Summary
Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.
Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.
Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.
I don’t want Elon dead, I want him to go bankrupt, fail at creating some NRx corporate dictatorship so hard that he brings about a socialist utopia, and then end up getting the drug and mental health treatment he so badly needs for free, eventually issuing an apology for becoming such an asshole and proceeding to live out the rest of his days giving Ted talks around the theme of how being the richest person on earth was the most miserable time of his life.
This is a timeline I would vote for.
What a whining fucking maggot. Elon and that whole cohort of cowardly cunts are destroying education, Social Security, international relations, food safety, financial security, and any kind of safety net for the tens of millions of people who will fall through the cracks and die because of their greed. Yeah, no fucking shit people want you dead. It’s not out of spite, or jealousy, or political differences. It’s self preservation.
If he were killed, his killer would be more popular than Luigi.
A man should have goals.
Women, too. Never forget: The female of the species is often deadlier than the male.
I mean, I don’t want to kill Musk, but I would certainly toast his obituary. The world would objectively be a better place without him on it.
Oligarchs deserve what’s coming. The Oligarchs are trying to convince the people they don’t have rights. At first the people will peacefully demand the restoration of the constitutional order. When the oligarchs refuse, the people will fight back, taking the fight to the doorstep of the oligarchs. If fighting starts, it will be too late for the oligarchs - the people are well armed.
Musk a martyr? FFS, these people are so dumb.
It’s a pretty risky game he’s playing, being the public face of his business while also being an unelected president.
I think honestly it’s not just the conflict of interest threat that warrants someone in public office divesting themselves. We’re seeing that it’s better for the companies too - keeps them insulated from the impact of unpopular decisions.
It’s why he brings squishy children to hide behind
I know he has like a million kids, but what is he going to do when they are all too big to give piggy back rides all day?
Easy. He’ll just keep having more kids.
what is he going to do when they are all too big to give piggy back rides
Nothing enough Flex Tape can’t fix.
Ahhh…diddums lose a few billion dollars in notional worth? Are those bad bullies boycotting little Muskie’s terrible cars?
Ahhh… That’s so saaad…
I don’t know about want…. But if were to happen…. I wouldn’t lose sleep.
If he were killed they would all give fake sadness and fake tears but in private they would all be ‘FINALLY’. The internet will be up in arms with celebration, and the simps will eventually forget they even knew the guy.
Why would any person want to kill Muskrat? I can’t even think of 10,000 reasons. I certainly don’t think the world would be a better place if he was feeding worms in a shallow grave.
If he would drop his doge bullshit the hate would fade almost overnight even with the Nazi salute shit
Honestly, I’m hoping he just speed runs the McAfee plan. Drop down a k-hole into a paranoid delusion and then do the world a favor at the end
Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand
This is the narrative Musk and Republicans want.
The protests and vandalism aren’t hurting his brand.
They’re another consequence of him openly being a fucking Nazi, which is what’s hurting his brand.
It’s not that complicated, but a shit ton of people keep missing the point
“I can excuse some nazism, but vandalism is where I draw the line!”
…you can excuse nazism?
Won’t someone think of the stock market?!
-Neoliberals
Protests and vandalism are the effects of a shitty brand, not the cause. Musk himself is the cause.
Also “controversial statements and perceived elitism” is doing some heavy lifting…
Hope he never has another moment of peace.
by doubling his intake of ketamine binges, and downing expensive bottles of dom perrignon.

I don’t want you dead, Elon. I want you to be penniless and without anyone willing to loan you money anymore.
I don’t want you dead, Elon.
Let’s not be hasty, now.
Nah, they’re right. Dead people can’t suffer.
While he certainly deserves to suffer proportional to the suffering he’s causing, top priority is stop him from causing more - if that means he ends up taking a bullet in a manner that renders him incapable of processing what’s happening, I’ll still count that as a good start.
While he certainly deserves to suffer proportional to the suffering he’s causing
Even Abu Gharib would struggle to do that. The scale of influence billionaires have is insane.
Can’t we have both?
I want Squirrel Girl to mob him with 1000s of squirrels, dragging him from wherever he is to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, then dangle him by whatever nuts he’s got on him.
Then I’ll be happy.
I mean, no amount of torture will ever be proportional to the amount of suffering he’s caused, so, if the opportunity presents to make his death excruciating, then by all means: my point is simply that all that takes the back burner to stopping him from damaging our country/planet.
Stop him at any cost; use him as an opportunity to send a warning to other oligarchs if able.
Personally, I would prefer the squirrels to treat him like roadkill. They can start with his precious nuts and work their way up.
I don’t care if he’s dead or not. I just never want to have to hear that stupid Twitter guy say another word. I’m at the point where a single sentence from him makes me cringe enough to throw my phone across the room. Dead or irrelevant makes no difference to me. Just wish he was gone. Go to Mars already idiot.
Speak for yourself.
I don’t care what happens to him as long as I no longer have to hear about him.
You’ll be heading about him for a long time. I mean Hitler is still taught about today as far as I know.

Yeah if he’s dead, how will we revel in his failures?
Posthumously.
I remember about twenty years or so ago there was a tiny plaque in there parking lot the Soviets built over the fürerbunker. It gave me great calmness to pee there, against the sign
Now it’s a bus stop. So current and future generations are deprived of this simple connection with their anti-fascist ancestors.
I want him to blast off on a self funded one way trip to Mars with his closest friends. Then televise him and friends trying to create a Mars society. It would be better than any reality show produced yet.
What odds are they giving for “shitty rocket accidentally blows up on launch”?
Gleefully
