Elon Musk: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

So does this mean we're finally acknowledging that putting billionaires and corporations above the law is a problem or too early?

I would like to personally thank the robot dancer for the penguin waddle they did on their way off-stage.

As an autistic, I think Elon Musk provides valuable representation for the community: he proves we can be stupid, egotistical, petty, amoral assholes just like everyone else!

The bomber jacket with the black T-Shirt, beer belly, thinning, unbrushed hair and cowboy boots is spot on. I swear he walked right out of a south Missouri trailer park. The drugs are really starting to show.

Oliver: “I’ve never actually revolutionized an industry myself” Um excuse me? Professional marble racing would disagree.

While wearing a jacket from Ralph Lauren’s ‘Midlife Crisis Collection’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

At 9:00 funny how he explains that they can't sell cars for less than the cost to produce, but had no problem taking orders and money for the future sale before he had any idea what it would actually cost.

The fact that billionaires can apparently just deny access to safety inspections for their businesses kinda makes it seem like the billionaire has more power than the safety inspectors. And that should definitely be the other way around. They shouldn't need permission. They should be able to get police to accompany them and force their way in if necessary. But that would require police to be protecting the people in the business instead of the business property so I can see why we don't do that in America.

“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

You know if one person can be the CEO of 5 companies maybe the job isn’t as hard as they claim.

"Tell it to Earth"?? Is Earth one of his progeny? 😂😂

I lost all respect, what little I already had, when he falsely accused that man who rescued the Thai boys diving team of being a pedophile simply because he beat Elon musk to rescuing those boys because Elon was too busy stroking his ego talking about his plans for some Futuristic submarine to save them when that wasn’t even necessary as proven by the man who actually saved them. Calling somebody a pedophile just because your ego got bruised is so disgusting.

I'm Swedish. More than a month ago Tesla mechanics went on strike because (surprise surprise) Tesla has refused to sign a collective agreement with the union (which is pretty standard in Sweden). Since then every Swedish port has gone on sympathy strikes, refusing to unload Tesla cars meant for the Swedish market. I think even some of our postal services have stopped sending Tesla branded replacement parts. Tesla has tried to circumvent this by going through Norway, Denmark and Finland... so now the ports in all of those three countries have joined in on the strike, and I think Germany is considering it. I really hope we don't give up until they've agreed to sign the collective agreement, because that man legitimately needs to be humbled. And if this ends with Elon pulling out of Sweden... honestly, I think we're better off for it.

"The rest of us still call it twitter" is highly accurate

“And even then, it could have been a text 🏡 🔥 “ 😂

How is it possible that a company can deny access to state inspectors? That's insane.

I have to disagree with one thing you said, John. The turning point moment, at least for me, wasn't the pandemic lockdowns. It was in 2018 when he called that rescue diver "pedo" on Twitter. THAT was the moment I knew what musk really was.

It is, as always, absolutely stunning how John nails it to the point where we choke on our laughter and realise just how serious things are getting...

Technically, alcohol is not a solution. It is a solvent. It would only be a solution if there was an otherwise solid chemical dissolved in it.

Love that John posed that the fight between Zuck and Elon be in a volcano, and Zuck is currently building a supervillain base in one. Perfect.
