A Whiff of Musk

 

For some reason, Elon Musk has decided to ally himself with a white nationalist supposed billionaire US candidate for president, which just seems so out of place for a billionaire silver spoon immigrant from South Africa who thinks he wants to be DD Hariman and probably just wants a Space Force uniform. Is it the fascism? Is it the gimmicky anti-trans scapegoating that tries to amplify a """"problem"""" where no real problem exists? 

Is it the desire to keep really lucrative government contracts that might be in doubt because of various levels of fuckery? 

Shit I dunno. But instead of thinking about that really hard and popping a blood vessel about what he's done to Twitter, which is where I live, and which I will never call "X: because that is stupid, and undoes a really great cohesive social media theme, with the birdhouses and "Tweets" and other things that all kind of were bird-related, he just made everything dumb and generic and let Nazis post everywhere--I'm thinking about how Musk might be inviting himself to go to prison.

Because he's trying to buy votes and also has manufactured a fake Harris website and has also, too, has some kind of dumb lottery going and his GOTV thing is also not even effective and is really stupid.

No. Really. 


You might be saying "Whhhhhaaaaatttt?"  But Elon Musk, like Trump, occasionally over-promises and thinks things will happen that have no basis in the lived experiences of people who have actually really done business on this Big Blue Marble, our Home, Earth. And he says stupid and regrettable things

So he doesn't have a problem slinging Dominion lies. What could you fine him, that would hurt HIM? Literally? 

But you see him in the above picture, just cheerleading a man who is rapey, corrupt, occasionally mentally absent. Why oh why does Musk feel kindship here? 

You could fuck him up very badly, all my friends out there, by first making sure Trump loses, obviously. 

And then he probably gets charged with something he actually did and faces prison like any bitch who isn't worth over $200 Billion, because that's the way free societies actually work. He is counting on our society already being broken and hoping that being astonishingly rich preserves his ass from that. 

I would like to believe that in a functional democracy, it absolutely does not.

That, right there, will tell the whole story. If the billionaires are allowed to distort democracy to benefit themselves,then we may never again have a chance to say no.
