Why is Elon Musk such a disgusting, despicable, lawless, cruel, and arrogant human being?

The Contentious History Between Elon Musk and Former FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker

Quote

Musk blamed the FAA for nothing short of stifling the dreams of the human race as a whole. “The fundamental problem,” he posted on Sept. 17, “is that humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA!”

Here's some good news for people heartbroken about this tragedy.

Musk won't last.  That is now certain.  Trump does not like messes he did not cause.  Even though he would never admit that publicly.  And only Trump is arrogant enough to think God chose him to save the human race.  Having JD for an obedient lap dog who backs his attacks on the FAA?  That's fine.  Having a No. 2 in the job of saving the human race?  Or at least savings America?  Or Trumpland, or whatever he thinks it is?  That's too much.

And if Trump is too weak to do it, time for Democrats to kick in.  This guy needs to go.  What an arrogant, awful, despicable, and totally useless piece of shit.  Ugh!

Maybe he can figure out how to actually get people to the moon safely some day.  Great.  Do that. Try to do something good.  But all he has done for weeks is systematically attack and humiliate the FAA, among other government agencies.  Why?  FOR DOING ITS JOB.  FOR UPHOLDING PUBLIC SAFETY.  FOR HAVING THE BALLS TO FINE THE ARROGANT FUCKER FOR VIOLATING PUBLIC SAFETY.

Fire the asshole.  Or let him resign for the good of the nation and FAA, like Republicans forced Washington to do.  But Musk of course has neither the character nor humility to do that.  He is just arrogant, small, and cruel.

To answer your question, because he is OBSCENELY rich, and is getting a big kick out of living his fetish of OWNING Trump and America , and he CAN !.

And as long as the American people continue to allow him to, he will continue taking them down his destructive path, and doing Nazi salutes all the way.

Agreed.

But as a footnote I will add that the American people never voted for this guy.

They never voted for Trump, in a way.  He has never actually won 50 % of the vote.  Neither did Bill Clinton, to be fair.  But that was because both times Clinton ran Perot was a significant third party candidate.  Trump ran in a two way race and he could still not get 50 % of America to back him.

America certainly never voted for Musk.  He is a special interest corrupt political donor who feels he is above the law and can buy a Presidency or buy whatever he wants.  And he is particularly inept and emotionally immature in how he does it.  It's worse than trump.  "Look at me!  Look at me!  I can fire the people who keep America safe!  What could possibly go wrong?  Look at me!
 

 

Sorry, but I'll go data geek now.  What scared me a few weeks ago but maybe isn't as bad as it seemed is what young people, especially young men, think about Musk. 

Democrats now have a young male problem - both White and Hispanic.  And they have a young Black male problem, too.  But with young Black men it's more that they are just alienated, period.  They wouldn't vote for Harris because they didn't care.  That hurt her in Philly, Miwaukee, Detroit.  With a lot of young White and Hispanic men, and possibly Asian men, it is that they are attracted to this stuff.  Elon is the great entrepreneur.  Elon will save us.  He'll bring us to the moon, when people mostly just want to be able to fly from Kansas to DC safely.

YouGov polls this stuff about weekly, so they make it easy to track.  In their Jan 5-8 poll, Musk had 43/46 net disapproval.    In their new Jan 26-28 poll it's 44/48 net disapproval.  How Musk fired the competent FAA head because he feels above the law and doesn't want to be accountable to public safety has only begun to play out.  So that new poll could not have measured it.  But in both polls, Musk does not have the approval of even a plurality of Americans.  This asshole is NOT what America wants.  By the time his attacks on the FAA and public safety became known, more people will likely feel he was a DANGEROUS HIRE.

What I found scary in the early Jan. poll is that even though Musk overall had a net 43/46 disapproval rating, among voters aged 18-29 it was 48/42 net approval,  And among all men, in both polls, Musk has 53/42 net approval.  So it is safe to assume a lot of young men like this guy.  He's their Daddy, or their entrepreneur role model, or the cool guy that owns X, or whatever.

Now he's the guy with a distaste for public safety, the law, and FAA efforts to keep Americans safe.  So we'll see.  But even by this latest YouGov poll voters aged 18-29 now net disapprove of Musk, 43/47.  So the respect was never deserved, and didn't last long.  In the latest poll Musk actually gained a little approval among older voters who are conservative and now probably see him as Trump's ranting oligarch and special interest billionaire donor.

