Elon Musk says he's shocked at the level of Tesla hate and vandalism happening: 'I've never done anything harmful'
Elon Musk said the Tesla vandalism shocked him, adding that neither he nor his company have done "anything harmful."
Summary
Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.
He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.
Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks "domestic terrorism," vowing arrests.
Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a "peaceful company," saying "I've never done anything harmful."
"iVe nEver dOnE aNytHiNg hArMFuL"
Which is more pathetic. The idea that he really thinks he is a good person or the idea that he can tell a lie like that and someone might believe him who isn't just as pathetic as him?
As ridiculous as it is with him, noone is a villain in their own story.
Elmo and VonShitznpants.....
"I'm not bad. I just tell people to do bad things and they do it. Why are you mad at me?"
I know this guy is a bit autistic, but he can't be that dumb.
Who cares if he’s autistic?? I only know 2 autistic people. They are the gentlest people I know. They are the least likely to display a Nazi salute, they don’t assume control of governments, and they aren’t involved in cutting off people’s much needed funding. I’m so tired of hearing “Elon" and “autistic" in the same breath. If conservatives really believe the shit he does should be excused because he’s “autistic”, then he isn’t competent FULL STOP
His autism is self diagnosed. He's not autistic, he's just a lying piece of shit.
to clarify, one can absolutely determine themselves to have autism, but the reason most people go that route is because they can't afford or haven't got access to resources for an official diagnosis....
...of which he has plenty. he's not autistic; he's a sociopathic piece of shit who thinks branding himself as autistic will earn him sympathy points, like keeping a child wrapped around his shoulders will keep him from being luigi'd.
he's not even autistic, just a sociopathic nepo baby piece of shit
I can believe that.
“I was just giving orders.”
The rich deserve daisies.
Homeless go home
I specifically remember the bud light and trans controversy where they were boycotting bud light. Elon seemed to support that. Now that people are trading in their teslas and boycotting all of a sudden it’s not good.
Well yeah he isn't pro trans. It's moral consistency /s
"I am just a poor smol bean uwu nazi"
"i made me and my businesses political, and im shocked to find there are political ramifications of this!
"I made me and my businesses vaguely political in one direction then went all the way into the other direction very explicitly and I don't get why my former customers are pissed"
His ex-wife and several of his children claim otherwise.
Ever since I read his first wife's article I've disliked him. These days it's mild compared to everything else, but back when he was popular… also it's just such personal scumbag behavior
Homie looked at Greek mythology and took it as a guidebook. Total asshole, check. Shitty to your innumerable children with many different women, check.
Elon, the Nazi snowflake
Those two words are the same thing. Like The Los Angeles Angels.
Elon Musk is 3 beers away from cornering his most attractive niece at Thanksgiving and lecturing her for 38 minutes about how Lincoln started the "War of Northern Aggression."
Tesla, famous for using fairly mined lithium, not abusing migrants on work visas and encouraging unionization.
Elon Musk: "Hitler didn't kill millions of people."
I'm surprised that people didn't start hating on him earlier
fires thousands of people in violation of the law why do you hate me???
I'm just trying to be a Nazi dictator and everyone hates on me 😭
I'm shocked at the number of open Nazis in American "leadership". And the number of unelected "officials" tearing up our government from the inside.
I wonder if he actually beleives that
I don’t think he believes in anything beyond accumulating as much wealth as possible at whatever cost.
Ya know... I could see him thinking all his bad jokes, and online antics don't hurt anyone (not true) but the dude is decimating the federal workforce, he can't honestly believe he hasn't done anything to garner that hate. That's people's livelihoods.
Hope he doesn't want us to feel empathy for him because according to him that is a bug and weakness.
you routinely go on social media and cheerlead for butchers committing genocide in ukraine and gaza, amongst other things.
terminal affluenza. doesnt understand that actions have consequences.
One would think the world's richest man could afford a mirror....
The worst part is, he probably fucking believes that.
That's how out of touch he is
He knows that his actions have killed people. He knew that he was cutting USAIDand he knows now that people have died because of those loss of services. That's not a secret. And by now he knows that some people have been cut off from social security because they were declared dead when they're still alive, which again is harming people.
Of course he might say that those changes were necessary or reasonable or accidental. But whatever the explanation, he knows that his actions have harmed people.
And if you'd like to take a different look at it, just think about how he's described damage to the economy. He has openly said that he thinks the economy is going to get worse before it gets better, because of the changes that he and Trump have enacted. Here again, you can make an argument that he believes in the long run things will be better than they were in the past. I don't think that's true, but even if you do, it's still openly acknowledging that he made things worse for many in the short term.
Can't remember where I heard it but someone posited this to me and it stuck: Nobody ever does anything they believe is wrong.
If you take that at face value then how you explain evil is that a person has justified to themselves that death, suffering, pain, and unhappiness are all balanced against what they believe is the right way things should be. I can't imagine being in a ecosystem of people where the things I believe start justifying the way these people behave. But, I'm not a billionaire. Or religious.
I feel like that quote is easily wrong. Hell, I've done things I know are wrong (on small, minor things, like leaving work 15 minutes early and not taking leave or calling in sick when I'm not, because fuck it).
