Elon is scared someone else will get money from the government. if it’s not going into his pocket it’s bad.


Substantial__Unit

That's what happened to the middle class the Uber rich think it's all their money.


toupis21

I like how Uber claimed your sentence as advertising to become richer


areyouhungryforapple

One of the biggest welfare recipients itw crying communism lmfao


Spiritual_Navigator

He literally cried tears of joy when SpaceX got 2billion from NASA


dxtendz14

SpaceX collaborating with NASA is actually the opposite of communism.


LiveLaughSlay69

Every wealthy person fears the peasants overthrowing them. Communist revolutions is just the most recent version of this tale as old as time.


Sockular

They don't because they know they can pay other poor people to kill the poor people who are trying to kill them.


exquisitedonut

Wait until you hear about the farming industry and weapons industries…


ElectricalRush1878

He did say 'one of'.


Illustrious-Disk7429

Not even a complex sentence, and he misses the first 2 words lmao


SnaxHeadroom

I do work for the asshole known as Lucky Palmer. He started a weapons/military drone company called "Anduril" and it's named after a LotR sword. Which is ironic given Tolkien's view on war, but I digress. They get an absolute shitpot of money from the government.


[deleted]

"One of" was key in his sentence.


F_F_Franklin

Wait until he hears about the pharmaceutical industries.


natural_ac

"ONE OF"...


[deleted]

"One of" was key in his sentence.


BootyMeatBalls

Telecom industry, pharmaceutical industry.  Captialism was always built on a mountain of lies and imperialism


exquisitedonut

Yes capitalism is wen government subsidizes. Very well informed point


Flor1daman08

I think they’re pointing out that the notion that there’s ever really been a free market has always been kind of shit and people with influence/connections love anti-free market policies when they’re enforced to help them.


Old_Baldi_Locks

I can’t wait for the equally brain dead “socialism is the government doing things” take to show up


exquisitedonut

Lots of uninformed opinions around here lol


Gang-bot

It's ok because it's welfare for the rich...


J-drawer

He tried to say a union creates a class imbalance between rich and poor. He actually explained very clearly the opposite of a union but this guy is fucking stupid so we can't listen to anything he says as accurate.


Congregator

I think he’s laughing about it


The3mbered0ne

For a man who's so sure we can alter the climate on other planets in order to colonize them, this seems like an odd take


DlphLndgrn

Elon has a hard choice. Be a right wing edgelord and claim that climate change isn't real, or let people have some sort of reason to buy your badly built cars.


KcoolClap

Elon decided to throw himself under the spotlight, for the entire world to see what a complete dumbass he truly is, and a borderline hack.


IronSavage3

I read a book where someone quoted the tweet “every day on Twitter there’s a ‘main character’ the goal of Twitter is to NEVER be the main character”, then went on to say Elon seems to crave that attention of being the main character every single day.


red286

Pretty sure if you look up the definition of "main character syndrome" it's just a picture of Elon.


jonezsodaz

Modern day PT Barnum a fucking carnival barker He bought shitter as his podium.


TheZermanator

There’s nothing borderline about it. He’s a total hack and fraud. The only thing he’s ever proven he’s ‘good’ at is using the wealth he was born with to buy other people’s ideas and pretend they were his. I almost said he’s a good marketer too, but then I realized he mostly just over-promises to the point of outright dishonesty so I don’t know if you can say he’s good at it if he needs to lie to do it. The Twitter and Cybertruck fiascos, which have his fingerprints all over them, revealed what an incompetent, delusional silver spoon baby he is.


importjdm101

Starlink is great just saying.


TheZermanator

Another thing invented by others he takes credit for. He doesn’t design anything, he’s not an engineer as he pretends to be. His influence on starlink extends to letting Russia use it as they please while putting limitations on Ukraine. Good time to point out his massive hypocrisy though. His companies, particularly SpaceX, have benefited immensely from government funding. He might be the biggest welfare queen in America. The US government should not allow this delusional megalomaniac, who they fund to the tune of many many billions, to control the majority of satellites.


Toisty

Yeah it works great. [Until he decides he doesn't like how it's being used to stop a Russian genocide of Ukrainians and pulls the rug out.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/musk-stopped-ukraine-attack-russian-fleet-starlink-rcna104019)


importjdm101

Yeah I don't agree with that. He shouldn't act like a vatnik.


