A trillionaire and richest man in the world and still plays the biggest victim

Always nice to see SMN linked/mentioned! While I strongly like the channel and have learned so much from many of their videos I just don't have the mental energy to go into that mode anymore. The world situation is bad enough just from seeing news here on Lemmy and I've had the hardest two years of my life, both my dad and the closest friend I've ever had passed away and lots of other shit, so I can't handle watching their videos anymore. It's absolutely no issue with them, they do great work, it's just extra weight that, while important, doesn't affect me daily. Really want to get to a point where watching their videos is something to look forwards to, to have the energy to be mad about the world instead of a constant feeling of drowning.
I hope he's paranoid. I hope every moment of his life is spent in fear of being killed by a stranger. Not the passive, "Someone's out to get me," fear, but real dread. The kind that makes you question the wind that blew across your neck. The kind that makes you wonder if that person you like being around actually likes being around you. The kind that makes you believe that maybe it would be easier to just...
I wish that on all billionaires. Their existence is a profane testament to human suffering.
He was using his son as a human shield a lot last year, he's definitely worried about getting sniped
Was about to post a similar comment. I hope every living second of his day is filled with paranoid thoughts of being murdered and that it drains every bit of his enjoyment no matter what he is doing.
I said earlier that I wanted ICE agents to feel like a deer that has just been released from the safety of a cage into the woods and is being hunted for sports, and I hope that same sense of dread is felt by all billionaires.
Team 'both' checking in.
If you decide to act like a Nazi, you should die like a Nazi.
...and if you're a trillionaire, you should die ASAP even if you act like Mr. Rogers - sorry duder but humanity cannot afford you.
It's not like people ARE murdering Nazis in broad daylight, if anything it's the opposite, and has always been for the past 30 years if not more.
Oh, bringing logic to an Elon discussion? You're gonna get called woke, or whatever the fuck his buzzword for people he can't dupe he doesn't like is today.
russia did a good job normalizing them, because it fits with right wing narratives in alot of white dominated countries
Drugs is a helluva drug.
It's pretty much a fact, yes. But if I had to stand behind the smelly president with eyes & cameras pointed at me for doG knows how long, I'd be fidgety too.
Wow this is a dark fucking "every accusation is an admission".
I was pretty sure elon has been trying to call hits on people through Twitter... this clinched it.
Thankfully he's such a fucking loser nobody has taken him up on it. Real "boy i just wanna rock out at one of your sick parties what days are your best parties I'd really love to come on the day of your wildest party" energy.
Long before the Nazi salut... Uh... I think about 3 or 4 years before it, I had an argument about Musk with one of my brothers who really likes him.
At that time I had watched a few engineers do the math on all this achievements, only to find out he's hyping up mundane things that already exist.
But most distressingly, he was saying apartheid things, and critiquing the arrest of a fascist who provoked violence.
My brother wasn't convinced.
What surprised me most about the salut was that he did it publicly! Right there out in the open! But besides that it was a full fledged visual proof of what I had been saying already for years. Surely my brother would not be so stu-...
No, I was just on the hate bandwagon. Of course that wasn't a Nazi salut, I just want to see it as one because I enjoy hating Musk. Because hating Musk is the popular thing to do right now.
He didn't do a Nazi Salute though. I mean, he did, but not on purpose
He's just a massive fucking idiot who literally tried to thank people from his heart and stupidly ended up doing the Nazi Salute
It's hilarious. Like something out of a Naked Gun movie
People who support him know this so being willfully ignorant about it isn't really helping. Drop the, "he did a Nazi salute shit" and stick to the facts, like pointing out that he accidentally did a Nazi Salute because that's how big of a fucking moron he is
https://i.imgur.com/6u98PJB.mp4
Are you sure about that chud? The fascist on camera did it twice in a row. That's not an accident.
Yeah, and he says, "My heart goes out to you"
It doesn't even make sense to do a Nazi Salute there. He's thanking the audience for voting for Trump because the election was important
It's hilarious because it's one of the funniest Faux Pas to happen in like 100 years and I'm sad you motherfuckers are too think to see it.
Not even a good attempt at rationalization.
It's not rationalization, it's literally what happens
He's talking about how important the election was and how he wants to thank everyone for voting for Trump. I believe the exact quote is, "my heart goes out to you"
Sucks you are so full of hate you literally won't let yourself see, and laugh at, one of the funniest Faux Pas to happen in like 100 years
What happened is beyond hilarious.
It doesn't even make sense to do it on purpose. Nothing he said had anything to do with that.
