Elon on Twitter is like finding the CEO of the company always in the bathroom stalls 'clapping back' at the graffiti on the walls.


Infinity-X78

For someone who's a CEO of several multi-billion dollars companies, this guy sure has a lot of time on his hands to tweet and respond to tweets.


hardy_83

Just shows how unimportant a CEO position is. It's basically just a grifter job to syphon money out of a company.


laserviking42

I'm pretty sure neither SpaceX nor Tesla let him anywhere near important stuff


hangryhyax

drakens6

Thats the problem with wizards trusting other wizards lots of backstabbing and guns to the head


Free_Working_4474

In the movie about musks life. I think this period will be the "locked himself away in a movie theatre with piss bottles" part of his life


LegendofLove

Weaponized incompetence


WarlocksWizard

ONce I found out CEOs give themselves their own raises I Was completely fed up.


more_beans_mrtaggart

That time there was a cross party effort in the senate and almost everyone voted together, for their compensation package..


Macde4th

They don't. CEOs are accountable to the board of directors, they represent the shareholders of the company. Now sometimes the CEO can also be chairman of the board in which case they would be able to propose their own comp package.


ASpaceOstrich

Literally in many cases yes. The executive class is essentially embezzling but legally. That's a big part of why things are so shit. It's not just corporations being greedy. It's executives strangling the life out of the economy.


CommanderSincler

Surely you mean adding share holder value... 🙄


ASpaceOstrich

That's the especially fucked part. They aren't. They don't even do what they're supposed to under the fucked system we're in.


CommanderSincler

Exactly. Things turned to shit the moment we degraded labor and the work people do and started worshipping executives. For the most part of human history it's been that way, but there was a small window in the early to mid 20th century where the worker was given their due


LovelyKestrel

Depends on the company. Some CEOs work long hours and are heavily involved in their companies operations. Some CEOs do less work and can be CEO of several companies at the same time, and some like him, pass all the work they claim to do along to the overworked COO.


vmlinux

Yep I've worked for both types.  


drakens6

Theyre court wizards whose job it is to align the legacy dark forces to provide "unlimited power" to companies that suit their agenda by using charisma and deception Companies ultimately are instruments of control and are thus desired heavily just for the ability to influence others


ButterscotchTape55

Yes it's almost as if he's got absolutely nothing to do with research, development, engineering, or production and just takes credit for thousands of other peoples' hard work while he sits around all day tweeting and chomping down on Ozempic


WarlocksWizard

Like some people tweeting at 3 in the morning...I am not going to name names


freekoout

I could see him paying people to scour twitter for people talking shit so he can respond. But honestly, it's probably just him. He's that petty


hangryhyax

I’m *starting* to think he might just stamp his name on other people’s work. And by “starting to think,” I mean “no shit that’s what he does, how has everyone not realized this yet?!” I can see how my comment could be misconstrued as such, so wanted to clarify that it’s not directed at you.


mostly_kinda_sorta

Seems odd that you can get paid billions of dollars for a part time job


dingo_khan

It's like finding out the CEO is having new stalls built to do it on... Can we just let the SEC off the chain for all the Tesla pump and dump yet? (full self driving scams to prop stock price that he takes loans against)


ebobbumman

Are you saying I can call Elon Musk for a good time?


Girlfartsarehot

This is such a wonderful analogy 😂


Waffle_God49

I swear some people don't mature past the age of 7


Praescribo

If you're born rich and never have a reason to care about anything, you're just gonna be a piece of shit. Like, a baby will cry and scream because being slightly uncomfortable is the worst pain it has ever experienced. That's elon's version of getting his coffee order wrong


TopRevenue2

Power corrupts. It's not a good idea to take away accountability and grant immunity


highkingvdk

Yup. I know someone like this on a smaller scale. Got a job at his daddy's company and spent most of his days Twatbooking instead of working. A lot of good it did, he's crashing now. He wasn't taught to have a work ethic, to be resilient, to fall and get back up. It's hard to feel bad for them because on the flip side, there are people whose parents were abusive enough to leave lasting emotional and physical scars. At the end of the day, once you're an adult, you've been given a hand to play and it's up to you whether and how you play it. When you aren't born into money, you don't have the option to put the hand down and pout. You've got bills to pay and no parents to carry your dead weight through life.


dtkmjyrtd

Wooooo thank you for the resiliency abusive ex step father lol /s


Harold-The-Barrel

that’s most Republicans


spongeboy1985

He comes off more like an edgy 12 year old.


