Dude was born and raised in South Africa pretending to be an American (much like Ted Cruz who was born in Canada) interfering in US elections. It’s fucked.

Our whole schtick is (supposed) to be that anyone who wants to come here and make a life here is an American.

There's plenty of things to be pissed at Musk for, especially in relation to how his family made their money in Apatheid South Africa (emerald slave mines), but him being born elsewhere isn't it.

That shtick is just a shtick. Every country with a functioning government has standards for who they'll allow to immigrate and become a citizen, and Musk is precisely the kind of person I'd want to keep out. He's making a life here as a billionaire, not an American, because billionaires have no real nationality, just flags of convenience. I don't want him on my planet, much less in my country, and I especially don't want his greasy money in our politics.

That's cool and all, and I generally agree, but the sheer fact that he's a foreigner isn't something to go after

Yeah, this isn't europe.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 months ago

Well if we're lucky, he'll move to Mars.

Lol. These fuckers are all ladder pullers. Check out the tenets of project 2025. They want to kick immigrants OUT. Musk is donating $45 million per month toward kicking immigrants out. He got his though, so…

Yeah but the dude is also pro slavery. If you're a foreign billionaire coming here to make money and promote slavery then I'm not sure I'm prepared to call you an American. No matter how historically accurate it may be.

Eh, now you're getting xenophobic.

There's a ton of reasons to criticize musk on without resorting to such stupid argument "he's not a real 'murican"

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

To be fair, you can't be President if you're a naturalized citizen so the xenophobia thing is kind of built-in.

In this case, thank fuck because we'd have Musk running for President, guaranteed.

To be double fair that was written in there pretty explicitly as a preventative measure from the English getting a loyalist elected and reclaiming us.

I love Elon Cuck cosplaying as a “Texan cowboy” but too stupid to realize his hat was on backwards 😂😭🤡

What a dipshit.

Wait until you hear about this guy named Rupert Murdoch.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Or as we call him in his original country, 'Cunt'!

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

That Aussie cunt and fat boy Elon were sucking eachother off this year in the same suite at the Superbowl whilst plotting America’s demise.

Well Putin did it, was found out, and - nothing happened so. Why not.
