The mistake is thinking Elon is a moron screwing everything up on accident. He isn’t. He’s an Afrikaner white supremacist Nazi who is causing all this damage on purpose.

Starlink and SpaceX should be nationalized before he gets a chance to weaponize those companies against the western world as well.

He literally came up with the hyperloop because he was afraid of a high speed rail hurting Tesla sales.

People who buy Teslas don't want to take public transportation

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

People also like to get places fast. High speed rail does that. Why drive 3-6 hours myself when I can relax and read a book and something for a fraction of that on a train and dodge the headache that is air travel?

Ye, Fuck that Guy! ( fuck Eelon Mux)

I have a feeling the boards will try to maneuver him out before he gets too stupid with Starlink and/or SpaceX, but maybe not...

Musk is great for bringing in that sweet venture capital, and and Starlink (and thus SpaceX) are running a pretty major defecit. They need venture capital to operate, so they won't work him out publically. Internally, I'm pretty sure they're happy he's busy destroying Twitter.

Since when is he an Afrikaner? I doubt he can even speak a full sentence of Afrikaans. It's slightly offensive that you just used an entire demographic group as an insult.

The Musks are of Anglo-Canadian, English, Swiss, and Afrikaner descent His family owned a sapphire mine in South Africa during apartheid. That's where his money came from.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That’s where his money came from.

And PayPal I suspect

[–] appelkooskonfyt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Then you might as well call him Swiss. He was even in an English school. And I thought the mine was in Zambia.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

Since he was born in South Africa and got his education there.

They speak more Afrikaans in South Africa than English.

Chill bro , they're not dissing Africans, they're dissing Eelon Mux Yo!

[–] EliasChao@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I do believe he’s a moron screwing Twitter up by ~~accident~~ incompetence.
