    You mean the “fuck immigrants” crowd isn’t down with ol Musky’s plan to bring in brown immigrants? Who’d a thunk it.

      Who cares what color they are. There have been enough layoffs that there is no need to import any engineers. Besides wanting to exploit them.

        As long as you understand Immigrant, and every form of legal immigration, means ‘‘fucking messicans’’ then yes. They hate immigrants. Musk just needs to tell them he’ll only import their replacements from sterling white countries and they’ll calm down.

      Ah, the pre-new-season-recap/where-are-they-now of the utter madness that was The Trump Administration: The Ultimate Chaos.

      What will they do in the next season? Just how hard their asses will be bitten? Nobody knows!

      Seriously, though, like everyone else, I was highly worried about what the fuck the re-election of Trump will mean. But then I remembered all of the total fuck-ups they did last time around, and I turned my worries, like, 1% down. All I’m hoping right now is that some conservative loonie group goes all in on “finish building the Wall” and it’ll be a shitshow as usual.

    lmao if that’s true he blundered this one so hard. either he doubles down and doesn’t reinstate premium, causing people to get annoyed at him and potentially leave. or he does reinstate it and has essentially lost control over his platform.

    seems like the former so far, his last tweets are full of responses just talking about this.

      It seems like he’s demonitizing accounts who aren’t even tweeting him directly, just talking about him. It doesn’t matter what he does at this point, he’s just identified himself as attacking Trump stans. They won’t trust him again.

      He will back down, though. Not only does he have the same crippling need to be loved as Trump does, but these lamprays srr probably generating a significant fraction of Twitter’s revenue these days.

          He doesn’t need Twitter revenue financially, but he needs Twitter to be profitable psychologically. There’s no way his ego will let Twitter not be a “business win”.

          That’s why he loves AI and hates wikipedia. He hates transparency and would be perfectly ok with only the appearance of a grass root movement. He doesn’t want to be loved, he just wants to make it seem that way so the average uninformed reader believes it. Then his plan is to essentially Black Mirror Nosedive away the opposition from relevance, soon with a position of power as well as wealth.

    I suppose, in a way, it’s kind of refreshing to see conservatives have to face the kind of hypocrisy that we leftists see every day out of the supposed liberals in this country, but objectively, did they really think putting billionaires in charge of their party would mean less exploitation of the immigration and visa process? It’s easier to rob people of their labor when they live in uncertainty after all.

    Musk wasn’t giving out millions of dollars out of the goodness of his heart. It was an investment, just like people who pay the “speaking fees” of prominent Democrats. They’re all grifters.

      Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they’ll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I’m sure they’ll try, but god, I hope there’s still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.

          Im not sure how effective that will be. Part of the reason they are turning on each other is that everyone else has been so quiet since the election. If there were mass protests right now they would all be united behind having BLM declared a terrorist movement or something, not focused on each other.

        I share your sentiment but I think they will attempt to out cunt each other on being vile, petty children. The will try to be as punitive as possible with policy and neglectful in their duties to facilitate the mechanisms of functional government. And, yes maybe not completely because they are probably not even competent enough to do that.

        I’m sorry my American friends but you’re in for some catastrophic shitfuckery.

      These people always fall in line. They will again. They’re proud of being useful idiots. They’ll convince themselves that this immigration is necessary for the economy, but Trump will stop the bad immigration or whatever. And Trump’s people will brutalize people coming from Mexico which will also sate some of their bloodlust. They’ll fall in line just as soon as someone tells them what to think.

        The free speech Musk believes in is his ironclad right to speak. To him, contradiction is not speech, and he seems baffled whenever it happens, like he’s just been slapped with a fish.

          Musk isn’t confused at all. He’s been lying about believing in free speech this whole time. He’s an oligarch—literally the richest person in the world—who bought 𝕏itter in order to control speech.

            Just to be clear, I’m not trying to say that Musk is confused about what free speech is – I’m saying he’s confused when he hears ideas that conflict with his worldview. He cannot process the idea that contradiction of his beliefs should even be possible and that drives him wild with rage.

            I think it’s important to understand that Musk doesn’t think of most other human beings as “people” and he does not consider what they say as “speech”. His worldview is entirely solipsistic and the only speech that exists is the speech he produces and the reflections of it that come back to him. To Musk, everything else is the braying of animals with diseased minds.

                It’s not that specific. It fits a lot of Social Darwinists that were born into money. Most just have the good sense to keep their voices down in public.

                  The solipsism and all this kind of stuff is very specific to me. Just because it “fits” doesn’t mean it’s actually the case though. Do you personally know people like this, that also keep their voices down? Like, are there any examples to share?
