Musk’s push for influence, including voicing policy ideas and taking credit for Trump’s win, has raised concerns about his motives and loyalty.

Please let them be too busy fighting amongst themselves these next four years they just are unable to get anything destructive done.

I am 100% in favor of teenage drama derailing their efforts to remove bodily autonomy from women.

That's the plan. But while the government is ineffective, big businesses will have free reign to fuck us over.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

True...but big business still needs us to buy their products, so we are of some use to them

At least that wouldn't be some new dystopian nightmare. Just the same old run of the mill dystopian nightmare we've already been living in.

Maybe Elon is playing a 5D chess long game to reduce Trumps harm and help humanity

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

He a) isn’t that smart and b) would have fucked that plan by handing him all the power with all that money and making the weird incel vote even more guaranteed.

Normally I would find humor in this statement. Not this regime, bro

5D chess to reduce harm done by Trump by.... Getting him elected??

I've actually had similar thoughts but the logic just doesn't add up...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

It doesnt add up yet

Maybe my 20yo mini dachshund is planning on producing a flux capacitor, but I'll believe that before i believe your fantasy.

Hopefully it’s only 2 years if dems can win back seats during the midterms

I’m sorry for being harsh, but the only reason the democrats exist is to slow down the fascists ever so slightly and then just peacefully hand over power to the fascists when they gain control again.

We need real change, the kind of change that only comes from a revolution. The democrats do not give a shit about you. They serve only the wealthy.

Stop believing their lies. Go out there and unionise!!
