After all these years of America placing puppet governments all over Latin America, Elon decided to get one for America
Even though I live in the US, it is kinda nice to see this country finally get its comeuppance for a century of ruining the homes of my brethren. 'Oh, your democratically elected government or leader is to the left of Ronald [the Fucker] Reagan? You get a coup. You get an assassination. All of you get a fascist murderous right wing military dictatorship that will kill, torture, SA, and steal the children of tens of thousands of people, set back the economy and lower the standard of living for generations. We will feel just a fraction of the pain caused by our government and the people who supported, and still support, its policies.
Weird to have a “But” in that title. An “And” or no connecting word at all would make more sense. “But” suggests it was okay to influencer lawmakers if only he was truthful instead of spreading misinformation.
If Musk had legitimate criticism of the bill grounded in facts, then I believe it would have been perfectly reasonable to make an attempt to try to influence lawmakers. The issue here was the use of misinformation, influencing lawmakers to make decisions contrary to what a factual argument would lead them to have made.
Lawmakers should be able to think for themselves, decide for themselves without listening to what Elon has to say. If not, then that’s a whole different issue, one that we shouldn’t blame Elon for.
You guys gonna do something about this billionaire foreigner influencing your government or is it just as exciting to cuck for him while you starve as for less-rich people?
What can we do? The people with the majority of the money and power believe he’s the second coming of tech Jesus. My own father, who cannot conceive of affording a cybertruck, took it personally when I mentioned the factual issues those rusting eyesores have. What am I to do against such reckless and willful ignorance?
I bet more ineffectual peaceful protest will impress the rich and powerful.
