Elmo might finally turn everyone against wealth concentration.

[u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508 → u/redredbloodwine]

Nah. We got too many people making 25k demanding we cut capital gains taxes in half.

[u/wheirding → u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508]

Absolute ignorant, bootlicking fools too. There is no benefit to them. Only a detriment to their quality of life.

[u/milksteak11 → u/wheirding]

This is why they don't want abortion. Keep making stupid babies en masse that happily support the wage slavery

[u/CompetitiveMuffin690 → u/milksteak11]

Or bad education. Florida now teaches that being in debt is good

[u/Artie-Carrow → u/CompetitiveMuffin690]

Seriously?

[u/Mr__O__ → u/Artie-Carrow]

“Florida approved Ramsey’s textbook, just as a new state law came into effect requiring a financial literacy course in order for incoming freshmen in high school to graduate.

Money guru Dave Ramsey’s personal financial literacy textbook has been approved for use in Florida by state education officials, despite concerns from residents who say it includes Bible references, and lacks academic rigor.

Ramsey is an evangelical Christian whose weekly radio show attracts millions of listeners. His textbook features a digital component with quizzes, and videos of him speaking on stage.

In those videos, Ramsey describes credit cards as “snakes,” questions the need for credit scores and says “the average home price in America today — higher in some areas, some lower in some other areas — is around $200,000.” The median home price in America is $407,000,”

[u/fafarex → u/Mr__O__]

All of Ramsey's view are outdated by 5 to 15 years... Using that in education is misinformation and setting up a generation for failure.

[u/Bleh54 → u/fafarex]

The system is working as designed.

[u/Neravosa → u/Bleh54]

This. It's feature, not a bug.

[u/Limp_Radio_9163 → u/Bleh54]

It’s unfortunate how correct you are…

[u/The_Real_Manimal → u/fafarex]

All part of the plan.

[u/BiasedLibrary → u/fafarex]

I hate this. Religious people think faith overrides reality. But in reality, Florida is becoming a mess which logic is no longer internally consistent. It's turning into a medieval hellhole.

[u/Character_Bet7868 → u/Mr__O__]

Maybe Ramsay’s stuff would be better as a novella about how debt is trap and not to attempt some sort of textbook.

[u/DaperDandle → u/Mr__O__]

They're teaching financial literacy with a book written by a guy who's famous for literally being wrong about everything? That tracks.

[u/AlwaysForgetsPazverd → u/wheirding]

Bububut one day they're going to save up and it's going to be them! You know, Warren Buffett saved up being a paper boy for his first big land purchase.

If you keep working hard, don't spend your money, you can be rich like Elon! I come in early and stay late working off the clock so mister boss will notice me and give me a 5% raise next year.

[u/iDrGonzo → u/wheirding]

But but but Fox told me to feel this?

[u/MightyBoat → u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508]

Same thing with wealth taxes, they wouldn't be affected and yet they scream that the government is imposing too much tax..

[u/Honeybadger747 → u/redredbloodwine]

I'd believe hell is freezing over before I believe that

[u/InsertRadnamehere → u/redredbloodwine]

Since the beginning days of Space X I’ve called Musk a real-life Bond villain. Billionaire who seems like a good guy out to save the planet, but secretly plotting our collective doom.

Nowadays I just can’t give him that much credit. He’s just a lucky idiot who’s confounded logic and failed upward in the most spectacular fashion imaginable, plotting destruction.

He’s an Austin Powers villain. Dr. Elmo.

[u/PoisonousNudibranch → u/InsertRadnamehere]

But what about he and Trumps precious meritocracy where they bootstrapped themselves out of poverty?!?!

[u/rustcircle → u/InsertRadnamehere]

Cult leaders rarely have actual smarts. Something about projecting your own characteristics onto your leader blah blah so yeah, magats and muskers see themselves as bond villains hahahaha sigh

[u/doktor-frequentist → u/redredbloodwine]

Can we not besmirch Sesame Street's Elmo by condensing Elon Shitfucker's name to Elmo??

[u/[deleted] → u/redredbloodwine]

He’s getting me rock hard for this 2025 citizen revolution. Thanks for letting us keep our automatic weapons with massive clips.

[u/scootty83]

I saw a Tesla this morning with a bumper sticker that said, “We bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.”

