Elon Musk is worth over 400 billion as of now but his thirst for power and wealth is infinite. We must stop Musk's evil agenda now because otherwise he will keep growing in power and wealth. I have a solution that will help with just a few minutes of your time. We must boycott Twitter and Tesla. For Twitter if you have a social media account you can easily send a DM to your friends saying why it's important to stop using Twitter. If you use Twitter yourself make a post saying you've moved on to Bluesky or whatever app you choose and that you won't be using Twitter anymore (except perhaps to convince more people to leave).

This talk about "evil" and making him out to be more than he really is personally only serves to turn the gaze away from class struggle as a whole imo. Elon isn't evil because he is a bad apple that got blinded by greed, he is evil because he is a capitalist and his class interests are directly in opposition to those of the working class. He is no more and no less evil than any other capitalist of his league, despite some of the others not having shit for brains like Elon does and knowing when to shut the fuck up and keep their presence on the low, or even try to create a positive and progressive image in order to exploit the working class with their consent.

I totally understand what you mean! I think someone with that position while he/she may not agree with specifically calling only Musk evil would still want targeted action against Musk. The reason why is he owns a brainwashing tool, Twitter/X could take away your ability to spread your message on the platform whereas other social media websites give you the ability to spread your message. In addition he has tons of money to spend on political candidates who work against our interests who might take away our right to protest and work towards fighting other billionaire oligarchs.
