Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.
Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
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.
There's a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.
You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.
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 like I killed anybody. I mean, I gave the orders but they didn't say no."
I've never physically hurt anyone.
This is called a suspiciously specific denial.
Like saying "I was never convicted for shooting anyone in the head with a 9mm."
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.
I'm so glad that I was taught how to diagram sentences in middle school because when I see something like this I immediately strip it down to it's most basic structure. "I am a threat to humans."
I like how Bill Burr calls him: "the Twitter guy" I bet that hurts his ego more than fElon etc
To hurt The Nazi and Dorsey with one nickname, that's why Burr is one of the greatest.
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.
"I've never physically hurt anyone" says the man setting back cancer research in the US by decades and purposely starving poor people abroad (and at home).
But not unlike Hitler, he never actually physically pulled a trigger, or set an electric car on fire, or stole food from a hungry person, so really the hate against him is totally irrational and comes outta nowhere. s
He has hurt plenty of people though.
People have DIED because his cars are shit & he lied about what they can actually do.
Ah yes, because he didn’t personally assault people he should be hands-off, event though he’s personally commanded people’s live’s to be fucked with.
It’s like the UHC CEO that was executed, none of them want to take responsibility for their actions or actually consider the ramifications of them. Like pulling the trigger on the gun but taking no responsibility for what damage the bullet does.
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.
Musk you absolutely have blood on your hands. There was a bipartisan bill to cap medicine prices and your tweets stopped and killed it. You know medicine that people rely on to live like insulin and asthma inhalers.
Some of those people are looking at a life of medical debt induced misery for themselves and family OR a more permanent and tragic solution.
You won't be able to scrub hard enough to wipe those claret marks off.
Why? Actions have consequences. If your good deeds outweigh the bad ones you're okay. If bad deeds outweigh the good ones, people know you as elon musk.
Notice how he specifies that he technically never "physically" hurt anyone.
But damaging his product and brand is "violence."
ooh, ooh! I can answer that!
Because you're a nazi piece of shit and have accomplished nothing more than being born rich and taking credit for other people's work.
Also you're wrong about the products, your companies make absolute shit especially when they listen to you.
Also you're a sexual harasser obsessed with impregnating women because you can't make up for the fact that you're an unfuckable troglodyte.
Oh and you were buddies with epstein and ghislaine.
The harm Musk has done to people far exceeds that of if he were in nonstop physical altercations 24/7.
Musk has killed people. Musk has starved children and animals.
Musk has brain damage and doesnt understand basic human emotions. Is he even human?
Thanks for asking bro, here are a few tips:
- try to avoid the Hitlergruß next time you're on stage
- don't randomly fire people who do a good job just because you don't understand what they do
- don't piggyback on neurodiversity as an excuse for asshole behavior
- try to sincerely say sorry to someone at least once in your life. It feels good and makes you more human!
- go to therapy if you need it, there is no shame in it
Also, at the end of the day, all forms of hurting someone are also physical.
"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.
I drew the line at union-busting CEO who falsely accused someone of being a pedophile
"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.
You physically starved babies to death and caused immense suffering by shutting down USAID. And that's just one of the many ways you've literally killed people and ruined people's lives, yet you're not only not stopping these things, you're ramping them up and pretending you're not doing anything wrong.
At this moment you are literally the most dangerous, most horrible, most evil, most despicable and most loathsome person on earth.
I can only assume he's banning the accounts of everyone who answers this question
Hitler also didn't physically hurt anyone in World War 2. He even had a car company that apparently made great products.
"physically" is quite an admission
there is no violence against him remember, just the hate. dude is overreacting like a little bitch.
It couldn't be because you're the doughy soft handed son of a rich apartheid loving father that never invented anything but takes credit for everything.
Clear answer asshole. Because your a nazi, because your destroying the government and putting people on the street that are civil servants. Not just that but I can’t visit Yosemite because of you. Not just that parks are running in skeleton crew. Way to show our tourist what a shit country we are becoming. There’s plenty of dislike there buddy. Spazz out and take a hit.
(..) and violence against me?
"I've never physically hurt anyone" is a weird thing to say, in any context.
I wish nothing but the worst on him and his ilk. Eat the rich. Luigi this man asap.
deep sigh of relief it's like stretching my legs after being on a crowded flight that is Reddit.
