This is one of the more normal things he has said recently. Several quotes talking about literal demons coming after him. He might need whatever therapy program Glenn Beck joined.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

And we get to watch

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

Like sexually, by demons? Or like financially?

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

If Tesla wants to survive, the board needs to dump the Muskrat and the US government should follow, especially with his ties to fucking Vlad.

You want me to commit vote fraud? Because this is how you get me to vote multiple times haha

[–] Shadywack@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

That's funny because he said it like it's a bad thing.

[–] TechAnon@lemm.ee 28 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Elon is destroying himself. Bad investment on Twitter and dumb political antics have made me no longer a potential buyer for a Tesla. I can't be alone in this.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it doesn't matter. With that kind of wealth he could (and largely has) fuck up literally everything he touches and he'll never not have billions. The most effect he'll experience is not being the richest on the planet.

[–] TechAnon@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If it doesn't matter to him, then why is he still trying way too hard?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Billionaires always want more, and Elon will never have a true friend or experience real love. His current stage of trying to get something real is to make stupid jokes and put on a cool guy persona. Go watch the interview where he told his advertisers to fuck off. He immediately scans the crowd to see how his "too cool for you" declaration landed.

He's just a sad sack piece of shit but unfortunately because we still haven't made being a billionaire illegal we all have to put up with his influence over certain aspects of the world.

[–] TechAnon@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

Completely agree. Making him less of a money maker is the best path forward for all of us. A Rivian will probably be my next ride. Really liking the look, performance and range of the R1S!

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 14 hours ago

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 20 points 14 hours ago

Promise? 🥺

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 53 points 16 hours ago

If she does nothing else, this alone will make for a successful presidency.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

Yes, AND...

Sean combs (diddy) will be destroyed if compelling evidence of the crimes he's accused of is presented, and arguments are made by his legal team, to the point that he's found guilty by a jury of his peers.

Same for trump...

Same for musk...

Even same for you little lord tucker and your, "wow, these russian supermarket shopping carts are just so amazing!!!!" internet videos...

[–] Bonesy91@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Two for one win? Amazing even more reason to vote for Harris 😊

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 39 points 16 hours ago

don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] rageagainstmachines@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

The ultimate endorsement from that bowtie wearing clown!

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 24 points 16 hours ago

This makes me even happier about my vote for harris

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 36 points 18 hours ago

Cant believe Tuker is endorsing Harris.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 18 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Why? What did he do?

Even if Kamala wins, the US doesn't imprison billionaires. So he must have done something real bad for this to be a possibility.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

His companies are deeply reliant on subsidies and protective tariffs - it's likely that the US would diversify ev subsidies after all this election interference from Musk.

He's been betting his financial well being on Trump winning.

[–] Bonskreeskreeskree@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Russian asset. Election crimes. Just to name the 2 biggest.

Eh, people like Carlson use this rhetoric to try to get the young male voters. The Harris admin isn’t petty and vengeful, you’re thinking of Trump admin. Worse people doing worse things have gotten deals with the U.S. govt on a variety of things. So no, Carlson is full of shit as usual

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 23 points 17 hours ago

Threatening us with good news.

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

You can’t threaten me with a good time!

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago

Sadly, probably not.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 128 points 1 day ago
[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 24 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

He's on the hook for something, why do you think he wants trump to win

[–] JollyG@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I suspect it is because he believes he can con Trump into giving him control over the entirety of NASAs budget

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 31 points 23 hours ago

Fingers crossed!

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 hours ago

That doesn't make much sense.

How, specifically, would he be destroyed. He's literally the most wealthy person in the world (sometimes second). What does Tucker think that Harris (the US govt) have on Musk....that they wouldn't have already used?

If he is such a giant criminal; why would the government not already be prosecuting this case?

Literally, not figuratively please.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

It will overload his emotion emulation circuits and the head unit will blow.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 113 points 1 day ago
[–] don@lemm.ee 35 points 1 day ago

Okay, so what’s the warning? Where’s the bad news?

[–] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

"I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he's going to go to prison if Trump loses," Carlson said.

LOL. Billionaires don't go to prison in America.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 73 points 1 day ago
[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 70 points 1 day ago

Don’t tease me Tucker

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Billionaires are a problem.
