Making a joke about something isn't the same as promoting hate, people can joke about things while still respecting them. I suspect Musk's comment was geared towards the pronouns that aren't based in reality, such as animal-based pronouns among others. Granted, Musk's comment wasn't funny. People might be insulted/offended by it, but it isn't as malicious as people make it out to be. I think it was an overreaction on Scott's part, even if he meant well. You view it differently, that's fine. Either way, kudos to you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate that far more than those who ignore my arguments or outright waste my time. I doubt we'll come to an agreement on this topic, so I'll leave it at that for now. Hope you enjoy the holidays. No, sadly his comments were not. his comments were based at what he referred to as the "alphabet mafia" of the lgbtq community not long ago. He kind of made his feelings towards that king of orientation known regarding his own relatives in numerous comments. Making a joke about something is making a joke. But using your pulpit to effectively say it is ok to disrespect people and make fun of them for who they are is crossing a pretty blatant line. It's why I asked about scott vs musk in your comments. All Scott was doing was sousing out just that. Saying dude, respect these people by just accepting their existence. Musk made a joke about it instead (if that is your belief) and then carried on with an oft disproved statement about Fauci. When he tweeted about the rabbit hole; he may have made a mistake about what that term means. As I don't think he fully understands how far down the "rabbit hole" he has apparently gone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyCupOneDay Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 So when do the Musq fans decide to start criticizing him over the hate they say (yet never seem to show in actions or words, weird huh) that they don’t approve of? 1 month? 1 year? Never? You’d think if it was a bunch of trolls trying to test their limits (the argument used by supporters) after he took over that they would have stopped by now. Or maybe, just maybe those behind him just refuse to admit the reality: Musq doesn’t give a flying f about hate and discrimination on the platform, which helps lead to the murders of minorities like in the Club Q mass shooting. And to be frank it’s fairly easy to be against hate and discrimination and those who spread it, that’s just the bare minimum someone can do, but it means nothing if you stay silent, nothing. They seem to hate the wokeist libs more then racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia so none of his clan will ever criticize him for letting it spread like wildfire (especially not those here on CDC). At some point saying you’re against something, but never actually being against people who do that something is empty words. I hope some of you (you know who you are) prove me wrong in my lack of faith of those who constantly defend him and will wake up to the dangers and consequences of letting this stuff slide. It ain’t words to crazy people, it’s permission to murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGA doctrine is literally there to cancel anyone who doesn't fall in lock step or goose step or whatever they do now. Obama spoke plain simple truth. be reasonable. Yelling and screeching at people because they are trying is not activism. Calling people out on social media is not activism. Not everyone is a bad person and that while you can have disagreements, you can also both love your kids, enjoy sunny days etc. To claim that is "maga" type thinking is laughable I think this might have been an attempt at humor, his next tweet was... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 According to Forbes, Elon has managed to lose over $100 billion in the past year..... https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/14/business/bernard-arnault-richest-person/index.html Quote Bernard Arnault, the chairman of French luxury goods giant LVMH (LVMHF), has just become the first European to top Bloomberg’s list of the world’s richest people, relegating Elon Musk to second place. Now worth $171 billion, Arnault’s wealth eclipsed the Tesla CEO’s $164 billion fortune on Tuesday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Arnault had already ousted Musk from the top spot on Forbes’ list of “Real Time Billionaires” last week. Musk’s net worth has tumbled by $107 billion this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Arnault’s wealth, which stems from his controlling stake in LVMH, has suffered a more modest $7 billion decline. The divergence is partly down to the stock performance of the companies in which the pair own shares. Musk’s purchase of Twitter (TWTR) hasn’t helped either. Still, he is in no imminent danger of falling further down the list: His fortune remains comfortably bigger than that of Indian industrialist Gautam Adani ($125 billion) and Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos ($116 billion), who rank third and fourth on Bloomberg’s list. While Tesla (TSLA)’s share price has plummeted 54% this year, LVMH stock has held steady, supported by robust sales in the United States and Europe. The luxury market has remained relatively steady this year, even as surging inflation has led less-affluent shoppers to change their spending habits. LVMH has a market value of €362.4 billion ($386 billion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you nailed it in your post last page about wokeness and pronouns. I believe he does worry about wokeness but for no other reason than it is becoming so damaging to his brand. I find it hard to believe he cares a flying fig about pronouns, proven by the naming of his child. The art of misdirection. Is he up to something or is he just another ‘stable genius’? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pledged his Tesla stock for margin loans and it's at a new 2 year low. He's repeatedly being forced to liquidate his Tesla stock to satisfy margin requirements. In other words "he done f***ed up". Right on schedule. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's failed to account for is most of his customer base is granola munching eco leftists. Who have many options when it comes to EV's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
