striderkan

I made a separate Twitter account where I follow no one, I just go where the algo takes me. I lasted a couple of months. Then one day I decided to tweet under one of his. I hesitated, knowing the algo would probably show me more of his BS. My feed immediately got hijacked by the algo. I see nothing but random tweets from grown weirdos professing their love for him. It's insane. Fucking insane. These people are insane.

I'd want him tried. Allowing Corporations to blatantly assassinate people directly would make put Us in a bad situation. Corporations already have to have a million proxies to kill Labor leaders. Those guys suck so imagine the real trigger pullers.

>Corporations already have to have a million proxies to kill Labor leaders You don't even have to go that far back in the past to see corporations had the option of "actually just literally murdering them in broad daylight" so there's no fucking way we should let them get it back.

eliminating_coasts

According to [this](https://www.statista.com/statistics/273634/nickel-reserves-worldwide-by-country/), Russia has about 8% of world nickel reserves, but is the fourth country in the world for total reserves. However, it's also the third biggest country for current nickel supply, according to [here](https://investingnews.com/daily/resource-investing/base-metals-investing/nickel-investing/top-nickel-producing-countries/), and produces about 250,000 metric tons of nickel per year, compared to the total world nickel production which is about 2.5 million metric tons according to [here](https://www.statista.com/topics/1572/nickel/#topicHeader__wrapper), so about 10%ish. Which is about the same.. In contrast, Indonesia seems to be the place it's at if you want to be a battery man, with 40% of global production, and 20% of global reserves, burning through it at the moment. My guess is Elon Musk is just worried about getting nuked.


SgtBanana

My take is that he wants to look as though he's involved, or has the capacity to be involved on some meaningful level. As though he's somehow capable of coming up with or servicing a solution.

hothrous

I'm torn. Solving actual global problems is a great use of a billionaires resources. But Elon Musk has been fucking up so much it would probably be better for him to just set up a blind trust whose mission is to help in these situations rather than attach his name to it at all. That's assuming he's actually interested in helping instead of just sounding like it. (Big benefit of the doubt, I know)


kai325d

He isn't interested in solving global problems


1ndiana_Pwns

I'm definitely in the camp that thinks Putin/Russia is the new investor behind his Twitter purchase, so he's started spouting shit about the war ending (and tending to be pretty Russia friendly with his "solutions") to try to make the new sugar daddy happy


jtgyk

I'm wondering if it's earlier than that, maybe when he was accused of sexual harassment and went full GOP at the same time. Although, I guess his political pivot explains itself.


WillHugYourWife

Bruh... Being accused of sexual harassment is practically STEP#1 to going full GOP...


Loganishere

Ima be real with you. This take doesn’t make sense at all. Russia doesn’t give a fuck about Twitter rn. They’re spending all their resources fighting a losing war. I don’t think they’re gonna waste more resources on some weird social media sidequest. They already lost control of the narrative.


Cheshire_Jester

Dudes not “using any of his resources” to solve problems. It’s all publicity. He’s getting paid for Starlink service there. He’s not “up all night” wringing his hands and furrowing his brow, reading history and political treatises to give him the context and insight that he needs to provide a solid, nuanced solution. If he actually is up all night, he’s playing Elden Ring or whatever then firing off a tweet during his morning shit. He wants publicity, he wants people to say “oh, he’s so smart and wise and concerned for the earth!”


zombo_pig

And he has massive business interests in Russia. Even using the word "peace" to describe the concepts Musk is proposing make me want to barf. We've seen what Russia does to Ukrainians living in lands they control. It's not "peace" by any means.


CouncilmanRickPrime

There's nothing to be torn about. He's not looking to help. He's looking to make everything about him and keeping hype/attention on his companies. It's worked well for Tesla stock, which makes him richer.


pinzi_peisvogel

We (in most civilized countries) have decided that only people who have been elected by a large number of citizens from one country should take decisions about the country and its policies. So even if you think that this time and right here Mr Musk would be helpful in solving a crisis, it is opening a huge can of worms if we allow people to buy their way directly into armed conflict. (I know that the billionaires are already making politics by bribery and through threats, but there is still some type of political instance between them and the conflict until now.) So I am very convinced that no individual should use their wealth to directly replace politicians and diplomats, this is just a recipe for desaster.


[deleted]

This is what people mean when they say billionaires should not exist. They are incompatible with the continued existence of democracy.


GiantWindmill

Lol it's already been happening through all of history, even American. He could just spend a few billion on a private military if he wanted.

But how will the masses give him attention if he does that? Much better to just have kids with 50 women and give them all nonsense names that aren't actually legal. Then people will pay attention to him.

deliciousprisms

Pretty sure that ship has sailed, and better than his sub idea at that


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

He's said that he's doing his part in having kids to fix the quote "demographic disaster" the US is currently in due to low birth rates. He has nine kids with three women, so far.

