Summary

At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.

He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.

Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”

Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.

    That’s because, like every other egotistical rich asshole, he has surrounded himself with yes men who are only around to eat his crumbs.

    Imagine living your life unaware that no one around you actually likes you.

      He was always like this, BTW. Even back in the 90s his relatives wanted him to stay out of the spotlight because of his poor social skills.

      What’s amusing is that a lot of smart people were giving him sideeye even before he bought xitter and wayyyy before the Nazi salutes. It took the nonsense surrounding him when he bought xitter and after he seized power for me to realize he had no fucking clue what he was doing. And of course his magoff sympathies started to become more and more apparent…

      When I saw other broligarchs wishing they could behave the way he did when he seized xitter (treating labor like dirt), the general problem here was obvious.
