Summary

Elon Musk called for arrests after posting a video on X showing a confrontation between women and a Tesla Cybertruck driver.

In the video, a woman pointed at the vehicle, prompting the driver to yell threats while the crowd chanted “Shame!”

Another woman called the driver a Nazi.

Musk claimed the incident was part of broader attacks and urged authorities to arrest those funding such actions, saying targeting only “puppets and paid foot-soldiers” would not stop the violence.

Never forget that Elon Musk has built his fortune on many many violations of the law, including SEC violations and breaking employment laws. This ghoul firmly believes that his is of a privileged class that is permitted to do this while you are not. He is a cancer in our society and deserves nothing but ridicule and punishment for the harm he feels entitled to inflict on the rest of us.

He doesn’t even have to believe it, it’s been proven time and time again that he is part of a privileged class.

The treatment for cancer is not “ridicule,” you know. Just sayin’.

This is incorrect.

A ghoul behaves independently unto itself and for its own needs and survival. (Think The Walking Dead, The Last of Us). They can be clever, and are typically depicted as adaptive.

I think the word you’re looking for is “zombie.” (Think necromancy, magically risen dead) They are essentially mindless controlled entities. Constructs. They cannot behave independently unto themselves or for their own needs.

Elon is owned. Just like the rest of them. Everything he does is for the benefit of whatever entity that happens to control the static between his ears.

It’s social Darwinism and tyrannical oligarchy repackaged as some new tech bro philosophy

Musk has a point, though. The Cybertruck is extremely fragile, so pointing at it with your finger poses a significant risk and could even set it on fire.

It DOES have a higher fire fatality statistic than the Ford Pinto so…

However bad you think that is, it’s almost definitely worse.

TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto, a car endlessly memed on by an entire generation for its flammability.

You should go read that article, because it’s short, but just look at this chart I pulled from it.

You guys are so quick to judge Elon. It’s not fair.

He’s not a Nazi. He just likes Nazis.

Get a grip guys he’s not a Nazi. He just really likes everything they stood for.

Quit calling him a Nazi. He’s just a guy who really really likes Nazis and hitler and being a piece of shit.

He’s not a Nazi guys. He just likes Nazis. A lot.

He likes them as much as any Nazi would.

Can’t a guy just like Nazis and act like a Nazi and do Nazi things without being labeled a Nazi?

It’s unfair. Maybe you have too small a brain to understand the distinction.

Elon musk is not a Nazi.

He just really really wants to be one.

Are you saying he’s actually not a member of the Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei?
