    During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025. “They’re obviously not going to admit that the reason that they’re protesting is because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse, they’re gonna come up with some other reason, but that is the real reason for the protests,” said the billionaire.

    Y’all were gettin’ paid to protest? That girl who got caught setting fire to Teslas, she was paid too? All the people protesting… paid? Uh huh That’s my first nope 🙂‍↔️

    My second nope: you literally have been paying people to vote in your favor.

    He’s so full of it 🤣 He’s regurgitating his own excrement and totally dim to the absurdity or irony of what he’s defecating.

    So, like the usual double-speak rhetoric from this party, just gotta invert what he says:

    Elmo Muskrat pays for protestors, and is sad that his paid protestors aren’t as effective as real ones.

    Describing the left as “very organized” is the funniest thing I’ve read all year.

    That should have investors chomping at the bit to have him replaced.

    Who the fuck has all this money to pay for protesters?

    Wait it must be the same people who can afford to give away drugs in Halloween candy…

    Than stop paying for people to show up on your side and then you won’t have a problem. The people against you are doing it for free.

    The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He’s truly revolting to anyone who sees him.

    All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. I’ve heard his dick doesn’t work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.

    So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they’ll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he’s so fucking wierd.

    It fills me with such glorious schadenfreude to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying “Money can’t buy happiness.”

      Yup. Richest guy in the world also wants to be the most popular and loved too. He could have easily continued that image by not actively damaging his “brand” for no reason with his immature outbursts. He also could have given money to those that needed it, not going to happy as it seems those were never apart of his core values. He loves pretending that they are though.

      There was a post yesterday or so that he was extremely depressed after getting booed on stage with Dave Chappelle. That made me quite happy.

    If President Musk would be so kind as to post a link to the website or app where I can sign up to get paid for displaying leftist views and hating on oligarchs, I would really appreciate it. I could use some duckets.

      For future reference, it’s ducats.

      Ducat was a “trade coin”(not usually a legal/single state currency) that started in the late 1200s Italy, and was still used by Austra in the early 1900s.

      Exactly, I’m ethusiastically trashing him on a daily basis for free, I’d LOVE to get paid for it. I’d be so good at it, I’d probably get promoted.
