Elon Musk Complains About 'Paid' Protests on Call About Tesla's Poor Earnings
Elon Musk Bemoans ‘Paid’ Protests as Tesla Earnings Plummet
During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025.
Nah fam, we hate you so much we do it for free. We just want to watch you burn.
Nobody has to pay me to hate you, you fucking fascist loser. I do it pro bono.
His suffering brings me joy
For future reference, it's ducats.
Ducat was a "trade coin"(not usually a legal/single state currency) that started in the late 1200s Italy, and was still used by Austra in the early 1900s.
I thought it's something to do with ducks at first.
Wow, I've never heard of Austra before
Exactly, I'm ethusiastically trashing him on a daily basis for free, I'd LOVE to get paid for it. I'd be so good at it, I'd probably get promoted.
Dude literally tried to buy elections. Even if they were paid (they aren't) he would have no right to complain
Remember that it's always projection with these fucks.
HE is paying people to steal the election for him & paying people to play games for him so he can claim he is the best
so he assumes others must be doing the same...NO.
I wonder if any of those people on that call had the guts to point this out to him. These people are never called up on their bullshit and that's how they get ahead.
He doesn't get that most of us aren't bigoted pieces of shit and we hate him for his actions. He probably doesn't know what righteous anger is. So our protests have got to be paid for. More projection from a right winger.
His narcissism won't let him admit that no one likes him. He's a Prince, his mother told him so.
I think he also genuinely can't comprehend anyone doing anything that isn't for personal gain.
This.
I usually don't watch YouTube celebrities, but recently I watch the Vaush guy state what I've known for a while in my 53 years on the planet:
Some people truly can't understand why anyone would do anything without some kind of compensation. They think it's stupid, and anyone who does anything without expecting something in return is stupid, and deserves to be taken advantage of. And they don't feel bad about it. It's the "Natural Order." Winners win, and losers lose. Any instance of "Altruism" is just "Virtue Signaling," done for attention and to influence others to their advantage.
Everything is transactional, and everyone who is not useful is expendable. To them, "empathy" truly is weakness.
This would work if Elon didn't desperately want his parents to love him instead of bully him on his own social media platform. His mom never called him anything other than "that annoying kid", clearly.
which mother, the step sister one?
His mother also deprived us of the best MMA match of the century (Elon vs Zuck)
Paid by who?
Paid by who, you little dust bowl
"The elite wealthy who secretly run the whole government"
Oh, you mean you? YOU MEAN YOU ELON???
George Soros, obviously. He's their favorite rich bogeyman.
Dipshit immigrant buys a presidency and then cries about "paid" protests.
Loooooooooser.
Richest man on Earth whines about other people being able to afford to buy protestors?
Funny that's how he thinks immediately, that movements can be bought and sold... almost makes you wonder huh...
During a call with investors Tuesday, Musk blamed “paid” and “very organized” protesters for his electric company’s remarkably weak earnings so far in 2025. “They’re obviously not going to admit that the reason that they’re protesting is because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse, they’re gonna come up with some other reason, but that is the real reason for the protests,” said the billionaire.
Y’all were gettin’ paid to protest? That girl who got caught setting fire to Teslas, she was paid too? All the people protesting.. paid? Uh huh That’s my first nope 🙂↔️
My second nope: you literally have been paying people to vote in your favor.
He’s so full of it 🤣 He’s regurgitating his own excrement and totally dim to the absurdity or irony of what he’s defecating.
Let not thy heart be moved with mercy for this man; for he reapeth the fury of that which he hath sown. -ChatGPT, not the Bìblé
Projection. It's always projection with these cunts.
My payment is Musk's tears.
Describing the left as "very organized" is the funniest thing I've read all year.
That should have investors chomping at the bit to have him replaced.
"They all showed up at around the same time." = "very organized" :D
that’s much more organized than any leftist group i’ve ever seen
compared to KetaMusk that's probably impressive
Hating Musk is one of the few things we can all agree on.
It's always projection.
Start asking MAGA who paid them to be MAGA.
I can get paid to do this? Where do I sign up?
Same, getting paid to do something I love is a dream. It would also be very funny if I got paid enough money as an anti-tesla protester to afford HRT with enough money left over to donate to worker liberation organizations :3
Seeing him suffer is payment enough
He’s conflating paid and organized in an attempt to make them synonymous. Basically, anyone you ever see holding a sign is just an actor and their message is not worth acknowledgement. Don’t think too hard about how much you’re getting utterly fucked, Billy. That’s what a “globalist” would do!
Classic, straight out of the fascists playbook. Everyone who supports the fash is grassroots movement, everyone who opposes fascism is a paid shill from the scapegoat du jour.
These guys can't even come up with an original excuse.
Surprised he didn't invoke George Soros.
“They’re obviously not going to admit that the reason that they’re protesting is because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse, they’re gonna come up with some other reason, but that is the real reason for the protests,” said the billionaire.
