Elon Musk celebrated "parasitic" American job losses now is confused about Americans celebrating HIS downfall

https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/03/elon-musk-who-laughed-about-putting-people-out-of-work-cries-democrats-are-being-mean-to-me.html?

“I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price that had gone in half and he was overjoyed,“ Musk complained. ”What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?”
Actually, countless of Americans are deriving joy from that:

and other drugs rotting his brain. Privatize his ass back to South Africa. And it's getting old hearing that slur about the "radical left". Project much Elon. Just listened to the Fridays Randi Rhodes podcast. On the Liberal You Tubers forum.

They don't think they ever do anything wrong.
They think other people are jealous of them, their brilliance, beauty, etc.

Other people have no feelings or concerns, Musk simple does not understand any of it.

And they refuse to take feedback or assume any responsibility.
If they could do this they might have a chance to be normal people.

Because I swore to support and defend the Constitution. That’s what radical leftists do.

Conservatives Lie and shit on the Constitution because they are not smart enough or wise enough to understand the difference.

Liz Cheney, Rick Wilson, David Frum, Olivia Troye, Sarah Longwell, Adam Kinzinger, Charlie Sykes, and quite a few others would beg to differ.

I wish all radical leftists followed your example. Some are little better than the MAGAs in their failure to love, support, and defend the Constitution. But I don't think it's as many, because we don't have people actively radicalizing our side and fanning the flames of hate.

Our numbers of Americans who are protesting, town halls, making calls to their GQP Reps and Senators are scaring them. Spineless GQP.

is watching Tesla stock prices fall.

The chasm in his comprehension of the situation is hard to fathom.
And he wants to run the world.

there are tons of better options now from companies who actually know how to make cars and trucks. His own psychotic ego has caused his company's downfall. He needs his buddy Trump to shill for his cars on the White House lawn and give him government contracts for his other companies. Bloodsucking parasite.

It could happen. Once he’s lost so much, trump will dump him. He won’t be able to buy any more elections. Now let’s beggar the rest of the billionaires.

He and his parents moved to the US when he was a year old. Years ago, he co-founded PayPal and is now "worth" $16.2 billion. He is the 129th richest person in the world, which goes to show what an outrage it is there are that many people with too much money.

Thiel is a full-blown fascist who is opposed to the very idea of democracy.

He has citizenship in the US and New Zealand.

Looking at photos of him, there is literally no soul there behind the eyes. They are dead eyes.
