Pretty crazy how the richest man alive can't out pay the protestors current employers. So even in his narrative, he still ain't paying people.for.shit
When describing his Trump rally salute, you can use the word "nazi. It was a "nazi salute".
Man's so insulated from the working class he doesn't know how money works for real people.
I can get paid to do this? Where do I sign up?
Same, getting paid to do something I love is a dream. It would also be very funny if I got paid enough money as an anti-tesla protester to afford HRT with enough money left over to donate to worker liberation organizations :3
Seeing him suffer is payment enough
You guys are getting paid?
I'm getting paid. Not with money, but pure schadenfreude.
The reason he thinks they're paid is because that's how he gets people to do things. He doesn't understand any other type of motivation because his whole world revolves around money in exchange for services.
Yes Mr. Musk sir, your chips from 7-11 sir, on sale for only $10,000 sir. Yes sir, I’ll keep the change sir.
“They’re obviously not going to admit that the reason that they’re protesting is because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse, they’re gonna come up with some other reason, but that is the real reason for the protests,” said the billionaire.
Musk and DOGE have slashed the agency that manages Social Security, as he’s falsely criticized America’s core safety-net program as a “Ponzi scheme.”
They probably receive or expect to receive funds or services from Social Security or some other government program. The filthy swine.
Somehow, I don't think that this is going to do a great deal to heal any brand damage with progressives.
Frankly, I think that Mr. Musk would be considerably better off if he would simply stop tweeting or publicly-saying things before running them past a PR team.
because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse
Every accusation is a confession https://fortune.com/2025/03/26/elon-musk-tesla-under-investigation-canada-wrongfully-boosting-sales/
Hiring a PR team is too close to admitting that you recognize you say and do wrong things. Narcissism requires the denial.
IIRC he fired his PR team. That's why his reputation went down the toilet, we started getting raw Elmo instead of the shiny image his PR team had carefully crafted.
IIRC he fired his PR team.
Apparently so.
Frankly, I think that whatever said team cost would have paid for itself many, many, many times over from the "DOGE" incident alone, had it been able to dissuade Mr. Musk from engaging in it.
Who ever they were they really should advertise themselves as the people that were able to make elon look sane
I can get paid to tel Elmo henvan gonfuxk himself?
Why did nobody tell me?
Are these day gigs or are these kind of jobs something i need a resume for?
So Elon is just mad that he can't afford to hire protesters?
Fuck Elon. He put the stick in his own spokes.
Dumbass.
Perfect 👌
If there's nothing wrong with paying out millions of dollars for votes, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with paying for protests, either. Have your cake, and shut the fuck up while we force feed it to you, too.
Who the fuck is paying them? hes the in with the crowd who hoarded all the money
Maybe Elon is jealous that these "workers" were able to go home and sleep in their own beds at night. Unlike Elon, who apparently sucks so much at his job that he has to sleep in the office on the floor.
This is how much sympathy I have for you Felon Muskrat
Still too large of a violin.
Paid protestors, eh? I heard he was paying them to not protest and this is how much they hate him.
I heard that he offered them a million billion dollars and that they still refused because he sucks so much.