Then again, I guess I don't think it's entirely wrong, either. Because yeah, there are lots of people who truly believe their unethical/immoral actions are in the right. But I also think those people are often victims of indoctrination and/or they are sociopaths.
His existence is harmful. I feel that I need to defend myself against him at all times, since him just existing is akin to assault and battery.
Get fucked you Hitler saluting fascist.
The paranoid part of my brain sees things like this as an attempt to piss people off enough to kick off some violent attacks, and give Trump the justification he wants to enact martial law.
Oh yes, so innocent. 🙄
Holy shit, I actually laughed out loud at this. "Never done anything harmful", lmfao. Get the fuck outta here.
Even good people do harmful things sometimes, he doesn't even say he's good, he says he's a perfect saint, jfc
Narcissist talk
This is coming from the guy who literately waved a fucking chainsaw up at CPAC.
He’s a sociopath, and like a good sociopath, he’s trying to elicit empathy in others for personal gain. He’s even said empathy is a weakness of Western civilization that can be exploited, and that’s exactly what these crocodile tears are designed to do. He’s even has an army of PR people he normally would ignore if his Tesla stock wasn’t tanking.
Yep. Fuck this fucking fucker.
Though I think it is important to add that he has also illegally broken into many different government organizations without access or permission. Causing them to be unable to do their job serving the American public. He's hurt thousands if not millions of people already.
Apparently, he is not as smart as we were led to believe.
From the guy who literally said "Hitler didn't harm anyone"
Then we know what his standard is: he means he's no more harmful than Hitler.
Well, he didn't physically cut anyone on stage with it... /s
You don't get to be the richest man in the world without crushing those under you. Fucking liar.
Let alone destroying the majority of the us government
He's an actual sociopath
I'm not being hyperbolic, he's an actual clinically sociopathic person, of course he thinks he hasn't done harm.
Clinically psychopathic. Sociopathy is the result.
The distinction is important because neurotypical people can be raised to behave in ways that are sociopathic, both directly and indirectly. Most of the ultra wealthy who are born into wealth for example explain away the harms their lives cause others. But they still feel and express empathy in many aspects of their lives
But Musk seems genuinely like he has no genuine empathy, and like he has no comprehension of how to be a moral actor in the world. Trump is the same.
Being reasonable intelligent and born into privilege in the world that rewards sociopathy through the market system... psychopaths seem to disproportionately find themselves in positions of power. It's perverse.
he said. "We've never done anything harmful."
He's personally seen to the loss of tens of thousands (hundreds now perhaps) of jobs has no signs of stopping, stopping nutritional aid to those that need it most, and has even made comments about going after Social Security which serves our societies most vulnerable. Elon, how on Earth are you so clueless to see that all this hate is directly from your actions.
I'd even argue people may not have cared for Tesla, but the fact that Musk directly benefits monetarily makes Tesla a target.
A perfect example: Musk also was partial creator of Paypal even though he sold his interest in it a long time ago and has no association with it now. While lots of folks don't like Paypal for a number of reasons, I don't hear one peep of people ditching paypal because Musk had a hand in its creation.
Dude literally harassed and tried to ruin the life of a guy who saved a bunch of trapped kids in a cave. Never did anything harmful my ass.
Elon, how on Earth are you so clueless to see that all this hate is directly from your actions.
Such is life when you are empathy free...
And, likely, a sociopath to boot.
🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🙄 🖕 🖕
Listened to a bit of a recent Joe Rogan visit he had. He plays it like the attacks are coming from the deep state hidden in bureaucracy as if those programs had no positive impact on people's lives
Meanwhile this man is literally the deep state within the bureaucracy right now.
"I've never done anything harmful"
Haha, good one, Musk. Trolls gonna troll. Now fuck off back under your bridge, you nepo-baby scumbag.
Sorry Musk! I heard empathy is weakness!
I support the current thing.
Fuck you Muskcovite.
I mean, forget the dismantling of the United States of America. Even without that, he sued into oblivion and made it untenable wherever possible to even get recompense from Tesla after the cars self-crashed or self-destructed. Musk is a walking, talking pile of shit harming everyone wherever he can. He made a person saving miners out to be a pedophile. He names his fucking kid an unpronounceable series of letters and numbers. This man is a fucking shouldabeenabort plaguing the whole world.
And he's a deadbeat dad.
If you dont consider hacking a government to pieces harmful.... Idk what to tell you. Even hacking a regime to pieces will hurt people. You can't move fast and break things with governments and people's lives.
Not harmful for him or his fellow billionaires...
He's moved them all closer to the chopping block.
His intention wasn't that, but to just enrich himself and his fellows even more.
LIE
Is he seriously thinking that people might have empathy for him if he says that?
No it's just fake for the MAGA who are still fully delusional according to the conservative subreddit
The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy [for the rich.]
Hate Musk all you want, leave the Tesla cars and stations alone. Anti fascists doing fascist things. The irony of it all is beyond amusing.
Fuck this POS!
Elon reciting the first line of The Narcissist’s Prayer.
