I think there’s a difference between bullying and calling out asshole behaviour.
Elon Musk is fair game because he’s a total twat to everyone around him. If he was nice to everyone it would be a different matter.
He could be nice to everyone, it’s totally possible, he’d still be rich as hell his asshole behaviour did not make him rich, it isn’t an excuse and it isn’t a requirement.
I was going to say maybe he’d be less rich cuz a big problem with asshole behavior is greed and not paying a living wage and hoarding BUT then in not being an asshole he’d also be using up less money irresponsibly to hurt and annoy others.
He was rich anyway though. If he actually gets starship to work (and he will because basically the hard part has been solved it now just needs scaling) he will be the richest human alive he doesn’t need to be an asshole to do that.
However I do think that Tesla is a bit of a boondoggle at this point, there are better electric cars out there now. But they change the industry they forced the industry to develop electric vehicles because they otherwise wouldn’t have done.
He isn’t calling out Elon Musk. He’s calling anyone who likes Elon a loser.
That’s asshole behavior, and I’m willing to bet that he justifies it by claiming that everyone he’s targeting is morally inferior and deserves to be ridiculed.
To be fair to him, loads of Elon followers are rather dickish in their behavior, anything to defend Elon. That brings me to point two: anyone who defended an incompetent asshole just because he managed to get rich, is an idiot and an asshole himself.
Elon is incompetent as fuck (he got fired for incompetence, anything good he did is basically other people’s ideas or work, Hyperloop anyone, and just the entire Twitter debacle) and he’s a huge asshole (mistreats his employees, called the cave rescuers pedophiles because they didn’t wanted to use his retarded solution, yaddah yaddah yaddah)
Anyone defending that piece of shit honestly deserves to be called anything.
Devil doesn’t need an advocate.
And victims don’t need to be gaslit.
I’m sure it feels that way from a certain perspective when victims finally get a platform to speak about oppressors who have been the real world bullies without being questioned because they have too much leverage. They should be able to handle it. If not maybe they should change if they don’t like it when crunching people results in getting told how they be.
I mean if you like that asshole (Elon) then you might also be an asshole. Not talking about you liking Elon idk one way or another on that but the logic doesn’t seem very flawed to me.
The people you hold in high regard are a reflection of who you are.
I feel like 80 percent of the internet revolves around bullying other people while somehow insisting you have the moral high ground.
EDIT:
The responses are proving my point.
He’s not calling out Elon. He’s calling anyone who likes Elon a massive loser. Dude’s an asshole.

The author, a successful comedy writer, calls everyone who likes Elon “the biggest loser you’ve ever met”.
Explain to me how he is a victim and the random people he’s insulting are oppressors.
No. Because that’s your take on it. Not mine.
“everyone who likes Elon Musk is the biggest loser you’ve ever met”
That is a direct quote.

Picking up on weaker or those who won’t seriously fight back is these guys characteristic they are proud of.
