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 .......
