The man has billions, he could retire and live a life of hedonistic bliss unavailable to any human in history.

Instead he chooses to meddle in politics and signal boost the worst portions of humanity.

I can't find any fucks to give.

As if he doesn’t also have millions of hollow-brained adoring money-worshipping fans who think he’s the best thing since the third reich. That should balance out the hate.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 42 points 3 months ago

I used to get death threats online pretty regularly. It definitely doesn't balance out. That said, Musk has earned this. I'm not going to feel sad about a guy doing a fascist coup having his feelings hurt when people don't like it

I work in gender affirming care that includes pediatric populations and have my services listed online for referrals. It’s not super common to be fair but every once in a while I get an email or voicemail that’s like “you’re a child abuser and you should die” or some shit. It’s why I specifically say voicemail; I don’t answer calls to my business phone bc of this. Everything gets screened and I call back. Thankfully it’s infrequent and this has been enough to ensure I never have to engage with these people.

You’re absolutely right though. I’ve posted about my work before and people will sometimes be like “thank you for doing what you do”. I appreciate that, and those comments outnumber these threats, which again are not very common, but they stick out. Even the ones that don’t wish me dead. Once I got an email that just said “f*g enabler”. I don’t know why I remember that. It was years ago.

It’s the knowledge that someone out there absolutely hates you and wants you to die without knowing anything (really) about who you are, I think.

The really sad part of this is that this is a core part of the minority stress model; that feeling constant oppression from the world around you is noxious and has measurable consequences on physical and mental health. If he and his dumb racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, etc cronies reflected on their experience and practiced empathy for even a moment they would realize that this stress is something experienced almost constantly by someone on their hit list, because of them.

Edit: while I appreciate the positivity I genuinely didn’t mean for this to be a “please give me positive support” thing. I dunno I always feel awkward posting about this because it’s like I’m fishing for compliments at the expense of one of the most marginalized communities out there. You don’t need to thank me, though I do appreciate it quite a bit

You've made the world a far better place than any of those shitstains could ever hope to. However little it may mean, you're improving and saving lives, and we're all thankful for it.

Thank you immensely for doing what you do, and for persevering through the difficult parts while doing it. You're exactly the kind of hero we need more of. I'm sorry there are still so many terrible people.

[-] SarcasticCephalopod@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Thank you. I can't find the words to express how much I admire you for doing the work you do despite the hate. I'm sorry we live in a world where the work you do inspires such vile sentiment, but I'm grateful for people like you making the world less horrible.

It should, if it’s organic. It probably ruins the magic when you know a large portion (who knows, maybe even a majority) of them are either literal bots or paid participants in disinformation campaigns.

The only good bug is a dead bug! (Billionaire Undermining Government)

[-] Sh0ckw4ve@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I love this acronym

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Elon if you're reading this I'm really sorry. In fact I believe we should make you feel even more pain, garbage.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Better if he didn't feel anything at all.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

Ever again.

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago
[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

I never understood liking Elon.

[-] Vari@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

The cave rescue “pedo” comment was my turning point, like a lot of people.

He’s fucking repulsive. And an example of the worst humanity has to offer.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Trump is older, and has had much more time to establish his credentials as a crumb.

Like any young gun, Elon has to double down to surpass the master.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Back in the day, all I knew about him were these "facts": He invented PayPal, Tesla, and started SpaceX ... Didn't learn the truth until later.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

He started beleiving his own PR.

[-] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 months ago

I hate him offline too!

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Don't feel too special Elon. You are just the biggest cancerous tissue but nevertheless you are in the same category

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

Fuck you Elon!

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If I had his wealth, the world would be a different place and no one would know my name because I'm laying drunk on a beach somewhere. Then again, I'm not pathologically greedy (apathy), so I wouldn't be able to accumulate that all in the first place.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago

Keep it up everyone! Maybe we can get him to overdose or have a heart attack or something.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

if he only reads X.com comments, i am afraid you're going down a path I can't follow

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

if he's still around, it's not as stressful as it needs to be.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Just look at how he looks. It's not just drugs, I think the stuff does add up.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Well that's what happens when you groom your stepdaughter

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 13 points 3 months ago

The Neo-Nazi nepo baby of an emerald mine owner can't get enough hate

[-] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Fucker has been getting cyberbullied practically non-stop since he bought Twitter. If anything, it's not stressful enough.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

"Wah! This hate isn't supposed to be at meeEEE!"

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

I feel bad for the world's richest attention seeker.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He can stress on these balls

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Rich coming from someone whose openly a bigoted troll on and offline

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

He should walk about a bit in public, get a sense of the offline hate.

[-] Tezzerets_Tea_Time@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I hope the level of hate grows and moves into offline hate. That shitbag doesn't deserve a single moment of peace. Break him.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

I wish I could be on a unenjoyment vacation
