    For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

        I’ve known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They’re often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don’t need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.

        Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump’s taint instead.

          Idk, I like re-defining that word to be used on people like him. Just call people with actual disabilities “handicapped” or “disabled”

        No.

        This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

        Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

      Like most things, normal people have no real say in the matter. The large shareholders publicly saying things and selling off stock would lower their value and hurt them. Last year the CA teacher pension fund did say they met with Tesla to voice concerns. So it does happen.

      It’s been known for years the stock was way overvalued. But making money overruled any sort of sound advice. Not that they are losing money, more people will say things.

      I keep screaming this to my friends and family.

      WHERE ARE THE DERIVATIVE LAWSUITS!?

      To be fair, there is a derivative law suit still working and it’s around the excessive bonus they granted musk and then retracted and then re-granted atter reincorporating TESLA in Texas. I’m pretty sure I have this right

      I have read that many who would be able to bring suit are in Musk’s pocket. Like his brother, for example.

      I really would love to see some derivative suits going though.

          The destruction of the island of Selini was one of the greatest things Londo ever did as Emperor. I get the feeling, it’s also one of the only times he felt remorse at anything he had done, since he had to ask many Centauri to knowingly die to keep the illusion up. I’d like to believe that he gave Vir what Vir told Mr. Morden that he wanted from Mr. Morden as a form of penance.

          What Vir wants from Mr. Morden.

        but will they, but they adjust income based on the area. and people are much more reluctant to move to a red state/ or the place with low probability of jobs outside of the ones being listed. moving is also kinda expensive too.

      I’d say worse. In the least, people carrying out orders might be doing so out of fear for their own life. It doesn’t excuse it, but on the scale I’d say that’s much better than putting people in a position to kill or be killed.

          Yeah, and people don’t get more serious about shoving racists and neo nazis face in it. Hitler was a meth head with a deformed penis who blew his brains out cowaring in fear as Mel Brooks drove a tank into Berlin. Dude was shit, and no he didn’t ‘‘at least do good things for Germany’’ he ensured their destruction by being a military tactical dumbass starting all these wars all at once, then using all kinds of resources rounding up Jews, building factories to exterminate people, lowering their population as they ran out of soldiers. Do you know how fucking stupid you have to be to do things this way? No one was ever like ‘‘hay maybe if we just stop rounding up Jews with a huge amount of guys and building extermination camps we could have a few more soldiers and bombs to fight with’’ no. They just pretended it made sense and kept following his orders even when they new it was bullshit, AND they let him intentionally send units to their deaths for ‘‘not fighting hard enough’’ to win using his dumb fucking tactics. This guy was fucking stupid, the whole idealogy of following ONE dude no matter what is the most idiotic system of government possible.
