I can get paid to tel Elmo henvan gonfuxk himself?
Why did nobody tell me?
Just hire counterprotestors? You have the scratch. Show us how logistically plausible it is to hire an enormous group of people to congregate and chant your ideas.
So... given the "Every accusation is a confession" rule, what protests do you think he's funded?
Nobody has to pay me to hate you, you fucking fascist loser. I do it pro bono.
Nah fam, we hate you so much we do it for free. We just want to watch you burn.
His narcissism won't let him admit that no one likes him. He's a Prince, his mother told him so.
I think he also genuinely can't comprehend anyone doing anything that isn't for personal gain.
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.
Reminds me of this clip.
"The kindest person in the room, is often the smartest."
Only 2 minutes, watch it.
That was excellent. Thank you very much.
His mother also deprived us of the best MMA match of the century (Elon vs Zuck)
which mother, the step sister one?
Are these day gigs or are these kind of jobs something i need a resume for?
You guys are getting paid?
I'm getting paid. Not with money, but pure schadenfreude.
His suffering brings me joy
When describing his Trump rally salute, you can use the word "nazi. It was a "nazi salute".
Seeing him suffer is payment enough
I can get paid to do this? Where do I sign up?
Same, getting paid to do something I love is a dream. It would also be very funny if I got paid enough money as an anti-tesla protester to afford HRT with enough money left over to donate to worker liberation organizations :3
Not everything can be bought buddy.
The reason he thinks they're paid is because that's how he gets people to do things. He doesn't understand any other type of motivation because his whole world revolves around money in exchange for services.
Yes Mr. Musk sir, your chips from 7-11 sir, on sale for only $10,000 sir. Yes sir, I’ll keep the change sir.
This is how much sympathy I have for you Felon Muskrat
Still too large of a violin.
“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.
Musk and DOGE have slashed the agency that manages Social Security, as he’s falsely criticized America’s core safety-net program as a “Ponzi scheme.”
They probably receive or expect to receive funds or services from Social Security or some other government program. The filthy swine.
Somehow, I don't think that this is going to do a great deal to heal any brand damage with progressives.
Frankly, I think that Mr. Musk would be considerably better off if he would simply stop tweeting or publicly-saying things before running them past a PR team.
because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse
Every accusation is a confession https://fortune.com/2025/03/26/elon-musk-tesla-under-investigation-canada-wrongfully-boosting-sales/
We need to be paid to afford the tariff/national sale tax.
So Elon is just mad that he can't afford to hire protesters?
The only money involved for the protesters was what they are going to lose because of this f-ed up governments policies.
No need to pay anyone who does protest out of sheer pain.
Now we get to live rent free in this Nazi’s head.
Not my first choice for accommodations but can't beat the rate.
If there's nothing wrong with paying out millions of dollars for votes, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with paying for protests, either. Have your cake, and shut the fuck up while we force feed it to you, too.
Who the fuck is paying them? hes the in with the crowd who hoarded all the money
Maybe Elon is jealous that these "workers" were able to go home and sleep in their own beds at night. Unlike Elon, who apparently sucks so much at his job that he has to sleep in the office on the floor.
