1. Musk really is politically ignorant.

[Claustrum]

2. I think he is just running on his ego.

His poor ego is hurt by all of the democrats against him so he is doing everything he can to hurt the democrats as revenge.

[womanofthehills]

44. He recently tweeted that he always voted for democrats in the past

And might again in the future.

[PlutosHeart]

29. Or he counts on his followers being stupid

I personally think he is also but is intentionally an extremist conservative.

[YoshidaYui]

3. Because He said it, does not mean all of Twitter will follow him blindly like Zombies

People on twitter need to be given a little more credit. I am there._.

[womanofthehills]

47. I am there too - as Twitter has more Dems than Republicans

From Pew Research

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2020/10/15/differences-in-how-democrats-and-republicans-behave-on-twitter/

Most U.S. adults on Twitter post only rarely. But a small share of highly active users, most of whom are Democrats, produce the vast majority of tweets. The Center’s analysis finds that just 10% of users produced 92% of all tweets from U.S. adults since last November, and that 69% of these highly prolific users identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents.

A number of factors contribute to this phenomenon. Previous Twitter analyses by the Center have found that the platform contains a larger share of Democrats than Republicans. And in addition to being more prevalent on the site in general, the 10% most active Democrats typically produce roughly twice as many tweets in a month (157) as the 10% most active Republicans (79).

Across both parties, those who use Twitter differ in several ways compared with non-users. For instance, Twitter-using Democrats and Republicans alike tend to be younger and have higher levels of educational attainment compared with members of each party who do not use the platform.

4. I'm thinking this might just help us - he is not popular to many folks.

[nattyice]

5. He's about as cool as Mark Zuckerberg's avatar in the Metaverse.

[bronxiteforever]

6. He lies like a cheap rug. He said the below this year

Note he called our party “the party of division and hate”. Doesn’t sound like the divided government happy horseshit he is trying to spin(for the spin is dollar related).

“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold...” adding a movie popcorn emoji for emphasis.

7. F him

And no way I’d ever buy a Tesla now.

[tonekat]

33. Same here

I spotted a Polestar EV here in CT in a parking lot, and had a nice chat with the owner. There are fine alternatives to Tesla.

My solar panel company (I lease) is offering Tesla battery storage, but I have read that they are backed up and it's hard to get them serviced, plus they cost a bunch, or I could lease them too. I'm holding off, LG makes house batteries, and I think Generac and others do now too.

But no way I'll give Elon Musk (Anagram: Keno Slum) any money.

[peppertree]

8. Apartheid trust fund baby say what?

What's Afrikaans for 'fuck off'.

[msongs]

9. buy a Tesla, support right wing extremist white supremacy. spread the word nt

[Sogo]

10. ....Pay no attention to what any of the issues are....

It's just easier to look at the superficial level of the party makeup of the houses of Congress, right Elon?

Doofus.

[Stuart G]

11. Musk really doesn't know when, "To shut the f**k up"

..."Stupid is what stupid is." Guess who buys electric cars? Not conservatives....but...

..."But ..."independent-minded people." (same people are "independent minded voters."

[ificandream]

12. Musk is gonna learn fast that money can't buy him love.

[Torchlight]

13. I'm watching a guy destroy his own brand in real time.

Unfortunately, his hysterics and tantrums won't save the jobs of thousands of employees soon on unemployment if Musk keeps flappin' his gums.

[LT Barclay]

40. As far as the Tesla brand, that might be good for the rest of us.

GM is hoping to introduce something like 17-25 EV's by 2025. So all that expertise will be dispersed through the rest of the EV world.
Besides GM, VW is going to introduce my favorite next summer (and I might be able to afford one when the come out of lease around 2026). I've been waiting for it since it was first teased in 2004:

[GreenWave]

14. Many knuckleheads think voting Republican separates power.

But they don't separate their church and listen to evolution to separate the power of their church.

[Gore1FL]

15. It seems like much of the world is pointing fingers at him and laughing.

I can't imagine his endorsement really carries enough weight at this point to really change anyone's mind.

[Joe Nation]

16. Just deleted my Twitter account

Wasn't a big tweeter in the first place but wanted to pile on anyway.

[IronLionZion]

17. Too many stupid people think that's some sort of check and balance

rather than GOP obstruction without accomplishing anything useful.

[Lonestarblue]

18. Anyone who decides how to vote based on what Elon Musk thinks is truly beyond help.

Unfortunately, there probably are people who listen to him.

[Trust_Reality]

38. Yes, the guy who bought Twitter on a whim, then tried hard to back out.

His wisdom and judgment are a little on the short side.

I'm for boycotting all of his wealthy boy toys.

[pecosbob]

19. It's official...if you are on Twitter you are aiding the forces of corruption

[womanofthehills]

45. Dems need to stay on Twitter so our voices are heard

According to Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa.

