It’s actually the privilege of massively grotesque wealth. He’s as close to without consequence as a man can get. He for all practical purposes bought a political party that gave him a country. Let’s hope his hubris and ego are his undoing.
Hear me out? As a black man and Rams fan (same division) Kap was in decline. He was already benched and after would successfully set up a multi team scouting workout just to scuttle it last minute. Mike Vick got a second chance. Police suck but so did Kap (on field) great advocate bad QB 🤷🏿♂️
Felons especially with 34 convictions go to prison especially if you’re black or brown, Trunp was elected for the highest office it the land. White Privilege supreme . That makes no sense, I feel I’m the Twilight Zone.
If you ever want to see a show abt white privilege watch Californication. Main character basically ducks around all day and writes a best selling memoir abt white angst. Etc etc
We, the people, promise it's been noticed and his grave is ready!!! It's what he gets for his investment into attempting to ruin people's lives in AMERICA!! ATTEMPT OVER!!!😡
Wokeness for the white privilege is the new normal ... hey, who cares about free speech and the right to peaceful protest when you can defecate in federal buildings while on a tour ... this country is upside down ... smh
The whole lie depends upon Fox News and other apparatus like that to bend and transform reality to fit the narrative. Nightmareishly our mainstream media becomes more Soviet like.
I disagree. It is class privilege. If I throw that arm up, I pay a hefty price no matter how white I am, but I don’t have a billion billion dollars. It is the billion billion dollars that makes the difference.
That's also how rich guys white or black have raped and not gone to jail or have taken decades to be brought to justice.

I fully expect Tesla will get government contracts for millions of vehicles. The DODGY director will know about this in advance, allowing him to buy up Tesla shares at bargain prices before the contracts are announced.
I disagree. Tesla stock is burning now, Starlink is losing clients, US is losing credibility and Elon is among most hated people around the globe in democratic countries. If the backlash is not that big in US is doesnt mean that it is not big in other parts of the world.
US ≠ world.
The backlash is big in the US. Tesla is tanking here as well, and plenty of people who bought Teslas previously are selling them. I’ve also recently seen some hilarious videos of the Cybertruck’s many design flaws that make them barely usable.
Is it? Is almost every politician, comentator, newspaper, blogger, youtuber, etc. saying that Elon is an idiot (cause he is)? I doubt so but here in Europe like 80%+ are doing that. US got to the same levels of trust as Russia.
I’m referring more to public perception and what I see in my own city, although there’s plenty of hate directed at him online as well. But I don’t spend time on conservative media, so I don’t know what the conservative take on him is here.
White privilege, yes. But also a prime indicator of our values. Americans are taught to worship wealth. It’s part of our advertising compact (check the fine print on your birth certificate). The culture demands a belief rich people are smart. Some are. Like ‘genius’ Musk, most are soulless idiots.
Eyes are batting. He’s being called out for it. His stock is tanking. His spaceships are blowing up. His cars are being boycotted. Tesla dealerships are dealing with the people’s anger.
Look just because in the 47th Oblast he gets special protection and the Nazi party of America give him power doesn't mean the great of the World puts up with his shit, Germans aren't buying his crapmobiles and in France they're showing you dim yanks how it should be done & burning Tesla dealers down

