"They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring

Hope he never has another moment of peace.

I don't want you dead, Elon. I want you to be penniless and without anyone willing to loan you money anymore.

I don't want him dead. I want him poor enough to need a gofundme when his drug abuse takes its toll.

"Wahhhh! People I've demonized and repeatedly talk down to don't like me! Just because I'm destroying any positive programs the government has and taking your future safety nets away doesn't mean we can't still be friends!"

The people Musk told that empathy was bad don't have any empathy for Musk?

I don't want to kill Musk, but I'm not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.

All Americans worthy of the name want to kill Nazis.

What a whining fucking maggot. Elon and that whole cohort of cowardly cunts are destroying education, Social Security, international relations, food safety, financial security, and any kind of safety net for the tens of millions of people who will fall through the cracks and die because of their greed. Yeah, no fucking shit people want you dead. It's not out of spite, or jealousy, or political differences. It's self preservation.

People cheer at the news that Tesla dealerships are burning. That isn't because they hate Tesla, it's because Musk is an insufferable piece of shit. He solidified his legacy of trash when he went alt-right. He's now the villain and always will be

He is such a ridiculous asswipe that it seems like he’s doing it on purpose to help distract from other billionaires falling in line or random horrible shit the administration is doing.

I doubt it’s an act, and I suspect he’s really just that much of an asswipe, but damn.

I don't want Elon dead, I want him to go bankrupt, fail at creating some NRx corporate dictatorship so hard that he brings about a socialist utopia, and then end up getting the drug and mental health treatment he so badly needs for free, eventually issuing an apology for becoming such an asshole and proceeding to live out the rest of his days giving Ted talks around the theme of how being the richest person on earth was the most miserable time of his life.

A core principal of a martyr is being widely liked. No one gives a shit about this dude. Even the people who he surrounds himself with don't give a flying fuck about the dude. Musk himself makes every interaction with him transactional. Add in his default behavior of being an 11 year old edgelord wrapped in a 50 something whale body with hair plugs that's awkward as fuck to be around, and yeah it's not hard to see why nobody likes this fucking billionaire with attachment issues.

Dude needs to ditch the ketamine and perhaps get actual therapy. And actually having a better diet and exercise regimen wouldn't hurt either.

She’d a tear for the billionaire as he dismantles our social safety net to give his cronies a tax break.

Musk: Acts like a Nazi

Society: "A good Nazi is a dead Nazi."

Musk: "Y U DO THIS"

Musk and the other tech-Nazis who invested in Trump want to tear down the government and replace nations with individually owned territories, which each of these corporate criminals will run like a personal fiefdom. Think 13th century feudalism but with internet and cars. A bunch of lords owning everything including the people. "Freedom Cities" that will be wholly owned and operated by your corporate overlords.

Imagine saying "They basically want me dead." and then wearing your child as a human shield. Father of the year.

In Scotland we have a word for people like Elon, cunt

“They basically want to kill me”. Quote from people discussing their american health plans?

i mean, what did he expect if he threatens to slash social security? any attempt to slash social security is a declaration of war to the civil class; and if you're declaring war, you better be ready to die.

how can we respect their lifes if they don't respect our lifes?

Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings

Wow, you have to be a special kind of shitty to actually hurt Trump's image, rather than the other way around.

Elon Musk and Trump are both traitors to Americs and deserve the maximum sentence for treason.

"GO FUCK YOURSELF." - Elon Musk

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.

They say things like this because their base wants to kill people they dislike. Most people don't want to kill people they dislike, they want them to win three Guinness World Records for longest lasting, least operable, and largest hemorrhoids.

And what will the Republicans do if it is discovered that Tesla was manipulating and committing fraud in its accounts?

What a misguided thinking, way to shoot on their own feet. By now, it should be clear that anything republicans perceive as weak, fragile, or reflective of their own insecurities triggers aversion.

trump managed to survive such perceptions because his mugshot projected a "cool" toughness or because narratives like "chosen by God" framed threats to his life as some divine bs. Musk on the other hand… getting his feelings hurts and being bullied by democrats does not create strong optics for republicans to rally behind, especially given their frequent ougabouga war cry of "dems/woke tears" or "go woke go broke".

Keen to see where this leads as musk is clearly expending significant influence at a rapid pace.

I mean, I don't want to kill Musk, but I would certainly toast his obituary. The world would objectively be a better place without him on it.

Oligarchs deserve what's coming. The Oligarchs are trying to convince the people they don't have rights. At first the people will peacefully demand the restoration of the constitutional order. When the oligarchs refuse, the people will fight back, taking the fight to the doorstep of the oligarchs. If fighting starts, it will be too late for the oligarchs - the people are well armed.

Musk a martyr? FFS, these people are so dumb.

Elon Musk is a real victim, instead of having "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime", now he only has "more money than anyone should ever be able to amass or dream of spending in one lifetime".

I realized this morning that for how much Luigi is praised there haven't been attempts to follow his example.
I don't know why that felt relevant on this post and I'm definitely not advocating anything, just an observation

I'll celebrate with a drink if somebody does.

The only people who "care" about Musky are the ones who dumped their life savings into Tesla stock.

At this point they might as well go back to trying to make a martyr out of the United Healthcare guy who's name I remember about as well as Elon Musk remembers what compassion is.

And how many lives do you think he’s destroyed as he takes a chainsaw to their careers?

It's a pretty risky game he's playing, being the public face of his business while also being an unelected president.

These fucking people just.don't.get.IT.

Ahhh...diddums lose a few billion dollars in notional worth? Are those bad bullies boycotting little Muskie's terrible cars?

Ahhh... That's so saaad...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I don’t know about want…. But if were to happen…. I wouldn’t lose sleep.

If he were killed they would all give fake sadness and fake tears but in private they would all be 'FINALLY'. The internet will be up in arms with celebration, and the simps will eventually forget they even knew the guy.

Why would any person want to kill Muskrat? I can't even think of 10,000 reasons. I certainly don't think the world would be a better place if he was feeding worms in a shallow grave.

Honestly, I’m hoping he just speed runs the McAfee plan. Drop down a k-hole into a paranoid delusion and then do the world a favor at the end
