whenever they were asked about something like Roe vs. Wade, they always were suspiciously specific in the words they used to deny they were going to outlaw abortion.

      I’ll just put it out there that ukraine is really running the gauntlet on leveling the playing field between what state actors can do and what you can do in your garage. Their drones are homemade marvels, and very effective.

      He genuinely thinks he’s an exemplary human being who’s leading humanity towards an interplanetary golden age. It doesn’t help that 1/3 of the country has bought into that fallacy and worships him as humanity’s greatest entrepreneur. It’s a reality he’s fully bought into and any opposition is a threat to his perceived destiny and very existence.
