I'm getting paid. Not with money, but pure schadenfreude.
I hope some of these investors tell him why he's getting such hate. Maybe he'll listen to them.
So Elon is just mad that he can't afford to hire protesters?
Pretty crazy how the richest man alive can't out pay the protestors current employers. So even in his narrative, he still ain't paying people.for.shit
If there's nothing wrong with paying out millions of dollars for votes, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with paying for protests, either. Have your cake, and shut the fuck up while we force feed it to you, too.
Who the fuck is paying them? hes the in with the crowd who hoarded all the money
Are these day gigs or are these kind of jobs something i need a resume for?
He believes his own lies? Not that surprising really.
He still can't understand that people actually hate him.
sore loser.
Maybe Elon is jealous that these "workers" were able to go home and sleep in their own beds at night. Unlike Elon, who apparently sucks so much at his job that he has to sleep in the office on the floor.
I can get paid to tel Elmo henvan gonfuxk himself?
Why did nobody tell me?
Great photo, he looks like a frog
Man's so insulated from the working class he doesn't know how money works for real people.
Time to wake up, Mister Musk! Wake up and smell the coffee!
This is how much sympathy I have for you Felon Muskrat
Still too large of a violin.
Paid protestors, eh? I heard he was paying them to not protest and this is how much they hate him.
I heard that he offered them a million billion dollars and that they still refused because he sucks so much.
I dream of musk reduced to working at a cell phone accessory kiosk in a forgotten mall, peddling glittering iPhone cases and rambling about how he made comedy legal again.
