Summary
Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.
He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.
Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks “domestic terrorism,” vowing arrests.
Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a “peaceful company,” saying “I’ve never done anything harmful.”
fires thousands of people in violation of the law why do you hate me???
I’m just trying to be a Nazi dictator and everyone hates on me 😭
Hope he doesn’t want us to feel empathy for him because according to him that is a bug and weakness.
I wonder if he actually beleives that
He only hurt government NPCs he is the only brain in a jar in this system we are all computer programs.
you routinely go on social media and cheerlead for butchers committing genocide in ukraine and gaza, amongst other things.
terminal affluenza. doesnt understand that actions have consequences.
One would think the world’s richest man could afford a mirror…
LIE
His existence is harmful. I feel that I need to defend myself against him at all times, since him just existing is akin to assault and battery.
Oh yes, so innocent. 🙄
The worst part is, he probably fucking believes that.
That’s how out of touch he is
Can’t remember where I heard it but someone posited this to me and it stuck: Nobody ever does anything they believe is wrong.
If you take that at face value then how you explain evil is that a person has justified to themselves that death, suffering, pain, and unhappiness are all balanced against what they believe is the right way things should be. I can’t imagine being in a ecosystem of people where the things I believe start justifying the way these people behave. But, I’m not a billionaire. Or religious.
I feel like that quote is easily wrong. Hell, I’ve done things I know are wrong (on small, minor things, like leaving work 15 minutes early and not taking leave or calling in sick when I’m not, because fuck it).
Then again, I guess I don’t think it’s entirely wrong, either. Because yeah, there are lots of people who truly believe their unethical/immoral actions are in the right. But I also think those people are often victims of indoctrination and/or they are sociopaths.
He knows that his actions have killed people. He knew that he was cutting USAIDand he knows now that people have died because of those loss of services. That’s not a secret. And by now he knows that some people have been cut off from social security because they were declared dead when they’re still alive, which again is harming people.
Of course he might say that those changes were necessary or reasonable or accidental. But whatever the explanation, he knows that his actions have harmed people.
And if you’d like to take a different look at it, just think about how he’s described damage to the economy. He has openly said that he thinks the economy is going to get worse before it gets better, because of the changes that he and Trump have enacted. Here again, you can make an argument that he believes in the long run things will be better than they were in the past. I don’t think that’s true, but even if you do, it’s still openly acknowledging that he made things worse for many in the short term.
Get fucked you Hitler saluting fascist.
Holy shit, I actually laughed out loud at this. “Never done anything harmful”, lmfao. Get the fuck outta here.
Narcissist talk
Even good people do harmful things sometimes, he doesn’t even say he’s good, he says he’s a perfect saint, jfc
You don’t get to be the richest man in the world without crushing those under you. Fucking liar.
Let alone destroying the majority of the us government
I support the current thing.
Fuck you Muskcovite.
He’s an actual sociopath
I’m not being hyperbolic, he’s an actual clinically sociopathic person, of course he thinks he hasn’t done harm.
Clinically psychopathic. Sociopathy is the result.
The distinction is important because neurotypical people can be raised to behave in ways that are sociopathic, both directly and indirectly. Most of the ultra wealthy who are born into wealth for example explain away the harms their lives cause others. But they still feel and express empathy in many aspects of their lives
But Musk seems genuinely like he has no genuine empathy, and like he has no comprehension of how to be a moral actor in the world. Trump is the same.
Being reasonable intelligent and born into privilege in the world that rewards sociopathy through the market system… psychopaths seem to disproportionately find themselves in positions of power. It’s perverse.
Not harmful for him or his fellow billionaires…
He’s moved them all closer to the chopping block.
His intention wasn’t that, but to just enrich himself and his fellows even more.
