I don't understand it either. Why is Elon Musk a "terrorist"? And why is this the most upvoted post? Maybe being European limits my ability to comprehend American political rhetoric.
> The American left, who hates Musk because he’s an outspoken and unrepentant capitalist (among other reasons)
Ah yes, all the criticism I hear about Musk from my liberal friends has everything to do with his "unrepentant capitalism".
You either have a small or very peculiar social circle. Your comment isn't technically wrong since you were thoughtful enough to add "(among other reasons)" but it almost beggars belief that you'd be serious here. Do I really have to spell out why the left hate Musk?
First: I did not use the word terrorist, nor do I know anyone that has. I am sure some people feel that way, particularly those that are close to communities in which he is inspiring fear and anxiety.
As for why I and "the left" don't like him? To be honest, I don't really want to have that conversation in an internet forum, and your incuriosity on your original comment coupled with inserting words into my mouth gives me zero belief that this will be a good faith conversation. Just ask ChatGPT if you really want to know, or I'm sure there's reddit threads on the subject.
He's making an offer to buy something at twice the price of the other offer on the table.
I'm not sure it'd be a good deal for Musk but it looks like a good deal for the seller.
