I will never forgive Elon Musk for making the letter X uncool.

I feel like much of the base here won't know who Jimmy Savile was and what he did. But yes, it's a REEEALLY poor choice of slogan."Trump will fix it."
Unfortunate slogan.

Most normal folks saw the writing on the wall with him in 2018 when he showed his ass being a fragile, manbaby faggot who got absolutely assblasted when people told him his stupid ideas would get everyone killed during the Tham Luang cave rescue.MFW

I don't get this guy anymore, tesla is not doing great, leaks say the mechazilla thing barely worked and he's sperging in public like this. Even if he didn't have any of those problems, why? why do this shit? you could be banging supermodels in a megayatch bro...
It never occurred to me until now that he probably named that child based on his retarded obsession with the letter X (the name is "X Æ A-Xii", really needs the woke mind virus to make a child hate a father who would do a thing like that).He had X-child 2.0 wearing a MVGA hat.
Wasn’t his tranny kid named Xavier but changed it to Vivienne? Do you think Elon is more upset his kid is trans, or that the X name was rejected?It never occurred to me until now that he probably named that child based on his retarded obsession with the letter X (the name is "X Æ A-Xii", really needs the woke mind virus to make a child hate a father who would do a thing like that).
The kid after that was originally named "Exa", (Exa Dark Sideræl) which is the letter X pronounced.
His other children have "normal" white trash names.

This is the same man who is wanting to make humanoid robots and one of the pitches for them is that they can watch your children.> Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly Xavier Alexander Musk)
Yes.
I wonder how much he actually cares about his children at all. He keeps making them in this really soulless way. I doubt he puts any effort into raising them.
It’s the classic situation where he doesn’t have anyone by him except the most hardcore sycophants. Self awareness has never been one of Elon’s strong suits but he doesn’t have anyone close to him who tells him what a retarded sperg he’s acting. When your net worth is $200+ billion, you get a lot of free passes to act like a retard. It’s almost like people shouldn’t have that level of wealth and influence over society. I don’t really know of any billionaire who isn’t some kind of megalomaniac who feels it is their personal mission to micromanage the lives of the lumpenproletariat.MFW

The lean-back and shoulder shimmy he does :11 is one of the gayest things I've even seen. Try and recreate it in the mirror, I bet you'll fail. That is virtuoso levels of gay. Elon is to gay as Yo Yo Ma is to cello.
I think Elon isn't even acting like a retard, I genuinely think the man is retarded. Like he fired the PR Team that made him appear smart, bought twitter for the PR move of being Free Speech yet being extremely open about his political opinions to the point he artificially boosts accounts that validate him, openly insult advertisers yet wonders why he's losing money on Twitter, and is trying to have control over the next Republican administration yet puts himself in the spotlight doing dumb actions that draw too much attention which could fuck him over if things don't go his way.It’s the classic situation where he doesn’t have anyone by him except the most hardcore sycophants.

Elon could be making sure that happens with his America PAC
Workers Say They Were Tricked and Threatened as Part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort
America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump.
“I was in shock and disbelief,” says a paid door knocker flown to Michigan to help turn out the vote for former president Donald Trump on behalf of Elon Musk’s America PAC.
In Michigan, canvassers and paid door knockers for the former president, contracted by a firm associated with America PAC, have been subjected to poor working conditions: A number of them have been driven around in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, according to video obtained by WIRED, and threatened that their lodging at a local motel wouldn’t be paid for if they didn’t meet canvassing quotas. One door knocker alleges that they didn’t even know they were signing up for anything having to do with Musk or Trump.
A representative for Musk and America PAC did not return a request for comment.
The contract these door knockers signed with Blitz Canvassing, which is a subcontractor of Musk’s America PAC, says they are “expected to maintain a 17-22% engagement rate during the campaign,” which is a high target relative to the number of people who typically open their door for a stranger. A group of out-of-state America PAC canvassers were told during a recent team meeting that if they didn’t hit their targets, which the door knocker says were more than 1,000 a week on total doors knocked, the organization would stop paying for their motel rooms.