Democrats have to be clear in attacking this asshole that this is not what America voted for.  He represents a minority of Americans who are happy to trash democracy, trash public safety, and watch special interest billionaires get their taxes cut as they try to destroy the government they don't want taxing and regulating them.

Musk is a "squatter" in the White House,  unelected and unwanted...... But he seems to be the "acting" President.  Young males have small brains who look at Musk and say "He's COOL"  "He's uber Rich"   aND he's smarter than Trump so they are OK with him taking the lead.   But more than just young males make up America, and only if these other people join forces and RESIST will we see "the fall of Musk"......   Musk believes he PURCHSED America, so he's executing his "purchase power"..... Cant blame him, BUT thats not how things work in a Democratic government.     Musk needs to stay in his "space" lane and just reap his fortune, which he will..   But as Must sucks up most of the spotlight, Trump will get more and more irate, and at some point the damn will burst.  Trumps always must be #1...... and Musk is dimming his light and air time . 

Trump doesnt wear all that Orange makeup for nuthin.....    Leapin Musk MUST go !   

But Musk claims.....

Well, he won't go empty-handed, that's for sure.

After trying for a week or so, he now has access to the federal payment system.  It's the federal government's 6 trillion dollar checking account used to pay salaries for federal workers, Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds and payments to grant recipients and government contractors - including Musk's competitors.

Previously, only a small number of Treasury Department career officials had access to the system but now Musk and his 'DOGE' buddies have their hands on the account.  That's thanks to Scott Bessent, Trump's newly appointed Treasury Secretary who turned over access to the personal data of millions of Americans who never imagined Elon Musk would have access to their financial and medical information.

Don't get me wrong.  It's possible he's not looking for a few trillion dollars to fund tax breaks for billionaires, and he may find that I've actually overpaid my taxes and Donald Trump has underpaid his.  And if my Social Security checks go up and my Medicare payments come down, I'll be sure to post an update.

In the meantime, here's hoping that none of these new super-users gets hacked. 🤞

There MUST be, or needs to be laws against UNelected, non-govt individual having access to confidential, sensitive information.   While Trump may benefit from "absolute immunity"  Leapin Musk DOES NOT.   Now Trump may say he needs this info to do the job he "purchased",  but there is no legal precedent for it.  Its all shady and underhanded, and an extreme Over reach by Musk.   Where are the Fucking DEMS ?     They should be hootin and hollerin, and while Trump is clearly the author of all this corruption and chaos,  the Dems are being complicit, which doesnt serve them well if they want to regain power down the road.   While Trump takes a wrecking ball to our government and democracy, the Dems are just holding their wheel barrel for the Debris....   Its ENRAGING.   

For all the praise heaped on Hakeem Jeffries, he is a huge disappointment.   The fact that the Dems gave ANY of Trumps cabinet nominees a vote infuriates me.   If tables were turned, GOP would not be giving Dems any votes on anyone.   While we may not be able to win every argument,  Dems can certainly put up obstacles.   They are FAILING big time !

WHEN THIS ARROGANT CRUEL MAN OPENS HIS MOUTH, LIES AND IGNORANCE COME OUT.  HE HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, LET ALONE DOING.

HE CAN AND HAS GOTTEN PEOPLE KILLED.  HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT "PUBLIC SAFETY". 

HE NEEDS TO RESIGN OR BE FIRED.  IMMEDIATELY.

 

I was going to post on that, @Lookin.  But I figured even verbose me needs to have some limit.

But here's the most despicable part about that:

Quote

“The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups,” Musk wrote. “They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.”

Yes, and he forget to mention DEI created terrorism in the US, as well.

What we don't quite know about Musk yet is whether he is so stupid that he believes what he says.  Or whether he is so cynical and dishonest, like Trump, that he enjoys misleading and hurting people.  Like Trump, it may make him feel him like an important person.  Maybe he likes knowing he can not only fly you to the moon, but get you killed when you are simply flying home through his attacks and ignorance and cruelty.

Quote

Federal agencies reported $236 billion in improper payments in the 2024 fiscal year. The bulk came from Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, pandemic relief loans to small businesses, Treasury’s earned income tax credit and Social Security payments.

If Musk can help us get that to $237 billion or $238 billion,  like by leaning on Trump to stop being a felon and cheat, great.  I think the federal government already knew that people like Musk sometimes cheat.  So far, Musk is twenty steps behind everyone else.  Including the FAA, and even Trump.  He has no fucking clue what he is talking about.  And so when he opens his mouth and says false things, he either lies, or simply makes us all more ignorant.

He needs to go.
