Summary
At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.
He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.
Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”
Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.
My father-in-law has been divorced three times. Each of his exes have told him directly that they left because he’s too controlling. To this day, he openly and genuinely states he has no idea why he’s been divorced three times - “I try so hard in marriage. I just don’t get it.”
Some people can’t hear the truth even if you rubber stamp it on their forehead.
Cue: Elon Musk.
Never underestimate a human’s capacity for self-deception. I think it’s our most perfected trait.
People are telling you why Elon.
He knows perfectly well why.
He’s gaslighting so the people who hate him hate him louder, which he can then use as validation that they’re crazy or irrational.
It’s fucking disgusting and obvious as hell. He deserves all of the shit thrown at him and he knows it but doesn’t care because he doesn’t have to face any real consequences for it, so he escalates.
Everyone’s anger is his weapon against them, sadly because his supporters are dumb enough to go with it. He needs tangible consequences or else this will just keep getting worse.
I’m not certain that’s true. Even if he knew it was bullshit at some point. If you surround yourself with bullshit you stop being able to smell it.
You can come to believe a lie you tell yourself long enough and hard enough. He is surrounded by enablers who are also lying to themselves.
It doesn’t matter what he believes. He does need consequences.
I wish the media would stop giving this asshole an audience.
I support freedom of speech, but it does not mean that you are automatically entitled to an audience.
The thing is that he is the defacto ruler of the US right now. So his words are important, regardless of them all being nothing but gaslighting whiney bullshit.
Earn friends by firing tens of thousands of people. It should have been so simple, what could have possibly gone wrong?
I don’t remember that chapter from How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I wonder if that’s actually true, because I think that he is to some extent literally psychotic. What happens when someone who actually has enormous wealth and power still goes through manic phases or experiences something like grandiose delusions? He might really believe that he’s saving the nation and the world, and that this should be obvious to all.
It’s like those movies (I can’t remember which ones but I’m sure I’ve seen some) where the king thinks of himself as good and is genuinely surprised and confused when he learns that the common people feel oppressed by him. Except in this case the king does not (and probably can not) learn a heartwarming moral lesson.
It still surprises me someone with that complete of a lack of self awareness manages to get dressed without injuring themselves.
I kinda assumed it was more of a Prince of New York scenario, really.
i have no reason to believe he puts on his own clothes and doesn’t have an assistant to do that for him
This dude has the whole collection of type B personality disorders
Checks cluster b list
antisocial PD, borderline PD, histrionic PD, narcissistic PD
math checks out
He also ticks the boxes for the dark tetrad.
Honestly histrionic wouldn’t surprise me. He’s got a combination of overinflated sense of self and obsession with what others think. And his childhood sounds like exactly the sort of emotional abuse to give a cluster b disorder and cptsd.
Like a seagull says?

Who shot Hannibal?
Had to check this wasn’t a theonion com
Well, not everyone is a Tesla shareholder that he can abuse constantly.
Far out, I despise this idiot so, so much.
it’s a mystery for sure
Even given the most charitable reading that he was doing a Nazi salute to troll people instead of because he’s an actual Nazi, the whole intention behind trolling is to piss people off.
And I’m not inclined to give this steaming coprolite any charity, because he acts like a fuckin’ Nazi.
(I’m not going to play along with the whole “he said his heart goes out” bullshit. Other Nazis sure knew what he was doing and loved it.)
Unrelated (completely related) : chatgpt refuses to acknowledge musk having anything to do with Nazis, even when presented with facts about his “memes” and his Nazi salutes. And will not write a story about musk and his Nazi associated acts.
It will happily tell you stories about Hitler.
the nazis were trolls. they would have loved 4chan
What do you mean “would have”, they’re there right now.
You don’t even need this to have happened given what he’s done with DOGE and his buying an election. People would have still hated him, just not as many.
He uses all the Nazi secret code shit. Like his fascination with the letter X for example which is modern Nazi code for Heil Hitler. Saying that Hitler did not kill millions of people. He throws it right out there and expects the world to ignore it.
I think there’s also the possibility that he genuinely believes a significant majority agrees with him.
Confirming he’s not as smart as he pretends to be
To stupid to realize how stupid he is
I know you’re engagement-farming, but “too”*.
How dumb can this jerkoff be?
No matter stupid you think he is, I guarantee it’s more than that.