That is actually the third one I’ve seen. 😂

[u/LNViber → u/scootty83]

I saw a cybertruck with one of those like 2 weeks ago. They clearly do not keep up with the news or Twitter. I got a good laugh.

Also the first time I got to see one of those monstrosities up close. The uneven panel gaps and ridiculously sharp metal edges on a $100k vehicle is fucking absurd.

[u/camilatricolor → u/LNViber]

Only people with bad taste even think of buying these horrible cars

[u/packref → u/LNViber]

r/cyberstuck

[u/I_Was_Fox → u/scootty83]

I want one for my Chevy bolt that says "Gas free. Elon free"

[u/UnreadThisStory → u/scootty83]

Pretty funny

[u/goosebump1810 → u/scootty83]

I wish I find this sticker too

[u/Breastfedoctopus → u/scootty83]

I've seen a couple too in silicon valley already

[u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

I think he believes he’ll be President by Proxy if Trump wins.

[u/DrRockBoognish → u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

He’ll pay trump $44 Billion for the privilege to drive the U.S. into a former shell of itself. Rename the U.S. to X while he’s at it.

[u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559 → u/DrRockBoognish]

So for the next year we’d get to read “X, formerly known as The United States” in every fucking news article.

[u/-WADE99- → u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

USX

[u/Daft00 → u/-WADE99-]

Yep, that's it... I hate it

Reads like a lazy sci-fi novel

[u/Inside-Line → u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

100% this. He can't run for president himself so he's going for the next best thing. I'm 100% sure that if he could run, he would be pushing to be on the ballot now instead of Trump.

[u/the0riginalp0ster → u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

You are 100% right. Literally Trump said "I guess I have to support electric vehicles now since Elon is so dedicated to my campaign" It is so shocking how corrupt things are and he will still get close to half of the vote. What a time we live in.

[u/jizzmcskeet → u/PuzzleheadedRoyal559]

The plan is to get Vance at the top. Then the PayPal boys have someone they completely bought.

[u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

….meritocracy? lol. The dude who bankrupted multiple casinos and was found guilty of 36 counts of fraud deserves to be president in your “meritocracy?” Lmao 

[u/DukeLukeivi → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

The dude who said he'll be "dictator on day one," and that he'd "fix it so you don't have to vote again," is going to preserve freedom. LMAO

[u/TrumpersAreTraitors → u/DukeLukeivi]

I will never forgive these traitors 

[u/GoodGoodGoody → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Meh, save some of that for the 2/3 of eligible lazy Dems who sat out and sucked out on election day, 2016. They handed Trump the job.

[u/Public_Concentrate_4 → u/GoodGoodGoody]

I think that goes for everyone, we got complacent because I feel at least, society (especially younger gen’s) started to realize it didn’t matter who we voted for because presidents didn’t really change anything. Then Trump won and we realized that they can apparently still cause major damage.

[u/Ejecto_Seato → u/Public_Concentrate_4]

We also found out how much of our system rests on the assumption that people who could actually get elected would have some basic level of decency and respect for the institutions, and a few warnings signs about what happens when that assumption isn’t satisfied.

[u/norvelav → u/Public_Concentrate_4]

I disagree,I don't think most people didn't vote because they don't think president's change anything. I think everyone thought there would be enough other people voting that thier lack of participation wouldn't matter, which left not many people voting for Hillary,and Trump getting the win.

[u/Admirable-Public-351 → u/norvelav]

Didn’t she still win the popular vote, that just doesn’t matter all that much?

[u/Land-Southern → u/Admirable-Public-351]

Republican candidates since reagan have won the poplar vote with bush in term 2 after 911. Bush Sr also won in 88.

Looking at wiki on the issue, 4 times a president has taken the office and lost the vote, 1876 hayes, 1888 harrison, 2000 bush Jr, and 2016 trump.

[u/JMoherPerc → u/Land-Southern]

People need to internalize this fact.

People didn’t stop voting altogether. Voter turnout certainly isn’t great, but that also has other factors such as deliberate voter disenfranchisement. The truth is the electoral college is an increasingly broken system.

