Musk needs to die. He's the single most dangerous person on the planet, moreso than Trump himself or even Putin.
I hope some brave schmuck close to him is prepared to sacrifice everything. I would do it myself if there was any realistic chance of success.
And before this disappears due to "advocating violence" - he and his ilk don't just advocate violence but actually visit it upon us, on a daily basis. Fuck off with your righteousness. Tyrants should never be suffered.
I'm still hoping for him to OD on ketamine.
That would be an amazing death. I wouldn't wish him to die so kindly. I don't mind if Musk would bleed out in the streets or something. And I'm against killing people in general, I don't see how that could benefit anyone... With some exceptions. Like Hitler, Putin, Musk, etc. But to be clear, I don't have plans and I don't want to push others to do something... I'm just saying I wouldn't mind.
Also, OD on ket is really hard to do.
By itself sure, but add a hot tub and boom!
I've been K-holing in a hot tub, still hard AF. Maybe if he would do ketamine and drive a cybertruck it would work but that would endanger others. It does sound like something he would do, take as much people down with him.
Chandler from friends tried harder than you then friend
I seriously don't understand what happened there. I think there must have been other factors in play as well, I guess we'll never know. John Oliver showed even coroners can be a scam in the US.
It's really hard to OD on Ketamine. More likely he either will or has already developed K bladder... which is not fun and permanent
I doubt he does more ketamine then me, and I have no bladder issues (tested). You'd need to be addicted or have a weak bladder or something to get it, otherwise you're fine. Just make sure you drink enough liquids. AFAIK he's just a recreational user, just like me.
Close friends have said quotes like "He microdoses daily, and macrodoses often at parties"
I doubt your doing K everyday, but maybe...
True, I'm not microdosing but I use it most weekends, between 1 and 5 grams per weekend depending on the length of partying.
Honestly I don't really understand why he would use ketamine. I am constantly confronted with myself, with what I've done and how much impact I have. If Musk would experience even 1% of what I experience he would jump of a bridge after donating his entire wealth to the poor. But I guess his narcissism blocks any self confrontation. His trips must either be boring AF or he's the biggest massogist out there.
I'm just speculating, I can't see in his brain. But I do see his actions and I can say without a doubt the world would become a lot better when he's gone. I never thought people could be pure evil. Always people have good intentions but are blind to see the damage they create. But with Musk I truly believe he's pure selfish and couldn't care less if he has to walk over piles of bodies to get more money and power. No good intentions at all. Even Hitler had good intentions. Trump is dumb AF, I bet even he means well, he's just too dumb to understand anything.
I think Musk is a true villain and the only good intentions he has are only good for himself.
I can't believe people are still falling for his scams and lies, after being exposed so many times. Honestly, Idiocracy is a documentary, people are using that movie as a manual.
Let's strap Elon on top of a starship and let that be the first and last one to reach orbit. In a cybertruck, circling around Mars like the Tesla roadster. It would be the best meme ever. Give him some Idiocracy "rehabilitation".
Stop Elon destroying the world even further then he already has. Please. Someone? Luigi? I prefer him to rot in prison for the rest of his life, so he can feel sorry for himself all those years. But I know 99% sure that's never going to happen with the corrupt justiciary system and his wealth and influence.
I am pretty sure his motives are simply to destroy modern society, especially in America so he can collapse the government and then create the tech bro feudalist society that they want to replace it with, with Musk and Thiel, et al. Being kings of their fiefdoms.
I am sure he rationalize it by thinking he would somehow be better.
He was born in a white rich family in South Africa, his father owns mines with horrible working conditions. What you describe doesn't sound like it's outside of his comfort zone.
He apparently takes massive amounts of the stuff at parties.
He is like the prime goal for any Luigi out there.
I doubt he's more dangerous than Putin because he seems to be Putin's puppet, not the other way around. He is however far more popular in the west
Musk is a real danger to the world. He is throwing his essentially infinite resources behind fascist politicians everywhere he can. We are looking at likely fascist takeovers in Germany, France and the UK, as well as the USA and a swing to the hard right in Canada. Other European countries have already gone fascist. It would be like the 1930s and 40s except that some powerful countries still fought against fascism then. Now it seems to be taking over everywhere.
Musk is a significant force in this movement. We urgently need an effective popular movement against billionaires.
Musk isn't acting alone because he doesn't directly have much money.
Let us not lose sight of the banks that offer wealthy individuals zero interest loans against hyper pumped stock portfolios that are only worth a mere fraction of their on paper value.
Musk is absolutely a villain but we also have a fucked up system ready to empower a replacement. They're both problems.
Let's crash some stocks then...
He. Is. A. Nazi.
His dad recently saying how proud he is that elon is finally embracing his family's political leanings and then immediately talking about there's a long history of Nazis in the family is just hilarious
His dad is even worse than he is. Which is pretty amazing.
We're still not even a single day into Trump being president.
You mean Musk being president.
~~far-right~~ fascist Alternative for Germany (AfD)
European ~~populist-right~~ fascist politicians, including Italian Prime Minister and Mussolini devotee Giorgia Meloniand Reform UK leader and inbred British bigotry incarnate Nigel Farage
Fixed it.
Nice, well done, I was already triggering on how text was formulated.
We really need to do something about him.
Any ideas?
He wanted to go to Mars right? I say we give him any means so he can.
Hopefully Germany sees how shit he is at anything and rejects any party influenced by him.
Ah, yes, the dealbreaker for any German politician: inefficient bureaucracy.
Dealing with the German bureaucracy when I don't even speak the language is exactly why I haven't explored getting German citizenship even though I technically am eligible. The technicality involves Nazi Germany and my Jewish grandfather being declared stateless by them, but not becoming a UK citizen until after my father was born.
One day maybe I'll work to untangle that mess, but it sounds like a nightmare.