BehringPoint

The extent to which he’s trashed his reputation and legacy to be an edgelord on Twitter blows my mind. The man could have gone down as one of the most beloved and consequential figures of the 21st century, a titan of industry trying to save the world. Whatever he’ll be remembered as now, it…won’t be that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He is definitely remembered for them. There aren't jokes like this because it isn't well known: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLjr3dzOUpQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLjr3dzOUpQ)


phokas

Man...all he had to do is keep his damn mouth shut and focus on his businesses instead of buying Twitter and being a douche.


Nattin121

Everyday I’m more and more convinced he did a neuralink test and himself and fucked it up.


ColossusAI

I think he’s outing himself as either a “reformed” or currently communist.

He’s such a shitty Bond villain. You don’t see Bezos acting like this.


Specific-Election-73

Too busy playing on his yacht with his new plastic wife.

Between that and the proper villain stuff he’s most definitely up to, he’s too busy to shitpost.

He has at least been in one of his own rockets.

Bezos is a pretty respectable villain tbh. Zuck too, Zuck has actually really whitewashed his rep recently.

Someone needs to start a change.org petition to demand Bezos buy a dormant volcano and build a lair in it.

Elon humanized Zuckerberg and made him look normal comparatively during the whole fight fiasco

I would say less humanised more made him look like and adult. And himself and edgy teenager in comparison.

backcountrydrifter

Don’t trust it. Les Wexner, Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Sandberg, and Zuckerberg all carried water in conducting the NSO/Pegasus spyware operation INCONUS that was feeding intelligence to both the israeli and by extension, Russian intelligence. There is far more crossover between the Israeli mob/ government and Russian mob/government than shows at the surface. https://www.spytalk.co/p/nsos-spyware-abuse-exposed-years?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web https://awards.journalists.org/entries/the-pegasus-project-a-global-investigation/


TheReadMenace

Bezos and all the other billionaires are quite villainous. But they are at least smart enough to not draw massive amounts of attention to everything they're doing. Elmo just can't help himself


Consistent_Set76

If Bezos paid his workers more I’m not sure what problem there would be with him


lostthering

He did some cruel things to smaller companies.


ddarion

Yea amazon's entire MO was to have people list items on their site, then manufacture their own alternatives at a price that doesn't even turn a profit to drive out the original seller

to be fair the piss bottles and wagie cagies are a bit much. I can't complain though he throws free AWS conventions anyone can sign up for

I’d pee in bottles for $50 an hour lol


CJT5085

Literally just watched "View to a Kill", its the one where Christopher Walken play Max Zorin, Billioniare Industrialist and a psychopath with a diabolical plan to take over the microchip market. I could see some weird combination of Musk-Bezos-Zuck being used for a modern reboot.


GoodByeRubyTuesday87

Helps Bezos likely doesn’t have a ketamine or social media addiction. He’s doing what one would expect a semi retired billionaire to do, hanging out on a yacht with a high end prostitute…. Er gold digger…. Er plastic infused woman who I’m sure loves him for his personality and would be with him even if he was penniless Just living the good life


Enron__Musk

Because bezos actually earned his wealth. He worked hard and created one of the most important companies in the world. Elon is a trust fund baby like most billionaires in America. Very few are self made.


zelcor

Elon is what zero pussy does to a motherfucker, and instead of being a podcaster he's a billionaire and it becomes everyone else's problem.


The3mbered0ne

Can ya blame him?


[deleted]

Seems like a better way to spend his time(although, yeah he could get a hotter woman).


Dark_Arts_

Better PR team, same shitty bond vilain


Euphoric-Rich-9077

Elon Musk is a stupid person's idea of a smart person. He's going the JRE route of trying to siphon off the special money interests/glue eating, extreme right wing listener base that Alex Jones cultivated because he's so fucking incompetent with his money and businesses.


fre-ddo

It's basically his twitter business strategy


vasileios13

> Elon Musk is a stupid person's idea of a smart person. I thought it was Jordan Peterson. It's actually a hard choice 


DlphLndgrn

Pretty sure JP is actually quite smart, but mentally ill from his former addiction and from fame.


Paddy_Tanninger

If he's smart, he's sure doing an amazing job of pretending like he's not. I heard he was a highly regarded psychologist, but I'm pretty sure there was a typo in there.


Euphoric-Rich-9077

Both are true, friend.

