RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Yasch's guy good call Yasch wow, it's taken about a decade but i've finally found something where i disagree with Yasch22!
Musk is a dangerous person with a massive amount of power that can influence one of the most important elections in recent history. He is bad news, regardless of whether you're a tesla stock owner or not. he has meddled in this election by telling his twitter followers to vote R (something which no other credible social media platform should be doing if they wanat to be seen a neurtral) when it is painfully obvious that the right lie, cheat and steal to regain control so that they can further meddle in elections and instill trump in 2024. it's all about regaining and keeping power. a vote for the right is a vote to further erode democracy. plus, the republican party is no more - it's trump's maga party now, so him telling folks to vote republican is 100% an endorsement for trump. full stop.
and did he tweet something similar in 2018 (that we should have voted democrat the last mid terms, with the republicans in the white house)? you know, his justification of posting his silly tweet to vote republican this time around? of course not....he's a fraud and a snowflake (parody accounts are fine on twtter, just not parody's of Musk, of course) - that's not how any of it is supposed to work.
he also spread BS about Nancy Pelosi's husband, before deleting the tweet with zero explanation. and by the the damage was already done. and he seemed to cozy up to help right wing nuts on twitter (ye, for one), while ignoring people on the left that had similiar issues with the platform
regarding warren
rightfully calling musk out for his not paying corporate taxes. giving him credit for paying taxes on sales of stock is not a replacement for the rich f*cks with these massive companies. these are legit problems and he has chosen to be a baby about it. he's not the only one but again, it's painfully obvious that we need to tax the extremely rich. having a global minumum tax should help.
Yasch22 wrote: Musk has voted Democrat for as long as he's been an American citizen. For a number of the usual sick and bickering reasons a significant number of top Democrats started taking hard shots at Elon Musk starting in 2020, the same year that he went from being an ordinary billionaire (though rich only in shares accumulated in the five companies he run) to being one of the world's top five richest men.
Elizabeth Warren kept calling him a tax-dodging freeloader even after he paid the largest tax bill ($11b) in American history. Ex-Clinton cabinet minister Robert Reich and others keep dissing Musk's rags-to-riches narrative by claiming -- with full knowledge that they're lying -- that Musk inherited a huge amount of money from his father's investment in South African emerald mine. And Joe Biden spent the first year of his presidency insulting Musk, and Tesla, by repeatedly naming General Motors as the Great Leader of the electric vehicle revolution.
Anyway, Musk claims that he remains an independent centrist, though slightly left of that centre, while the Democratic party has moved far enough to the left to lead him to sympathize with Republicans.
That said, Musk has NO INTEREST whatsoever in promoting the looney tunes positions of a lot of people in the Republican Party. Musk is most interested in logic, in fairness, in doing what's best for people, and not just in the USA but around the world.
Moreover, Musk has NO SYMPATHY whatsoever for Q-Anon, for election denial, for the cult of Trump, for slander, for hate speech, for Putin's stupid invasion of Ukraine, and on and on and on.
