Ted Cruz begs Americans stop being so nasty to Elon Musk
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/30444456
“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.
Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.
Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.
Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Honestly, if Ted Cruz said something nice about me, it'd just make me feel dirty.
And we're talking full on "covered in the slime of a putrid and somehow racist land slug" levels of dirty.
Well, I'm not American, so I'm going to keep calling him a nazi piece of shit
And if would be doing so even if I was unfortunate enough to be American
Non-fisting-enthusiast American here. I concur.
Calling him something that he is not would be unfair. That's why calling him nazi piece of shit it's ok.
Will no one think of the billionaires?
don't throw our trash into the ocean! Compost. then eat the veggies. It's the only environmentally friendly thing to do.
Eat the rich!
Don't eat junkfood...
I'm telling ya, compost and eat the veggies.
The grind into a nice paste, spread it on crackers. I like Triscuits
The environmental cost of improperly disposing of billionaires is far-and-away offset by the very lack of the billionaire.
I think we can eat that cost and enjoy the benefits.
While perhaps inconsequential to the benefit accrued by removing the billionaire…
Disposal methods aren’t weighted against that, they’ve already been removed. So we’re selecting between various disposal methods, and really, we have no reason to not be green about it.
Yes, i just thought we were speaking in the context of a certain submersible.
Aka "The Billionaire Waste Footprint"
When a billionaire reaches the seafloor it's referred to as a billionairefall and it's actually an important aquatic ecosystem. A single billionaire can feed dozens of different species including fish, crabs and some marine worms that only feed on vile billionaire carcasses.
Unfortunately these species are struggling right now because we aren't throwing enough billionaires into the ocean. So please, do it for the worms.
One might argue that the red mist they introduced to the ocean helped to support the local biosphere, and since every piece of the "sub" that was able to be located was recovered, that the whole event was a net gain for that area of the sea.
Come on now, we don't need to sink to their level
When I think of who belongs in jail.
I think of the billionaires.
Poor people get all the breaks.
elon musk is a nazi, so naturally ted cruz lives to kiss his ass.
Real rich coming from the “fuck your feelings” crowd. Get fucked, Raphael Cruz. We’re not stopping until he’s yeeted into the sun.
And then some.
He thinks Americans should express gratitude to Musk? For doing what, exactly?
not dropping a Starship on them?
Wait until you hear the shit Trump says about your dad and your wife, Ted, being so concerned with mean people and all.
Musk cos played as a politician so he could lift sanctions and policies in the way of his companies. Now that he's done that he'll go back forcing himself on his secretaries
But think of all the food he's doing? He'll probably buy them a horse first.
Ted Cruz looks like his soul left his body long ago, and now he’s just a skeleton wearing a skin bag exclusively saying things nobody with a soul ever could or would.
I do not like that man, Ted Cruz
I do not like him in the news
I do not like his stupid words
That spew from him like verbal turds
I pray to hear the day he dies
For once, a good, Ted Cruz surprise
What a wanker!
He thinks we should be nice to Elon but he has no problem with people like Trump calling his wife ugly.
Well his wife isn't a billionaire, so
I don't think people are nasty enough to him. Until he's a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.
The only reason we aren't far, far nastier to all of these criminals is because it's illegal. But now that laws are becoming optional and arbitrary, soon we won't have to worry about how nasty we get.
They will have to worry, though.
And it seems they are worrying.
He made a nazi salute, dumb skull.
I'm not sure Ted has a problem with that
We know he doesn’t have a problem with that, he also doesn’t have a problem with an insurrection
Fled Cruz is about the only person more deserving of nastiness.
This really seems like the Onion
Listen, I'll gladly stop being nasty to Elon Musk. Just as soon as he kills himself.
Not a chance Rafael. You and the muskrat need to go the way of the dodo. Eaten to extinction.
This guy is absolutely desperate for a friend who might be able to help him politically. Anyone to get him on tv. He’s like a scab that prople keep picking. Loathesome human.