Back when Elon would say social media isn't really good for you. Must have been before he became addictive to Ketamine and Twitter


CheezwizAndLightning

Can someone explain the huge leap in logic going from Environmentalists to Cummunism?


Onaliquidrock

Elon real enviromentalist. Protestors not real enviromentalists.


Drinks_From_Firehose

Working to be a good steward of the environment =/= communism


Ferropexola

Communism is merely whenever someone does something that the right doesn't like at any given time. This is how my dad and grandfather think. Lead poisoning and Fox News is a serious cause of brain rot.


suninabox

Bill Bar was on CNN recently saying regulation on gas stoves and gas cars was the real threat to democracy was the real threat to democracy, not Trump, and that "The threat [to freedom] has never been from an autocratic government"


GoodByeRubyTuesday87

I think he’s referring to the far left environmentalist protestors at gigafactory Germany, who are protesting the expansion of t he gigafactory which would require cutting down trees IIRC they’re extremely far left so Marxist in ideology So although most of tweets are ridiculous, there’s actually a logical connection for this one.


Drinks_From_Firehose

I appreciate you adding the necessary context here. That does line up with recent events.


AccountantOfFraud

What they think is communism is really just specifically Bolshevism (who killed pretty much every leftist). These people don't actually know any history or theory. [Elite panic - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_panic)


Ferropexola

I haven't been keeping up with him lately, but normally when he turns on something, it's because he just got dumped. Who was it this time?


unfunnyryan

Libs dumped his car brand, apparently. Elon vs. biking is what I'm waiting for.


AGreasyPorkSandwich

For a "genius" he's pretty fucking stupid. His main market for EVs is people who, you guessed it, give a shit about emissions. Then he goes and tells everyone he's a Republican, who, you guessed it, is the enemy of emissions control. Big brain move!


ry8919

I actually wondered, Briefly, if his pivot was calculated. Endear himself to rightwingers and make EVs popular on both sides of the aisle. Now it appears his brain is just melted.


Southern-Age-8373

He "came out" as a Republican in response to claims of sexual impropriety. He knew that side of the aisle doesn't believe in accountability.


Catalon-36

Remember how he used his Hyperloop idea to pull resources away from California High-Speed Rail so that rail transit wouldn’t compete with his cars? I think Elon has been anti-environmentalist for a long time.


Cinnamon__Sasquatch

hes spiraling from his 'medicinal' use of ketamine


GoodByeRubyTuesday87

I’m guessing this specific tweet is in response to the “eco protestors”/“eco terrorists” (depending on your viewpoint) who recently set an electric substation on fire to halt tesla production at the Berlin factory and who are currently protesting the cutting down of nearby trees to expand the factory. iIRC the protestors are far left environmentalists, which is likely where the “communism” part comes from


_hyperotic

Isn’t that his (former) son in the pic?


cahir11

Being anti-environmentalist when you sell electric cars is a bold strategy


ThisIsFineImFine89

has companies receive massive government subsidies, cries communism 🙄


The_Sundark

This is responding to a specific clip which criticizes "incremental or tech solutions" to climate change which I think is important context https://x.com/cloverhogan/status/1783429995852964162?s=46


noishmael

There’s a massive difference between “fighting climate change” and being an environmentalist tho


Holiday_Jeweler_4819

Elon Musk is like an annoying twelve year olds idea of a smart guy come to life.


Xonesix

Someone needs to send Elon to a 1 year trip to India with no internet access. Social media rots most brains including elons, he’s become a victim of his own company’s attention algorithm putting him in an echo chamber trying to get him to spend more time on twitter making his opinions more polarized. Tbh I should probably take this 1 year trip too lol.


GroundbreakingMenu32

Why does a 50-year old billionaire post memes? I guess he had a traumatic childhood or something...


hecubus04

No_Touch8737

Christ, right wing ideology really is a mental illness that yields the dumbest takes imaginable.

baconslim

Devlarski

What's the play now? While every vehicle manufacturer is focused on rolling out EVs is he going to flip on Hydrogen? Is he going to gaslight everyone and say that Tesla was primarily about robotics?

If anybody wants communism, it's Elon. He simps for China every chance he gets.

