Do I even want to know what a pajeet is?
You probably don’t.
I looked it up after not hearing the term before.
Tap for spoiler
It’s a slur for South Asians. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet
So is the implication that all Indians think Mush is a hero?
Anon’s use of slurs is disgusting and absolutely should be condemned. But the underlying observation seems to track with my LinkedIn feed; there’s a lot of people in tech on the subcontinent whose dream ticket is to get their company acquired by a deca-billionaire and think that simping online is a good way to make it happen.
(Not all people etc)
Sadly I assumed correctly
It’s actually a name. Pajeet is a genuine Hindu name. It’s a pejorative, in the same way “Paddy” is both an Irish name and used as a slur for Irish people.
According to the link above, and the Hindu American Foundation, it’s not a real name and is exclusively pejorative.
Ya gonna have to tell that to the people I have met with this name, sorry guys your name is not real!
Tell ‘em Wikipedia and their five cited sources sent ya!
From the wiki:
The implication makes fun of a typical Indian male’s name.
Doesn’t say it’s not a real name though. Neither does the screen cap of the tweet.
And what does it say right above that?
An invented term for a South Asian person.
And from CubitOom’s link:
An invented Indian-sounding given name
And from the sources cited on Wikipedia:
a derogatory made-up Indian name originating on 4chan in 2015
First seen on 4Chan, The term “pajeet” is an ethnic slur, coined as a derisive imitation of Indian names
It’s an Indian, from India. Not Native American.
Anti-South Asian/antisemitic ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory term
Antisemitic…? It’s just a general racist term towards Indians
“Great Replacement” conspiracy theory relies on the idea that elites, Jews (a diffuse entity) are organising the ‘replacing’.
Yes, but the term “pajeet” isn’t linked to that afaik, other than that people who support that theory are racists and racists use the term “pajeet”.
Racist word towards Indians
Elon is autistic not retarded. Check your ableism.
The main issue is that he is a drug addict. It completely fucked his brain.
The main issue is that he’s a fucking nazi.
Most drug users are people self medicating to cope with serious trauma. Most autistic people are decent human beings.
Elon Musk is a shit human being and a Nazi. It’s not about his autism or drug use. When I get fucked up - I don’t turn into a fucking Nazi.
He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we’re calling nothing these days?
How will he benefit from the data he collected? He’s not in advertising and even if he were a snapshot isn’t worth much - you’d need an ongoing stream. Location data from teslas would be more valuable than the data could’ve stolen with doge.
He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we’re calling nothing these days?
But he also inflicted a lot of long-term damage upon himself and his businesses. So the question in the post still stands.
And Trump is now threatening to cancel those government contracts. So he’s blown everything he’s gained (and then some) from his little fling with Trump.
That’s what trump does. He threatens. Then in the majority of times he gets distracted or backs down. Those contracts aren’t cancelled until they are cancelled.
Yeah he’s all TACO when doing things that’ll break the economy. But killing SpaceX won’t break the economy and he’s looking for something he can do that’ll make him appear strong. I wouldn’t bet either way on this, they’re both nutjobs.
I don’t know. Trump despises California to begin with and he has threatened to cut off federal funding to the state.
Even if we assume those contracts get canceled, unless they force him to destroy that data (which probably isn’t possible at this point) and reopen all those investigations then that’s not really true, is it?
TACO
Has absolutely nothing to show for it
But is still the richest person in the world
Which is the worst part of it. Being so rich you can do a royal, life ruining fuckup and still be on top.
Also he did manage to dismantle federal government, so no more oversight and regulations for corporations. That is a pretty huge win for oligarchs and a catastrophy for basically everybody else, which everybody seems to have forgotten about in the general avalanche of shitshows which has been occurring.
5D chess, us mere mortals simply cant comprehend his immense genius
spoiler
I wish I didn’t have to put this here, but someone is for sure going to think I’m serious if I don’t. /s
He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.
Anyone who upvotes useless meme about him is more retarded than he is.
None of them are geniuses, it’s just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.
Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it’s all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.
Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.
A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence.
Smart people who make good products that people want will have the invisible hand distribute them wealth. Dumb people who make bad products that no one wants will go backrupt. This is the core philosophy behind why capitalism “works.” It is a system that conflates wealth with virtue, by design.
You’re right to point out that it is incorrect logic, but no one is confusing anything. The entirety of our Western world is build around this idea and reinforces it to its people at every single opportunity. They’re making the judgements that they have been told are correct. Can we really say people are confused when they’re confidently acting exactly as they’ve been taught from birth?
honestly wealth at any level requires luck… intelligence barely factors into it. it’s less that 1 fuck up and it’s all over, and more that 1 fuck up without someone to cover it up or bail you out and it’s all over… the wealthier you are, the bigger the fuck up before you or someone else can bail you out:
poor? it’s an unexpected car issue
rich? it’s that you fucked over literally an entire country for years on end in a very public way that gained you very little
But Musk wants to be a trailblazer and prove that you can lose at anything.
Look I don’t like Musk either but even starting off wealthy becoming the richest man in the world takes some doing. He was way ahead of the curve on reusable rockets and EVs and succeed there where a bunch of people failed. I think where he fails is when it comes to protecting his image and maintaining relationships. He’s a thin-skinned narcissist who thinks he’s humanity’s savoir and eventually that got to him.