Voters have to overcome increasing barriers to their abilities to cast votes (the dismantling of the postal service, the outsized weight of rural votes through the EC, and so on) and even when successful their candidate might not win, and even if that candidate wins they may not actually do things that meaningfully improve the material conditions of the voting base (or in the case of 2016 DNC, thoroughly alienate a huge chunk of the voter base).

Without massive democratic reforms nationwide the story of 2000 and 2016 will repeat itself again and again, with Dems themselves moving ever further to the right to try to capture the votes that result from the openly fascistic pandering of conservatives.

Every election since forever has been the most important election of our lives and every president and congress has done little to nothing to steer us away from climate catastrophe. But at least we can (kinda) vote!

[u/perseidot → u/JMoherPerc]

Just to support your point: Oregon votes by mail. We get our ballots 2 weeks before Election Day, and we can either drop it in a ballot box or mail it in.

All US citizens, 18 or older, who get an Oregon drivers license get registered to vote in that same transaction. Changing your address with the DMV changes it in the voting roles automatically.

Our voter participation is consistently first or second in the nation. We had one case of voter fraud. It was a female Republican, she was caught, and indicted.

[u/PatrioticRebel4 → u/JMoherPerc]

Shelby county v Holder should really be emphasized. Gutting the civil rights voting act had allowed racist south to immediately start changing voter laws to disenfranchise rural and poor areas.

[u/Pale_Zebra8082 → u/Land-Southern]

Bush Sr won popular vote in ‘88, and Jr in ‘04.

So, of the four times a Republican has won since Reagan, twice they won the popular vote.

[u/AccomplishedRow6685 → u/Land-Southern]

Missed one: Bush the elder won the popular vote in 1988

[u/IndelibleEdible → u/Public_Concentrate_4]

Most people already knew that. This is why we were pleading with the ‘Bernie Bros’ to not be idiots and to vote for Hilary.

Spoiler alert - many remained idiots

[u/unique_passive → u/GoodGoodGoody]

I’ll put it this way. Could we have predicted how utterly horrible Trump was as president? Yes.

Could we have predicted how unanimously the GOP chose fascism and MAGA ideology over democracy and the law? I’d argue no.

As evil as Republican politicians were back in 2016, as obstructionist as they were to government functioning, I’d have bet solid money that at least half of them were smart enough to openly oppose brazen crimes, even if it was “their guy” doing them.

I don’t think you can blame non-voting Dems for Republican politicians failing to reach the rock-bottom low standards that were set for them.

[u/Goopyteacher → u/unique_passive]

Honestly I’m in the same boat as you. I’ll give everyone who had this attitude a pass for the 2016 election. But now… There’s no excuse.

Before Trump became president many people voted for him basically out of spite because they hated the idea of another career politician becoming president. Trump sold himself back then as an “outsider” and a “man of the people” which, to be fair, he was never officially in politics until then so nobody could actually fully counter his claims (depending on how you look at it- I’m being VERY generous and my backs hurts from all the bending).

But Trump was president for 4 years and we witnessed him fail in nearly every claim he made, lie at every opportunity, refuse accountability for his actions, indirectly contribute to god knows how many more deaths during Covid due to his pissy fit and incite a riot that escalated into an attack of the Capital on Jan 6.

People could argue ignorance in 2016. They can NOT in 2024

[u/CalmTheAngryVoice → u/unique_passive]

Could we have predicted how unanimously the GOP chose fascism and MAGA ideology over democracy and law?

Well I did, and I said as much to anyone who would listen. I said those fuckers would line up right behind Rapey McFelon like rats behind a pied piper. I said he would never be convicted by the house and senate even before the first impeachment vote. I also paid attention to how they all acted during Obama’s presidency, during the post 9-11 Patriot Act enactment timeframe, and during the run-up to the Iraq War. All the signs were there. Sorry so many people refused to pay attention or were so naive.

[u/Lilmemito → u/GoodGoodGoody]

Uhmm. Let’s face it. He lost the popular vote. If not for the fact that the electoral college unfairly rewards low population states and makes these states more ‘valuable’ than other states, Trump would have never won. Hell, he lost to Clinton

[u/JMoherPerc → u/GoodGoodGoody]

Trump lost the popular vote. It was a slim margin, but still. Clinton was a terrible candidate and the Dems burned the progressive voter base HARD and Clinton still won the popular vote. American electoral politics is just fundamentally broken and Trump was then as much a symptom of that as he is now a contributor to it.