"If you ignore the staggering amount of human misery that I am directly and indirectly responsible for, and all the absolutely appalling things I advocate for, I've never done anything harmful."
Just another Conservative Victim™️.
Poor man meets rich man and they look at each other. Says the poor man, were I not poor, you'd not be rich!
- Berthold Brecht
Boycott them all.
Damn near everything he does is harmful.
Social murder is murder, plaster-faced bitch.
Yeah, it's a conspiracy fuck-face. It's not like people are openly saying you suck, you're a leech, we're going to boycott the companies you're involved with and you're not wanted here. It's all a secret conspiracy. Pay no attention to the signs at very public protests.
People like him do harmful things and act like they're the most important people on Earth, but when the boomerang comes right back at them, they crawl around and cry that they did nothing wrong. PATHETIC.
I'm honestly curious what kind of bubble this guy lives in. Who the fuck does he talk to on a regular basis?
It might be a lot of yes men, and people who feed his ego. His personality could be just to cut out anyone who has any level of differing opinions. Maybe he actually believes this shit he says. Who the fuck knows.
Here is a good glimpse of what he is surrounded by. Yes men who just laugh and agree with everything he says.
elon musk doenst have a functional penis.
How do you know, have you checked? xD
Most of his children have been IVF or by surrogates
I don't know which is scarier: Musk lying about this, or actually being so self-unaware he really doesn't know what an enormous shitbag he is.
So I've tried it a couple times now, with varying degrees of success, but I want to write a paper which takes a lifecycle approach to excess deaths by industry. My goal was to come up with a deaths/ billion estimate, to figure out a quantity of wealth after which we could decide, the person holding that wealth has effectively committed murder; then we buffer it by 10x to account for the fuzziness of the math, and we set that as the global maximum wealth cap.
Its practically impossible to believe that any industry results in 0 deaths per billion. However, when I did the first couple intial forrays into the research, its very dificult to pin down exaclty which is the source industry for a given death (for example, fossil fuels contribute massively to peoples deaths. But so does tobacco. Electric vehicles dont have tail pipe emissions, but might use fossil fuels in their construction, etc.. etc..)
Here is some summary output from that.
To compare the estimated premature deaths per billion dollars of profit between tech companies and a fossil fuel extraction company, we'll examine ExxonMobil as a representative example. ExxonMobil's Annual Profit: In 2024, ExxonMobil reported a net income of $33.7 billion. investor.exxonmobil.com Estimating Premature Deaths Due to Fossil Fuel Emissions: A study by Vohra et al. (2021) estimated that fossil fuel combustion-related fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) pollution was responsible for approximately 10.2 million premature deaths globally in 2012. investor.exxonmobil.com Calculating Premature Deaths per Billion Dollars of Profit: To estimate the number of premature deaths attributable to ExxonMobil's operations per billion dollars of profit, we can use the following approach: Global Fossil Fuel CO₂ Emissions: Approximately 35 billion metric tons annually. ExxonMobil's Contribution: ExxonMobil's operations contribute to a portion of these emissions. While exact figures vary, estimates suggest that ExxonMobil's products account for about 1.3 billion metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, representing approximately 3.7% of global fossil fuel CO₂ emissions. Attributable Premature Deaths: Applying this percentage to the global premature deaths: 10,200,000 deaths×0.037≈377,400 deaths 10,200,000deaths×0.037≈377,400deaths Deaths per Billion Dollars of Profit: 377,400 deaths33.7 billion USD≈11,200 deaths per billion USD 33.7billion USD377,400deaths≈11,200deaths per billion USD Comparison with Tech Companies: Previously, we estimated the number of premature deaths per billion dollars of profit for tech companies, assuming their energy consumption was entirely sourced from fossil fuels: Samsung: Approximately 1,004 deaths per billion USD Google (Alphabet): Approximately 153 deaths per billion USD Microsoft: Approximately 209 deaths per billion USD Conclusion: If we attribute a proportional share of global premature deaths from fossil fuel emissions to ExxonMobil based on its contribution to global CO₂ emissions, the company is associated with approximately 11,200 premature deaths per billion dollars of profit. This figure is significantly higher than the estimates for tech companies, reflecting the direct role of fossil fuel extraction and production in contributing to air pollution and associated health impacts.Bitch, you ain't seen nothing yet.
I will literally throw a party when he dies.
Ayo Elon suck my man musk and use your tears as lube
He intends to slash social security.
How can we respect their lifes if they don't respect ours?
Fuck his feelings. I’ll take a front row seat when they shove him into the guillotine.
I am sick and tired of headlines sanewashing this fascist fuck by cutting off the end of that quote.
Can't wait to see his reaction when robotaxis will get Wile E. Coyoted.
This guy just operates on pure doublespeak.
Eventually, people do notice.
I’ve never done anything wrong either, but it would be an absolute honour to choke the life out of the African fascist Nazi.
Fuck Musk! May he get the most painful incurable type of cancer there is on this planet.
I wish him nothing but sorrow, suffering and pain for him.
Yeah yeah, totally only leftwing folks that hate his guts /s
