    It’s not about owning jets, it’s about using the one she has for 13 minute fucking flights while preaching about climate change. If musk pulled the same kinda shit, he’d be mocked for it too, among other things he deserves to be mocked for.

    Edit: also, you’ve had 2 chances to spell hating correctly and failed both times.

      Do you think Musk is not doing similar things? We have a politician that flew to Sylt (island in Germany) with his private jet for a fucking wedding of another politician and he didnt get half as much shit for it.

      What Im saying is: hate everyone equally or dont hate.

      I don’t like Taylor Swifts behaviour anymore then you. But clearly someone was out for her and not for poor Elon. Where are the fucking memes about literally every rich person? Jeff Bezos disgustingly big yacht for example?

      And if it really was about her double standards: Elon pretends to be an environmentalist whenever he talks about Tesla and electric cars. Yet his factories get build in the middle of water protection zones, a Tesla is shot into space and do you really think hes not using those 3 jets on a regular basis? Why have 3 after all?

      Regarding your edit: maybe I’ve wasted my time writing this because clearly you’re not up for an actual discussion, but for sad and petty schoolyard behaviour.

        I do hate EVERY billionaire and politician destroying the environment doing stupid wasteful things, elon musk can absolutely go eat shit, i’m not defending him. it’s just that I think people are trying to give her a free pass specifically due to her political views more than anything else and that everyone, regardless of their opinions on anything should be held accountable for their actions. As for my edit, I just like being a petty asshole to people I don’t agree with. I’m not even a native speaker, i’ve probaby made like 4 mistakes in this paragraph alone.

      Musk does the same shit, but he’s detestable for so much more. Swift seems like just another popular musician, not a lot to hate there. The legal threats against the guy who tracks private jets are the most negative thing I’ve heard about her in ages.

      Yes, it is funny how more people are not calling out the Electric Car Jesus for swooping around in private jets and single-handedly undoing any positive effect his customers can have…

          I think he bought Twitter to turn it into a right wing cesspool. The “oops now I have to buy it oh nooo” was just a cover.
