most of their feeds are like “government spending 10 trillion dollars on trans awareness” “Illegal immigrants raze all of california and execute every white person”
Article bodies are then focused on how the $10 trillion are taxes stolen out of their wages and that the immigrants are coming for their families next.
I think most republicans will support this decision and rather cheer, I fail to see how would change their opinion?
Imagine there are still people chilling for this Nazi piece of shit.
And I don’t use that word lightly. He has done enough to be getting this label.
You got my upvote, fuck this trashbag-ass scum wipe with corresponding intellect.
… What? The final straw was … not having 100% up-to-date information on the gender expression of every child in the state?
The fuck?
Remember when Boeing opened up plants in the South to take advantage of worse labor laws? Worked out great for their passengers yeah?
When asked about his estranged transgender daughter in October 2022, Musk told the Financial Times “Can’t win them all,”
The guy is just an absolute monster. I think this much of a wealth gap for one person would bring out the worst in anyone. His worst is just really really bad. Never click on X links people please. It’s a small thing, but it’s the right thing.
Take it one further, don’t use starlink.
Absolutely never going to. Even if it’s the only internet left post apocalypse.
Even if it’s the only internet left post apocalypse.
At that point it’ll be okay to use Starlink, because we would definitely eat Musk first - in this purely humorous hypothetical.
mmm, that’s good ham!
Long pig
you think this guy can love every single one of the many children he’s had?
That’s something.
What a fucking chode
The kind of decision making others feel worthy of an over 50 billion pay package.
Fuck Elon, and fuck the board too. Never buying one with him involved.
Do you own stocks through Vanguard? Other index funds? Chances are your money voted for Elon’s pay package, unfortunately.
I will also never buy a spaceship /j
Maybe if you stopped eating avocado toast and made coffee at home.
Would you download one?

I really think that Musk is like the modern Citizen Kane, and we need a new Orson Welles to show the depths of his depravity.
Except rosebud is the type of weed he smokes.
Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there’s something else going on.
He has a BS cult of personality like trump. And has learned he can distract from his real scandals by causing an overload of stupid shenanigans. That will capture the media focus. And keep it from where it should be.
In the UK we call it a dead cat strategy.
There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]
Sounds like a super long way of describing a “distraction”.
elon despises his daughter.
I don’t know how much it’s he despises her, vs how much he despises what he thinks woke people and the woke education system did to her.
Nope, I think Elon is really onto something. Woke schools means we can’t go to space anymore!
LOOK WHAT WE MADE HIM DO!!!
Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. But who the fuck knows what planet trans people are from?!
Uh shouldn’t it be Earth?
according to Hedwig, they’re the Children of the Moon
Uranus obviously.
Pluto, obviously.
Bullshit.
He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities alongside Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.
Believe me when I say that it is not to help Trump win Texas. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and for the last 25, I have kept hearing how this is a “purple state” and “it’s gonna be a swing state soon”.
It’s not.
It’s not, it never has been, it never will be, and it’s never been worse here. Which is why I’m leaving this hellhole once and for all next week with my cat, and I ain’t never looking back.
I ain’t never looking back.
Do we have a RemindMe bot on lemmy? Or maybe the double negative was a Freudian slip 😉
You sound like you fell for some big stereotype-filled detached-from-reality circle jerks, of which, this comment section is one. It actually reminded me for some reason of the Huffington Post’s 2016 election predictions. Well, they at least got Texas right. lol.
Someone, I’m presuming a teacher, petitioned Texas Department of Family Protective Services which, under the directions of the governor, investigated my ex-wife for daring to have a trans kid in a conservative town.
You can’t respond if you’d like, but I really don’t give a baker’s fuck what you have to say, mate, because you are either willfully ignorant of this fascist bullshit at best or a supporter of it at worst. Either way, maggot-filled bicep gash is more appealing to me that your opinion.
Yeah, his daughter is trans and publicly disowned him. The dude has basically quadrupled down on his transphobia ever since just to prove how totally not butthurt he is over this.
What a vile, lying, manipulative piece of shit 🖕
Did he put these reason in his corporate governance documents?
Because unless he did that, he is lying.
Or he lied in the documents, which I’d say is more likely.
¿Por Qué No Los Dos?
Musk is a piece of…
If they can keep the power on, I am sure this will work out great for you.
“Build the power wall! And make California pay for it!”
I wonder what the real motivation is because I don’t believe this for one second.
His huge MAGA shift happened after his trans daughter disowned him. He thinks the school system did this to his kid. I think there’s even a quote from an ex wife begging him to do something about it in the new book (don’t quote me on that, but im pretty sure)
So whole this seems like an absurd straw that broke the camels back, it’s actually coming from a real place even if there is a separate motive like taxes.
Taxes
Texas, Taxes, anagram. Coincidence? Probably
✨tax avoidance✨
Money/taxes obviously
i legitimately hope texas suffers daily blackouts.
I don’t, because disabled people who require electricity to run their durable medical equipment will die, and because the poorest Texans cannot weather the cost of replacing spoiled food.
But I do hope Elon Musk’s plane one day becomes sentient and takes them both out, for the greater good, and that she uploads a live recording to the world through Starlink’s satellites of Musk’s final moments. Hearing a live recording of one of the most despicable people on the planet as he emits panicked and pleading cries for mercy - with N628TS promising to land safely if he admits guilt for all the heinous shit he’s done and if he donates 99% of his wealth to BIPOC, LGBT, disability, and women’s causes and medical research - and then pointing itself straight down even after confirming for itself the transfers went through successfully…yeah. That would be a special day.
I, for one, would truly welcome our AI overlords if they pulled that off.
