    “I’ve never physically hurt anyone” says the guy who just dismantled USAID dooming tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to die through starvation, disease and conflict.

    Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.

      You could literally torture people to death without physically hurting them.

      He’s just drawing a false equivalence between not physically hurting people and never harming people.

      I’m sure the people that he’s targeted on social media feel harmed, like the “pedo guy” for example.

      I find it telling he had the self awareness to add that caveat, but in typical fashion, couldn’t follow the train of thought far enough to arrive at the logical conclusion. “I’ve taken away safety nets from the people, most are one paycheck short of being on the streets with nothing to lose, but what’s up with all these threats!?”

        There’s a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.

        I think Musk is going that route.

        It’s also been used to defend Brian the dead health insurance CEO.

          I know this is beside the point & off topic, but Hitler is well known for pulling the trigger at least once…

          spoiler

          He did what many time travelers aspire to.

          You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.

            He thinks he’s orders of magnitude smarter than anyone else and nobody with guts could possibly see those parallels.

            Frankly, we’ve been doing a great job of proving him correct.

            He’s still quite happy, healthy, and wealthy.

                I think he’s about as happy as any human being can be. Sure he has his less than perfect, probably performative sad moments on camera, but as they say, it’s hard to frown on a jetski.

        Oh, no. I don’t think you fully understand. He’s aware of what he’s doing to us. But as far as he’s concerned, we simply do not have the right to be upset about any of this, let alone fight back.

        That is the way elites parasites think. That’s how truly twisted they’re minds, not to mention morals, have become. The pain is intentional. But he honestly believes we deserve to be hurt, and further that he’s doing is a favor by reminding us of “our place”.

        Don’t make the mistake of sympathizing with the enemy.

          It’s not that we deserve to be hurt, it’s that he is helpng us, saving us and the pain that comes with that isn’t his fault. It’s the fault of the oppressors he has saved us from.

            Oh, I still think you’re being far more charitable than you realize. To people like him, we’re lesser. But their warped views rob themselves of a certain, I dunno, fulfillment. And if he’s not happy, and we’re less than him…

            "Elites parasites are sociopathic to the extreme. This poisons every thought, choice, and action. They do not think like you. This basic empathy you keep circling back to? The very definition of sociopath is that they do not have the ability to empathize.

            It really is much worse than you seem to think.

                Source? Straight out of my ass, technically. In other words I didn’t have anything good to refer you to off the top of my head, but if you start just with the dictionary definition of sociopath you should see what I’m basing my argument from.

    He deserves all the hate he gets.

    And that hilarious line “…I’ve never physically hurt anyone”. Interesting how he has to qualify that by saying he never ‘physically’ hurt anyone. Like he knows if he said he never hurt anyone, he’d get called out right away. What a joke. Yeah, he’s financially ruined people, cost people their jobs, selling defective vehicles, overpromising and underdelivering, stolen from people (see how he took control of Tesla. People say he founded Tesla, but he didn’t. he was an early investor, and used strong-arm tactics to oust it actual founders), but he’s never actually physically put his hands on anyone, so he’s a good person… right.

    “I’ve never physically hurt anyone” - That is very oddly phrased. He is very aware that he is hurting people, but tries to draw the line at “physically” for some reason. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the line he’s drawing for himself that he will soon step over and ignore because he believes he is being treated unfairly and needs to take his gloves off.

      There’s an “I didn’t break their teeth, jaw, nose, orbital, shoulders, elbows, hands, knees and feet. That was “someone’s” hired goons, and it was only because they “fell” down a flight of stairs.” overtly winking “I’m clearly in no way legally responsible.” sort of a vibe to this guy.

      You know when children keep their fingers like half a centimeter away from someone and go “why are you getting annoyed? I’m not touching you!”

    His confusion has got to be completely feigned. I can’t imagine even a billionaire doesn’t understand what firing thousands of people does to their lives.

    Either way there’s no sympathy here. Bitch could’ve solved world hunger if he thought of anyone else for a single moment that wasn’t for a press release.

    Notice how he specifies that he technically never “physically” hurt anyone.

    But damaging his product and brand is “violence.”

    The full quote is even worse.

    My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone.

    So why the hate and violence against me?

    Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls.

    So basically he’s saying - “I never harm anyone…the left only hates me because I’m a deadly threat to them (and that thing I made up to dismiss everything they say)”

    Also, just wanna point out he’s definitely killed/is killing people.

    So you feel morally justified destroying people’s Teslas because you don’t like Musk?

    Musk helped save those stranded astronauts, but yet he’s a monster.

    Musk has a company that’s working on neuralnet chips to help paraplegics. But that doesn’t count ?

    While the social crusaders would rather see us plunged into WW3 so they can tell conservatives “I told you so” rather than see Trump settle the Ukraine/Russia war.

    People vandalizing and destroying Tesla’s on the dealer lot or even people’s privately owned vehicles, because they feel it’s their civic duty to ruin people’s lives, despite those Tesla owners most likely being liberals, but yet they’re the tolerant party. Because Musk made a “siege heil” gesture that has been misperceived. Mostly because he is associated with Trump.

    “Dogequest” site owners doxxing and intimidating Tesla owners to change parties and sell their Teslas to prove their allegiance isn’t fascist like at all. Not to mention condoning the vandalism.

    One idiot managed to set himself on fire with his own Molotov cocktails in an attempt to destroy Tesla charging stations.

    Several others were caught on the onboard cameras keying Teslas and those same people were arrested and charged afterwards.

    That’s alright. Keep thinking that you’re the morally justified crusaders while using “J6” as leverage, just more pathetic displays of extreme human behavior. Possibly on a more depraved level than those you protest.

    The people hurting others are accusing Musk of hurting others. The irony is thick.

      Wow! You really nailed the program language that a typical Trump supporting Musk worshipper would display. The disconnection from reality and the surgically precise asskissery you’ve shown here is on a level that is comparable to the most ardent of minionesque simpletons.

      And in the event that you weren’t parodying a clueless Musk ghoul-

      please don’t procreate.
