Original poster deleted it between when I opened the article and when I tried to comment on it. Dunno why, but here it is again.

It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others - be it sonsabitches GOP congresscritters and senators or Musk - rather than worry about keeping your job, paying the bills and making ends meet.
As far as I’m concerned, they can all die a painful death and I wouldn’t give the tiniest shit.
This is about paying bills.
Rumps agenda is going to end EV subsidies. Subsidies Tesla could use, maybe even needs. Without them Tesla could be in trouble, and by extension Musk would be.Musk will be fine. He holds Trump by the balls because SpaceX holds the United States by the balls.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. trump is paying fast and loose with the standards of law and he has a history of going after his opponents. There are already grounds that can be exaggerated to strip Musk of US Citizenship. At that point a foreign national would be owning a company that has national defense impacts. The government could force a sale just like they are with TikTok.
Well OBBB WAS about ending assistance for welfare queens…
And Elon IS the world’s biggest one…

Lol. This is a past time of every class, equally.
Lol. This is a past time of *individuals in every class,
equally.It is not, in fact, a pastime of every class equally. Considering that the capitalist class makes their entire living from controlling and intimidating workers into doing actual work for them, the capitalist class systemically and explicitly spends their whole lives bullying others and being so rich that bullying people is all they ever have to worry about. Obviously we have working class individuals who suck too, but bullying others is not a systemic feature of the working class.
Major party voters. Antiunion and union working class. Church, mosque and temple members (witch trials, inquisition, when people held a grudge and used these and police forces). Snitches. Attention seekers. You’re free to disagree, and I said what I said.
You have exhibited subsets of the working class, only some of which are obsessed with bullying. But even if for charitability’s sake we assume that all those subsets are hypothetically obsessed with bullying…you have not presented (1) a set of subsets that covers the entire working class, or (2) a mode of causality to suggest why this is a feature of the working class systemically, i.e. a reason why such a covering exists.
I don’t expect many of us would either, it’s just a matter of getting society to see who their enemies really are, and just how many allies the “take care of each other” extremist organizations really have out there.
Yeah good luck with that. We’ve had 6000 years to get our shit straight and it’s still the same. We only came close twice.
1781 and 1793 and both of those went tits up with Trump and Napoleon respectively.
Remember when he said he was exiting politics to return to running his companies?
What he meant was he was exiting conservative politics to return to pandering to the type of people who actually buy the products he’s trying to sell. He thought sucking Trump’s dick would get him lucrative government money, which it might have eventually, but it came at a cost he wasn’t willing to pay. Now he’s going the other direction to act like the good guy and fighting against Trump.
Now he’s going the other direction to act like the good guy and fighting against Trump.
Who will believe he is the good guy? He pissed off liberals when he abandoned green initiatives and threw his lot in with climate changers. Then he pissed off conservatives when he had his war of words with the orange turd. Moderate Republicans that may oppose trump are put off by Musk’s antics and insistence of introducing internet humor into business dealings and products.
He has no supporters anymore and any group he’s trying to court wants nothing to do with him.
Whether he’s Sméagol or Gollum I’m just waiting for him to fall in that volcano.
Nah. As soon as Trump re-add the electric car subsidies he’ll be a happy boy all over again
He is not doing this for the people. He still doesn’t give a half shit about Medicaid of the average Americans.
That’s what he’s doing here.
Making sure Tesla gets to take advantage of the EV subsidies.
Do it. Do the right thing for the wrong reason, you giant man-baby.
The enemy of my enemy is who I’m cheering for now.
I’m not cheering for him. it’s all theater. he’s going to grasp at popularity now that he’s gotten the deregulations he wants. maybe he’ll go and abuse the minds of more young boys with that popularity too. that’ll be a great way to stay rich and powerful for yrs to come
Never trust a Nazi
Just wait. He’ll have a couple of different stances by the weekend.
Full apology and prostration inbound.
That at least would make him a bit useful if he actually did it, but I would not trust him to pull this through.

But you wanted this, you inbred piece of shit!
I DiDnT VoTe FoR ThIs.
He was high as balls so let’s see if he sticks to that after he comes out of it.
Looks like his implants are failing
This guy has been so cringe for the last 5 years it’s so hard to look at. Fractally cringe. Every single thing he does is cringe, his little adventures are cringe and his whole journey is cringe af. Cringe King.
He is so freaking boring!
we will believe when we you see you actually doing it, otherwise it just a pump and dump for your failing brand.
He just wants his version of dystopia, not theirs.
Until next week when he flops again.