Musk and DOGE have slashed the agency that manages Social Security, as he’s falsely criticized America’s core safety-net program as a “Ponzi scheme.”
They probably receive or expect to receive funds or services from Social Security or some other government program. The filthy swine.
Somehow, I don't think that this is going to do a great deal to heal any brand damage with progressives.
Frankly, I think that Mr. Musk would be considerably better off if he would simply stop tweeting or publicly-saying things before running them past a PR team.
because they’re receiving fraudulent money, or that they’re the recipients of wasteful largesse
Every accusation is a confession https://fortune.com/2025/03/26/elon-musk-tesla-under-investigation-canada-wrongfully-boosting-sales/
The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He's truly revolting to anyone who sees him.
All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. I've heard his dick doesn't work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.
So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they'll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he's so fucking wierd.
It fills me with such glorious schadenfreude to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying "Money can't buy happiness."
Yup. Richest guy in the world also wants to be the most popular and loved too. He could have easily continued that image by not actively damaging his "brand" for no reason with his immature outbursts. He also could have given money to those that needed it. He's never going to do it seems because those were never apart of his core values. He loves pretending that they are though.
There was a post yesterday or so that he was extremely depressed after getting booed on stage with Dave Chappelle. That made me quite happy.
Who's paying them? Genuinely, who, in his grandiose delusions, wants his demise and is paying people to protest, just to lower his stock prices. Who does he actually think is "out to get him".
George Soros, maybe?
Just remember, every accusation is a confession. Musk pays protestors, so he believes others do as well.
Yeah and how do I sign up
The reason he thinks they're paid is because that's how he gets people to do things. He doesn't understand any other type of motivation because his whole world revolves around money in exchange for services.
Yes Mr. Musk sir, your chips from 7-11 sir, on sale for only $10,000 sir. Yes sir, I’ll keep the change sir.
Sounds to me like he’s lying to investors about the true nature of a risk to the company
‘Member when the SEC existed? I ‘member!
Fair point, though individual investors also have a right of private action to sue, likely as a class action, for misleading investors
Just hire counterprotestors? You have the scratch. Show us how logistically plausible it is to hire an enormous group of people to congregate and chant your ideas.
You'll know that's happening when the counter protesters show up in matching T-shirts, with professionally printed signs, and they appear at multiple protests. They'll claim they all responded independently, despite the obvious evidence before our eyes.
Who the fuck has all this money to pay for protesters?
Wait it must be the same people who can afford to give away drugs in Halloween candy....
That's rich coming from someone that bought Trump the election.
Now we get to live rent free in this Nazi’s head.
Not my first choice for accommodations but can't beat the rate.
So Elon is just mad that he can't afford to hire protesters?
Than stop paying for people to show up on your side and then you won’t have a problem. The people against you are doing it for free.
Fuck Elon. He put the stick in his own spokes.
Dumbass.
Perfect 👌
You guys are getting paid?
I'm getting paid. Not with money, but pure schadenfreude.
So, like the usual double-speak rhetoric from this party, just gotta invert what he says:
Elmo Muskrat pays for protestors, and is sad that his paid protestors aren't as effective as real ones.
If there's nothing wrong with paying out millions of dollars for votes, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with paying for protests, either. Have your cake, and shut the fuck up while we force feed it to you, too.
Who the fuck is paying them? hes the in with the crowd who hoarded all the money
How dare you use our tactics against us.
This is the same guy who wanted to buy votes?
Maybe Elon is jealous that these "workers" were able to go home and sleep in their own beds at night. Unlike Elon, who apparently sucks so much at his job that he has to sleep in the office on the floor.
Are these day gigs or are these kind of jobs something i need a resume for?
I need to figure out who's giving out all this free money because I'd really like for some to come my way.
Pretty crazy how the richest man alive can't out pay the protestors current employers. So even in his narrative, he still ain't paying people.for.shit
Leon Hitler can piss in the wind.
I hope some of these investors tell him why he's getting such hate. Maybe he'll listen to them.
Paid protestors, eh? I heard he was paying them to not protest and this is how much they hate him.
I heard that he offered them a million billion dollars and that they still refused because he sucks so much.
He still can't understand that people actually hate him.
I can get paid to tel Elmo henvan gonfuxk himself?
Why did nobody tell me?
This is how much sympathy I have for you Felon Muskrat
Still too large of a violin.
He believes his own lies? Not that surprising really.
sore loser.
Man's so insulated from the working class he doesn't know how money works for real people.
Can only imagine the damage this scumbag has done and who he's really serving. It isn't humanity. Thats for damn sure.
Great photo, he looks like a frog
Time to wake up, Mister Musk! Wake up and smell the coffee!
I dream of musk reduced to working at a cell phone accessory kiosk in a forgotten mall, peddling glittering iPhone cases and rambling about how he made comedy legal again.
Not everything can be bought buddy.
We need to be paid to afford the tariff/national sale tax.
