Supposed most powerful billionaire that has the world at his fingertips, can do no wrong and controls everything .... can't take a bit of criticism from a TV show.
This guy's skin is about as thick and tough as wet tissue paper.

Dictators like President Musk always have the thinnest skin.
I appreciate that this is a figure of speech, but I really think that humanity would be better off if said skin was painstakingly investigated and its thinness verified throughout. For science.

It's obvious if you look at how he runs Twitter. There's actually more censorship now than before this 'free speech absolutist' took over.

Spoken like a true Nazi.
it’s hard to get more nazi than musk
Note this well - this isn't just rhetoric. He truly and sincerely believes that people should go to prison for the "crime" of criticising him.
The US is on the path to gulags and mass graves.
The world understand the USA is having some kind of episode right now . We greatly appreciate it if you could manage to keep it within your borders. Your neighbors would be glad to help rebuild once it's calmed down.
Except this isn't an American thing. The whole world is slowly sliding to fascism. For fucks sake Germany is on route to elect fucking Nazis again. Haven't seen how their elections ended but it wasn't looking good.
America spearheaded this idiocy with Trump's first election. Hopefully now that it's well beyond the point of fucking us we'll now at least be an example of what not to do.
Pretty sure that Britain got on its Brexit bullshit before Trump was elected.

According to musk the guy who exposed his employees past racist history committed a crime. It would be funny if he wasn’t basically the president
These guys are the alpha males right? Trump and Musk are alpha? All I ever see is them complain about people hurting their feelings.
The thing about being an Alpha Male is that if you think you are one, you most definitely aren't.
When I was younger and in the Rick and Morty fandom it's something I noted quick, so many losers saying "I'M LITERALLY RICK!11 HE'S SO COOL AND AWESOME AND NON-CONFORMING!111" and they'd fucking idiots with the most basic bitch ass taste imaginable...
I realized it was a rule that "If you think you're Rick, it means you're Jerry."
Have you ever met the soy boy ass-bitches that worship him and tate. Lol they are always edgy weaklings.
I see their "fuck your feelings" bumper stickers and think, man you worship a freak who shatters at the slightest criticism

I get confused... is that the famed American free speech that Mr. Vance wants to foist upon us backward Europeans?
How very Nazi of him.
America is so weak we're letting a 4chan edgelord immigrant troll control our lives.
Our enemies couldn't be happier.
This is how these people think. If you even dare disagree or ask questions, you deserve the nuclear option.
Unelected Kleptomaniac megalomaniac Neo-nazis deserve to swing on a rope.
the president said he who saves his country isn't guilty of a crime, by the way. :)
I watched that piece. Nothing on there was beyond what we've been being told for the last few weeks. This is just hushing the criticism to keep it all quiet.
Free Speech Absolutists when people disagree with them be like...
"Free speech absolutist"
Sounds like Putin talk. He wants to Nelvany the 60 Minutes staff
Further proving billionaires shouldn't exist
Step 1: Seize all assets above 0.99 billion
Step 2: No more billionaires
(Now you got a bunch of money to redistribute)

If people do get what they deserve, Musk should be very worried.
By repeatedly calling for arrests he’s trying to normalise this rhetoric as part of his position.
Keep reminding everyone he’s an unelected civilian with Trump on a very short leash calling for arrests of private citizens. This is never normal and is just as reprehensible the 100th time as the first time.
Keep calling it out.
And keep asking elected officials especially republicans, who seem up for sale to the highest bidder, how much you have to pay to get musk imprisoned with a long prison sentence, because we’re all willing to chip in, and we will even let them seize and keep his assets too if it removes his face and voice from every story on every feed

So Musk is cementing himself as the modern Joseph Goebbels now?
He deserves a seat in a gas chamber for all the shit he's pulling now
