Since the online controversy over Elon Musk's position on H1B visas exploded late last week, it would appear that Musk's already-fragile mental state---which has been teetering precariously on the edge of outright insanity for a long time---has finally tipped. Apparently without sleep and probably bolstered with Amphetamines, the Tech Lord Supreme has been banning anybody from X who questions his will and posting hysterical outbursts about "going to war with MAGA" and other such nonsense. Yesterday, Musk got caught using a voice-changer to fake an interview with himself and today unveiled a new online persona:
There are times when one just doesn't know what to say. It isn't as though nobody knew; although that sentiment is floating around the Controlled Opposition comments sections a lot. Like this specimen, for example, which has gone viral:
Like many others, 'DRG' no doubt was quite happy with other people being denied employment or getting censored---it just wasn't supposed to happen to him. The only advice that I give to someone like this is to remember that facts don't care about your feelings; and that his son should remember his personal brand and not protest too much because Big Tech has that covered too. But on the positive side, with the mass-deportations that Conservatism Incorporated and the Prison-Industrial Complex have planned from Day One, there will plenty of jobs for Junior washing dishes, picking strawberries, mixing concrete, etc.
Of course, if Chrisman had said this during the campaign, he'd have been labelled a 'Marxist' and envious of people who work hard. Again, he no doubt was quiet during the campaign, content in the belief that Mediaeval-level working conditions were going to be for other people.
Maybe it would have been a better idea to start asking questions before November. Instead, though, the so-called 'American Right' chose to ignore all of the blatant warning signs and grab the first gang who supported top-down solutions and magical cures for all of society's problems. If they don't like the way it's going now, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Interesting! A while back I was chatting about Operation Paperclip and Huntsville, Alabama, now a bit of tourist attraction. Back in the day we literally kidnapped Nazi rocket scientists and relocated them, because kind of like Musk said, "If you want your team to win, you need to recruit top talent." I'm a bit late to the party, like say what? This was how NASA eventually came into existence?!
ReplyDeleteNot that I am in any way equating legal immigration and work visas with Nazi's, I am just observing that once again people in government seem to be setting aside ethics and morality in favor of alleged progress, in this case colonizing Mars.
To this day the debate in Huntsville, Alabama rages on and the tension between the well off decendents of "imported" Nazi rocket scientists verses the somewhat left behind, neglected offspring of working class Americans.