[u/karmicrelease → u/DukeLukeivi]

It’s funny how Trump never does anything he says he will do, UNLESS he says he is going to do something bad

[u/Secretagentman94 → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Oh yeah, “meritocracy”, where anyone is free to achieve their dreams as long as they were born to rich parents.

[u/RegularWhiteShark → u/Secretagentman94]

The term meritocracy was actually coined/popularised in a satirical article, which I think is kinda ironic.

[u/iedimptiaz → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

The mere fact that he believed Donald Trump is the one who will "save civilization" is hilarious

[u/wishiwuzbetteratgolf → u/iedimptiaz]

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t actually believe that…

[u/Deghimon → u/wishiwuzbetteratgolf]

Exactly. He’s saying it because trump will make him even richer. Because enough is never enough apparently.

[u/livinthedreamoflife → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Cheered on by the guy who is the son of an apartheid emerald barron who has had every advantage in the world and wants people to believe he’s “self made”.

[u/TrumpersAreTraitors → u/livinthedreamoflife]

In a real meritocracy, roofers and agriculture workers would run the country 

[u/Straight-Extreme-966 → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Almist allof the migrants that that fat bag of piss and wind want to keep out of the country work harder than him.

[u/GreatGearAmidAPizza → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Yes, that's the dude that the dude who lost 3/4 of Twitter's value wants to preserve our meritocracy. 

[u/athinnes → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

For one thing they literally took and continue to take away reproductive rights from women and they boast of "freedom". Freedom for who? I cannot wrap my mind around how millions of people support this blatantly obvious hypocrisy. Mind fucking numbing.

[u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508 → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Elon and Trump were born rich.

In a real meritocracy they’d be hawking bootleg watches on the street corner.

[u/APiousCultist → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

He's a billionaire, being wealthy is the only kind of merit he believes in. In fact, if pushed I'm sure he believes only the ultra rich deserve to vote.

[u/thatthatguy → u/TrumpersAreTraitors]

Nepotism is the only real meritocracy.

[u/jaybeezwax]

‘If we want to keep a meritocracy in America we need to elect the most useless, unqualified sack of privileged shit or else the whole house of cards tumbles down’

[u/penguinKangaroo → u/[deleted]]

Fuck rich entitled white dudes.

[u/given2fly_ → u/jaybeezwax]

Instead of the highly qualified black woman?

[u/EdwardoFelise]

For a “smart” guy he sure says a lot of dumb stuff.

[u/cityshepherd → u/EdwardoFelise]

Literally the ONLY thing he cares about is getting his government subsidies and spreading the glorious word of our lord and savior: MONEY

[u/mobius_sp → u/cityshepherd]

I really hope Harris and Walz win. I really hope we see a Democratic majority in Congress. And then I really hope Elon loses every subsidy he gets from the government (with the exception of SpaceX, because we need space like never before).

[u/Lingering_Dorkness → u/mobius_sp]

I hope Congress then opens an investigation into emo's business practises. That's probably also what emo is worried about

[u/TrumpsCovidfefe → u/Lingering_Dorkness]

I think there may already be some of that going on given the DOJ indictments on people who didn’t register as foreign agents taking Russian money. Twitter was named as a target for disseminating their propaganda. There is a possibility he could be deported over that, if he is found to have done so.

[u/TheBirminghamBear → u/TrumpsCovidfefe]

There is a possibility he could be deported over that, if he is found to have done so.

Trump going to jail or croaking would be my favorite day ever.

But by god, Elon Musk getting deported would be a really close second.

[u/FrankyCentaur → u/mobius_sp]

I think she’ll win by a landslide, but I’m unsure if we’re ever going to see a supermajority with a big enough gap that can actually fix things permanently. But I can dream.

