Americans think the rest of the world envies them instead of laughing at them.
Elon is South African, but other than that your claim is true for many Americans. Their view of the world is extremily twisted and limited at best.
Well I sure don’t, for whatever that’s worth.
Generalizing 350 million people, yay.
Look at the state of the USA and who they voted for. This is fair.
True, however, not all voted for the clown. I’m not talking about the ones who didn’t vote at all, not voting is dumb AF. Also, Kamala wasn’t a great candidate either, helping the reps. But it doesn’t change the fact that us Europeans see the US change into Idiocracy faster than anyone could have imagined. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump soon would sell the drinking water rights to Gatorade. It has electrolytes.
Dear fellow lemmyfriends: underestimate European nationalism, low key racism and stupidity at your own peril. Europeans will not worship at the altar of Musk but they will worship at the altar of whichever local fascist stooge Musk funds.
Fuck you elon don’t you have videogames to lie about your skill level in?
I’m all about making europe great again, but it’s not the way this dumbass wants to do it lmao.
Elon, please change yourself. Into plant food.
One of the disappointments of rednote was learning how many Chinese people bought his “genius engineer progressing humanity” PR horseshit. But they seemed much more understanding when they learned how he treats his kids.
He’s quite popular on lemmy though, there’s not a single day he isn’t on the frontpage
Why does the person calling him unpopular have a blue checkmark?
Not for long I guess :D
Literally no one in Europe thinks “europe is bad” — I’ve never heard anyone in europe say this. Ever.
What could that even mean? European continent is bad? Europeans think in regions and countries not whole-ass continents which are very much arbitrary. Maybe he meant European Union? 0 IQ take.
Wtf? The entire right wing in Europe likes him, for example… -78%… they should ask more people and not all from one political group…
He’s also rigging elections here in Europe and right now he’s backing the AfD.
Musk is a great danger for Europe, especially because of his popularity, otherwise he wouldn’t have any influence with the voters… Talking up this danger that Musk doesn’t exist is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Did you confuse musk with russia?
Nah. You should know Europe’s right wingers mouth shows into one direction and their ass in the other direction. They want get gangbanged and destroyed in sandwich mode.
Nowadays very few people in this side of the pond think Europe is worst than the US, and I’m actually living in a country which is pretty much at the tail of the EU wealthwise and hearing that viewpoint from people who old enough and from humble enough origins to have lived in actual misery when this country was a Fascist shithole. As far as I can tell most people around think that at the moment EU is the safest and most prosperous place to live in the World.
People did use to look up to the US maybe 2 decades ago and before, but then the long-term results of Neoliberal Capitalism started to reveal themselves and shitstains like this guy and Trump got into the scene (gleefully followed by the rest of the Republican party and even the Democrat party leadership) and the perception of the US went from “Prosperous Land Of Opportunity” to “Dangerous and Decaying Country”.
The American Dream has been murdered and people like Musk are just plunging the knife a couple more times into its already cooling down corpse.
As much as we are joking about him, please do NOT underestimate the power that this shit stain has. People underestimated trump twice and twice we ended up with trump presidencies
There are a lot of vaporware brain idiots out there that lap up every word he says
Yeah unfortunately, just look at the polls for e.g. Germany, I’m pretty sure Muskrat had its influence there: https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/
Im pretty sure he doesn’t care, didnt he tell some important EU figure literally to go fuck themselves? He isn’t concerned with the opinions of the EU because they’re globalist homos to him, thats why he’s throwing his support behind AFD, BRUV, and some of these other regarded anti-EU, pro-Russian, pro-kleptocrat groups. to help dismantle the EU for Daddy Vlad
As fascism gains traction and politicians generally speaking lose popularity, someone with as much clout as Elon who tells a ranking EU member to fuck themselves is only going to build their base as a result.
thats why he’s throwing his support behind AFD, BRUV, and some of these other regarded anti-EU, pro-Russian, pro-kleptocrat groups
He’s throwing his weight behind them because (a) he has nothing left to gain from the liberal establishment and (b) these underdogs are far more radical and more pliant, so if they win he’ll reap more concessions than from their liberal opposition.
The desire to put every foul turn in world events on Daddy Vladdy is as much a part of the problem as Elon himself. NATO residents cannot accept that these calls for fascism are coming from inside the house. Elon can’t just be fascist and he can’t be pandering to domestic strains of fascism. They all have to be the consequence of some (comically inept and chronically understaffed) Evil Outsider.
from another post comment somewhere
Make
Elon
Go
Away
now that’s a MEGA I agree with
I also like the former Megaupload.
Make Europe Great Again! Like how it was in 1940!!!
That is what he wants, right? He’s all smoochy smoochie with far right European politicians, he’s already “Hitler wasnt as bad as we think” wink wink…
Maybe he forgot how that great period ended, and what we did with the top level players, back then… Maybe he should be reminded about that?
I mean, obviously he forgot about all the pain and suffering and the millions of deaths, and he definitely doesn’t care about that, but narsismusk loves himself over everything else, so a reminder of hour Nazi leaders ended might not be a bad idea
We haven’t forgotten that time he used Starlink to benefit Russia over Ukraine, around the time he was cosying up to Putin.