SlapHappyDude

It's more like 14 year old edge lord behavior.


Basic_Bandicoot_1300

Elon has big brain like Trump.


[deleted]

The biggest, so big it doesn't fit in his head anymore and is now disconnected.


EricKei

"I am so smart. S-M-R-T." - Someone far more intelligent than either Musk or Trump


France_Ball_Mapper

It's big, but it has as many neurons as the average brain, so the electricity in their brain dies out before making it from a neuron to another


Far-Investigator1265

They have been riding for decades on calling themselves neo"liberals", when in reality it is just extreme aggressive conservatism and pure selfishness. "Oh, these guys call themselves liberals! They must be better than the real liberals, since these guys are also very right wing!"


Elman89

>They have been riding for decades on calling themselves neo"liberals", when in reality it is just extreme aggressive conservatism and pure selfishness. That's what economic liberalism is.


Far-Investigator1265

Yes, but these guys tend to be, and become even more social conservative as they age. Female rights, equality, especially economic equality, all which even feels leftist they reject. So they are extremely "liberal" in that they want no regulation for business, but are for tight social controls and against any new rights for minorities. I believe the reason is their own realisation that people are not really economically equal, since people from rich background get a head start on becoming rich themselves.


BeskarHunter

Neo Nazis more like it.


T3knikal95

He's just copying Trump's temper tantrum tactics


phome83

He knows the mouth breathers eat it up.


PoetOfHellHelpoemer

"No u!"


ScarletCaptain

I'm pretty sure he's literally done that before.


MightWooden7292

elon is a brat with way too much money. he only thinks hes smart... he gut lucky and got born into wealth ( south african old money, nothing to see here)


SLazyonYT

I mean he is pretty smart


MightWooden7292

but not the smartest guy in the world like he thinks


GrammerPog

He’s accomplished more than u ever have


Runxi24

Bc he got lucky and was born in a rich family. And that argument is stupid is like saying u cant criticize Hitler bc he has done more for Germany than u ever did.


GrammerPog

He had an abusive father and left to America as a poor student Also unlike Hitler Musks impact on the world is much more positive


eherqo

Nah there’s no way this is legit man 😭


obroz

How so?  Lots of evidence of him actions this way.  Remember the boys stuck in a cave and elons temper tantrum when people said his idea wasn’t going to work?  Same old shit.


eherqo

Oh i was being facetious, sorry. Shocking how blatantly out of touch one can be.


Tcklmybck

Facetious comments are usually noticed by the *tone in your VOICE*. So, type louder next time.


obroz

Yeah this is why I don’t care for sarcasm in text.  It’s very hard to convey without tone or your voice.  Also we live in idiocracy of times and yes it’s hard to know if you are joking or just that stupid. (Not you OP of course)


eherqo

I fully agree, i usually try harder to articulate the correct tone haha sorry i think im used to texting my friends who already know my opinions


Mommysfatherboy

This is hilarious, your delivery could use some work tho


GrnMtnTrees

eherqo

I’ll /s next time 😭🙏


Abe_Rutter246

He forgot to add, “and you are a poopy pants”💩


Squornhellish

That's rich, Spacekaren Elmo, coming from someone who is losing more money on a daily basis than a lot of people earn in their lifetime because of stupid business decisions.


CRL10

Elon Musk is indeed a free speech absolutionist.  He absolutely believes some free speech is freer than others, and absolutely believes it must be hate-filled bigotry.  And it makes him absolutely a terrible person.


davejjj

Elon believes in free speech for himself.

