Michael Keaton Warns Trump, Musk Supporters 'They're Not Your Bros'

Source: Huff Post

Oct 24, 2024, 02:32 PM EDT


Michael Keaton wants fans of Donald Trump and Elon Musk to know the duo is not on their side.

The “Batman” actor delivered a blunt message to male voters in a Tuesday Instagram video where he warned people about the former president and the Tesla billionaire’s true feelings about the masses.

“You know, for some of you folks who, guys, mostly, I guess, who are thinking about attending a rally with Musk and Trump, they don’t really respect you,” Keaton said in the video.

“They laugh at you behind your back,” the longtime Democrat continued. “They think you’re stupid. They don’t wanna hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you, they’re not your bros.”

Good luck with that. If they do not believe that their lords and saviors love them, where are they? They cannot possibly venture into that area. No, no, no, they love us! Nobody else does, but THEY love us!

Trump and Musk are a fictional caricature. There's nothing manly about either of them.

I like Dave Bautista as Drax in the Marvel movies. Seeing this video last week made me like him even more. 😂

Accurate. I’ve said the same thing so many times I can’t even remember how many times, he says I could shoot somebody on fifth Avenue left unsaid is, because you’re so fucking stupid, you’ll still vote for him. Just fucking morons.

when you have to struggle to make ends meet, we'll talk. until then go back to your mansion.

Anyone who makes more than $10M a year needs to be taxed 100%.

You aren't our "bro" either.

First of all, does Michael Keeton make more than $10M per year? Proof?

And just how would your tax system work, you said he should be taxed 100%, is that on all of his earnings? (you know, the earnings you have proof of). His net worth?

If one is struggling to make ends meet, rather than having Mr. Keeton speak out for them (you know, a well known person vs. some poster on a web site), he should just shut up and go home?

He is on our side politically, but according to you he's too rich to be of any worth.

Again, wow.

I see I wasn't clear. What I meant was, should he be taxed on his net worth in addition to his annual net income. I had already looked up his net worth and found it to be in the $40-50 million range, as did you.

The Bidens and the Harris's both seem to be in the $10 million net worth range, apparently they should also head back to their 'mansions' and not speak to anyone until they are struggling to make ends meet? Where do YOU draw the line?

from suburban Pittsburgh and had 6 siblings. So I expect he didn't grow up a nepo baby millionaire like 45. Here is a recap (Wikipedia seemed to have a lot of this verbatim) - https://positivelypittsburgh.com/pittsburgh-profiles-michael-keaton-burgh-man/

ANYONE who chooses to pursue the entertainment field WILL spend significant time "struggling to make ends meet" at the start of their careers because entertainers are a dime a dozen.

I have been a long time fan of his and I remember when he was filming the movie "Clean and Sober" right near where I worked and a bunch of us went out during our lunch break to walk over to the diner where they were filming.

He's good peeps.

Donald Trump is not governed what is best for America
or
what is best for this followers
but
his hatreds.

His hatred of Obama is the reason he wants to destroy Obamacare or ACA.
Although, destroying it will negatively impact his own followers.
