    And here I didn’t think I could hate this guy any more. Truly a vile piece of shit. I’m glad I never bought one of his cars and well he’s at that company, I never will.

    The only person you can trust with your car is the same person that tried to steal it from you.

    I love this petty fatalism, like more immigrants voting is the apocalypse and the Republic Party can’t possibly just… accommodate that? And adapt?

    Same with a 51st state.

    If they don’t like it, well, they can lose more elections.

        I’m a foreigner NOT living in the US, so my opinions may or may not be valid, idk:

        Musk, asshole as he may be, is an example of something that’s always been going on in the US:

        Immigrants come there looking for better lives, work hard, and many lead exceptional lives. The US has always benefitted from this, and it’s a key reason for its’ economic dominance over the last hundred-ish years.

        However, he wants to close the door after him because other people improving their lives scares him. And people voting for slightly more humane conditions scares him too. Think about it, he’ll have fewer billions added to his net worth if he has to treat his employees like people.

        He’s simultaneously a symbol of everything that’s amazing about the US and also of everything that is horrible about it.

    Every GOP accusation is projection. If Trump is elected, this will be the last election. Trump says so himself:

    “Speaking to the faithful, the Republican nominee repeated his ominous prediction, promising, “You know what, It’ll be fixed! It will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” he said as he shook his head and placed his hand on the pledge position on the left side of his chest.” source

    The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO claimed the Democratic Party would naturalize enough non-citizens as voters

    Naturalized non-citizens like… Elon Musk?

        Well ackschuallllly what he meant was that no other party will stand a chance so it will effectively be a one party system as so many “liberal” immigrants will become citizens that they’ll outnumber Republicans everywhere.

          Even if that were true, which is truly ridiculous, new factions would pop up. If it swayed so far left that the Democrats always won, all the further left people would demand all the things they’ve been left without just to keep fascists from winning.

          Basically, it would just be a leftward shift of the Overton window, which is LONNNG overdue. But it certainly wouldn’t be the end of elections, that’s stupid.

            And that right there is why we need a sweeping blue victory. Kill off the crazy GOP of today, and let the left split into true left, and more traditional conservatives, or even center.

      Sweet Jesus, I wish that Democratic voters and politicians were unified enough that if we had a solid majority in this country that we could be considered a one-party state. Even if we somehow did manage to finagle things such that we won the next election 60-40 or more, it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that we would immediately celebrate by turning on each other like dogs. The neolibs can’t stand the hippies. The hippies can’t stand the tech liberals. Most of the people pushed left by identifying with one oppressed minority group or another are in a coalition approximately as stable as the Balkans in 1913.

      Democrats’ favorite activity is infighting. We like it more than winning elections. The times when we actually manage to get our shit together enough to win are the exception to the rule.

      Tbf, i doubt the gov would keep doing business with him if the country decreased privatization and corruption. So him backing the GOP is actually the best move for him to get the most power.

      When all else fails, just tell flat out lies.

      It’s the Roy Cohen way. He “educated” the weak, weird, old orange felon.

    Lolol. For HIS ass. Watch all these worms try to expatriate their money and businesses to Russia before the “librals terx my sterks”.

    Fuck you, Elon. I hope all the bad shit you’re bringing upon yourself ends up being the worst outcome it could possibly be.