“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

The sleazy used car sales man stands up for a car company CEO.
This checks out
Fuck you, Elon
And fuck you too, Ted
Let me consider this. I've considered this, go fuck yourself.
Can we just slaughter these people already? Take what they own and redistribute the wealth?
Fuck you Rafael Cruz and Elon Musk
Ticking the "nasty to elon musk" dial up every time I hear this.
Is this the snowflake I have been hearing so much about? Why does he look like he is about to cry?
No
I would tell this asshat to go back to Alberta, where he was born, but I would not wish such harm on Canadians.
So instead, I will link a now somewhat out of date, but otherwise fairly comphrensive youtube video explaining how shitty this guy is.
Renegade Cut - Nobody Likes Ted Cruz
He is a slimy worm who believes in nothing, but just appoints himself the mouthpiece of the whatever the crazy republican flavor of this particular election season is.
Funnily enough alberta is considered the redneck of canada, I doubt he would feel out of place there
Why hasn't this shitstick been deported yet? And why is Rubio still here also?
Don't put this evil on them. They were justifiably worried about Brittney
Better?
I can't say "yes" because I refuse to give Ted Cruz positive reinforcement.
But it's appropriate.
Pretty pretty please be nice to poor little billionaire, PLEASE!
Stop having free will. Use AI.
I'd be happy to start being more nasty to Ted Cruz instead.
Instead? Nah, "as well" ;)
Anthropomorphic slime mold asks disgusted public to treat anthropomorphic slug better. Film at 11
Hey, what did slugs and slime molds ever do to you??
Fine then I am going to be even nastier to fElon.
His name is Rafael.
That sure doesn't sound American. What is that, French?
Rafael is a name of Hebrew origin.
Cruz is a Spanish name.
Ted is the name of a serial killer.

"I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz." - Al Franken
Ha! No.
The NAZI needs to be driven out of this country. It is nearly destroyed because of him.
ICE really needs to come pick his ass up.
Nope
Wow, Cruz must really loathe him.
Fuck you, Ted.
"World's richest man needs richer :c "
why use his preferred name?
his name is Raphael Cruz.
Technically his name is Rafael Edward Cruz and it's not that uncommon for public figures to go by their middle name or a diminutive thereof🤷
That being said, fuck Cruz with a rusty rail spike.
If they don't respect the preferred names of trans people, then they shouldn't be afforded the same respect in return.
Ted's a diminutive of any of those? I thought it was almost exclusively for Theodore.
It's of Theodore AND Edward
Other examples of famous Tedwards include
Can we get other countries to deny these sycophants entry for being spineless?
Smd cry bullies
Smd? Shaking my dick?
The only way to be more hated is to get Ted Cruz to defend him...
This dude loves having his face suctioned to someone's ass. Really is a slime ball.
no
Elon musk is a shitty person with a shitty agenda.
So, no.
On Christmas night, does Ted Cruz leave a can of beans out in case Rorschach visits his home?
If Ded Cruz asks for something ... my automatic reaction is to do the exact opposite
Thanks Ded ... I'm going to hate Muskrat harder
If these people like the work he is doing, that immediately makes it bad and highly likely unlawful to the rest of us out here in actual real society. Also, this guy not understanding why a thing is has got to be the least shocking thing in the world. Not a guy with a finger on the pulse of his constituents, let alone the nation.
Don't worry, there's plenty for you too.
If we take a small, pause from treating xelon like the scum he always was, we will be sure to direct all that energy your way ted head.
massive waste and enormous cost got me. this is just an appeal to feelings as always.
Remember when Rafael Cruz had that booger on his lip during a speech? I haven't forgotten. He ate a booger during a debate.
I thought it was a tonsil stone or something
Special snowflakes.... fuck them all to hell.
I don’t believe in killing billionaires. We can easily afford to build an oubliette with the recovered wage theft.
He's jealous?