It sucks you guys are so full of hate that you literally can't laugh at one of the funniest Faux Pas to happen in like 100 years
Shit's hilarious and you're raging hate boner won't let you see what actually happened and realize how hilariously stupid it is
Sucks for you I guess
Been checking on your comments, what’s your end goal? I think you need to reflect on yourself and think about many other useful stuff that you could to instead trying to convince people musk is not a deranged nazi but just a silly man makes silly gestures.
You say he’s a useless person, but yet you’re still trying to argue with people (which all due respect, this is literally defending him)
I know you are not a bad person but current social media has trained all us to be aggressive and unwilling agent of provocateurs. A “useful idiot” in another way of saying. Please, take a deep breath and put your phone aside. Reflect for a moment what are current affairs making you to do. You’re arguing with the people that you already agree with.
Be nice
No, but you might be
Here is what actually happened.
He stood on stage and said something like, "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart", then he grabs his heart, and waves to the audience
Does it look exactly like a Nazi Salute? Absolutely, and that's what makes it so funny. The dude is such a massive fucking idiot he accidentally gave the Nazi Salute on a World Stage. And not just once, he waved to three different parts of the audience, doing it three times
Did he actually stand on stage and Heil Hitler? No
No amount of your shitty gifs are going to change that this is what actually happened
He did the whole salute the way Nazis historically did it and not just a freeze frame of him waving or something.
Here's what happened:
He stood on stage and said something like, "And I thank you all from the bottom of my heart"; then he grabbed his heart and waved to the audience
Does it look exactly like a Nazi Salute? Absolutely; and that's what makes it so fucking funny. The dude is such a massive fucking moron that he accidentally stood on a world stage and gave a Nazi Salute three times.
What he didn't do was stand on stage and then Heil Hitler
Did you actually watch a video of him doing it? He made sure there could be no mistake of what he was really doing. It was an act of defiance and he did it again facing the party insignia they had set up behind him to emphasize that point.
Yes, that's how I know he wasn't saluting Hitler but instead thanking from from his heart.
I believe he says, "My heart goes out to you"
He's a massive fucking idiot doing an incredibly stupid thing and that's funny as fuck. It's a shame you are all so angry that you literally can't laugh at one of the funniest fucking faux pas to happen in like 100 years
Nope, definitely not a Nazi salute.
Here's what happened:
He stood on stage and does this, then says that "my heart goes out to you"
Does it look exactly like a Nazi Salute? Absolutely; and that's what makes it so fucking funny. The dude is such a massive fucking moron that he accidentally stood on a world stage and gave a Nazi Salute three times.
What he didn't do was stand on stage and then Heil Hitler
If you want to get technical, a Nazi Salute does not flat palm the heart, it's that sideways hand all the way through. And why does he flat palm his heart? Because he was thanking the audience from his heart. There's no need to lie about what happened, what happened is incredibly fucking stupid and make him look dumb as fuck on it's own
Then he turned around, faced the rnc symbol on the wall, and did it a second time. Was he "thanking the symbol from his heart" too?
If you want to get technical, he made the exact same gesture Hitler did in the side by side video I posted. Are you saying that technically Hitler wasn't doing a Nazi salute? Cause if anyone knows what a Nazi salute is, it's him.
Look, we all know what he did, and it wasn't an accident or an adorable awkward moment from a neuro divergent. Absolute best, most generous case is that he was trolling Democrats. But that DOES NOT change that fact he did an intentional Nazi salute.
The guy writing apartheid apologist commentary, funding fascist political groups here in Europe, advocates for the release of any arrested fascist or supremacist on the grounds of "free speech", and openly believes in Nazi created conspiracies like "White Genocide" and "Great Replacement Theory", threw up two consecutive Nazi salutes entirely by accident?
He was trying to reproduce the dynamic of the OK hand sign.
What happened then is that neonazis online thought it would be hilarious to use the innocent sign as an in-joke. Leftists caught on quickly since they are obsessed with fascism coming back and the whole thing was quite public. Then the OK sign spread gradually from online self-professed neo-nazis to real life hard right politicians. Finally, when leftists said "this is a neo-nazi symbol", they got laughed at in the media by these rightist politicians along with the apolitical neutral commentators.
This had two effects : first, it paints the left as a bunch of crazies and the hard right as relaxed funny types by comparison; second, it acted as a shibboleth. What I mean by that is that if became possible to know people's politics by simply showing them the sign and asking "what is this?" — you'd get either a puzzled look, a denunciation of far right politics, or a knowing chuckle and wink.
Musk tried doing the same thing with his nazi salute : build some plausible deniability with the "I give my heart to you" comment, and then immediately afterward tweeting stuff like "the Nazi attack is sooo tired". The hard right base recognized the drill and started using it as a shibboleth too.
But it was too much too fast, the whole of MAGA wasn't ready to commit to literally Nazi salutes, so it was written off as Musk being a weirdo.
