Elon Musk says the downfall of the Republican party will be hateful racists and calls for their removal from the party.

:snoop:and what should the "left" do?
Class analysis, as any real left should do.

Point out the contradictions on the other side (political weaponization of racist affects by the elites, neoliberal dismantling of the American education system, cynical use of vulnerable immigrants for wage suppression and control over the workers...) through that true leftist lense and collect the disenchanted.

That'd require the "left" to really care about those things though :pachaha:

the left is not a borg like structure

there is about 2000 different permutations of leftism, all with their relative differences.


You should do that class analysis and put it up on youtube, but pointing to blackness in the sky and say "do something" will not be productive.

The Truth
Yup. Like I read right now they’re trying to put in an “investigation” into D.O.G.E’s responsibilities because nobody on the outside knows what it is.



Those guys can basically do what they want. If they took another Cabinet position then their scope is limited. Everyone else is happy being “rewarded” by the titles of their roles, but those two went for pure power.

It was one of the first positions announced and how quick it came together indicates to me that it was carefully planned by them. I remember that Trump even told Elon that he’d have some high-position role on the cabinet (can’t remember what it was) before Elon basically bought him out. They had the choice of all those other roles easy and turned them down.

They didn’t want a job, they want to run the whole thing.

1000 IQ play by Elon and Vivek imo.
I will say, as fukked up as all this is, this was pretty impressive by Elon.

Idk if it was planned or if he just saw an opportunity (probably the opportunity, since he is an opportunist that doesn’t come up with his own ideas) but it is kind of impressive.

Basically created a backdoor to the President. Similar to other billionaire companies though (oil, energy, etc).

Yup. Like you mentioned earlier, dude bought the entire Trump Campaign as an investment, that investment kept a lot of people out of jail.

A lot of people owe Elon big time. Elon wasn’t voted President though. However, the President owes Elon.

How do you get power then if you’re not the President? You create a role that has undefined and loose guidelines. All those other Cabinet roles are too constrained. Department of Government Efficiency sounds like it sits above a lot of Federal roles and nobody knows the extent.

Then you throw in all the other shyt:
The defense/aerospace industry wants to work with Musk’s tech.

Twitter dominates a large part of social media and the news. Keeps a lot of Republicans relevant. Where are they going to post if they don’t have a Twitter account? Truth Social?

Dude is the richest person on the planet.

That’s all shyt the Republican Party gravitates to and again, he kept a lot of them out of investigations and jail. People in Congress on that side of there aisle are very glad he’s there.

That’s the U.S President right there. Lowkey that’s probably why Trump seems less energetic. Partly due to his age I’m sure, but it’s probably a large part because he knows Elon is basically running things (and he gets to basically chill).

Elon talking about going to war over h1b :laff:



This is what ALL corporations want though. Hiring foreigners for less and outsourcing for pennies :mjpls:

At the end of the day, the power play is to focus on saving the buck by ridding the American people of their labors, push for AI, explode the bridge between middle class and the 1 percent, and push for an alternative currency to avoid a massacre once MAGAts realize that they were dumb stupid pawns in the scheme of things.