I think part of the issue is how a lot of the right wing rushed to tell us it was just an "awkward gesture", or a "Roman Salute". Where those same people would speed rush to the microphone to call George Floyd a criminal and drug addict, or declare Kaepernick as being disrespectful to the military
It’s always been about the color of his skin. White racist freely gave their opinions, but overlooked the endless demonstrations by KKK , white nationalists and evangelicals. Only difference Kapernik had a good reason and didn’t display hatred
"White Privilege" is a recently invented phrase. "Black Privilege" could also be used to describe employment and hiring processes that discriminate against other groups.
Hate to reason on your parade but nobody set fire to Colin's car. Pretty sure his stock portfolio didn't drop by 50% either. To say nobody batted an eye is plainly untrue.
Lets be honest, Colin's career was over before he took a knee. He was benched at the time, his record which you can look up was atrocious, he was unreliable as a QB, and most importantly, the NFL gets paid by the govt for displays of patriotism, a rule which he broke. You can choose
to not partrcipate in such displays, but you signed a contract to stay in the lockerroom in that case, so that was kind of a huge thing no one talks about.
I imagine those who admired Elon's Nazi salute would call themselves Aryans, if they could spell the word. The ones who crashed Colin Kaepernick's career played to that audience.
The right wing comments about kneeling never made sense. One, it's a FOOTBALL game. Two, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. Three, worship of a flag/anthem is STUPID. It was a peaceful protest that was meant to get people thinking about the fact that black people are still oppressed.
This shows how artists can make huge impacts on others. For each part of his design, the French artist gave people something to think about. Breaking the chains of Slavery was a brilliant symbolism.
The NFL gets paid by the govt for displays of patriotism, a rule which he broke. You can choose to not partrcipate in such displays, but you signed a contract to stay in the lockerroom in that case, so that was kind of a huge thing no one talks about.
Are you a maga troll? You keep saying this like it’s a reasonable thing to sign a contract and then sign away your right to freedom of expression. It’s not, and whatever his athletic performance, it was a very meaningful gesture that meant a lot to a lot of people and inspired.
I am not, and like I said, I support his right to peaceful protest, the problem is that it did break contracts that they have, nothing i said was untrue, that's how you know I'm not MAGA, because all they do is lie.
It appears you are half right, Jonathan. The NFL used to be paid by the DoD. They no longer do so. The NFL DID enact a rule in 2018 for players who dissent to acts of patriotism (i.e. kneeling) to stay in the locker room. However, there is some research that states this rule is very illegal.
Thank you. I am ever curious, but try to maintain objectivity for all our sake ;) My love of humanity outweighs my need to be right, except where justice is concerned <3
A Harvard Law Prof wrote a paper on how the legality likely wouldn't stand up in court. The prof said that the rule wasn't presented to the union, kneeling is a place of workplace protest, and the free speech case is strong. This is a rule that should've been legally challenged.
Exactly. They screamed about "disrespecting our military" as if it had anything to do with that. But they don't mind being called "suckers and losers."
Not parenting and having 14 children by 4 woman?! Could you imagine if this was a black man?! I mean the fact that they put down other religions for allowing multiple wives but they can make children & abandon them is white privilege, having felonies and raping being ok white privilege etc etc
🎯 and so much worse - one takes a knee for the oppressed in hopes of helping the less fortunate; the other is specifically promoting hate, racism and bigotry towards all non-white men. 🤦♀️
When olympians raised a fist for Black power & Colin took a knee they were making a statement. They were chastised. Musk can make a Nazi salute without reprecussion
While I’d like to think that not just any white Joe Shmoe could pull it off, without if not billions, but a LOT of wealth behind him, I’m really not sure anymore.
No. Not white privilege. Money privilege. Tons of money. And ownership of our internet and social media. He (momentarily) is holding a lot of people/countries by the cojones under the “stupid” (pardon my French) and fallacious idea that private business interests were so much better for all
Part of cap’s job is the pomp before the game. Also keeping the fans that paid hundreds of dollars to attend happy. They were not happy having him disrespect our country and our flag

Musk, Trump and the Republicans are a law-breaking rogue government waging illegal war on the American people, Canada, Mexico,NATO, other nations and Democracy, let's wage war back..
I tend to disagree, you assume many people recognize the knee bending as a symbol of not supporting America and the raised flat hand salute as Nazi support, i dont know. The squatter prefers not to worship an idol and the hand raiser may be keeping the light of reality from his eyes.
And being richest person in the world. From my perspective, money should not make you immune from folks canceling you. Unfortunately, for far too many in our society, they'll do anything for money. So sad.
Yes, we relish the ability to act like nazis... stop spreading more racial division at a time when we can least afford to be divided. Fighting racism with racism hasn't worked yet.

White privilege exists, but ain't it.
And lets be honest, Tesla is crumbling because of his actions. We're responding but its not instant because of how much power he wields.
It's a lot harder for us to depose the wealthiest man on the planet.
Eccentric? Become a billionaire. It’s almost expected.
Elmo has unfortunately gone three clicks past eccentric and landed on full rrrrrrrright wing; karma will be his judge.
As heard on SNL this weekend, Elmo really has chosen to become White Kanye.

This “Roman” salute helped me identify the nazis in my life and remove them.
Colin Kaepernick was eminently more qualified to do his job, then Elon Musk is to do any job.
Europe is trashing Tesla and he's lost $ billions!

Musk receives federal contracts.

White privilege means safety and security no matter one says or does.
And in this, White privilege is powerful and is power.