Link to tweet

?s=46&t=rnNZ53YtSBkkmCngdZcrSg

Link to tweet

?s=46&t=rnNZ53YtSBkkmCngdZcrSg

Despite many quitting Twitter, large numbers are joining esp in Europe and Africa. Interesting- 20% of Twitter users are in US, 2nd most users are in Japan, 3rd in India. I think with Twitter becoming more of a world wide forum Dems need to stay to keep our views out there. Do we just want Republicans preaching their stuff to the rest of the world? As of now, way more Dems than Republicans on Twitter.

[GB_RN]

20. He'd Already Lost Me As A Potential Tesla Customer...

But if I had ANY potentially remote thoughts left that I might buy one, they’re absolutely fucking gone now.

There’s less of a chance of that happening than there is of me joining Fecesbook…and the odds of that happening are nil. Measuring something at absolute zero degrees Kelvin is more likely.

To Hell with both Oberfuhrer Musk and Julius Caesar Zuckerberg.

[yaesu]

21. Why would anyone take advice from a fancy golf cart salesmen nt

[truthisfreedom]

22. If Elon really gave a fuck about humanity

He’d be teaching his newfound repuke friends that climate change is real and must be addressed seriously.

[Botany]

23. IOW Musk Rat wants it so Joe Biden can't get anything done.

Coming soon you can buy twitter for pennies on the dollar.

[TeamProg]

24. This might be a good thing for DEMS!!! Buh-Bye Twitter !! n/t

[Cha]

25. Fascist Fuck Musk. nt

[karynnj]

26. From many reactions to his tweets, he is totally not loved on twitter

I seriously doubt he can help more than he hurts by endorsing. At the moment he js not all that well liked.

[Collimator]

27. "Shared power"?

You mean sharing power with working people, women, minorities? Are Republicans really interested in doing that?

Or are you talking about sharing power with all Americans as in their vote matters no matter who they are or where they live and nobody anywhere gets to decide whether it "counts" or not? For that matter, really "sharing power" means that--other than a few common sense safeguards--you don't make people jump through hoops and do back flips just so they can vote.

I can honestly say that I have had negative encounters with knee-jerk liberal/progressives who practice their own brand of intolerance. Setting that aside, it is clear to me that Republicans want to consolidate power for themselves, i.e. "professional" Republicans who hold office and the people bankrolling them. They have no sincere desire to share power with the people they gaslight into voting them and of course they don't want to share power with Democrats.

[Corgigal]

28. Why does he have to be in America?

Would any other country allow him to setup shop there.

Don’t we have enough dumb people here? We need now to outsource more dumb people?

I don’t care how much money he has, he’s hasn’t done anything for the citizens here. He will never be a valuable member of society.

[womanofthehills]

46. Twitter is world wide

Only 20 % of Twitter users are in US. Dems on Twitter outnumber Republicans 65% to 33% - probably because a high percentage of people on Twitter are college educated.

[Gordolfon]

30. Twitter is now a Super PAC for Republicans

The rich support the rich.

[Skittles]

34. just like the Supreme Court

yup

[The Grand Illuminist]

31. It is not Musk who is the problem.

But the people who follow his advice to vote against the greater good. And it will be those people who will face extreme consequences for it.

[JCMach1]

32. Bloviating billionaire, verbal diarrhea spreading RW trolls

Are indeed part and parcel of the problem.

Literally, his companies should be busted as a trust... The real reason he's trying to get into media and influence politics.

[The Grand Illuminist]

36. It's all about choices and free will.

It doesn't matter how much bile Musk spews. It is whether the people buy it. If they do, then they will be fully responsible. Musk is nothing but a RW salesman.

[Joinfortmill]

35. Twitter is twitching in its death throws.

[Schmice3]

37. It was always about the power and influence he could wield.

[Trust_Reality]

39. Greed, wealth, and power.

No wonder he recommends Republicans.

[Bengus81]

41. Still thinks he'll drag $8 per month out of Trump Humpers for their em...."checkmark"

Oh how cute,a wittle check mark showing your a Nazi supporter on TWITler. That monthly "subscription" of those idiots will last about as long as a fart in a hurricane.

[JI7]

42. asshole

[LudwigPastorius]

43. Anti-union, pro-corporate welfare, wants more capital gains tax cuts, lives in a Libertarian...

fantasy world in which he is the self-made billionaire who doesn't need infrastructure, an ample, productive labor force, and a politically and economically stable society upon which he builds his businesses to extract wealth...

Yep, he's a Republican.

[harun]

48. A perfectly deadlocked gov't means the 1% tells the leaders of the parties what

to do and they usually do it.

Good for the 1%, not so good for the rest.
