He's a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.
Enough Musk Spam

Fuck all billionaires. Including this Mexican one idfc what he did to musk
I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it's difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It's slim pickings.
Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.

Bill flew on the Lolita Express repeatedly, so I hope nobody chooses that one
It's an extremely fraught decision, for sure.
it’s difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically
It simply can't be done. How can it be ethical to earn millions times more than you could ever need, while others are in need of it. That's unethical regardless of if how it was earned. Not a big Jesus fan, but he's quite right about the need to share with those in need.
Is Musk becoming the new Mike Lindell? I hope so.
He just fucked with the wrong Mexican.
Best heavy blow for Tsarlink
Really glad to see Elon Musk getting absolutely fucked. Let's have more of that.
It’s America getting fucked, not him.
Keep in mind he might be working for them doing this on purpose to us.
We just know he doesn’t care about America.
Might? Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin for two years
However, he's obviously destroying the US government and bureaucracy right now, but I don't think he's destroying his own businesses on purpose. He's just dumb.
"Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'..."
That must count as the most financially ruinous tweet ever. Serves Elon right for being a total prick.
Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.
Yeah though his total demolition of the company wasn’t done by that tweet. He had to keep making bad decisions for that!
To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.
Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I'd argue that him buying Twitter wasn't as stupid a move as it initially seems.
Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn't an accident and he doesn't care about the value of shitter in the long term.
Elon musk must have read Art of the deal recently, it’s obvious in his recent business dealings
this is what happens when you run a government the way you're used to running the monopoly you own. "hardball" doesn't work on the global stage.
Good. Unfortunately, it just means Elon will be enraged to decimate America further.
Really hoping for a Player 2. I'd do it myself but I'm a terrible shot.
You love to see it
Sauce please? Because that is fucking amazing!
That's called "voting with your wallet". Everyone should do that! Here in Europe we tanked Tesla sales. Rich and poor - everyone can do what's right.
Not everyone's wallet has that kind of pull.
Here's the thing... there's more of us than there are of them. That's why they're so desperate to keep our collective attention elsewhere and to cause division or people might recognize just how strong they could be collectively.
Even collectively we might not have billions of dollars, but it doesn't take billions to crater a company or an industry. Just takes not paying into the system; it'll collapse on its own.
I get you can't boycott everything because you need food and water to survive, but people aren't helpless.
Musk is a deranged idiot
He must have checked his list of criminal dealings, saw that Musk was on it, and decided to correct it.
Jesus dude... if you want to piss away your money, I'd take a couple hundred million
Turns out being a Nazi is bad for business in the 'globalist' 21st century.
I don't have a business degree, so can someone help me understand if this is how you win at stonks?
Oh no! Anyway I made fantastic Swedish coffee at this morning, really delicious, I can say.
Musk will most likely blame it on South African apartheid and him being discriminated against.
Keep it up world. Bankrupt Musk. Let’s make the world’s richest man, the poorest. Rob him of absolutely everything.
It’s sad how happy this makes me…. Oh well.
