Summary
Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.
He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.
Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks “domestic terrorism,” vowing arrests.
Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a “peaceful company,” saying “I’ve never done anything harmful.”
Is he seriously thinking that people might have empathy for him if he says that?
No it’s just fake for the MAGA who are still fully delusional according to the conservative subreddit
“iVe nEver dOnE aNytHiNg hArMFuL”
I specifically remember the bud light and trans controversy where they were boycotting bud light. Elon seemed to support that. Now that people are trading in their teslas and boycotting all of a sudden it’s not good.
Well yeah he isn’t pro trans. It’s moral consistency /s
Hate Musk all you want, leave the Tesla cars and stations alone. Anti fascists doing fascist things. The irony of it all is beyond amusing.
Elon Musk is 3 beers away from cornering his most attractive niece at Thanksgiving and lecturing her for 38 minutes about how Lincoln started the “War of Northern Aggression.”
Well, I guess that’s still a step ‘up’ from his dad, with the 40 year age gap between him and his baby mamma/former step daughter, saying “Show me the rules that say I can’t groom/fuck/marry my former step daughter. Show me the rules.”
Certainly not enough of a step
It’s less of a step, more of a slightly uneven bit of floor.
Can’t wait to see his reaction when robotaxis will get Wile E. Coyoted.
Not harmful for him or his fellow billionaires…
He’s moved them all closer to the chopping block.
His intention wasn’t that, but to just enrich himself and his fellows even more.
you routinely go on social media and cheerlead for butchers committing genocide in ukraine and gaza, amongst other things.
terminal affluenza. doesnt understand that actions have consequences.
Social murder is murder, plaster-faced bitch.
I don’t know which is scarier: Musk lying about this, or actually being so self-unaware he really doesn’t know what an enormous shitbag he is.
He’s an actual sociopath
I’m not being hyperbolic, he’s an actual clinically sociopathic person, of course he thinks he hasn’t done harm.
Clinically psychopathic. Sociopathy is the result.
The distinction is important because neurotypical people can be raised to behave in ways that are sociopathic, both directly and indirectly. Most of the ultra wealthy who are born into wealth for example explain away the harms their lives cause others. But they still feel and express empathy in many aspects of their lives
But Musk seems genuinely like he has no genuine empathy, and like he has no comprehension of how to be a moral actor in the world. Trump is the same.
Being reasonable intelligent and born into privilege in the world that rewards sociopathy through the market system… psychopaths seem to disproportionately find themselves in positions of power. It’s perverse.
fires thousands of people in violation of the law why do you hate me???
I’m just trying to be a Nazi dictator and everyone hates on me 😭
“What’s that noise? Where did all these chickens come from…?!?”
A) Dig the name.
B) “The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!”
So I’ve tried it a couple times now, with varying degrees of success, but I want to write a paper which takes a lifecycle approach to excess deaths by industry. My goal was to come up with a deaths/ billion estimate, to figure out a quantity of wealth after which we could decide, the person holding that wealth has effectively committed murder; then we buffer it by 10x to account for the fuzziness of the math, and we set that as the global maximum wealth cap.
Its practically impossible to believe that any industry results in 0 deaths per billion. However, when I did the first couple intial forrays into the research, its very dificult to pin down exaclty which is the source industry for a given death (for example, fossil fuels contribute massively to peoples deaths. But so does tobacco. Electric vehicles dont have tail pipe emissions, but might use fossil fuels in their construction, etc… etc…)
Here is some summary output from that.
To compare the estimated premature deaths per billion dollars of profit between tech companies and a fossil fuel extraction company, we'll examine ExxonMobil as a representative example. ExxonMobil's Annual Profit: In 2024, ExxonMobil reported a net income of $33.7 billion. investor.exxonmobil.com Estimating Premature Deaths Due to Fossil Fuel Emissions: A study by Vohra et al. (2021) estimated that fossil fuel combustion-related fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) pollution was responsible for approximately 10.2 million premature deaths globally in 2012. investor.exxonmobil.com Calculating Premature Deaths per Billion Dollars of Profit: To estimate the number of premature deaths attributable to ExxonMobil's operations per billion dollars of profit, we can use the following approach: Global Fossil Fuel CO₂ Emissions: Approximately 35 billion metric tons annually. ExxonMobil's Contribution: ExxonMobil's operations contribute to a portion of these emissions. While exact figures vary, estimates suggest that ExxonMobil's products account for about 1.3 billion metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, representing approximately 3.7% of global fossil fuel CO₂ emissions. Attributable Premature Deaths: Applying this percentage to the global premature deaths: 10,200,000 deaths×0.037≈377,400 deaths 10,200,000deaths×0.037≈377,400deaths Deaths per Billion Dollars of Profit: 377,400 deaths33.7 billion USD≈11,200 deaths per billion USD 33.7billion USD377,400deaths≈11,200deaths per billion USD Comparison with Tech Companies: Previously, we estimated the number of premature deaths per billion dollars of profit for tech companies, assuming their energy consumption was entirely sourced from fossil fuels: Samsung: Approximately 1,004 deaths per billion USD Google (Alphabet): Approximately 153 deaths per billion USD Microsoft: Approximately 209 deaths per billion USD Conclusion: If we attribute a proportional share of global premature deaths from fossil fuel emissions to ExxonMobil based on its contribution to global CO₂ emissions, the company is associated with approximately 11,200 premature deaths per billion dollars of profit. This figure is significantly higher than the estimates for tech companies, reflecting the direct role of fossil fuel extraction and production in contributing to air pollution and associated health impacts.I mean, forget the dismantling of the United States of America. Even without that, he sued into oblivion and made it untenable wherever possible to even get recompense from Tesla after the cars self-crashed or self-destructed. Musk is a walking, talking pile of shit harming everyone wherever he can. He made a person saving miners out to be a pedophile. He names his fucking kid an unpronounceable series of letters and numbers. This man is a fucking shouldabeenabort plaguing the whole world.
And he’s a deadbeat dad.
