This is what we did before unions, Elon. I mean, he's not smart, just rich.

[–] [email protected] 177 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Before unions were a thing, if a workforce wanted a raise, it was traditional to say “hey boss, give us a raise, or we’ll burn your fucking factory down”

[–] [email protected] 100 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And now that they've made unions all but illegal, we'll eventually return to that trusted tradition.

Either we settle things collectively and politely, or we settle things not so politely.

This was the whole purpose of our founding fathers.

Kings were getting beheaded. They knew enough that if they didn't want to watch their backs constantly, they needed to spread power thin.

It's the point of good faith in government. It goes back to the Code of Hammurabi. We have these laws so that we can all mostly agree on how things should be handled in a reasonable way.

When people can't rely on laws and justice, eventually blood spills.

These people have been so intent on gathering money and power, they haven't realized why the founding fathers did the exact opposite.

Molotov cocktails remain a cheap and effective workforce bargaining tool. 2nd amendment silenced handguns just got added to that tool belt.

True Americans know this.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Eh I think it does us a disservice to call the rich idiots. Sure some are, but strips agency from them for the real damage they do.

Elon is at least smart enough to turn his emerald slave money into billions.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's not a sign of intelligence, it's just that he had so much money, he could afford to fail a bunch of times, so he could get lucky every once in a while

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

And this pattern holds across a shitload of rich people too. Singers who could afford to not have to have that waitress job and just focus on promotion. 'Entrepreneurs' who got 'small' 'loans' to start their 10th business that finally hit. Real estate moguls who had actual intelegnt people bring them plans they rubber stamped and claimed to be brilliant businessmen.

They are rich so they must be smart is the biggest pile of bullshit.

If this starts a spat of CEO killings, most people will just continue sipping their tea.

[–] [email protected] 98 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I dunno.

I might go grab a bottle of champagne or something. Maybe indulge in a nice bit of cheese to go with it.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Champagne and cheese company CEOs conflicted.

Republicans are going to start being in favor of gun control laws if the gun violence pendulum starts swinging in that direction. Not sure if that would be a win or not.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would say they have a reckoning ahead of them either way because I don't think that the 2nd amendment is actually all that compatible with fascism.

I'm certainly not going to throw mine in the harbor over it.

Not like it affects your average person. Probably improves things a little bit if anything.

What about if the CEO just spent a quarter billion dollars to support a fascist insurgency?

He's right. It's heroic. 👑

is this the same elon musk that’s been rapidly expanding his security detail? he seems awfully scared to me

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

No CEO with a clean conscience needs to worry given the circumstances of the murder but I bet I could count those in one hand.

Water the tree of liberty with the blood of the tyrant

[–] [email protected] 63 points 4 months ago

hmm... Notice that Musk didn't say it's wrong to kill a person. Only CEOs.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He only thinks something is based when poor people die.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I started writing a song about a year ago that started, "have you ever noticed how no one has assassinated Elon Musk?" I need to get off my arse (and write the song, I mean).

It’s not in YOUR social circle.

This psycho killer has already done more for health care than Biden.

They will no longer limit anestesia during surgeries.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

maybe not. but it is based to kill a person that used to be a merely CEO but now, due to a lack of empathy and grounding to the real world, has become a cincere threat to humanity. EDIT: JUST TO BE CLEAR: i mean elon

There's like 1 billion firearms in the usa, how may CEOs?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nobody said You need to stop at US CEOs.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

getting firearms across international lines is a little trickier than shooting dumbfuck CEO's, though. Not advocating anything; just commenting on availability and transportation of firearms.

And personally, I'd rather see billionaires sit in prison and watched their assets get nationalized than to see them die, but given the stranglehold money has on justice systems around the world, one of those is a less likely solution than the other...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

personally, I’d rather see

You can take it a step further, I wish they haven't fucked us to the point where the violence is getting cheered on. They're caging and starving a leopard, it will eat their faces eventually.

Wished the tweet was real, that would be one for the history books.

Killing people is never right, but some of these rich bastards have dome so much to make themselves a target that I don't feel bad for them anymore.

Did he actually post that comment? Can I get a link to his tweet?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

As a rule of thumb, any tweet you see posted to a shitposting community is gonna be fake

Take it from Elon. He knows "based".

Based is having twelve kids and spending Thanksgiving tonguing Trump’s taint at Mar A Lago

Greetings and salutations fellow children, I have come to impart a message from myself, your peer.

(Except that has too many syllables for the real Elon)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Don't forget, the CEO is always the fall guy for the owners

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

CEOs are almost always part owners. A large part of their massive "compensation" for all the amazing value they add to the company is usually given in the form of stocks.
