Trump sides with Musk in H-1B fight
Trump sides with Musk in H-1B fight
Reality check: Trump pledged to end the program in 2016.
Called it. When push comes to shove, Trump is always going to side with the ultra-rich.
You're viewing a single thread.
Looks like Musk has the dirt on how the election was actually won. He has all the leverage he needs.
Or trump just sides with the money. It's not always a conspiracy and it's a disservice to believe there is.
I think it is exactly this simple: money.
The entire congress can be bought either outright or with the threat of a primary challenger that is extremely well funded. That will get whoever the ultra-rich wants in line.
We are entirely screwed. I hope I’m wrong though.
I had a conversation with a coworker about this a while ago. He said that something he liked about trump was that he already had money so he wouldn't be able to be bought. I said that he has it exactly backwards. The kind of people who amass that amount of wealth in our society have felt the power of large wealth firsthand and know that more money is always better for them. Increasing the number in their bank account becomes exponentially more important, the higher it goes. The wealthy have proven their utmost allegiance to wealth, so they'll be the first to sell out.
There's an exchange in The Simpsons that has never stopped being relevant:
- You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny.
- Oh, yes. But I'd trade it all for a little more.
Imagine betting that your prepper neighbor with 30 guns won't buy a 31st gun "because he already has so many".
The man sent a literal mob to attack the capital, has been convicted of multiple crimes, and openly admitted to more. Teflon Don doesn't care about dirt.
Not necessarily. Trump can't pass legislation without Republican support in Congress, and those peope have their own values (and bribery goals). All of this before he takes power, and his power is only good for the next two years anyway.
Why two years? You think at the midterm Congress is gonna flip? Why not four assuming there’s still a presidential election…
Thermostatic voting
Thermostatic voting relies on fair and open elections, which there is no guarantee of in the US with the incoming congress and executive branch.

Correct. He has the dirt on how trump rapes children.

Musk does apparently have a spy network, too. There was a podcast series on it....Elon's Spies.
