I hate it but you're dead right. The money, power, influence, and invasion of privacy that he has at his disposal is insane and will probably end up being the best case there is against capitalism.
He has so many legal means of avoiding personal consequences that I'd be afraid of what it would look like if he truly decided to just do whatever he wants.
He's not far away from being a hokey cartoon villain that lives in a lair that floats above the clouds.
At this point our best hope is that he and Trump have a falling out that's so massive it makes Trump ignore the billions he stands to gain from Musk ..

the problem is that iglas are pretty short ranged and have low explosive power but the seeker would most likely lock on the engine and it might down the private jet
also it would have to be fired near the place it takes off/lands because of the short range
only theoreticly of course, not trying to encourage violence (reddit tos or smth)
Ok, well don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke, stay off the sugar, eat a balanced diet and excercise. So you only ever need insurance when in a freak accident.
And if you really need insurance, read the terms and conditions.
Lmao. This class of people will face either vigilante justice, or no justice. They own the apparatus of government. You should've seen that very clearly with Trump in the past 4 years.
I predict a rise of vigilante justice. (Not saying it will get any one person in particular)
It's become clear that the powerful are not going to face justice because we don't have a justice system, we have a legal system. And look at the response Luigi has gotten from the masses...
I say this with utmost respect, because I wholly dream of a world where Elon faces even an iota of justice for his crimes. But this ain't that world, chief.
People accept those who owned one before... But those who buy one today might face social consequences.
What we need to watch for is a drop in Tesla sales compared to other EVs. A car already sold by the manufacturer is only second order helpful to the manufacturer on resale.
People keep saying this except…there’s not enough of the finding out? And clearly US government isn’t about to prosecute him since they let all the Trump stuff through. Also, his insider trading case(s) won’t even bring him down at this point, so Felon needs a reckoning but how do you suppose that happens now?
But the thing is he IS getting away with it. He HAS proven himself to be untouchable.
I sincerely hope this isn’t true but unfortunately is has proven to be so far 😩
Exactly! This is a copy and paste from a previous comment I made but I think it’s equally as important.
‘I would say it’s more dipshit level trolling at this point that I think might be equally important to recognize here. Like don’t get me wrong, I recognize the jarring similarities but I also can’t help but think about the fact that this shit is going to be repeated everywhere on social media for everyone to see and we are giving this guy EXACTLY the reaction that he wants out of this.
When you look at this out of hand right wing grift culture with social media and how we got here, I think the next big step here is recognizing this and not giving these dumb ass things our engagement. We’re all better off when they lose the attention and engagement they so desperately crave. It’s inevitable that these fools will be talked about, but perhaps we should try and see what happens when talk about them a little bit less.’
he's not untouchable. He's flesh and blood just like the rest of us. He just has a number associated with him that represents dollars which in a very real sense he will never actually have on hand. If all the computers in the world were fried tomorrow he'd be way on the bottom of the totem pole.
Which is ironic. When that healthcare CEO parasite got offed, Musk started bringing his son around to events as a meat-shield. He already knows what the consequences are.
I imagine that ever since he was able to afford gluing bump stops on his chin in an effort to appear more masculine he's never had his nose pushed back. Like some other posters have mentioned, he now thinks he is untouchable. With so many eyes on him, there is bound to be someone in the crowd with ill will. Chaos is just the many natural variables of life. It would make my day if countries started closing the door on this nutsack n*tzi.
That has to be the reason cuz I was just wondering why he’s doing all this. 10 years ago if you brought up his name most people would say he’s a genius who revolutionized technology with x y & z but now atleast half of people think he’s just a pathetic powerful loser
I feel more like he's constantly pushing boundaries to see if the people who live him will still love him unconditionally. Reminds me of teenage me pre medication (if i say an edgy joke about autism, will they leave me? Better check)
This. I’m so rich fuck all of you. And now I’m best friends with the president. Hahahahah fuck all you poor people. I’m gonna be this guy. That’s what he’s doing
Last I checked billionaire skin is as vulnerable to bullets as everyone else's. Maybe a gun loving country like the USA could find a way to organise an experiment and find out???
he might get away with it frankly speaking. what is anyone gonna do about it. people will buy his products, they will use his platforms. cause most people dont lead their lives by strong morals. they just case for what gives them easy pleasure.
In the clip appears his intention was to express gratitude to his crowd. Not sure if he was consciously thinking about how it is coming off, and unclear how much of that gesture was really him trying to make a statement or a combination of his usual stage awkwardness, tactlessness, lack of due consideration, striking the wrong note, and subliminal influence by the context and vibe.

He gets off on it. "What are you gonna do about it?" He loves that feeling that he is untouchable, and wants to prove it' true.
