    Musk breaks silence

    WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit covering an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.

      It’s literally the morning he would have the first opportunity to say something. So, zero silence. The source ain’t great. Sensationalistic, etc.

      Specifically on this subject he hasn’t said anything until this. So not breaking silence in general, just in this narrow area.

    Man who was literally giving people $100 to repeat his political rhetoric earlier this week says people who disagree with him are puppets, very reasonable cool and not projection /s

    Who are the puppet masters, Elon? Some shadowy cabal of oligarchs with even more money than you? Are they in the room with us right now?

    I’m sure they pay those protesters quite well 🙄

      That’s the thing I don’t get from Fox News and other conservative outlets.

      Who is paying these protestors? Why is this never a follow-up question? Why isn’t anyone from Fox or any other “journalistic” org investigating this? Or at least pretending to?

      Let’s assume that these protestors are paid. The most conservative estimate of the number of protestors is 2 million. Let’s halve that because, you know, conservatives want to downplay this whole thing.

      Assuming everyone was there for no more than two hours, and assuming minimum wage, we’re talking $7,250,000 for everyone. Let’s assume half were paid and half “followed along”.

      $3,625,000 just for paying the protestors. Ignoring web site domains, salaries for organizers, etc.

      Let’s call it an even $3 mill.

      Who the fuck is paying that?! This isn’t chump change. This is “journalism 101 follow the money trail” kind of money.

      I mean, I know, and you know, why they aren’t investigating. They just need a boogyman.

      But damn even the most cursory look at this excuse falls apart.

        Because they know it’s bullshit. It’s not journalism. It’s state media propaganda. It all makes more sense when you’re not expecting them to be journalists, much less, investigative journalists.

    He’s just salty because he knows that every single person in that massive crowd would cheer as the blade came down on his neck. In fact, they’d cheer louder for him, than almost any other person…except for one.

    The concept that the people have free thought is beyond his comprehension.

    He’s the same kind of idiot looking for the mastermind behind anon.

    EIon, every single one of these people independently hates you!

      He’s been manipulating people for so long he can’t imagine people doing anything without a puppeteer.

    I love how a billionaire “puppet master” can think so low of everyone, like nobody is intelligent to think for themselves, instead, relying on some unnamed “puppet master.” Yet he cannot name any alleged puppet master leading the over 1000 protests. What a freaking Muppet. Sorry - I don’t mean to insult the Muppets.
