What really gets me is how Elon Musk acts like American workers should be eagerly embracing the opportunity to Compete with the entire world, i.e. work harder and harder under worse and worse conditions for less and less pay. "If you don't view this as an exciting new Opportunity, you're a racist loser!" is his explicit message.

As if Elon himself relishes the Challenge of hiring more American workers, or training fresh talent, or paying people more for less work. That kind of increased Competition doesn't seem to be nearly as desirable for some reason. Not only does he make use of these extremely faggy Shaming tactics, he's also a giant hypocrite.

@ChristiJunior
This is how you know the difference between people who's morality is 100% pragmatic, and who's morality is based on universal principles.

And also, why I understand Elon 100 times more, then Thunderfoot ever will. Elon might be briliant and hard working. But he is completely self-centered. That means, that he is fighting the woke ONLY, because it did ruin his personal life a great deal. On the other hand, free speech???? Fighting for the good life of his employees? :omegalul:

Just look at this clip. He cannot even accept the concept of people being happy while working. youtube.com/watch?v=6pLLVqqF8V

Thunderf00t misses the forest for the trees when it comes to criticizing Elon. This has hurt his cause far more than helped, because he comes across as a seething retard with EDS. Same reason everybody with TDS constantly fails to criticize Trump on things that actually matter.
Years of clouding your judgement with nonstop seething can knock double-digits off your IQ.
@Hoss @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty I mean you can kinda understand why he's so mad. He's acredited scientist nobody and Elon is conning people with grand stupid ideas
Elon's grift has survived all this time because for every ten of his retarded failed promises, his loyal wagie armies occasionally deliver him a W that vindicates the cultists. Like when Starlink went online and actually worked, or when they successfully caught the reusable rocket booster.
tbf though, when the promises you make are so huge, any one W would be enough for most people to build an entire career off of.

But you have to take Elon for what he is: It's a complicated mess of things, good and bad and all over the place. He's a capitalist, but he's only the world's richest man because he's a crony capitalist. He was a darling of the left for creating the useless EV industry, but he's a darling of the right for taking over Twitter and making some boomer tier tweets. He helped Trump get elected, but he's still a neoliberal who wants to import unlimited cheap labor. He lies a lot about his projects, but some of his projects have been knock it out of the park successes.

And you can just go "Oh, well those projects weren't from him", but I've seen how you can have a lot of technologies that never get off the ground despite being ready to go for decades, and it seems like a surprising number of techs do actually get to market under Elon, so while he might not be what people treat him like, he's obviously got the right stuff in his head to get things done when they're actually possible.

So friend or foe? He's more like an unpredictable 800 pound gorilla.

And we have a room filled with fragile plates, that we don't want to stay in one piece.