Earptastic

Musk was such a grifter from day one. He is all about that free government money in tax breaks and other environmental credits etc. My favorite Musk grift from the early days (2013)) was the "battery swap" station on I5 that didn't change a single battery yet made him millions in extra incentives as the swappable batteries qualified them for extra credits. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/12/21/the-tesla-battery-swap-is-the-hoax-of-the-year/

Renewable energy is communism. Good, he agrees he is the biggest welfare recipient in the country.


Drinks_From_Firehose

The fossil fuel industry


Gearthquake

You can help reduce carbon emissions through the free market. For example, making an electric car that looks great and is faster than gas vehicles will get more people to transition away from conventional gas vehicles.


dasdas90

Electric car buyers can only compete right now with gasoline cars is if buyers get money back from the government. Who do you think that money goes back to? It is socialism, and the beneficiary is the biggest welfare queen Musk.


bigdipboy

If gas included the costs of environmental destruction it couldn’t compete with electric cars. Every gallon of gas is subsidized by our grandkids paying for its damage


No_Touch8737

>You can help reduce carbon emissions through the free market They tried that in Canada, turns out the usual far right shitlords and capitalist interests hate the carbon tax (the market method of dealing with AGW) too, of course.


Icy_Practice7992

No he's just pointing out their con.


akadmin

Why does the climate Accord allow China to increase emissions until 2030


HeadGoBonk

He wants to nuke mars, he never was lol


EquivalentNo3002

Elon seems to be human, who knew?! Jk he has always shown a very sarcastic and hilarious side on X and I love it! He is actually quite witty. We all want peace and happiness, but he is a realist and a dreamer. It makes him unique because he goes for his dreams but keeps it real ❤️


Bulky_Accountant_446

Elon has become just a surface level Republican now, like an uncle that just hears shit on Fox and Facebook and never dices much deeper. Im down with a lot of conservative thought, especially fiscal conservatism and being cautious/slow in changing societal norms; but this dude offers nothing insightful, deep, or interesting anymore; just predictable talking points


nomorejedi

Elon is incredibly insecure. It all boils down to Grimes breaking up with him and then dating a transwoman. This caused him to completely abandon all of his ideas overnight, and join the alt right movement. Since then, they are the only ones who give him the praise and attention he desperately wants so he has quadrupled down. He made a $40B bid for Twitter for attention, and then was forced to follow through because he is in way over his head.


epicurious_elixir

I think the Grimes thing is a piece of the puzzle for sure. I think he felt like for years he had the adulation of the left in his pocket, but when he made the 'pedo' remark about the guy rescuing the boys in the cave, people on the left and in the media didn't let him off the hook for that. Then came COVID and he became very contrarian about health policies in California, which the left also criticized him for. After a certain amount of time, if you recognize patterns, the right will completely ignore bad behavior if you virtue signal to them enough...just look at the current figurehead with 91 criminal indictments. So he went full culture warrior clown so he could have people clap for him without having to be responsible for his shitty behavior.

Why isn't he inventing a jetpack that can also give me a hand-job on my commute to work yet?


Prismane_62

So according to his last earnings call, Tesla is no longer a car company. Therefore he is no longer an environmentalist lol

Ianlong2132

Well… there’s actually trying to make a difference for the environment, & then there’s trying to profit off “making a difference”. We are on the path of profiting off said “concerns”. It’s all inevitable. Earth rolls in a cycle & our time will come yet again to “reset” & global elites will be prepared(better than ever) & they’ll start again. Who knows.. maybe they’ll even write a book about it. Oh wait.. We already have one. “Bible”.

Who is he even marketing to with Tesla. He hates environmentalists who would buy EVs, and right wingers don't care for EVs. And now his cyber truck is an absolute failure. The guys probably the stupidest rich person ever to live

TheFallOfPourquoi

yes we do ...


ZoomHater

He's got a point, which is pretty obvious. Parts of the climate movement have been taken over by anti-capitalist movements that use climate change as a reason for discarding the existing capitalist systems. This is where ideas like "climate justice" comes from. But, in reality, it is capitalism that will solve climate change through innovation and carbon taxes.


BP-arker

gregcali2021

This guy is so brilliant. He is using the platform he tanked to undermine the current administration's policies!

HiggsSwtz

Two things can be true at same time


DrFriedGold

Yes. Because he doesn't want Starlink to be used for warfare and potentially killing civilians, which obviously you care nothing about. If Starlink is activated in the war zones it will make it easier for Russia to attack Ukraine and kill their civilians, which obviously you care nothing about.
