Inventor of the climb-and-drop method of tuberiding drives the anti-Musk crowd nuts…again!
Two days ago we welcomed news that surf icon ShaunTomson had set off leftists worldwide with his fulsome praise of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is also, like Tomson, a South African.
“Like him or not, he is a futurist and we better step there with our eyes open,” wrote the 1977 world surf champ, a man described by Matt Warshaw as an “Innovative and aristocratic regularfooter and inventor of the climb-and-drop method of tuberiding.”
Elon Musk haters quickly pounced on Tomson’s post.
For sure is a futurist, but he is also the one is also the one who spent words to support Alternative für Deutschland (AfD extreme right party, fascist/nazist) in Germany. Here in Europe the far right is growing, also in Italy, and this must be fought if we do not want history to repeat.
he’s destroying democracy in American…buying politicians to do his bidding. I wonder would you be ok with him doing that to your country…a place he left to become a US citizen
paving the road to dystopia. one crypto coin at a time. there’s nothing futuristic about a return to the late nineteenth century robber baron age. just because it looks futuristic doesn’t mean it is. a futurist is more like buckminster fuller or frank lloyd wright. musk is just a greedy douche. as long as humans don’t ride on his spaceships, designed and engineered by others with lack of attention to the kind of process required for man rated spaceflight, at least no one will get killed.
Shaun Tomson, who turns seventy this year, was off grid with his wife Carla when the sparks flew, and only saw the flames late yesterday when he quickly posted on Facebook.
“What a surprise about my last Elon Musk post – so much negative sentiment about this futurist-like him or hate him, you better take note of him,” Tomson wrote. “My mission is to spread a positive wave of hope and purpose around the world and bring people together through the Surfer’s Code so I was surprised with the darkness.”
And, then, Tomson delivered the sort of coupe de grace he used to reserve for his tour competitors.
“For all the Elon Musk haters out there and for his supporters too, here is a song that I wrote that you might enjoy – it is about hope and that’s what we all need in our divided and broken world.”
The song, Take Me Home, although not to be confused with the John Denver classic, is exhilarating and audacious. I defy the listener to come away with a mind unchanged.
And, yet, amid a sea of converts, all praising Shaun Tomson’s positivity, a few staunch holdouts.
A man who hordes wealth at the expense of the poor and aligns himself with the worst of us is no role model for the future of our planet.
if dystopia is the future then musk is a futurist.
go back to sa and stay out of US politics
are you now going to normalize his Hail Hitler salute? Sounds to me like you are being selective in where you want to seek your information. Are you normalizing his “freedom of speech” approach on his Social Media platform? Where you can’t criticize him but you can spread hate speech, misogyny, and racism?
Good luck with your soul, Shaun. What a disappointment you turned out to be.
Did song convert you?
Do you now believe Elon Musk is a man of infinite heart or do you believe he still dresses his foulness up in perfume and wit?
