    I don't hate Musk at all. He's made some questionable decisions... But, historically, those tend to work out well for him.

    He has sure screwed up TwiX.

    X is now the only free speech platform. I think it's much better now than it was before, when they were allowing government to illegally censor Americans. All the smears at him are retaliation for that.

    It's worth half what he paid... And it's only going to keep dropping in value.

    He effed up, and he's still digging...

    Yes, letting Elon alone decide who posts is the superior solution. He knows best.

    And the slings and arrows he's suffered because of it! He's like Jesus and Trump, only more of a martyr.

    The people hand wringing about Musk probably like this movie.

    What's the most dangerous animal on the planet? White people. Funny.

    It appears a large number of people are turning on Elon at the moment, and deservedly so. Seems a lot of his MAGA act was just that. I honestly get that feeling about a lot of these “based” tech people and entrepreneur bro influencers. They just grift as a way to launder their technocratic monopolist bullshit ideas through the right wing for more support, but at the end of the day they are just trying to cut the throats of whoever they can to increase their bottom line. In Elon’s case it’s importing literal indentured servants from abroad and pretending it’s “skilled labor” you can’t find in America. He just doesn’t want to pay or Americans a competitive wage.

    Funny how that works. The State of Texas is falling all over itself to buy land, set up camps and drop whatever they can to facilitate removal of brown people from their state. Yet Texas ranchers, farmers and oil field operators are starting to panic because they see the disappearance of cheap labor. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Reminds me of the GW Bush administration. The (bipartisan) will was there but the reality of it was too much to swallow, so the "problem" got kicked down the line.....the obvious answer is to deport all minorities and force the white remainder to work for slave wages......

    I hope you realize I’m criticizing Elon for adopting liberal/globalist policies. This slave labor you clamor about is what your political party of choice creates and defends.

    He's right about this. You definitely cannot find enough skilled labor in the USA in tech jobs.