[u/Ngete → u/FrankyCentaur]

A supermajority might be a stretch, but considering demographics, a lot of baby boomers are starting to pass away, and a lot of baby boomers across the US TEND to on average vote more republican, while younger voters tend to on average vote more Democrat leaning, now with aprox 2.5 million boomers dying a year, and let's say about that same number of people have been graduating highschool per year just for kicks and giggles, and we say they vote Democrat 2x as often as the boomers they replace, so that's gonna be a couple million more theoretical votes across the US for Democrat that are no longer going to be going towards Republicans, so let's say Republicans down 3mil votes compared to last cycle, dems up 3 million from last cycle, creating a new diffrence of 6 million votes nation wide. That's how many more votes biden got over Trump last cycle, add in the whole kamala as some fresh but experienced blood, trump being a convicted felon and wanting a dictatorship scaring off a lot of moderates, I do have a feeling at least by sheer votes kamala would win, and I'd think she would likely get most swing states and weaken some core red states

[u/EnvyWL → u/mobius_sp]

With how many conservatives in congress are also switching sides this election really shows how messed up and bold some of the extreme religious conservatives have gotten. A lot of the people around my city that want to vote for trump either have a religious reason, the low gas excuse, or think he favors people like them.

Like bro yall live in a poor city also lol he would be willing to gut your homes kick everyone to the curb and flatten this city if he was allowed to build a casino here lol.

[u/jonesqc → u/mobius_sp]

Getting 50 senators is going to be a very uphill battle.

[u/Honeybadger747 → u/mobius_sp]

What is this about needing space? Is it because we are destroying our planet and to give the oligarchs a plan b?

[u/hackmaster214 → u/cityshepherd]

Dickhead actually manages to swindle my state into giving him money to build a hyperloop instead of a high speed rail system, then embezzled all the money and left us high and dry.

[u/UGMadness → u/EdwardoFelise]

He’s what a dumb person thinks a smart person should be like.

[u/Secure_Guest_6171 → u/UGMadness]

I recall a columnist saying that years ago about Jordan Peterson

[u/DJKGinHD → u/EdwardoFelise]

The smartest thing he ever did was be born to parents who own an emerald mine. Wish I had thought of that.

[u/ReadBikeYodelRepeat → u/DJKGinHD]

Life on easy mode and he’s still a button mashing fuck up. 

[u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508 → u/EdwardoFelise]

God I can’t believe I used to respect this asshole.

[u/Outrageous_Zebra_221 → u/EdwardoFelise]

He's done some real good though, he's made it absolutely clear billionaires don't exist on merit at all.

[u/jawndell]

Trump and his whole family is the very definition of nepotism over meritocracy 

[u/DickyMcButts → u/jawndell]

So is elon

[u/iwonteverreplytoyou → u/DickyMcButts]

After all, where would Elon be without daddy’s apartheid emerald mine money?

[u/tthrivi → u/jawndell]

This. So this asshats starts all of his business in blue strongholds and sucks off the government teet and then has the gal to talk about meritocracy?

[u/AtlanticPortal → u/tthrivi]

Technically he started all of his business using money exploited from people working in an emerald mine owned by his daddy.

[u/RlyehFhtagn-xD → u/jawndell]

Meritocracy is a lie. It always has been. No one gets power and money by being a diligent worker. It's all old money, and old families in power, and has been since first time someone's ancestor stole land and resources from their neighbor.

[u/HP_Hoodlum]

Hey, I'd be nervous too, if I needed Trump to win the election so he can pardon me in case it should come to light what those karate sessions with Ghislaine Maxwell were about.

[u/MotorcycleMosquito → u/HP_Hoodlum]

Crazy to me that the CIA doesn’t just spill the beans on this anti western democracy schmuck.

[u/Melicor → u/MotorcycleMosquito]

oh sweet summer child, you think they're on our side?

Sounds like he’s worried those Epstein files may come out if Kamala wins.

Could also just be that the Ketamine has destroyed his brain completely. You know there seems to be a correlation between brain damage and suddenly becoming republican...

Hey now don't blame ketamine for this moron and his stupid decisions he has been making for the last 10+ years.

[u/darryljenks → u/DontCareWontGank]

Like Kennedy Jr. shifting from Democrat to Republican after his brain worm.

[u/jbrown509]

Oh my god I’d pay $500 just to get 60 seconds of being able to scream at him ab how fucking stupid he is. Dude is a fucking moron it blows my mind, and I’ve yet to see anyone just call his dumbass out in person to his face

[u/IAintChoosinThatName → u/jbrown509]

I’ve yet to see anyone just call his dumbass out in person to his face

There was an online conference where technical people were able to ask questions to him after he said something about rewriting twitter code from scratch... One guy pretty much exposed him as exactly that before getting cut off.

