it's not like the Dems are particularly left anyway
more liberal sure, but there policies are more centre/right..
and he probably just voted for them because they were the better party for his EV company at the time

Yeah if we're saying Elon Musk was ever 'left-wing' the term has truly become meaningless.
Absolutely, awfully pragmatic I imagine. Also tracks as Teslas were made in Cali before Texas I believe - might be wrong.
Yeah, I think it's because he is a tech guy which seems to be seen as more left leaning (never understood why) when if he was a finance guy, he'd be seen as more right-wing.
Teslas were made in Cali before being moved to Texas due to taxes, I think. Or employment laws, one of the two, or both.
Absolutely tragic, you cannot buy being cool.
Thought as much.
I understand a lot of this stiff from plainsite which I would recommend everyone checks out directly on the site as they Aaron left twitter when Musk took over.
The feck was the plan here? Sing a duet?
That's an awful lot of twattishness on one stage.
Two reflections.
1. For someone who encourages 'hardcore' work and installs beds at the offices of his companies, Elon Musk sure has a lot of time to feck around and not work himself.
2. Dave Chapelle is so pathetic. "All the people booing have terrible seats", "Booing is not the best thing you can do". Standing up for the megarich is not a good look.
He's really really dangerous, people like him shouldn't have so much influence.
State of Chappelle these days. What a twat. Only Ronaldo has crashed and burned faster than him.
I think Musk doesn’t fully grasp the scale of public discontent related to his Twitter antics. He probably lives in a secluded bubble surrounded by sycophants where he thinks he can easily dig his way out of any mess. Meanwhile Tesla’s stock is crashing and Twitter is now worth a fraction of when he bought it.
Lucky for him twitter is too powerful of an engine to fail. Even all of us that hate him tend to hate him on the platform giving him more traffic.
I think Musk is on the steady path towards Kanye-fication and in a decade I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he's dead from some sort of overdose or imprisoned for some massive fraud.
He wants to be liked. He wants to be cool. He was all of this around 2015 or so but now he's desperately trying to chase that and it burns him that he can't get there.
All that said, I think as a company Twitter was in absolute shambles financially before Musk took control. They had no plan or idea on how to make this money pit work. The mass layoffs, the grind culture etc is all needed if the company is to have any chance of turning a profit.
Borderline fascist way of thinking. The people who have a different outlook than me must be defeated.

I don’t think Twitter is too big to fail at all. One inciting incident from Musk and Tim Cook will pull Apple advertising from Twitter and that will be that. Someone will create a Twitter clone and the masses will move fairly quickly.
That's the trickiest part. It's not that easy imo.
If I use twitter only on browsers with adblock installed and thus can't see any ads, does twitter still make any money from me using it?
There’s a herd behavior involved. Once people see a viable alternative that others are beginning to use, they will switch and begin to use both platforms and will gradually divest from Twitter once they get what they want from the new platform. It could happen relatively soon as well.
What a yuckster...
well his transgender daughter hates him for never playing any role in her life, his wife made him a fool and publicly begged to stop making an idiot of himself in front of cameras, I am not surprised at all he's on a personal crusade. Miserable man out of touch with reality and finding it difficult to accept not everyone loves him.
“There appears to be a political connection”
What the hell Dave. I really don't want to start hating you too ffs.
A political connection that might actually save lives. Every single one of these shitcars not hitting the road is a good thing. Coffins on wheels.
The blatant transphobia wasn’t enough for you? The man is a lost cause. Musk is precisely the company in which he belongs nowadays.
Nah, it’s just that the libs who previously bought Musk’s cars for all the right reasons are now souring on him because of his twattish political trolling.
It seems crazy, but I feel like Musk might actually be slowly killing Tesla.
what did Chapelle do wrong? The guy was his guest on stage he’s hardly gonna start laying the boot in is he
I think there's more nuance to it than that, but I agree some of the stuff in his most recent specials probably crossed the line a bit, sure. But he's still a magnificent comedian and a phenomenal orator and storyteller. His crusade against wokeism and cancel culture is getting really old though - even if I don't think it's completely without merit.
Which is the inciting incident for this moron:
1. grimes leaving
2. trans daughter publicly hating him
3. "predict few cases by april" - elon musk, march 2020
4. <marx> being a billionaire </marx>

Funny thing is more people are upset with him for this than when he literally stopped affordable housing from being built in his area.
Not really a surprise though. The somewhat socially, economically aware skinny Dave is gone. This buffed current version is a right wing twat.
I still don't get why a comedian would get a billionaire on stage, is there any background to this?
This guy really is the new Avenatti, isn't he? I wonder if he'll be in jail in half a year as well.
They probably know each other, not necessarily for political reasons.
He’s a self promoter, that’s about where the similarities hit a brick wall.
Ye but if i'm watching a comedian perform I don't expect him to randomly call his friends on stage...
