Yes, I do consider Elon Musk better than RINOS and majority of those on the left, but lets not kid ourselves thinking he is the next conservative messiah that will save America either.
He is not our enemy but not our ally like some here might be thinking he does what benefits himself and is a wildcard whereas most billionaires only follow the status quo and left think tank. I do think it is great he bought out twitter to weaken the leftist's censorship cabal having a complete monopoly on social media. |

I don't worship him, and he has a number of stances I disagree with, but he's objectively 100 times better than the rest of our "elite."
|

I don't see anyone holding up musk to be the next conservative messiah. I do see a lot of people happy to see someone stick a giant cactus up the leftist's vagine.
|

Lol, I ain't seen anyone worship the guy.
Plenty of folks getting a kick out of him making commies cry though. Me included! |

Elon Musk's Not-a-Flamethrower is Silly, and Not a Flamethrower |

Quoted: I don't worship him, and he has a number of stances I disagree with, but he's objectively 100 times better than the rest of our "elite." View Quote This right here. I don't understand why he's been so polarizing - not just now, but over the last couple of years as well. It seems like a rather large number of people either completely love or completely hate him. He's got some really good ideas in some areas, where I think he really is trying to make a positive impact. His thoughts on some other things, not so much - ranging from just "I don't agree with him" to "holy cow that's fucking stupid". |

"Worship" is not the same as support.
Supporting Elon is imperative for our goals of free speech. You don't have to like him or his beliefs about rocket ships and EV but you have to support his takeover of Twitter. |
|
giving a fuck about what "people" think about you is exactly what's wrong with GOPe. The left/media is going to hate you either way, don't worry about what they call you.

One does not need to be a "conservative" to save America. They have never had the sack to save anything other than their own skin.
|

I’m not worshiping the guy, but he’s making the people I hate really sad right now so I’m giving him a thumbs up.
When he does a 180 and goes commie I can give him a bad review on Twitter. |

It's in our nature to look for a savior, why do you think so many people are Christian?
We're all desperate to have someone save us, but nobody is going to. That's why everyone on the right loved Trump, they thought he'd save us all. We wouldn't have to do any of the hard work in life to save ourselves, nobody would have to do what the Founding Fathers did, because Trump or Elon or whoever is just going to save the day for us all. I don't blame us though, we're all overworked, underpaid, living by the seat of our pants trying to keep our families in the comfortable lifestyles we're all dangerously addicted to so nobody wants to do anything, myself included as I just want to enjoy my days. I'm not down volunteering at some campaign headquarters right now or activist group, I'm not putting in hard work every day to make a difference, and neither is the bulk of America. We just want someone else to take care of it for us and we'll have his or her back....way back. |

View Quote Because everything is polarizing and you have to either hate or love everything. He went from the left's EV savior of the planet to literally Hitler pretty damn quick. The right just doesn't like the idea of EVs. I still don't, but Elon has been right about a lot since the 2020. |

This thread is more like OP turn off the damn TV and live some life.

The obsession over Elon Musk is truly strange.
The second he 'bought/maybe will buy' Twitter-- Trump was held in contempt. Day 2? He's taking jabs at 'Truth Social'. Truth social is now #1 on the app store.. I knew from the beginning this wasn't a win for conservatives.. he's just messing with the SEC/Vanguard/Blackrock over his unrealized gains being taxed. Let's see if he can get the money together for Twitter.. I'm sick of his trolling and I assure you he's only on his side. |
|
Nobody is worshipping him that didn’t worship him before.
It’s delightfully entertaining that a free speech advocate might be putting Twitter (a notorious censor of dissenting opinions) in a “fuck around and find out” situation, and watching the infocrats piss their pants over it. As long as Elon is anti gun, he’s no friend of ours. |
|
I'm hard pressed to think of " one of us'" who pulled off such a major score for freedom on purpose, let alone as an unintended consequence of their own self serving.

Democrats, for whom politics is very much an us-vs-them battle, will 100% ignore any wrongdoing from their own side and have zero self awareness or care about being hypocritical. This is how third world dictatorships and shitholes work.
Conservatives on the other hand, tend to celebrate people for making good decisions/actions and lambaste/destroy them when they do anything against their values. This is how the western world should work. This is how you encourage good actions and discourage bad actions. So it is perfectly fine to cheer Elon in this moment for so far doing a good thing. If he does something bad, we will immediately and rightly turn on him. There is no need to worry about whether you will feel bad in the future for cheering him now if he does something bad in the future. Since what we care about is good actions and outcomes, not whether someone is on "our team" or not. |

I dont worship Elon, but I will start if he changes the name from Twitter to MyspaceX.

New guy alert, new guy alert…all hands on deck…assume battle stations…

Ugh, "making us look bad", who gives a fuck? Such a tired and weak "concern".
I don't see people worshiping him anyway, just those enjoying the entertainment he's provided. |
|
making us look bad to who? The left? that ship sailed and sank years ago. The far right? The Middle?
please tell us to whom you are referring |

Is there a person anywhere on the economic scale that DOESN'T do things that benefit themselves?

Op is correct. I don't think he is the savior of Twitter that he is being puffed up to be. He has all the ability in the world to reverse course, but I think we may be getting kavanaugh'd... In that there will be all this fuss and initial liberal tears, and then we find out that it is essentially status quo.
And that's only if the deal actually goes through... There is a small chance that it won't. In that case, would the stock increase being caused be greater than the $1 billion broken agreement fee? Could beat great marketing ploy by Twitter. And hell, they may even keep that in courts for years to come. My guess, in the end, is that the purchase will happen, and it will be a disappointment to many of us. It will be better than before, but just kind of meh |

I will take someone that calls woke a “mind virus” and put $40+bln on the line for American free speech as an ally, any day of the week.

He’s done incredible things. Sticking it into Twitter in the name of free speech, which I believe he’s very sincere about, is just awesome. I don’t care about his politics. I care that he’s fucking the mentally ill sanity of the left. He’s certainly on my top 5 people I’d like to have dinner with. |

He has those dicks at Twitter squealing like stuck pigs. He's okay in my book this week
