With the invasion of Ukraine and lockdowns in China putting added pressure on a supply chain that has yet to recover from the ongoing pandemic, many are predicting a global recession. Elon Musk says bring it on.

“This is actually a good thing,” Musk said in response to a question from a Twitter user. “It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen.

“Also,” he continued, “all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”

Hey Musk, do you fucking realize that we had a fucking megalomanic narcissists telling people to inject bleach to get rid of Covid19, and also said it was a hoax, and some of his psychopaths, believed him, and he caused all by himself the deaths of over 950,000 with the help of his fellow jerks to run around and say this fucking nonsense, while the sane were staying home to stay alive from psychopaths even today.....because some of us have issues with our immune system with pre-existing conditions.....you know like heart disease.....for example....

“all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”


Your a grifter at my expense and millions of others that pay taxes that you don't pay, you pay at least 8.2 % if even that.... I really consider you and others like you deadbeats .......

[dchill]

2. Elon has never seen a corner he can't paint himself into.

[spooky3]

3. :-) he's another idiot who equates good work with long hours

I doubt he’s been sleeping on the shop floor in many years.

6. Takes one to know one

Get your umbrella, Musk

[Mad_Machine76]

7. Fools?

Like him? And what should he care about a global recession? HE will be fine.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Recessions don't really hurt the 1%...

Oh, they'll lose some paper fortunes, I suppose, but if you take a million dollars away from a billionaire it doesn't affect his lifestyle much.

[PJMcK]

9. Musk has no self-awareness, does he?

This is a hilarious statement by a man who has far too much money and not a lot of common sense.

[ck4829]

26. Ha, nope.

[wryter2000]

10. Rained on fools

Irony deficient.

[2naSalit]

11. Well, Ego, my boy...

I'll tell ya, You have no fucking clue so sit down and STFU. You are NOT and economist nor have you any sense of humanity so you should just keep that noise to yourself.

[empedocles]

12. Ego? hmm

'Elon Musk said Bill Gates has a multi-billion dollar bet against Tesla and calls Jeff Bezos 'fine, I guess'

Musk reiterated his criticism of Bill Gates and advised Jeff Bezos to spend "less time in the hot tub …'

[Boomerproud]

15. The responses have said it all.

[Coventina]

16. Exhibit A says what?

[Disaffected]

17. I wonder if this jerk

is preparing himself for a run for public office? Might explain at least some of this publicity grabbing behaviour.

[niyad]

18. May elon receive everything he deserves.

[Quixote1818]

19. His ego is getting as big as Trump's. Just another narcissistic asshole. nt

[Baked Potato]

20. Musk has a touch of Bannonism in him. And, some Romney too.

“Code-word Elon” is blaming Covid Stimulation Checks for making people not want to work. POS should ask himself if PPP loans should be forgiven or paid back.

Elon is getting close to a 47% moment.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. What a despicable jerk

World's richest man Elon Musk says recession would be a 'GOOD' thing because it'll hurt unproductive work-from-home crowd and 'foolish' business owners he says deserve to go bankrupt

[hunter]

22. May everything he touches turn to shit.

Alas, he'll never end up homeless, but maybe he'll end up carbonized at the bottom of a huge smoking crater. Or frozen in near perpetuity on a million year ride through deep space

That would possibly be a mercy.

I don't think Howard Hughes died a happy man.

24. Give that guy a mirror NT