You can tell it wasnt a simple mistake because then Musk would have produced some kind of blabd corporate apology afterward, not immediately made nazi puns on social media
lol, I see this kind of dumb shit escaped reddit
I guess I should expect to see stupid people everywhere
The man stands on stage and says, "And I think you from the bottom of my heart" and then he taps his heart and waves
That's factually, actually, literally, what happened
Is also a Nazi Salute? Yes, and that's what makes it so fucking funny. The dude is that much of a fucking dipshit he accidentally gave the Nazi Salute
Did he stand on stage and literally Hail Hitler? No

Click the link coward and stop lying chud.
I don't even think he's that smart
I think he's just a fucking moron that didn't realize what he was doing. It's like something Peter Griffin would do on Family Guy except, in real life
It's hilarious and I'm not annoyed people are shitting on Elon, I'm annoyed people are so ready to see the worst in everything that they literally can't see one of the funniest fucking things that happened in a long time
If it walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi, and fucking seig heils like a nazi... Its probably a nazi.
it only needs to do one of these things to be a Nazi...
Both can be right. I would like Elon Musk easily killed, and believe nobody should feel bad about it. Let's face it, Billionaires are a modern day plague killing us in various ways. As such I want them executed for crimes against humanity, but might settle for every last one of their assets and a vow of poverty enforced by the public.
No this one definitely needs corporal punishment. Hang him.
You mean capital punishment. Corporal punishment could be a literal slap on the wrist.
Caning to death is a bit more than slaps
Yes. And 'to death' elevates it to capital punishment.
Nope, no Nazis here!
It's so sad and strange to me that Elon still doesn't understand why people don't like him. Also, he doesn't understand that people don't have to like him either.
I've seen it with CEO types, they are egocentric so don't realize that not everyone wants to be like them, or hold the same beliefs. They prop up their fragile ego with "I'm the best, people want what I have" self talk.
He understands perfectly. He just likes playing the poor oppressed white guy.
Like most white South Africans I've encountered.
Very common with Rich people. They love trying to convince everyone that they're very hard done by. Most rich people would have you convinced they're poorer than you, if you let them.
I don't wonder if it's because he's bought and paid for so many "yes-men" around him, surrounded by sycophants when he sees people talk poorly about him, it just doesn't line up with his day to day world view he bought. I doubt a single engineer who works for him has ever told him no, or that what he's doing is dumb.
Where the fuck is the white supremacy. This guy literally thinks he's superior to everyone on top of it.
I don’t understand why people think he is smarter than average and why he has such an ego, he sounds like a lot of managers I have had who got to their position impressing uninformed people by repeating things he hears engineers say (usually incorrectly)
it's worse than that. he sounds like every insecure, self-aggrandizing, semi-handicapped 20 year old who ever worked a bottle return at a supermarket.
he's a man that NOBODY would ever pay attention to if he weren't rich.
would be have any kind of internet following if he was joe blow instead of elon musk? fucking nope.
World's first trillionaire is just as worthless as he's always been.
Henry Ford, John Rockafeller, and Andrew Carnagie would be proud.
He loved Hitler
People encouraged others to murder him because he's an evil dragon hoarding more wealth than his entire extended family could ever spend in all their lifetimes while directly killing people through USAID and other illegal cuts that never actually made a budgetary difference. Their argument is: if billionaires shouldn't exist, trillionaires definitely shouldn't...
Elon is the richest human to ever live. His net worth surpasses that of some countries. He's trying to defend Nazi like actions (including the Nazi saute) to strangers on the Internet. He could do so much good in this world, but instead he's a piece of shit.
Hell, he's got enough money to be Batman or Tony Stark at this point.
They call you a Nazi, because you're a Nazi. The murder part is just a bonus.
He's also just a selfish cunt that is a stain on humanity
Nobody would think he was a problem if he wasn't also a Nazi, it's true.
Hungarian here, the moment saying the word "nazi" became "politically incorrect", the concept of a "far right" became unspeakable in public discourse, even if someone wore nazi memorabilia in public, and we were told to never ever again use the tern "far right" in public. It took a decade of "FideSS" and the government's public apathy to growing right wing extremism to fix things, and not everything is back to "normal" (at least anti-Roma sentiment is less popular now, same with anti-LGBTQIA+).
Don't forget the mom and dad that also seem weirdly Nazi themed.
His dad is a freak. He married his own step daughter.
And his falling out with his father may have been because he wanted to marry his step sister instead.
Can't it be both?
More effective in real life.
No, the reason I encourage people to murder him is because he’s a nazi.