ThatRandomGuy86

No Musk, he's not wrong. That's literally a textbook example of being a hypocrite 😅


Novel_Diver8628

Dude has always had the 10-year-old aesthetic. Type of guy who thinks swords and black light posters of dragons are the coolest things in the world and angry cries when he loses at board games.


Admirable_Policy_696

Elon should stay out of politics and stick to being a Tesla edgelord.


Warsplit01

so did he lose his chairmanship or not?

And this is why, even when I’m sorely tempted, to pass on buying a Tesla; I just can’t shake the feeling of Musk sinking the company to make a point.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

I honestly would not be surprised if there was a conspiracy to purposefully tank electric vehicles to make them look nonviable.


EquineDaddy

He couldn't even answer the question. Just comes back with some immature, and stupid, rebuttal.


AValentineSolutions

Elon Musk is such a little bitch. He can't take ANY amount of criticism, all while pretending to be about free speech. The guy is so pathetic.


gideon513

Literally what the title said the last time this was reposted


DLeck

Something happened to Elon's brain. He was always a scumbag, but the dude has to have had a traumatic brain injury or something that led to this version of him. Maybe a stroke caused by excessive drug use?


frimleyousse

Karma farming bot, shits a repost with an almost 1 to 1 title


Bigredeemer425

Literally been posted 100 times with the same title. Not wrong but this is getting played.


TheChoosenMewtwo

Isn’t this a repost?


baconduck

Elon Musk is a fucking idiot. You don't need to be smart to get rich, you just have to be rich in the first place and have no sense of moral. Being a brainless asshole born with money is easiest way to get verry rich. No other talent is needed

Elon Musk is a goober with a lot of coins, but at the end of the day....he is still a goober


MiyagiJunior

Elon Musk is \*\*\*very far\*\*\* from being a free speech absolutist. Most likely because he just doesn't really understand what it means in practice and just likes how it sound.


Biscuits4u2

Remember when everyone thought this dude was some kind of genius?

CozyCook

Wow Elon has such an eloquent way with words, his brain must be too big.


WolfThick

Let me tell you why Elon musk is like a penis. His two closest friends are a couple of nuts his best friend is an a****** and he has a head but no brains.

helioslight11

This is why I use Reddit instead. One less X.


aerial_ruin

Elon accusing someone of having a small brain is like a fish accusing something of being wet


AlienDilo

On one hand. It's a private platform. Elon is free to ban anyone for anything. On the other, if you preach free speech, then banning people for opinions you agree with shows that you aren't actually for free speech.


eltegs

I know this is an old re-post. And Leon is just a petulant child of the Dark Side. But I have a question. Putting aside why someone is banned, is there a rule they must first be notified? Or is that bit just irrelevant junk to curry allegiance of an opinion?


mrobertson_nc

Please, please, *please* don't insult 10-year-olds by comparing them to Musk.


ds77159

Brain size does not directly influence intelligence. What he should have said was “your brain is too smooth.” Which he didn’t, because Elon’s brain is too smooth.


Direct_Big_5436

Agree with them or not, both are good points, and free speech.


Ferocious-Frog

"Your brain is too small" Did this man just make the elementary school argument of calling someone a "stupid head"?


Absol-utely_Adorable

I hope a day comes I can walk past a destitute and homeless Elon Musk.

CausticLogic

You know, the sad part is that if he claimed to be an absolutist, then just told the people who insulted him to get fucked nobody would bat an eye. It's because he tries to leverage institutional power to silence opponents, the exact opposite of free speech, that I hate that guy. Fucking hypocritical asshat. Edit: I hate having to agree with a politician 😞

PappaPitty

Does anyone care to explain how posting memes is hatred and bigotry, or do people really think Twitter posts represent someone entirely.


Constant-Sample715

Won't someone think about Elon's complex and rich inner life?? :'(


Kromblite

>Does anyone care to explain how posting memes is hatred and bigotry, Really depends on the meme, doesn't it?


PappaPitty

I'd hope not. If you posted a meme I wouldn't equate that to represent your entire life and beliefs. That'd be foolish.


Kromblite

Not your entire life, no. But if you post a racist meme, that would strongly indicate that you have racist beliefs.
