Elon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
(www.independent.co.uk)
At this point I have finally realised that Elon Musk is an attention-seeking cunt and we should probably start to just ignore him, at least for a while.
However, I've got some ideas! Instead of people without children, how about we restrict the vote to the children themselves? How does that sound, Elon? Nobody over 20 should get a vote because they only have... pthh, I dunno, a few decades, 90 years at most left on this planet, so fuck them. Am I right? Maybe we could give everyone a voting point for every year they have left assuming an average lifespan of 75 years - perhaps women could have more points as they generally live longer. That would be fair, no? We should also completely take money out of politics and stop billionaires and large corporations from undermining democracy too! Don't you think that's a great idea?
Plus, I know some SHITTY parents who don’t consider their kids much at all. Why don’t we limit the vote to good parents who can prove they love their children by sacrificing themselves for their kids in a simulated environment? I mean, this is the future! VR voting compassion-for-your-children tests. Elon loooves futurestuff
I don't want people to ignore him. I want him in the news every day, pissing people off and agitating the masses.
Every time Musk opens his mouth the screams "eat the rich!" get louder. Why on Earth would I want that to stop?

A guy with three passports for three different countries should take his wildly out-of-touch idiocy and fuck off.
When will Elon eventually or slowly fade out of popular media and when he's alienated everyone around him he can go away and live as a recluse. He can be the next Howard Hughes, living in a dark casino hotel room wearing Kleenex boxes on his feet.

crazy that this guy used to be the billionaire that wanted to use solar power and electric cars to make an impact against climate change, now he's half Murdoch, half Hitler
So that means no taxes I guess?
what in the starship-troopers-ass fuck is this troll shit
I would have a kid just to vote then ditch the poor bastard at twitter HQ.
~~obviously sh*tty propaganda~~ what a ridiculous foolishness is he?
They took our ability to have children through monetary strain, caused by corporate greed, now they think we should lose voting rights lol...