Maybe he would be more popular if he used his money and influence to create a better world. Say what you want about Gates, but that foundation of him and his wife saved tens of millions of lifes. It seems like Musk isn't even trying to create the illusion of using his money for the benefit of society.
I have a lot to say about Gates. He realized that he was an evil POS and decided to create his own foundation to push his own views on various things around the world. His work had some positive effects, some negative effects, and if he actually valued human life, he would have campaigned to raise taxes on the ultra-rich or paid his workers more.
Let's not pretend Bill has much humanity in him. He's almost as bad as Elon. That's better than nothing, for sure.
thats the point ketamine musk, have you not seen inglorius bastards, or
Him saying people want to kill me just might be the reason someone kills him evtl.
I mean yeah, Eat the Rich and such, but honestly I don't want these people dead. I want them held accountable.
The problem is that these oligarchs are richer than entire countries. Noone is powerful enough to hold them accountable, and noone ever will.
A single dollarstore drone packed with explosives on the other hand...
I want legal wording that'll make it so he has to give up half his fortune back to the world economies that he operates in.
That would be the perfect fuck you. Making legal wording at the UN (and BRICS) and making it illegal to be able to be that rich and once you get that rich you're forced to evenly redistribute half your fortune to the countries you do business in.
If you don’t want them dead you’re part of the problem.
I want them cowed to mundanity
Puts possibly the largest target on themselves of anybody in history.
People want to kill me? Well fucking duh, how about not trying to be the richest drug addict white supremacist carnival barker in history. Did you think that lying to everyone with a PR team to run cover for you would last forever.
Him saying people want to kill me just might be the reason someone kills him evtl.
I mean yeah, Eat the Rich and such, but honestly I don't want these people dead. I want them held accountable.
And he's wrong. We don't want people to murder him. We want him to decide that he's going to personally settle Mars and go on a space mission and live out the rest of his days in outer space, or inner space, or at least on another planet, far from us.
If he gets to Mars, great. We still don't have to deal with him. If he doesn't get there, then at least he'll have some kind of ironic ending.
Also, if you look at the impact that cutting USAid has, he's one of the good biggest mass murderers in human history.
No, I want him to serve the rest of his life in prison, with his withered dick, ruminating on how he ended up in a tiny dungeon, even though he had all that money, and should be living the most luxurious life on the planet.
I'll settle for murder.
We don’t want people to murder him.
Also, if you look at the impact that cutting USAid has, he’s one of the good biggest mass murderers in human history.
The fixation on USAID is really annoying, as it's a known front for intelligence services that provides aid as a second-order benefit. Doggedly insisting that millions of people are dying because USAID doesn't exist is a cop-out. US foreign policy focused on encircling, embargoing, arming dissidents, and outright bombing public infrastructure creates far more pain and suffering than anything USAID resolves. The real crimes of the Musk Administration have been on the Pentagon side of the equation - facilitating military actions in Sudan and Ethiopia, the Philippines, Libya, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank, and Iran - through his Starlink network.
He's a mass murderer because he provides material support for mass murder, not because he cut back on the CIA's "Food for Snitches" program.
Well no. There was a program that gave people food. It also did other things. He cut the food, said he wouldn't allow people to starve, and then they did... Did he expect them to die? Yes. Did everyone predict that they would? Yes. Did he have control over all of it? Yes... That's on him and his underlings.
It's obviously multi purpose, but its main purpose is humanitarian aid that saves lives and keeps our national reputation out of the gutter.
One of the things that has kept us from going the way of the Soviet Union is having most of our international meddling being saving lives and fixing things. It at least partly makes up for (or at least distracts from) the heinous shit we do as well.
Remember that he's admitting that people want to kill him. Also remember that right after he did the Nazi Salute on live television, he was suddenly carrying his son around everywhere. A son, that by all accounts, he didn't seem to give too much of a shit about beforehand. He was using that kid as a human shield, folks. Most people wont shoot at a man holding a kid and he knew it.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
He could quickly end this constant fear by lowering his net worth to a human-scale level with no practical impact to his lifestyle.
Just do literally anything besides be a gigantic asshole with all his wealth. He couldn't even manage to help save those kids in that cave without being a fucking dick about it. Dude needs to stfu and go to therapy.
Guy who spends vast fortunes finding, organizing, and financing far-right criminal gangs to commit violent crimes against non-white population centers: "They are only calling me names because they want to hurt me."
More of a side perk.
Like he murdered 600,000 children?
Inter alia / But wait, there’s more!
🤞🏾
Melanie is correct and fuck Leon Hitler. The asswipe neo-Nazi should be deported and stripped of US and Canadian citizenships.
People that earn thier money dont have any delusions of being a victim.
We allowed it, so to complain is only an indictment against ourselves.