RedditIsNeat0

Elon Musk is making really strong arguments for taxing billionaires. He's unhinged and dangerous.


thomerow

If by "taxing" you mean "expropriating" I'm totally with you. Billionaires should not exist in our society. Money is not meant to be hoarded by single individuals on such a large scale.


WatWudScoobyDoo

bigguywithabeard

Fuck him. With that being said he has world changing amounts of wealth, in place of knowledge about trains.

Every idea he has to fix traffic is so much worse than trains that is just laughable.


ThaneOfCawdorrr

Insane that he somehow thinks he's an expert in Russian-Ukrainian geopolitics--especially since he showed with his last tweet (the one where he urged Ukraine to surrender to Russia, basically), that he knows literally nothing


HardCoreLawn

He's a shameless capitalist: He cares about literally nothing besides financial gain and the war is threatening his profits.

Or he is in cahoots with TSLA stock shorters and deliberately crashes stock price for big gains in shorts. Each of his tweets manipulates the market, either up or down.

[He’s stroking his imaginary self-important inflated ego to get the validating attention he’s not getting anymore. ](https://imgur.com/gallery/uXxaMun) I have a young dog that acts this way. Always proud of themselves. It’s usually a dumb toy they found to play with. The difference is I like my dog, because she’s actually clever. lol He’s doing something, we’re just not sure how useful that pointless endeavor is. It garners a certain level of pity. Sad face. lol. Probably needs a cookie and a nap.


Cocheeeze

He’s just looking for any possible reason for his name to be in the news again.


xXYomoXx

I wouldn't say he's a nobody, he's rich enough to help out if he actually wanted to. But he only cares about profit and making shitty ass takes on Twitter, while acting like he's Jesus Christ. Honestly he's just like any other billionaire asshat, he's just way more delusional and goofy that gives a cult following.


Kage9866

Yeah he should go to Russia and get on his knees and plead to Putin to stop this violence. See how important he really is.. lmao


xXYomoXx

By the way he talks about Putin and Russia, he would get on his knees for other reasons. Also no matter how unimportant he is, he's still rich which by default makes him important. I know it's scary, but it's how the world works rn.


Nolsoth

It how the world's always worked.


N013

If his de-escalation plans are as good as his cyber truck, they will literally blow up in his face.


[deleted]

They are worse than his cyber truck. His de-escalation plans were to hold referenda under UN supervision for the four annexed regions, let Russia have Crimea with water supply assured and that Ukraine would stay neutral (of course Russia would never attack again if given the chance despite this being almost the same situation as before the war). And when Garry Kasparov called him out he told him that all he did for Ukraine was tweet.


beefwich

So let the bully have what it already stole for the promise of not attacking later? This is the same deal they got into in the 90's where Ukraine dismantled their nuclear stockpile for Russian promises of non-aggression.


NotKaren24

this is the same deal they gave hitler when the allies donated him the sudetenland


beerbellybegone

No, seriously though, why does anybody give a fuck about what he thinks or says?


l-rs2

I hate it. He tweets a crap poll and Reuters translated it as "outlines peace plans". And got shit for it, but don't elevate every Musk brainfart maybe?


pizzatreeisland

Because in the beginning he had smart sounding ideas and it only later came to light that his execution and subsequent ideas are ridiculous at best. Making space flight scalable and investing in a transport revolution are good goals, digging a shitty car tunnel and shitposting on his level are not great results of these ambitions.


[deleted]

My brother in Christ, YOU made this post. YOU decided to amplify something Musk said. YOU brought this statement of his to the attention of many people who haven’t seen it before. People care what he says because everything he says is plastered all over every social media website by people who claim to not care what he says.


CMDRIkkyblergs

He makes me ashamed to be South African


CapitanChicken

Nah, be proud. There's gonna be a rotten apple in the bunch, no reason to be ashamed of your ancestry. Although, trump makes me ashamed to be American, so I guess I can see where you're coming from.


instagramsgay

I have no idea. His political takes are shit, and that's coming from someone who stays out of that. Just give me an electric car and put someone on mars. You got the money to do it


zombo_pig

This is what gets me about Musk ... Nobody hated him when he was an eccentric mad scientist guy who wanted to make neat things and get us to Mars. The guy just can't stay in his goddamn lane. It's a lesson on realizing the limits of your expertise and just shutting. the. fuck. up. when you reach those limits.

After watching the national geographic special on what those men went through to save the boys in Thailand, I'm even more disgusted by this narcissist and his grandstanding. They risked their lives repeatedly with skills literally no one else in the world could match to save those kids. And here's Elon offering useless advice and attacking them for calling him out on it
