Bro we couldn’t even get people to wear masks and get free tests and vaccines without triggering white outrage, how you think actual financial hardship is going to go over with these people?
They’ll scream for blood, but it won’t be the blood of billionaires.
They own the largest communication networks across the globe, both traditional and digital. They have access to the most cutting edge AI technology that’s fast becoming indistinguishable from reality. They’re cooperating with the man in charge of the most elaborate troll farm ever created.
They’ll use that power to keep breeding angry, violent reactionaries who blame minorities and swallow whatever their cult leader tells them to. But that will be rookie shit a decade from now. Forget social media sock puppets, our entire chain of knowledge is about to be undermined. Bullshit, agenda pushing academic papers will be published, filled with bullshit, agenda pushing statistics, fawned over by bullshit, agenda pushing media and cited in bullshit, agenda pushing books. It will spew out at a rate far faster than anyone can possibly debunk and even if they try, they’re indistinguishable from the AI-powered, sock puppet “experts” they’re arguing with.
Laws, regulations and life-altering punishments are the only way to stop them so they’re working hard to ensure that never happens.
In an alternate universe, conmen Trump and Musk used their sole talent of convincing fools to wear masks.
He’ll immediately blame Biden for all the suffering he causes.
“Some of you may die, but that is a risk I am willing to make”
When can we feed Elon to a dragon?
What middle class?
Trump is better at this than Musk…
It will be a beautiful necessary. Everyone will love the carnage. We will destroy America bigly. Like never before. The radical left democrats will hate it, but it will be glorious. Trust me.

… there’s no guillotine emojis yet
What even is that face emoji doing?
I like how you improvised.
Edit: 🗡️🫠. I wanted to try and I like this.
That was my other choice
The fucking gall this billionaire POS has to utter the phrase “live within our means.”
Nothing about trump is necessary
Wait till he hears how necessary it is for life to get harder for billionaires.
Harder - lol. He’ll have to settle for two 180 foot yachts instead of three.
The worst part is–it’s really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.
Personally I’m in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn’t strictly necessary.

UBI actually makes billionaires richer, even with higher taxes. Money trickles back up to them. The problem with UBI is that it redistributes power, and the powerful want all of their power. Wealth “needs” to buy power.
That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.
Wouldn’t be the first civilization that disappeared because the elite doesn’t want to compromise and give up status. It’s a constant in history.
just wait till they outlaw protests and impose curfews
That’s so 2020. Oh, that was under trump rule. Just a small sample of what’s to come if he gets into office again.
The French found a solution some time ago, maybe history really repeats.
There are now a lot of people who think we should be nice to billionaires because they also could become one sometime in the future
Not it’s not
Necessary for Elon and trump to evade prison sentences.
These shitbags are trading the health of the majority to evade repercussions for their crimes (of which there are many).
Drone strike please.
I wonder if when he says “necessary” he’s referring to some longtermism weird BS.
I mean, he’s definitely referring to some weird BS. But I wonder whether specifically it’s longtermism BS.
I read recently “On Freedom” by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).
Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.
It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country’s wealth.
He is, though he’s wrong about Trump’s plans being anything beneficial in the long term. But even what he’s saying about any part of it being harmful is a contradiction of Trump’s claims about the economy
He’s not wrong, he’s bald faced lying. The two are not equivalent.
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME HURT YOU WHEN YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH?
Electively suffering hardship? Billionaires first, set a good example for the rest of us, and the hardship can trickle down.
No, some of US will need to suffer, but that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. Him suffering isn’t acceptable.
There is no middle class. There are workers and owners. If you own real estate and stonks you are still a worker unless you can live off of just investments. This is designed to corrupt and neuter you. You have enough skin in the game of the owners to not want to oppose them, but not enough to actually be them. Unless you hope to retire, at which point you make the transition from working class to owning class, but only at the end of your life, if you even make it that far, and often owning very little.
“designed” is a bit much but it sure does play into their hands.
Next thing you know, the “president” will be saying to “eat bitter”.
