It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others - be it sonsabitches GOP congresscritters and senators or Musk - rather than worry about keeping your job, paying the bills and making ends meet.
As far as I’m concerned, they can all die a painful death and I wouldn’t give the tiniest shit.
This is about paying bills.
Rumps agenda is going to end EV subsidies. Subsidies Tesla could use, maybe even needs. Without them Tesla could be in trouble, and by extension Musk would be.
Musk will be fine. He holds Trump by the balls because SpaceX holds the United States by the balls.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. trump is paying fast and loose with the standards of law and he has a history of going after his opponents. There are already grounds that can be exaggerated to strip Musk of US Citizenship. At that point a foreign national would be owning a company that has national defense impacts. The government could force a sale just like they are with TikTok.
Lol. This is a past time of every class, equally.
It is not, in fact, a pastime of every class equally. Considering that the capitalist class makes their entire living from controlling and intimidating workers into doing actual work for them, the capitalist class systemically and explicitly spends their whole lives bullying others and being so rich that bullying people is all they ever have to worry about. Obviously we have working class individuals who suck too, but bullying others is not a systemic feature of the working class.
Major party voters. Antiunion and union working class. Church, mosque and temple members (witch trials, inquisition, when people held a grudge and used these and police forces). Snitches. Attention seekers. You’re free to disagree, and I said what I said.
You have exhibited subsets of the working class, only some of which are obsessed with bullying. But even if for charitability’s sake we assume that all those subsets are hypothetically obsessed with bullying…you have not presented (1) a set of subsets that covers the entire working class, or (2) a mode of causality to suggest why this is a feature of the working class systemically, i.e. a reason why such a covering exists.
