Why the left really hates Elon Musk

[martybegan]

The left hates Elon Musk because he’s a twin threat that doesn’t tolerate BS

Musk is thus a twin threat. As the sometime richest man in the world, he has a lot of power, and it’s not under anyone else’s control. And he’s a nerd, with a nerd’s low tolerance for bull. Where more socially “polished” people would go out of their way to show fealty to leftist tropes popular among the Gentry Class regardless of their absurdity, Musk is happy to point out that the emperor has no clothes.

“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” Musk wrote this week. “But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.”

One also remember this man is a supporter of the positions of the "Classic left". He's a believer in AGW, he supports gay rights, he probably supports some form of amnesty for illegals as well as pretty liberal abortion rules (with some restrictions).

What he can't stand is bullies, and absolutists, and those who don't even want opponents to be able to espouse their viewpoints.

He's an actual "liberal", not a woke asshole, and the fact the left has driven him over to our "side" is less about us and more about the left going off the reservation,

Do you actually ever provide an actual response, or just base level snark?

I don't need you to answer, because I know it already.

What "Adoration"

he fights the good fight, like Trump. The money they have just make them more effective.

Unlike the government he's trying to SELL me a Tesla, not force me to buy one after 2035.

The Left hates Elon Musk because he has seen the light.....seen that the Left is scum and decided to become a Conservative!

Also perhaps...because of the fact he is a trillonaire? he-he!

Yeah, if you are in the market for an electric car that costs ~$90,000, has bugs in it, constant recalls, and needs about $10,000 - $20,000 worth of servicing every 5-10 years and needs you to build a service port into the side of your house.

Musk thinks for himself and has FU money so the online mobs and cancel culture crew don't intimdate him those are two things the radical nutjobs can't stand.

Democrats hate truth and reality. Um, imaginary genders, unprovable allegations like Trump sank the Lusitania. Colluded with Russia and blamed his loss on 2020 on imaginary made up election tampering like say TWITTER or the media seems to do...Hmm.

 

[Resnic]

They hate him because is wealthy, his name carries weight, he is popular, he has influence, he gets stuff done and doesn't just talk about it, and when he speaks millions listen. Worst of all, he doesn't put up with bullshit and won't play their popular opinion games.

They also can't control him or shut him down like they do most people. Every day people have no chance but he is almost untouchable because he has money, power and most of all he won't be bullied.

 

[Desperado]

When will you people stop the adoration of rich people?

When will you stop hating people richer than you?

 

[Moonglow]

When will you stop hating people richer than you?

I feel sorry for their obvious addiction.

it would have more value to ask why the right likes Musk.

ITS that untouchable part 0f your post, I really don't want those with the most money hence the most power run our life's

 

[LeftofLeft]

The Left does not hate Wealthy people so long as the wealthy people think like they do.

 

[BluesLegend]

The left hate everyone hell they knife their own in the back if they deviate one iota from the extreme left world view.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

RWs still believe trump is gonna make them rich.
They're not rich and that's the fault of the left for not loving Elon Musk.
Or something like that.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The Left does not hate Wealthy people so long as the wealthy people think like they do.

The same can be said about the right.
And the same can be said about the poor and the working class.
Everyone likes those who think like they do.
Duh.