[u/actually-a-dumbass → u/IAintChoosinThatName]

Rewriting from scratch is the classic expert beginner suggestion when overwhelmed by existing complexity one doesn't understand or appreciate. It was so weird to hear him unironically suggest that.

[u/GooberMcNutly → u/actually-a-dumbass]

We want to write something from scratch so little we invented the whole open source software movement and collectively invested millions of hours of personal time so we NEVER have to write anything from "scratch".

[u/bearbarebere → u/jbrown509]

That's actually a great moneymaking strategy, if you can handle being yelled at without responding. You just know they'd argue back after the 60 seconds is up though and would appear to get the last word.

Man, I used to admire Elon and was still supporting him because he was pro-Science. But now, it feels like the dude is on some really hard mind numbing drugs or has lost it completely. WTF ELON? Meritocracy with Trump? The dude that can't even construct a simple sentence? What is happening to America, gods! This is fucked!

[u/Better-Snow-7191]

Ah, yes. The son of a multimillionaire who inherited wealth, was accepted to Penn Wharton after a large donation, was loaned $22 million to start his first business is an excellent example of meritocracy.

[u/phantomreader42 → u/Better-Snow-7191]

Hey, he got all his money from hard work. Not his own hard work, but someone's. Mostly children in the emerald mines...

[u/Big_Donkey3496]

I’m sure Dumpy’s promised tax cuts for the ultra rich has nothing to do with his E-lawn’s support for t-rump.

[u/SirSignificant6576]

What a fuckstick.

[u/jeje-robobo]

Meritocracy????

What the fuck is this goon talking about? Neither he nor Trump can claim to be where they are based on meritocracy. Fuck outta here.

[u/pursescrubbingpuke]

If the US was an actual meritocracy, Elon wouldn’t be a billionaire. Generational wealth and the oligarchy it creates is antithetical to a meritocracy. Elon is wealthy because the American taxpayer subsidizes his half baked business ideas through fat government contracts. He’s not wealthy because of hard work and perseverance. We all work hard, we all persevere, and we all overcome obstacles to achieve goals. We just don’t have the same connections and immorality it takes to become that rich.

Because it’s not racist. Continentist, maybe, but not racist.

I can’t believe I let this guy fool me into thinking he was the real life Tony Stark. I mean, he’s connected to some cool stuff, but at his core he’s just another tinfoil hat political dunce. I’m hoping he can find his way out of the echo chamber and get back to focusing on the actual important stuff he has “in the fire” for humanity.

I think he means kleptocracy

[u/Top-Camera9387]

"Meritocracy" lmao kid born to rich parents

[u/solamon77]

You know what drives me crazy? Every fucking election with these guys... If Carter wins, it's the end of America. If Clinton wins, communism! If Obama win, he's going to make America Muslim. If Biden wins, he's going to turn your boy into a girl. If Harris wins, civilization is on the line.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

Enough with the bullshit hyperbole. Nobody has come for your guns. Your corporate overlords are still free to ship your jobs to China. That company that polluted your drinking water is still turning record profits. The CEO of your job still makes 1000x more than you. Your kids are still getting killed at school. You assholes don't have to worry, America is still great.

[u/Wolfman01a]

Why does it feel like he is completely all in because he's afraid of consequences when Trump loses.

Where was he on Jan 6th? What dirt does Trump or the Russians have on him? You know his closet skeletons are epic.

[u/Most_Number4326]

What the hell is wrong with him. I have never seen democratic say anything negative I know they are not perfect but 4 years of Biden administration was much better than 4 years of Donald. He wanted coup that not democracy. How can Elon who say I am for freedom not see that. Project 2025 gun abortion they are so many things.

[u/hiyabankranger]

Someone’s been promised a presidential pardon for an investigation that hasn’t been made public yet.

[u/mtbeach33]

From the guy that wanted “no election interference” lmaoo

[u/Lucky_Shoe_8154]

He doesn’t want to pay taxes

[u/Ohiocitybandit42]

Sounds like ole musky might have some legal trouble coming up.

[u/blakeley]

Some of the biggest backers for Twitter funding are Russians, so this tracks. 

