Summary
Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.
Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.
Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.
Musk, if you cared about your fragile reputation, you should never have entered politics in the first place. We would’ve just been back to hating you because you’re the richest and the symbol of capitalism.
But we hate you because not only are you that, but you happily stomp over things you don’t care to understand why it is important to have them in the first place that so many Americans rely on. You are Trump’s bitch, you got here because he rewarded you for supporting him, like he has with all of his corrupt buddies.
Get the fuck out of politics, dissolve your stupid tongue-in-cheek government branch and fuck off.
he lost his mind when vivian came out trans, and GRIME started dating chelsea manning. and nobody would back him on trying to get ouf the twitter purchase. he now compensates with ketamine and cocaine.
Seriously! If I were the richest man in the world, I’d just fuck off quietly to my secret billionaire volcano, where I’d get fucked up on wine plundered from a sunken Spanish treasure galleon, and drugs you’ve never even heard of, for as long as I want, because literally nothing can affect you when you’re that rich! Why would you invite so much mockery??
Because true respect is something money can’t buy.
They say money can buy you whatever you want, but really it can only buy you items and appearances. But rich people spend so much time just throwing money at various desires and issues that they tend to confuse appearances with substance. Note Musk buying ‘skill’ at video games, and the push for AI—because it allows them to pretend to have skill at something they don’t.
So they endlessly chase appearances, and are confused when all they end up holding is empty air. An unsatisfying feeling, to say the least.
When you have everything else, and you’re still not happy, and throwing money at the issue is your only skill, you keep trying that, no matter how often it doesn’t work.
