The real excuse from Elons fans is "It's just a joke." Or "He's trolling libs."
Which is almost as bad, even if true.
It reminds me of school bullies that would make cutting, abusive "jokes" and follow it up with "Just kidding, bruh" if it doesn’t land right. And these are some of the worst human beings I have ever personally encountered.
How can people worship something like that at such scale? Like, I wouldn’t even wish that on the most raging Nazi, it’s worse than breaking their jaw.
Another one I saw was "But Kamala Harris did it as well" which is just a frame and had to yet see an link to the video in question unlike when Elon Musk did it
Yeah that's bad, there are fields where you shouldn't joke and politics is one of them.
