“The matrix.” Dude, you are a billionaire. You hang out with billionaires, and the most powerful public officials in the world. You are the matrix. Fuck off with this gaslighting fake-populist bullshit.
When assholes like Musk and Friedman say garbage like this, they are advocating for taking away people’s power. People as collective wield power through government. They want to, instead, concentrate power in a small ruling elite class of oligarchs. It’s fundamentally un-democratic, and un-American.
Every person that buys Tesla supports this fascist loser.
I saw a lovely bumper sticker on a Tesla the other day “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy”
Should have said… “For sale… Elon Musk is a fascist.”
Also, remember he believes in that “simulation theory” nonsense. And the reason tech bros like him believe in it is that it gives them the excuse to treat everyone else like shit. Because, you see, they’re NPCs. Unlike Elon. He’s got full awareness programming.
I’m still baffled by how ‘deregulation’ isn’t an extremely alarming word, not just in the current year or era, but overall.
Not to mention that in the current context only rich people want deregulation & it’s clear why (to pollute more, hurt workers through wages and work conditions more, pay less taxes, and to be able to deal with competitors as they wish with monopoly being the actively pursued goal).The chances of over-regulation hurting the people are really small.
Over- or under- regulation isn’t the same as good or bad regulation. You can have good and bad regulations both in the sense of standards and methodology, as well as in the sense of bad implementation.
Fuck consumers workers and the environment, more PROFITS baby!!
For some reason Republicans can’t see that regulations tend to happen when companies fail to act responsibly in favor of profits.
Deregulation of financial markets caused the financial crisis, because the markets exploited it for new “tricks”, that were irresponsible.
Deregulation of consumer protections clearly harm consumers, and the same with environment.
There are also standards regulations that stimulate competition, and greatly increase industry efficiency.We have regulations because, spoiler, things used to be unregulated and they fucked up enough people demanded the government set some fucking rules.
The regulations weren’t in the founding documents of the country. They came to be as the industries started exploiting and killing people.
Those morons hate regulations, but refuse to by foreign stuff because it “isn’t as safe and well made as American made”…you know, where we have tons of regulations…
Not just that, they is an underlying racist bias to that. That Asian made products from overseas are cheap because they care less or have less pride in their work than American made. They think that we as Americans for some reason have a greater baseline pride that permeates through everything made here.
LOL that’s a good point. Such a double standard.
Yes, lets let companies deregulate. Boar’s Head is only killing a few people with listeria, imagine the hundreds they’d kill with fewer regulations.
LOL, motherfucker still thinks he’s Neo! 🤣
Instead he’s the Merovingian, an annoying poser who’s an obstacle for actual heros.
I don’t think the Merovingian was that stupid?
I mean he practically goads Persephone into betraying him, that’s not very clever.
Sounds like something a terminally online incel would come up with.
So, Elon?
I wonder how he squares the circle of the fact that The Matrix was written by two trans women.
Red pillers always try to deny that their chosen metaphor is really a metaphor for coming out as trans.
Steady and ever increasing doses of ketamine.
This fucker would look at the DMV and fire 90% of the staff to improve efficiency. Also it’s now called DMX.
Y’all gonna make me lose my mind up in here
New DMV/DMX theme song
Quite a few places already don’t call it the DMV. It’s called the DDS here. Department of Driver Services.
I’ve been saying for a while that the giant covid bailouts for businesses are exactly what will happen if trump is re-elected. He’s so afraid of not being able to say “best economy ever” he’ll drive up inflation to make failing megacorps slightly more profitable to shareholders insatiable greed.
If you think house prices are unaffordable now, consider how much extra money rich people will throw around after another round of tax cuts for themselves.
Conservative policies in any dimension of society are hostile to great swaths of the population affected by them.
The only reason people support conservatives is because of culture war bullshit, which is used to brainwash them by constantly making them afraid of each other.
No one sensible should be voting conservative under a late-stage capitalism scenario, which is where we are
That these cretins are still clinging to their fucking Matrix / red pill metaphor like a decade after the Wachowskis came out as trans should tell you everything you need to know about how much internal sense any of their ideas make.

Because if there’s one thing Elon is really good at, it’s being efficient.
Look how efficient he is at sitting around tweeting stupid shit all day.
Ugh, this guy…
Look at this MF, he was weird before Vance made it even more uncomfortable
I don’t understand the power of trump over this guy. Isn’t he richer than trump? Didn’t trump posted a derogatory tweet about him saying something like “he’ll kneel if I’ve asked”
Also lol at MaTRiX
Trump is just a tool like himself, but trump is a favorite of much richer than him putin.
BTW, Elon publicly showed off behavior when there were those boys caught up in the cave, but he really did a massive switch right in the middle of 2020 where Tesla stock got an unexplained price spike. It feels like foreign governments put some money there. I’m wondering if the bonus he got recently was getting that money out.
Lol, it was not unexplained. They’d gotten over the model 3 problems looming over the company and were starting to bring in very high profits per car as well as having profitable quarters. Once that happened, that also made entry into the s&p500 a possibility which if happens, typically also drives the stock price up as billions of *(dollars of) shares get bought up for ETFs and removed from circulation due to being held longer and not traded.
It was obvious to anyone watching it that something was going to happen IF the model 3 was a success and they became profitable. The risk was were they going to pull it off, and there was legitimately a point where they almost didn’t.
As soon as those crazy high margins dropped off years later, the stock came down hard.
Edit: they’d also been getting credit rating increases prior to this, which was a lead up to the S&P500 inclusion, which were bullish signals.
Model 3 was already being produced and was successful before the pandemic.
I remember the explanation given at the time the stock price jumped by the analysis was large order placed by Hertz (which was fresh after decorating bankruptcy).
That explanation made no sense to me.
“How close was Tesla from bankruptcy when bringing the Model 3 to mass production?” asked Twitter follower “Zain”.
“Closest we got was about a month. The Model 3 ramp was extreme stress & pain for a long time — from mid 2017 to mid 2019. Production & logistics hell,” said Musk.
Like I said, by 2020 it was going well and turning high profits. And then everything else I said adding further onto it. Hertz was a catalyst, but all of what i said above was what was actually going on.
Sounds like Elon took a little too much ketamine today.
Every day from what I understand. Especially at parties.
