      Elon Musk had a really good PR team, that’s how he survived all of this thing. Otherwise he would been seen the same as Bill Gates.

      see a swasticar with a “I bought this before he was crazy” sticker

      laugh

      vandalize it anyway because he’s literally a born-and-raised fascist

      Fr not just his dad, his other grandparents were literal Technocrats who fled the liberal hell of Canada for the white paradise of Apartheid South Africa

        “I bought this before he was crazy” is what they put on to have a thought-terminating cliche of giving money to a fascist.

        For years he was batshit insane. I can forgive not knowing he sued to be called the inventor of PayPal and SpaceX, I only knew that like 2 years ago. I can’t forgive him doing/saying:

        • “We’ll coup anyone we want”

        • Suing for the right to call someone a pedo because they didn’t like his bad idea to save children stuck in a cave

        • Selling the Hyperloop to help destroy the California High Speed Rail

        • Coming from a family legacy of slave-ran emerald mines in Apartheid Africa

        Some of these are a few years old, to being something he’s always been part of. And depending when they bought a Tesla, they willingly gave this man money. And then slap a sticker, thinking that ignores being a walking billboard for as fascist’s brand, and how moronic they are as a person to give him the money, because I guess he said something funny on twitter 10 years ago.