[u/Vex403]

Trump has no merit.

[u/mariuszmie]

I hope he goes home when drumpf loses

[u/GreyBeardEng]

Translation: "I don't want to pay more taxes"

[u/mul3sho3]

Elon sucks donkey balls.

[u/studiocleo]

Upside down & backwards day.

[u/hugazow]

Fuck twitter karen

[u/MaybeTheDoctor]

My pillow guy 2.0

[u/daremosan]

We have different definitions for "meritocracy"

[u/peanutismint]

Bad luck Elon. You backed the wrong social media horse and now you’re backing the wrong political one too.

[u/Honeybadger747]

How the hell is Trump the beacon of meritocracy? When has america ever been a meritocracy? Wow. Just wow.

[u/Donkey_Karate]

Based on fucking what, Muskrat? Holy shit, if there is one person who I'm as sick of hearing from as Trump it's this fucking bloated sack of shit... Fuck them both so much I can't even come up with words for it. Please make them disappear...

[u/Digger2484]

Elon is such a beta bitch

[u/GraceMDrake]

If Musk and Trump = “civilization,” then good fucking riddance.

[u/Its0nlyRocketScience]

There is no meritocracy in the US. None. To preserve what little democracy we have left, Harris MUST win.

[u/sqljohn]

lol, elons version of a 'meritocracy' led me to abandoning his little app when he took over, went back there this week to actually deactivate my account. Thats the essence of a meritocracy, or will he now sue users as well as advertisers for making a choice.

[u/Z34N0]

Damn I can’t stand this shit stain. I almost want the global economy to collapse and go back to seashells so he becomes nothing. He is the problem but he’s trying to get everyone to look at their neighbors instead of him. He’s the cancer. He’s right about the US needing repair.. but it’s more like surgery. Need to cut off some tumors.

[u/Zealousideal-Luck784]

Trump can fuck right off and take Musk with him.

[u/doriotiger]

Yawn

[u/SingularityCentral]

Is this motherfucker so twisted up despising transgender individuals, who make up an absolutely tiny minority, that he thinks "civilization is on the line" if we recognize their right to exist?

[u/30thCenturyMan]

Money is wasted on the rich

[u/UserWithno-Name]

LMFAO. As if. If it was merit based, neither of you would be anything. Daddies money got you both where you are

[u/The_Spyre]

You guys deserve each other. You both buy other people's companies with Daddy's money and run them straight into the ground. Stable Geniuses indeed.

[u/5sgt5slaughter]

The rich and uber wealthy are nervous, and they should be. Time they were kicked off their pedestals! Wealth hoarding has to end, the workers need to get their fair share ! Who's with me ???!!!

[u/nogoodnamesarleft]

Meritocracy, its an interesting word chose coming from the guy who grew up profiting off an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa stumping for the guy who started his career with "only" a small, million dollar loan (in 1970s money) from his father, the same daddy who kept bailing his business out when they started hemorrhaging money

[u/Chortles_Hansom_666]

Let’s hurt him where his wallet.

[u/Eagles_Heels]

As MAGA likes to say… if he doesn’t like it here, maybe he should go back to South Africa

[u/khalamar]

Elon Musk can go fuck himself.

[u/Aiku]

Translation: "Trumpf will give me tax breaks, whereas Harris will tax me more".

Rich people are all about making more money, it's their ultimate obsession, poor little flakes of snow.

[u/nerdboy1979]

When has Donald Trump, or Elon Musk for that matter, ever earned anything?

[u/HotSalt3]

Musk is a shit stain on the pimpled ass of American fascism.

[u/bones4pj]

Fuck Elon

[u/Intrepid-Ad7352]

Haha they both fuck kids. Both on the epstein blackmail list for sure

[u/FknDesmadreALV]

Trump had a huge boner for Obama not being allowed to run for President because , “he’s from Kenya!!!” Said he didn’t belong in politics at all, bot being a native-born citizen (according to him).

Yet, Musk is literally born and raised in Africa.

[u/Schism_989]

"Meritocracy"

[u/metfan1964nyc]

Translation: I've fucked up Xitter and the only way to get the government to give me money to stay afloat is to have Trump in office.

[u/MyEggDonorIsADramaQ]

He spelled oligarchy wrong.
