Elon Musk heaps more praise on trucker convoy in Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s fascination with and support of Canadians gathered in Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates continued over the week.

Musk first took to Twitter Jan. 27 and praised truckers en route to the nation’s capital. They are opposed to a federal vaccine mandate that requires them to be innoculated before they can return to Canada after a trip to the United States, which has similar regulations.

After two days of demonstrations, desecration of the National War Memorial and the Terry Fox statue and general gridlock caused by tractor-trailers parked throughout the city, Musk returned to Twitter to offer praise.

In reply to a tweet containing a video that shows protestors in front of Parliament Hill and trucks parked throughout the city, Musk said:

1. The Asshole of the Year lies as much as Trump

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. Oooooh what a hot take from that creepy little weirdo. If he hangs out

and observes humans long enough. I'm sure he'll be able to pass one day.

[PortTack]

3. And would he be praising them if that were outside his factory bldg disrupting business

Go back to South Africa!

[forthemiddle]

20. Even if you disagree with the truckers

Are you honestly saying that we should stop any protest if it disrupts a business?
Or only protests that you disagree with?

[PortTack]

21. Oh please

[multigraincracker]

4. He will put all of those truckers out of work

as soon as his AI 18 wheelers are on the road.

[Disaffected]

5. He gets stranger by the day.

Huffing hydrazine (rocket fuel)??

[PatSeg]

8. He really is

Something just ain't right about that guy. Even he once said that he might be bipolar.

Some people have to be the center of attention all the time. Reminds me a bit of a guy who used to be president.

[Disaffected]

9. That too?

He has recently said he is on the autism spectrum.

[PatSeg]

12. Hmm, sounds like he knows he is off-the-wall

and he's making excuses for his behavior. Maybe he could work on a little self-control or get some counseling. He certainly can afford the best help available.

[Disaffected]

17. Actually I don't think autism itself

provides an explanation for his lamentable behaviour - maybe he is just a self-absorbed jerk after-all.

And yeah, some counseling and/or a kick in the ass might be helpful.

[PatSeg]

19. Yeah, my initial diagnosis would be "self-absorbed jerk"

Trying to put a medical term to it would be an obvious symptom. "My outrageous behavior is not my fault, because I have _____".

I've known my fair share of self-absorbed jerks and if they had money, they would be much like Elon Musk.

[tenderfoot]

10. Oh come now. People on the spectrum are allowed to be insufferable assholes. Don't be so judgy.

[Starry Messenger]

6. He's a sociopath

[iemanja]

7. How do the Time editors feel now?

After having picked a POS.

[struggle4progress]

11. "I'm vaccinated and really don't care if Canadians die"

[uponit7771]

13. Aren't the truckers waving Nazi flags and confederate flags? tia

[Crunchy Frog]

14. Appropriate that he has a symbolic dick as his avatar.

[jmowreader]

15. And while this relative handful of truckers is clogging traffic in Ottawa...

Ninety percent of the truckers in Canada are vaccinated and under loads right now.

I don't know about y'all, but if I was a Canadian trucker I'd be mighty pissed off at these malcontents for making my job harder.

[Red Mountain]

16. Well clearly he feels Trump should be reinstated

as per the Jan 6 'protests'.

Fair enough. So much with all that messy Democracy stuff.

[WarGamer]

18. Silicon Valley and the tech boom have spawned all kinds of Libertarians...

Musk, Thiel... all products of "Technolibertarianism"

They support small gov't, low regulation, freedom of digital speech and their right to be filthy rich.
