So what is it you want? What would be your Musk solution?
A problem can't begin to be solved unless it is acknowledged. Kinda like just writing off prominent Holocaust deniers as just "shooting off their mouth"

I hate to be the one that has to tell you this, but people are stupid. They say stupid things, they believe things that aren't true, they try to hide or mock information that doesn't align with what they believe. They hate those that don't accept their brand of stupid and assign them demeaning names to express their contempt.

Welcome to the human race.

Who knew Hitler's only problem is he was stupid.

Welcome to the human race.

The problem, though, is a system that elevates some such stupid people to positions of hugely disproportionate power and influence. Every billionaire represents a failure of the system.

You seem to be incapable or unwilling to see the cancer he is spreading throughout the country. X gives him a platform for spreading hate and disinformation. Just tad more than your ordinary asshole.
Nah, he just doesn't care. If it doesn't directly impact him in a negative way, it's fine.

basically, but also deep down he supports much of what musk supports, a war against the woke mind leftists.

in reality language is probably the single most powerful instrument available to humans, to get them to do things, both negative and positive. every negative movement in history can be tied to language getting people worked up - and the results have been horrific.

in this case the words are working up his team - the right, so wtf would greenman care? it's literally his team that musk is catering too. ultimately while he may or may not think musk says something dumb, in general, that's his team's boy, and he could care less how much damage those words are doing.

this is a synopsis but very accurate, thought it does not encapsulate his threats to Tesla. Elon is basically tweeting today he wants 25% of tesla stock as that is his rightful and correct ownership stake to steer the company in the right direction, as it is far more than a car company, and threatened to take all those other 'business lines' elsewhere if he doesn't get what he wants.

What was it he said at that interview?

"You gonna blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself." - something like it.

Sure sounds like he is trying to blackmail the board... for money.

You've got it all wrong, he's the virtuous savior of humanity, battling the evil woke mind virus and trying to wrest control from those who would thwart his valiant efforts. Why do you hate humanity, libtard?
