this is the stupidest fucking way to criticize elon musk holy SHIT

Reposted from Dean Obeidallah

GREAT: Dem. Rep Kaptur questions Musk’s loyalty: "I always ask myself the question: with the damage he's doing here when push comes to shove, which country is he loyal to? South Africa, Canada, or United States?" Musk is not an American! Glad I was quoted in article: www.newsweek.com/democrat-que...

I feel like with these guys if you just say the things they’ve done aloud, you sound crazy to a lot of mid voters, even when the voters know that what you’re saying is true.

Like everyone remembers the Nazi salute but it’s like most of polite America has just agreed not to talk about it because it just sounds crazy

“Ah, let’s battle this obvious illegal fascist power grab by being xenophobic. That’ll fix it!”

officialjplosman.bsky.social•15 hours ago

In every single way except for his place of birth, elon musk is extremely, painfully american

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•16 hours ago

HOW are you fucking this up. HOW ARE YOU FUCKING THIS UP. Why would you go with "duplicitous immigrant" when "unelected fascist" is there for the taking

Hopping dipshit thief.

(i know the answer is "bc youre racist and beholden to billionaires" but GOD)

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•16 hours ago

HE DID A NAZI SALUTE AT THE INAUGURATION AND HE DOESNT HAVE A SECURITY CLEARANCE LIKE THIS SHIT IS EASY

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•16 hours ago

also you think he's beholden to... south africa? in 2025? the pro palestinian state that abolished apartheid? that south africa?

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I feel like you guys going "yeah they should say it about russia and china" are kind of missing the point idk

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•15 hours ago

it's bad because he's not beholden to anyone on earth bc he is the richest person in the world....

fiftyburger.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Seems kinda like he is so powerful he needn’t be loyal to *any* country, not that he’s secretly loyal to another country.

I do think lack of loyalty to the US is a valid critique of a high official in the government. No need to smear immigrants generally though.

“Elon Musk doesn’t have your best interests at heart because he wasn’t born in America” ???

How about “He’s the world’s richest man yet he’s deeply insecure so the only person he cares about is himself and the only things he cares about are money, power, and impressing extremely online racists.”

Democrats and Republicans all seem to think Americans are a craven and evil people, and I must say - I disagree!!!!

y2kshay.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Also: Canada?!

tveite.bsky.social•15 hours ago

he thinks he bought the country! he thinks it belongs to him! this is something that should be unpopular without playing on our most base paranoias!

nevermindnomind.bsky.social•15 hours ago

If you wanna attack along these lines the obvious thing is Musk's deep business interests in China. You know, the largest car market Tesla is selling in, has factories in etc. Remember when TikTok was so dangerous cause of its Chinese ties and the CCP*could* influence them? How is musk not the same?

tmo64.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Is xenophobia the only way they understand if something is a threat? Do they not get that some people don't actually give a shit about the nation they have citizenship in and can a self-serving bastard like Musk is?

Washington Generals shit

maaaatttt.bsky.social•16 hours ago

this is astounding, I can’t tell if they are intentionally fucking this up or if they really are this lost

homunculusdick.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Ah yes. Let's try "obamas birth certificate" but wokely.

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•16 hours ago

obama's birth certificate shit originated with the clinton campaign so they know the playbook!

vekzero.bsky.social•16 hours ago

notice the language people. countries are mentioned but not capital.

Love to absolutely own my enemies by validating all of their worst arguments

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•16 hours ago

certainly this wont come back on any of our politicians from other countries who already have death threats made against them on the daily

trashmountain.bsky.social•16 hours ago

We’ve been losing the votes of immigrants, who owe us their votes btw because we’re the good guys. The best way to remedy this is to imply that people from other countries are inherently suspect. This will differentiate us from the bad guys who are racist and xenophobic.

hezzair.bsky.social•11 hours ago

agreed. especially if we are trying to help with immigration smh

justinkcomer.rockhardcauc.us•15 hours ago

yeah he's loyal to canada, that's what's going on

grumpylinguist.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Each reply to that article with “Russia” takes a full minute off my life expectancy.

presidenthellsatan.bsky.social•11 hours ago

There is this weird thing that older democrats like to do where they try and make things into these "great game" foreign intrigue plays. It's a bonkers pathology but they fucking love that shit.

rebear.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I hate that I’m typing this, and I don’t support it, but triggering the right’s racist/nationalist fury might separate Elon from golden boy status. Collateral damage be damned. It’s one thing that would make them fight each other. Goading DJT’s ego into turning on Elon is another.

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•15 hours ago

racist people are gonna vote republican regardless, there is no need to engage in this rhetoric it’s not going to sway anyone