“What’s gonna happen is, they’re gonna stop paying for these rooms,” a manager told the door knockers in an audio recording obtained by WIRED. “And then you’re gonna end up having to pay for it yourself. You can’t do that with no money.” The door knocker also alleges that they were told that they will have to pay for their own flight home.
Blitz Canvassing, which had received more than $9 million from America PAC for presidential campaign canvassing as of October 29, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

One of the canvassers, who was flown in from outside the Midwest, tells WIRED they had no idea they would be knocking on doors in support of Trump or that the subcontractor they were working for was part of Elon Musk’s voter-turnout operation through America PAC.
“I knew nothing of the job, or much of the job description, other than going door to door and asking the voters who are they voting for,” says a door knocker who was one of the people in the back of the van and who is requesting anonymity because they signed a nondisclosure agreement. “Then, after I signed over an NDA, is when I found out we are for Republicans and with Trump.”
The door knocker adds that they had “overheard my supervisor and a few others mention Elon Musk” by name, marking the first time they had heard of the billionaire X owner’s involvement.
The Trump campaign has largely outsourced its field operation in Michigan to Musk, a move that has come under heavy criticism as previously reported by WIRED. Blitz Canvassing has also reportedly had issues with fake door knocks being flagged by Campaign Sidekick, the glitchy app used by America PAC. In Nevada and Arizona, up to a quarter of the door interactions were flagged as potential fakes within the app, according to The Guardian. (“Sidekick was never expected to handle the auditing of America PAC’s door operation. The reason the PAC is confident in its numbers is because of the auditing procedures each canvassing firm puts in place and the auditing procedures of the PAC writ large,” a person familiar with the America PAC operation told The Guardian at the time.)
Field organizing normally does not work this way. The gold standard for door knocking apps is MiniVAN, and transportation usually involves carpooling with other volunteers or campaign staff offering a ride—preferably, with seat belts.
Initially, the paid door knockers for the Blitz subcontractor didn’t have transportation to get around Michigan, since no one in the group had a valid driver’s license. On Saturday, October 19, supervisors for the canvassers initially commandeered some Ubers for them to reach their list of addresses. But by Sunday, the door knockers were loaded into a rented U-Haul moving van with no rear seating or seatbelts, in a photo and videos viewed by WIRED. “We were all told our transportation would be handled and we’d be in rental cars. It turned out to be U-Haul vans, and I felt embarrassed and played,” the door knocker tells WIRED.
The video from inside the van shows a bumpy ride, with a cage separating the mostly Black door knockers from their driver. The driver also told the group of door knockers that he was in pain and had difficulty driving: “I just had surgery, bro,” the U-Haul driver says in another recording obtained by WIRED. “Like half of my foot is cut off.”
“I’m scared,” the door knocker who spoke to WIRED replies on the recording.
“And all [the manager] is concerned about is how many motherfuckin’ doors the bitch got,” the driver responds.
The canvassers were then dropped off roughly 40 minutes apart from each other, relying on the mobile app to log their interactions at front doors.
In a contract agreement reviewed by WIRED, door knockers were given specific “performance guidelines” along with a mandate to “keep the GPS function of their personal device turned on during all working hours.” Each knock at the door must be done in 15 seconds or less, and the contractors “must remain on a property for at least 30 seconds.”
The Campaign Sidekick app used by America PAC has severe limitations in its functionality, including the lack of a geo-tracking feature—hence the requirement that canvassers leave GPS services on for their personal devices at all times, according to a contract reviewed by WIRED—forcing them to use “offline walkbooks,” a function of the America PAC app, that don’t offer the support of GPS or real-time upload capabilities.
While this particular group of door knockers was being managed through Blitz Canvassing, screenshots shared with WIRED show America PAC listed in the mobile app they were using to knock on doors.
“Recommended attire includes a red polo shirt with khaki pants or jeans, and closed-toed shoes,” the “attire” section of the contract reads. “Clothing with graffiti, writing, or ripped jeans/shorts is not allowed.”
