For most people work is hard and retirement age is something you hope to reach alive and be able to have some leisure time. It’s not an idle pass time of someone with more money than sense who doesn’t have to worry whether they’ll be able to afford eat when they retire.
Are people forced to retire in France? Like if you wanna work and you qualify for your benefits, you can’t have both? Plenty of people in the US collect their SS and still work. Plenty do it because they have to, btw
Well, I mean you can always ask the French for tips on what to do about such people. They might even be able to lend you something from a museum to help.
The thing is we could all be living wonderful lives with leisure and security but this asshole narcissistic psychopath thinks he’s playing a global video game and winning is existential to him and winning for him means everyone else must lose. And fuck his mother too.

Retirement ages are increasing across Europe. France is the holdout here, which is fine, but does raise the question of how they'll pay for it. But that's a question for the French, not Elon Musk.
If Musk had ever actually done a day’s work in his life he would understand why people want to retire and enjoy their existence outside of a workplace.
I'd actually argue he's correct here. Probably not for the reasons he thinks though.
France's pension model does not work anymore and desperately needs reform. The French government has been trying to fix this, including by raising the retirement age, for years now
Would you like chocolate or vanilla cake? 😂😂 can we forward to end of this movie, because we all know how this ends 😂😂, throughout history in every country & never in a good way for the people serving the Cake. It’s just funny we as a species doing it all over again 😂
His delusional obsession with trying to run every country is a affront to those who don’t want him interfering 😡arrest and deport or alternatively give him a ketamine “treatment “ that’ll send him into space
Musk and Trump think they are rulers of the world
They both need to go
Musk takes his kids along thinking people won't confront him when he had his kids with him
That is grotesque
Hide behind his kids
He wants to run everything
Interesting fact: in France the more children a woman has, the lower her retirement age.
You’d think someone engaged in competitive reproduction would appreciate that.
It would be nice to be so rich that your opinion of any issue is somehow "news". On the other hand, isn't the retirement age in France, the business of the French?
The bonus punchline is that I bought eggs this morning and they certainly were not cheaper. At my local store eggs are currently about 4x more expensive than I remember them being at the start of 2024.
Over 600 people have signed this petition to revoke Elon Musk's American citizenship. This goes through the court system, which is all we have left right now. This is the 1st step, the 2nd will be calling for his arrest and deportation.

Ever go to France? Despite the better working conditions and lower retirement age etc everything works fine. It’s a nice, beautiful place. And the French are wonderful people. Standing up for yourself and having pride in your culture isn’t snobbish laziness. It’s courage.
Indeed mate, I've met a few French people here in Australia & they have always left a good impression on me. Plus I find the French language to be very beautiful and I love listening to French music. I would love to go to France at some point to get a real sense of the country, culture & the people
I was watching TCM this morning and they were talking about how Howard Hughes bought a movie studio as a vanity project and ran it into the ground. Reminds me of someone 🤔
And bottom line. He thinks way too highly of himself. As in, who does he think he is? His opinion is and should be worthless. As my opinion is. An opinion of a civilian that knows nothing about the politics of another nation. What makes him think another culture would want to follow him?
What the Ketaminer has to do is to STFU about other countries. Why don't he come up with a plan to end world hunger instead? His thing is just throwing shit in the fan
France has the same full benefits retirement age as the US:67.
Early retirement used to be 60, then went to 62, and now 64.
So, based on early retirement, we actually retire later than the US.
Dumb Musk.
When did work become the total sum experience in a person’s life. Is it still left over from the Puritans. Or is it that the oligarchs want more and more and more and will never be satisfied
No, she didn't. Leave Marie out of this, she was a trafficked child-bride who got executed for political convenience by the revolutionary government *after* the revolutionary judiciary gave her clemency--for being a trafficked child-bride. History is fun!
Wow was totally not trying to get someone upset who didn’t see the correlation between “let them eat cake” and Elon’s comment. Also I do know she was a trafficked child bride as so many girls in royal families were. Not to mention the incest to keep the lines “pure”
Sic Semper Tyrannis is on the Commonwealth of Virginia’s flag for a reason. These idiots don’t realize that Americans will rise up in fury when they finally experience real tyranny.
The rich on average live seven years longer than blue-collar folks. Then their retirement age should be seven years higher than blue-collar folks correct?
They just raised it from 62 to 64 in 2023, which caused for large protests. The expected life span in France is 82, with a requirement of 40 years of working. They're already asking for 2/3 of their life, Elon Himmler.
All European countries have better working laws than the US, that could include a shorter working week, longer yearly vacations, earlier retirement, etc. The oligarchs consider this unacceptable because they want to "degrease" these rights, part of the social contract, to have more for the rich.
The thing is - most of us have time to filter our thoughts in the time it takes to write them down. He must speak some absolute garbage in conversations.
Yet, old cliché but, a broken clock is right twice a day. Macron (and the rest of the EU outside of France) agree with Musk on this issue. NL, Germany, Ireland, etc all retire 5 years later than the average François et Marie- Claire en Provence
Who is he to even say this? The French people own their government. Their government does their best to enact the will of the people.
Musk tries to treat all workers like they're his serfs or slaves.
The Left coalition that won in France wants to continue to implement policies including:
-Raising the minimum wage
-Lowering the retirement age
-Building 1 million affordable homes
-Slowing the price of basic needs: food and energy
-Investing in infrastructure and more.
Retirement age is too high in the USA, and the government puts too many restrictions on use of paid-in funds like Social Security & Medicare, all because billionaires don't pay their fair share.
Eff this a$$hat, retirement age for all intents and purposes is 67 in France if you want full benefits. It’s also 42 years of working life that’s counted, in the US you can get away w 25 or less. Ignorance is how he got to where he is. 🤬
And...The problem in Britain is that people earning £5,000 per hour have convinced people earning £15 per hour that people earning £9.17 per hour are the problem.
He doesn't dictate that so he should mind his own p's & q's. I think retirement should be afforded to everyone as dignity is, and being treated like a human being instead of a worn out piece of machinery.

He hates he can’t abuse workers there.

DO SOME LABOR before you rip on humans not working enough.
WHAT business is it of ELON’s how MUCH or HOW little the French people work.
Why?
(They still do guillotines?)
You might need to sharpen the blade, though.

Can't wait to see him go to jail.
He's a Nazi, his opinion is irrelevant.

I guess X won't be as popular in France anymore.

The nerve of the slave class.

Dumb Musk.
Elon: Oh, I'm going the other way. I'm taking away people's food, taking away their jobs, and taking away any services beneficial to society.

None of which are worth listening to.

Than there's Elon's view:
But NepoElon sees himself as the king of the worlds plantations
everyday people are nothing more than modern slaves and widgets to him.
