I thirst for the fall of Elon Musk because he represents a new escalation in total idiot billionaire impunity and lawlessness.
I do not want to live in a world where Elon Musk is the highest power.
There are so many huge problems in the world that need solving so I have no idea why seeing Musk crash and burn is my visceral favourite.
All I know is I feel an irrational rage every time I see his latest dim-witted, bigoted post.
I get it and agree with you. But WE (and I mean ‘we’ in the collective sense) made him ‘the highest power’. We use PayPal, bot Teslas (and use his superchargers), watch his rockets takeoff & land, use satellite services launched from said rockets, use his solar panels, etc. WE created this monster
don't you know that Elon Musk - like climate change and all other demons that plague us - was caused explicitly and exclusively from the consumer choices of women
Whenever I see shit like this I immediately think “we who, mfer? You’d better have a mouse in your pocket, ‘cuz there ain’t no ‘we’ here. Just you and your wrongness.”
I’m not one to say “I told you so” but gosh I sure think it hard these days wrt Musk and all the old “genius” talk that so many got so enthralled in. 
He was at best a crazy rich dude that was pouring capital into interesting research areas, I never understood the musk hype train even before mask off he was still barely tolerable
I first started hating him when he was suing car reviewers for saying obviously true things ("it can run out of power", "the chargers are hard to find") and I looked him up and found he was a self-aggrandizing ass. I think that was in like 2012?
I appreciated that he was sinking a ton of money into space tech and thought that somehow excused some eccentricity.
I was 132% wrong about that, and he should have been drawn and quartered in the town square.
The first time, several years ago, I said he was a dumbass to a group of friends, a few of them pushed back pretty hard and I will never let them forget that
years ago, I remember hearing that he fired interns at spaceX for fun if he caught them, like, getting a snack in the kitchen. i've hated him since then.
let’s save people with corporations!!
(i get that it helped, that doesn’t make it an inherently good idea and watch Palestinians denied it in real time)
They may still get some. Hopefully.
It's an expensive solution which is most useful in crisis situations or very remote locations. Like satellite phones.
Who makes HIMARS, F-16s, etc? The stuff we and Ukraine use for defence. Corporations.
You could say "it should be all produced by the state" but even the Soviet Union maintained competing weapons production bureaus.
It is, in fact, remarkably easy! In Seattle you can't cross the street without being hit by a Tesla. We managed to buy our electric car without ever darkening their showrooms or website.
Oh they walk among us. The people here who got seriously sucked in try to tread carefully now, pretend that they only really liked Tesla and were never actual Musk fans, that kind of thing. People who spent 2017-2020 in the most psycho Tesla stock forums, amplifying and remixing Elon's brain worms.
Seriously. I don't even *drive*, I'm as detached from PayPal as it's possible to be on the modern internet (sigh!), no way in hell would I use the Fuck Astronomers In Particular service, and so on.
And I haven't touched Xitter in months now.
Nope.
1) Tesla's inflated share price is a creation of investors, not consumers.
2) SpaceX is a creation of the US government, by a decision process far removed from voters (and totally disconnected from non-USians).
3) Elon didn't invent PayPal.
4. Lots of non-Musk solar panels out there.
