Let me hear your best conspiracy theories about why Elon is so politically active... Is it all for his own greed, ego... Or is there someone in the shadows playing puppeteer?
It's always been my stance that he is the ultimate trojan horse.
@FranciscoScaramanga trojan cause til EVERYONES old twitter accounts are brought back then its just the same bullshit. He showed his hand on the H1b with the go fuck yourself comment. But hes in the inner circle, hopefully there are some safeguards that are hidden to trip him up if need be.
@FranciscoScaramanga regulatory capture
@FranciscoScaramanga if you already have money the next game is power / influence.
I think he is an oddity mostly in the fact that he decided to do the power and influence game in public, and not from the shadows. Possibly because he is relatively young and doesn’t know better yet, or possibly because of ego, or some combination of those.
@FranciscoScaramanga
I think the connection to big business and govt has reached incestuous levels. The govt has become so bloated and so into everything, that it's almost necessary to stay on their good side/suck up to them. So all this "change" coming from the mega rich class, is just them following the prevailing winds. Though, I do think EM is really in the free speech class, due to personal history and I think the woke stuff irrated him for the same reason
They are loyal to themselves.

Exactly they govern, nearly exclusively, for their favorite groups at a huge cost in quality of life for everybody else we are supposed to be grateful to be able to live to serve our betters.

Here in the US they talk about "Our Democracy." It is "their" democracy, do you really expect them to include the plebs?
@FranciscoScaramanga Silly valley execs are all rent-seekers to the last. Elon is no exception.
Battery boy’s gravy train was ending with Biden/Kamala, so this was ingratiating himself to the inevitable. Buying “broadcast news 2.0” was part of that. Elon only partially understood what he was buying. Inserting himself into DOGE with with that smooth talking ABCD was also planned. They haven’t been “former leftists” for that long. (1/4)
Quid pro quo for elevating Trump & going against his other big tech friends was that he wanted a gorillion H1Bs. My theory is that Trumpy privately pushed back so he “went public” but wasn’t expecting the backlash from STEM/technie parents… (2/4)
So why the backlash? Because “big tech DEI/SJW employees” that censor normies aren’t considered human. Other STEM employees, like the ones from SpaceX, however *are*. Those that pushed back lived thru one generation of the H1B debacle. Their kids are graduating college, having those kids “compete” against a gorillion jets and a few Chinese spies is unacceptable. (3/4)
Total mask-off for battery boy, he then had to pivot to “rape gangs in England” in a total “look squirrel” moment. Did it work? Tune in next week! (4/4)
@FranciscoScaramanga I really think he is doing it for shits and giggles, just to wind up the far left