That…and developing some serious drug habits in recent years
I guess Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning were just hapless chaps stumbling around in the dark, until Elon lighted their way with his genius vision of how to build an EV. So much so I had to google their names because even I can’t remember them.
Yeah pretty much haha
I like the way you put it
Genuinely a retard and yes that is the correct word and stop trying to police it.
No. If you use a slur about disabled people to insult anyone, you’re just an asshole. No matter what a disgusting piece of shit anyone is, using that word to insult is just awful.
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was about people like you.
Also, your comment is offensive to fecalphiliacs
Are you serious? Like, someone says “please don’t use shitty slurs that discriminating disabled people” and your instinctive reaction is “THEY SILENCE ME AND CRIMINALIZE KNOWLEDGE”. That’s just pathetic. You can be an asshole, but get over being called one then.
And unrelated, but Fahrenheit is an awful book lol. Good dystopias are 1984, Brave New World or We. Fahrenheit 451 is just the author mad about television and saying that it’s so stupid and will ruin everyone’s brain. While the thought itself of knowledge being forbidden can be interesting and is an element in other dystopias, Fahrenheit is mainly based on the pure belief that books are a better medium than television, which is beyond ridiculous.
TIL you haven’t read Fahrenheit 451
Don’t forget completely mismanaging Twitter, and turning it into even more of a cesspool.
that may have been entirely or mostly intentional, because it’s now 100% a right-wing propaganda machine and it got Trump elected
Don’t forget the lying. He always always lies to sell his shit, always has for decades now, and it works, people always lapped yo every dumb bullshit that came out of his mouth
Off to Russia?
Russia just offered him asylum publicly so 🙄 Google it, it’s all over the news.
I wonder if the trump cult also now hates him after saying he was the goat for the last 6 months.
What’s worse, democrats are already forming a line to kiss his nazi ass.
Who is? I know this is the narrative on Fox News, but I’ve yet to see any major Dems doing this.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/05/elon-musk-democrats-donald-trump-00389961
centrist democrats oppose progressives and kiss nazi elon’s ass.
Your “durr everyone to my left is all the way to my right” shit makes me wonder where you are in the queue.
centrist Democrat. singular. one.
“tHe DeMoCrAtS LoVe ElOn” is a bullshit propaganda talking point. this is how propaganda works, and yall be falling for it.
I counted two in the article.
In addition to a few downplaying it in this thread.
*Rep Ro Khanna is trying to kiss his Nazi ass
The only other Dem mentioned in the article that you can try pinning that statement on simply said that he’s “a believer in redemption”, but that’s it really.
Do you believe in the redemption of elon musk?
Because I’m seeing the party that spent a whole assed year ignoring the Leahy law in order to sell weapons for genocide looking at a nazi and being like “you know, he’s not that bad.”
I believe that people have the capability of committing wrong-doings, even atrocities, only to come around later and realize that they were in the wrong and can attempt to make up for it in life.
Do I believe that Elon Musk has redeemed himself? No. I do believe he has the capability to do so though, eventually. Do I believe that he should receive punishment for his wrongdoings? Yes. Same for Trump.
In regards to the statement about Dems siding with Nazis, don’t use labels to throw everyone under the same blanket and judge them all equally harshly. Everyone is an individual, and their actions should be judged as such. If there’s a Democrat that acted in such a way, by all means call them out and we’ll all hate on them together.

I will judge anyone who sides with nazis harshly. Minimizing it like you’re doing just gives others cover to also side with nazis.
No one in your linked article is a leader in the party - just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.
No one in your linked article is a leader in the party
I didn’t say they were. They seem to be choosing a leader who is in line with centrist values. Which is to say, he has money and is a reprehensible piece of shit.
- just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys
Conjecture doesn’t typically involve direct quotes from sitting legislators.
and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.
You are fine with your party kissing nazi ass. Just not anyone pointing it out. I’d tell you to demand better, but it’s clear that you think you’re getting it already.
Just admit it - no leaders or even major legislators in the Dem party is kissing Nazi ass. The article has non specific quotes from guys I’ve never heard of. Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.

I never made that assertion. Elon is the leader the democrats in the article (and those in this thread minimizing this) have chosen.
Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.
Everyone to the left of your boy elon is “right wing” to you.
It’s 5D Narcissism :D
Yes, this. It may be drugs, it may be mental disorder, but what it CERTAINLY is is narcissism and megalomania.
Just like every Trump voter who never thought it would happen to THEM when tornado relief was denied or they were deported or their farm was on the brink of financial collapse thanks to tariffs, Musk seems to have thought he was safe? That HE could control Trump? I knew getting these two megalomaniacs together like this would go badly, I’m just impressed it lasted so long honestly.
The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When’s the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?
If his wealth were a US treasury bond, he’d have to spend at least $50,000,000 every DAY in order to not still keep getting richer.
Take a moment to think about how difficult it is to spend $50,000,000. If I gave you 24 hours to do it using Brewster’s Millions rules, you’d struggle.
There is no good reason for billionaires to exist.
filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?
there’s not much that i like about the american healthcare system but the idea of fElon eventually ending up bankrupt because of that fucking black eye really had me thinking “maybe there’s something to this”
Mark Bankstone could help him do it
