During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025.

      Remember that it’s always projection with these fucks.

      HE is paying people to steal the election for him & paying people to play games for him so he can claim he is the best

      so he assumes others must be doing the same…NO.

        I wonder if any of those people on that call had the guts to point this out to him. These people are never called up on their bullshit and that’s how they get ahead.

      He doesn’t get that most of us aren’t bigoted pieces of shit and we hate him for his actions. He probably doesn’t know what righteous anger is. So our protests have got to be paid for. More projection from a right winger.

    During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025. “They’re obviously not going to admit that the reason that they’re protesting is because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse, they’re gonna come up with some other reason, but that is the real reason for the protests,” said the billionaire.

    Y’all were gettin’ paid to protest? That girl who got caught setting fire to Teslas, she was paid too? All the people protesting… paid? Uh huh That’s my first nope 🙂‍↔️

    My second nope: you literally have been paying people to vote in your favor.

    He’s so full of it 🤣 He’s regurgitating his own excrement and totally dim to the absurdity or irony of what he’s defecating.

      Richest man on Earth whines about other people being able to afford to buy protestors?

      Funny that’s how he thinks immediately, that movements can be bought and sold… almost makes you wonder huh…

      For future reference, it’s ducats.

      Ducat was a “trade coin”(not usually a legal/single state currency) that started in the late 1200s Italy, and was still used by Austra in the early 1900s.

      Exactly, I’m ethusiastically trashing him on a daily basis for free, I’d LOVE to get paid for it. I’d be so good at it, I’d probably get promoted.

    Describing the left as “very organized” is the funniest thing I’ve read all year.

    That should have investors chomping at the bit to have him replaced.

    I need to figure out who’s giving out all this free money because I’d really like for some to come my way.

    So… given the “Every accusation is a confession” rule, what protests do you think he’s funded?

    So, like the usual double-speak rhetoric from this party, just gotta invert what he says:

    Elmo Muskrat pays for protestors, and is sad that his paid protestors aren’t as effective as real ones.

    His narcissism won’t let him admit that no one likes him. He’s a Prince, his mother told him so.

        This.

        I usually don’t watch YouTube celebrities, but recently I watch the Vaush guy state what I’ve known for a while in my 53 years on the planet:

        Some people truly can’t understand why anyone would do anything without some kind of compensation. They think it’s stupid, and anyone who does anything without expecting something in return is stupid, and deserves to be taken advantage of. And they don’t feel bad about it. It’s the “Natural Order.” Winners win, and losers lose. Any instance of “Altruism” is just “Virtue Signaling,” done for attention and to influence others to their advantage.

        Everything is transactional, and everyone who is not useful is expendable. To them, “empathy” truly is weakness.

          I’m some 5ish years younger. You’re not wrong. Typically if I watch anything political at all it’s majority report with Sam Cedar. Rarely any of the highly politics involved younger millennials etc. I’ve seen Hasan, and while I think some of his stances are good. He has some major issues, and is way too obsessed with courting a specific demographic however. Leaving him a very unreliable narrator.

          Vaush, what I know of him, has said some extremely stupid shit in the past. From what I’ve seen however, he just kind of doesn’t give a fuck what others think about him. And he doesn’t suck up to groups like Hasan seems to. When he’s discussing a concept he tends to be pretty direct and academic about it. Not afraid to call out any groups deserving. Even though I don’t always agree with him, typically I can respect the differences. Where I can’t with others.
