From community description:
Are you sure this one fits in? Why, of all the communities, choose this one specifically?
Because Elon being made miserable is something that most other people would consider to be uplifting - I know it certainly made me happier to read it
It's the continuation of all the negative news about Musk and Tesla and MAGA. While it is uplifting to some that they have setbacks, I believe this doesn't help people distract from this shitshow, which I reckon the community is all about.
Besides, people made miserable is not in the spirit of the place, either.
Is it? Or is it just bullshit because Spacex, Palantir and Meta have over 7 Trillion Dollars in government contracts. Tesla is just the sacrificial lamb
I agree with you man. This isn't uplifting news.
It may feel right and just that the guy is getting push back, but we think more about his other actions and it drags us down, rather than lifting us up.
It'll get tons of upvotes in all kinds of other subs because most of us want the guy to get hit by karma hard, but it's not about us feeling good.
It’s comforting to me as a reminder that money is entirely made up, and that my poverty is not a marker of my value. Elon Musk has had every opportunity available to him - the fact that he can’t run a company, has zero fucking knowledge of physics despite pretending to be a super genius despite the fact that he’s never had to chose between skipping a class and taking a shift for rent money - it’s comforting that wealth has zero correlation with capability.
How is it not uplifting to see a fascist who is a billionaire suffer?
Because not all of us are sadists. The guy deserves what's coming to him, but it's more than just him.
Aside from the nazi there are tons and tons and TONS of workers who are impacted by the nazi's choices. They all stand to lose their jobs, bonuses etc out of all of this. If the nazi didn't exist, there would be no negative connotation with the business. After all, they just make EVs and deal with power generation and storage for the most part, as a business.
Then there's all the people who have retirement funds which have invested in the business simply because it's been growing traditionally. I have index funds, so I am personally affected by the valuation loss. I don't think i'll avoid buying more QQQM or VOO either, it's just traditionally beating most fund managers by a large margin with minimal expense.
I'd love to see the guy lose his compensation package and lose his CEO status and board rights, but I doubt any of that will happen. I'd love for him to be prosecuted by all the illegal shit he's personally directed in these past months, but I doubt it will happen.
Ultimately thinking of all this shit is still net negative and not uplifting for me. Give me some news about how the guy is being forced out and that the workers are being taken care of or something and i'll be all for it.
