is Elon Musk pure evil?

NBC said, based on an anonymous source, that Musk can’t be trusted around girls

MSNBC just said he wants a return to 1980s apartheid.

They offered exactly zero evidence to support the idea he’s a rapist and a racist. But they said it anyway

those tolerant, honest liberals.

The Venn Diagram of people cheering for Musk to make this a “free speech” platform and the people who are cheering for a corporation to be punished by a government for supporting LGBTQ rights is a perfect circle.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Elon Musk will withdraw his $44 billion takeover offer for Twitter.

you’re not embarrassed by that? tattling like a whiny little girl? good lord man, grow a pair.

i guess that’s easier than defending calling someone a rapist and racist with literally zero evidence.

You can’t defend that, you can’t claim i made it up, so you want to ban it.

I guess your central nervous system is starting to fall apart, due to your perceived prospects in november.

Another not a racist billionaire, who's not really a good guy but I'd work for him because he's rich and that's what counts.
Morals are second to wealth.

The suits against Tesla are two of many facing the company and its chief executive, Elon Musk. Investors at Twitter announced a suit against Musk last week regarding his recent investments in the company. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Musk and his brother for insider trading. On Friday, a judge settled another suit against Musk, ruling he had falsely claimed he had funds to take the company private in 2018.

It is also not the first time Tesla has been accused of tolerating egregious discrimination at the Fremont plant. In 2017 it faced a class action suit regarding widespread racism at the factory, and a jury in 2021 ruled in favor of a former employee who alleged discrimination and was awarded $130m in damages.

A federal judge in California last week awarded $15m to a former Tesla elevator operator in a racial bias case. The judge slashed a $137m jury verdict but said the plaintiff had shown ample evidence of racial abuse and Tesla’s failure to address it.

No. As dirty as it can be sometimes, I prefer not to filter out and censor people, even to a fault. I think when one side can put a thumb on the scale of discourse at will and with full cover of media and Gov, they will. So first they will ban what actually might be hate speach but they won't stop there, and will then ban any competing speech. Because of that view, Elon told me he was not going to buy the site. He did tell me his is buying Coca Cola to put the Cocaine back in the formula, so I got that going for me.

Wow, wayne, you put ZERO in all caps, that MUST mean you caught me!

Except...

Here's video showing MSNBC, owned by NBC, saying that Elon Musk "wants apartheid back", which I'm pretty sure makes him a white supremacist. Is that wrong?

https://nypost.com/2022/04/27/joy-re...ica-apartheid/

Here's a report that CNBC, owned by NBC, saying Musk is "a great engineer and businessman but I would not trust him with my daughter"

https://therayfield.com/cnbc-lets-de...th-my-daughter

Yup, you sure showed me!

Bitch. Slapped.

I'm only a hypocrite on the issue, if you can show where I was previously OK with calling someone a rapist/racist with no evidence. When was I ok with that?

I'm not sure you know what "hypocrite" means.

Do you have ANY evidence, that I'm a hypocrite here?

It's almost unfair, how delightful it is. Watching these woke virtue-signalers, who never stop patting themselves on the back about being open minded, inclusive, and pro-diversity...go completely berserk at the thought that another point of view can have their voice heard.

When one is confident and secure in their beliefs, one doesn't give a frog's fat azz if another point of view is shared. This kind of fascist censorship is only embraced by those who know their beliefs are flimsy, and therefore can't defend them to challenges, and thus want all challenging ideas silenced.

(1) were they calling Musk a racist, or no, when they said he misses apartheid?

(2) what do you think NBC meant, when they said he can't be trusted with our daughters?

(3) who is the GOP denying free speech to?

I was totally consistent on some issue, you said I wanted to have it both ways. Here you're calling me a hypocrite, but you won't point to the hypocrisy. You're saying I made up that NBC called Musk s racist when they said he misses apartheid.

You're coming completely un-glued.

no you made up he was called

Jim your logic is flawed that one story from that who knows what Site https://therayfield.com/

they Played you like a fiddle ! they feed you just what you wanted to believe

Jim if I said "I can't trust musk as far as i could throw him.

your brain would claim I was Fat shaming Musk !

and as for your Msnbc anchor whom I have never heard of apartheid reference was to musk being from south africa and went on to say Reid argued that Musk’s plan to dial back Twitter’s strict content moderation policies to protect freedom of speech would lead to more abuse on the platform – citing the potential rise of anti-Semitism and misogyny.

I know theres no investigation of racial issues in his Company's


or is this what has you upset

Reid also slammed excitement among conservatives following Musk’s acquisition of the company. “They want to come in and be able to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and then not have anyone be able to stop them,” she added. “The enjoyment they get out of being in this ‘town square’ is being able to harass people, being able to attack people.”



PS Musk actually used the term pedo.. and got sued

I wouldn't trust him with my daughters is so far from accusing him of being actually PEDO more about just generally un trustworthy person .. but you are on the Q and GOP pedo train and of course you think it meant he was calling Musk a pedophile/rapist


you also thought Biden was going to used chemicals weapons and still insist thats what he meant..

wayne -

1. you’ve never heard of joy reid? come on.

2. i asked you what they meant about not trusting musk wrong daughters, if it wasn’t a rapist reference. you won’t answer.

3. you’re lying. i never said i thought biden would use chemical
weapons.

what i said, and i’m verifiably correct, is that biden said we’d respond “in kind” if russia used chemical weapons.

All i did, was point out what Biden said.

As always, yiu can’t respond to what i’m
saying, and you can’t ever admit i have a point, so you respond to something i never came close to saying.

you do it constantly.

2. i asked you what they meant about not trusting musk wrong daughters, if it wasn’t a rapist reference. you won’t answer.

Jim you seem to not follow "if you twisted those comments to suggested he's a sexual predator .." can i be any clearer so I will say No the reference was about trust.. but your on the GOP pedo wagon

3. you’re lying. i never said i thought biden would use chemical

no you didnt you made it up i’d be happy imagining him on tv and not slipping with some insane gaffe,,like saying putin can’t stay in power or saying that the US will use chemical weapons if russia does your words not Bidens

or I know we'd never use chemical weapons. But he said we would. no he didn't



So you claim you understand the meaning of in Kind but hear Musk is a rapist when you I wouldn't trust him with my daughters

you hear what fits your bitch of the day

Jim your problem is you insert meaning and intent where no such meaning or intent was ... you read in to statements and make UP your own meanings to those statements

if a Dem say something you take it literary 100% of time

If a Rep says something you take or claim is hyperbole 100% of the tim
