Just stop giving this guy press and airtime.
On the one hand, I fully agree, we need to limit his power by just not fucking paying attention to him. On the other, if we stop trying to broadcast what an odious fucking human being he is, the more he’ll be able to pump money into media outlets and PACs to influence global policy in his favor

I think we can even take that simaly and turn it into a literal statement
Yeah. Most of his power comes from his literal hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth, not the attention. Ignoring him will not suddenly make him a working-class bloke like everyone else.
Elon Musk says something fucking stupid, must be Tuesday.
Only on days that end in ‘y’.
I think the only people interested in his opinion are incels, so we can just stop giving them all airtime
I mean at this point if you told me Elon Musk supports shoving babies into Tesla-branded mills to power his private jet somehow, I’d probably feel only mild surprise.
Agreed. Best thing for him would be to STFU, but he seems incapable.
So, if I can’t vote, that means I can stop paying for all the shit I don’t use, that’s specifically for kids, right? No more payments to help schools, after school programs, meal programs. Hell yeah, my taxes just got quite a bit cheaper.
To clarify, I’m totally fine paying for those things, as they help lift society up (when government doesn’t steal the obey and give it to the Uber rich/giant corporations). It just don’t think that fuck face realizes what all us “childless losers” do for them.
If voting patterns are any indication, people without children already tend to vote against education and childcare funding. Thank you for being an exception. As someone who works around kids and has many friends who do, I can’t emphasize enough the difference that just a little more funding can make to improving the lives of children - and by extension society at large.
People who are disconnected from it don’t see the direct connection between, say, teacher morale and support, and how well students do. If the teachers in a system are always stressed because they’re underpaid, always scrounging for supplies, and in charge of too large a classroom, everyone in the class suffers. And when kids with emotional disorders spike because there is no support for parents, they soak up all the attention, and students who might be fine start floundering because the staff is busy trying to keep a leash on the poor kid who is acting out because his parents are fucked up.
Do you have a source for your initial claim? That is something I have never heard before, and I taught for 13 years.
Plenty of people who have had children and raised them are against paying school taxes after their kids leave school. The number of times I have heard Grand parents talk about unfair it is that they have to pay taxes on schools is insane. Source: lived in a community where the average age was 72.
The empathy deficit in this country is what’s killing us all.
This comment is the one we should be talking about. We all lack empathy, at least politically and socially.
It’s the sickness we should be treating, instead of constantly triaging all the symptoms.
Well, I’d support eliminating voting rights for rich people who weasel out of paying their taxes. No taxation without representation or vice versa.
What… the actual fuck…
I vote we eliminate elon musk
Gotta keep that cheap labor flowing. A cheap labor that hasn’t really existed legally since the Victorian age, after which we decided as a society that it was bullshit to exploit children. But Elon doesn’t care about that, because he’s an Edgelord and all failed ideas are new and fresh and indicate his vast intelligence.
Idiot Billionaire has dogshit opinions. What else is new?
Critics have accused Mr Musk of holding eugenecist views about populations
I mean, only if you go by the things he’s said and done.
Creepy middle-aged white South African man may be racist, more at 11!
Let’s be fair here. While the things he says might seem racist when you first hear them, if you keep an open mind, listen to them a second time, and think critically about them, they’re actually very racist
Elon Musk supports eliminating rights for people who aren’t Elon Musk… That’s about it, I think…
One thought I cannot shake off: promoting children that aggressively within the western cultural hemisphere, while the world’s population is actually growing, maybe even too much, is actually horribly racist.
Is it only me?
Fine then I don’t have to pay taxes anymore.
