The Triggering! Intense backlash after Elon Musk named Time's 'Person of the Year'


The worse choice was Biden/Harris last year.

Announcing its choice, Time cited Musk being dubbed the richest man in the world, his endeavors with SpaceX, as well as his environmental work through Tesla and SolarCity.

"This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and 'Watchmen's' Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars," Time wrote.

However, people on social media were quick to criticize the choice. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) wrote on Twitter, "Let's change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else," echoing a 2021 report by ProPublica on Musk and other leagues of the world's wealthiest people paying low tax rates.

Of course Warren is lying. She is Elizabeth Warren. DUH.
Musk has publicly explained his finances, more than he should have to.

Musk is an OK guy, not crazy about him but the freaky retard left love attacking people who don't suck them off on command. So that's why I kind of defend Musk.

Sweet Dreams

Stop being a lickspittle for billionaires. They don't give a shit about you. Did you think some of their glory would rub off on you if you licked their boots hard enough?

reply

No, but they tend to do a lot less damage than 99% of the politicians.

Lots more "news". Didn't post this because it's from Commies. Longer too.

Time magazine’s decision to make Tesla billionaire Elon Musk its person of the year for 2021 has been criticised because of his attitude to tax, opposition to unions and playing down the dangers of Covid.

But the accolade drew sharp criticism in the US, where Musk is a controversial figure because of his attitude to tax, opposing a “billionaires tax” floated by some. He, along with other prominent super-wealthy people, paid only small tax rates relative to the significant increase in his total wealth between 2014 and 2018 according to a Propublica investigation this year, with Musk paying a “real” rate of 3.27%. While legal, the rates expose the failures of America’s tax laws to levy increases in wealth derived from assets in the way wages – the prime source of income for most Americans – are taxed.

Using his 66 million followers on Twitter, he offers outlandish advice to the world and drives even his own followers and investors mad by roiling markets. He was sued by stock market regulators for tweeting in 2018 about taking Tesla private, and they alleged in correspondence to Tesla this year that two further tweets were not pre-approved by the company’s lawyers, as required by a court settlement in the earlier case.
