Summary
Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.
Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.
Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.
I realized this morning that for how much Luigi is praised there haven’t been attempts to follow his example.
I don’t know why that felt relevant on this post and I’m definitely not advocating anything, just an observationJust because you didn’t hear about something doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
The home of State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF) CEO Chip Terhune in Lake Oswego, near Portland, was shot up in the early hours of Feb. 21, the Lake Oswego Police Department said Wednesday.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s been other incidents which were kept away from the news.
Most people capable of murder do not care about their fellow humans; and those of us who could often lack means or have to protect others closer to home. They cannot just go away without harming others who need them.
Once you get past all those filters it’s a very tiny percentage of people who have motive, means and opportunity. Most of those get unlucky.
Just about everyone is capable of killing given the right circumstances.

An certain Austrian duke comes to mind…here’s hoping that Elon gets to play his role in the remake.
I hope his story skips to the ending. Preferably live streamed to twitter.
That’s some pretty difficult tech to come by that he allegedly used. Here’s what I’ve worked out so far.
3d printed silencer and mech. Steel tube. Of the shelf cartridges altered to be subsonic exiting the barrel.
Hardly anybody is capable of such things, which is why it should be totally acceptable and not remotely a crime to share the information he used.
Musk a martyr? FFS, these people are so dumb.
Basically?
No, motherfucker. Literally.
And every article I see posted about Elons lame sorry ass further secures the aggressive positions I have taken against TSLA in the stock market.
Suffer, you petulant wealth goblin.
In Scotland we have a word for people like Elon, cunt
Ahhh…diddums lose a few billion dollars in notional worth? Are those bad bullies boycotting little Muskie’s terrible cars?
Ahhh… That’s so saaad…
I’ll celebrate with a drink if somebody does.
Come the margin call I’ma feast on a dozen fried eggs and maybe, just maybe a tiny smidge of K
And how many lives do you think he’s destroyed as he takes a chainsaw to their careers?
I don’t want him dead. I want him poor enough to need a gofundme when his drug abuse takes its toll.
So help crash his tesla stock so that the bank collects on his loan stock collateral, which will force him to to pay tax, too.

As many times as you want, but make sure its an odd number.
I want

Always thought that was Mark Twain, but snipes does give Darrow the credit - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mark-twain-obituary-pleasure/

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
If he would drop his doge bullshit the hate would fade almost overnight even with the Nazi salute shit
Why would any person want to kill Muskrat? I can’t even think of 10,000 reasons. I certainly don’t think the world would be a better place if he was feeding worms in a shallow grave.
I don’t want to kill Musk, but I’m not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.
Yeah, I don’t want to do it, but it would be convenient if he did
Don’t kill him. Just tax him like they would with a normal working person. That would throw him into a world of sufferung.

Let’s compromise: Let him pay taxes first, and then treat him as the traitor he is.
fuck the taxes. just seize all his assets. everything ‘he’ owns is now government property, debt-free.
if the banks don’t like it, they can do their part to never let this happen again.
I mean, that’s what a government that existed for the people would have already done. so maybe we should stop relying on a fictional government to save us?
Seize all his assets and put them into funds for universal health care, social security, WIC, etc. Then not to be cruel, provide him with food and shelter like you would any living creature; however to get to the food each day, he has to walk down a street that is lined with people who can jeer, boo, spit and laugh at him (but fenced off so not allowed to do any violence), and daily footage is streamed online for viewing by those unable to attend.
again, I think when this stops being worth the entertainment value, it’s okay to put him to the only genuinely pro-social use he’ll ever have in a field somewhere.
Ah. Execution by suicide. Absolutely lovely. 🥰
If only we used civil asset forfeiture on this traitor.
crash his tesla stock, and he will pay tax on them. Make elon the freeloader of tax payer subsidies pay his taxes.
A traitor to whom? South Africa? He seems to be doing a fine job for his country. More room on the global stage for them with Murca out of the picture.

Musk stated that his immigration path included “a gray area” regarding his work eligibility in Silicon Valley during his early career.
I don’t even think he has a green card.

i mean, he’s already lost $200B net worth. If we keep at it, he will be in the gutter soon enough.
Put him to death for treason and tax his estate at 100% and absorb Space X into NASA.
It isn’t just him. The whole oligarchy have understand that the guillotine is being prepared and that they are next.
Then maybe they will pretend to not be assholes, and thus save themselves.
I think he’s done enough damage and stolen enough from the american people that he deserves to hang.

If empathy’s a weakness then Karma is a bitch
I wish for him to be reborn as bee, so that when in anger he stings a person, he must remove his stinger himself in a desperate plea to survive or tear his innards out in the ultimate karma that would humble his soul.
Bees are pretty much the angels of the insect world… Harming no-one and nothing, and almost single-handedly holding up the ecosystem of a quarter of the planet’s life forms.
He’s got a long way to go to reach level bee.
Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn’t have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.
Just every day some little misfortune to balance out karma like wet sleeves after washing hands, occasionally stepping into dog crap, marmalade toast falling on the floor upside down, a few paper cuts, stepping onto lego barefoot, mobile phone falling into toilet bowl and so on.
Whoa whoa whoa, wishing death upon someone is one thing, but wanting them to step on a lego barefoot? You’re a monster.
but
What a whining fucking maggot. Elon and that whole cohort of cowardly cunts are destroying education, Social Security, international relations, food safety, financial security, and any kind of safety net for the tens of millions of people who will fall through the cracks and die because of their greed. Yeah, no fucking shit people want you dead. It’s not out of spite, or jealousy, or political differences. It’s self preservation.
If he were killed, his killer would be more popular than Luigi.
A man should have goals.
Women, too. Never forget: The female of the species is often deadlier than the male.
