“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.
Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.
Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.
Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Besides, among other things, Musk's talk attacking small minority groups like the trans community, I can't imagine where did "the left" got the crazy idea he was Hitler.

And apart from him clearly being a Nazi, the first amen gives all of us the right to verbally lambast Tesla and Elon. It's not domestic terrorism, it's freedom, you rather fucker, Rapheal...

Yeah "the left" (in America? Lol) didn't decide anything, Elon did.

We must increase our pressure against Elon Musk. Until he's bankrupt or behind bars he's still a huge threat to our country. Boycott all his companies. Sell your Tesla stock (it's high right now I can't predict the future but maybe it's peaked right now), stop using Twitter if you use it. Contact pension funds and demand they divest from Tesla.
For Starlink If you think it's the only choice for you maybe if you're just on the edge of cell phone reception you can use a parabolic antenna to get a reliable signal for 5g internet. This will likely be lower cost than Starlink. OneWeb has a competing service but they don't sell directly, I'm not sure how you can switch to OneWeb. Project Kuiper just launched their first satellites about a month ago. AST SpaceMobile might be an option too. If those options aren't available to you I predict there will be more alternatives for Starlink within the coming years.

Cuck Cruz gonna drink billionaire ball juice on state propaganda programming before fucking off to Cancun while his constituents die. Not one thank you but three! Did you even say thank you three times?!

He has since returned to his home town of T'EXAS to slumber for an amount of time you would consider reasonable, though.

Reminder that absolutely no one has anything nice to say Ted Ratto Cruz. His own party hates and him even his constituents hate him.
MrVilliam@lemm.ee · 18 pts · 1y
I keep hearing this, yet his constituents keep electing him. So maybe they do like him, but they lie about that because they're ashamed of that fact.

Sounds like you're assuming that the Texas election system is anywhere near being close to something almost resembling representative democracy..

All of Elon's businesses have big operations in Texas. Also Ted Cruz knows what happens to people that everyone hates, they turn into fish monsters like Ted Cruz.

Fuck Elon Musk and fuck Tesla. Torch that shit to the ground as monument to assholes who think they can buy through everything with money. Also watching Elon all confused and sobbing how we're all mean to him is just a cherry on top. Be an asshole, expect to be treated as an asshole.
