    Ahh, so he actually admit he achieve nothing and don’t deserve the billions he own, his worker did.

    Which one is it, melon husk?

    Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

      Yea, the fact that any CEO would take a stance like this just shines on his hypocrisy. If leadership bears no responsibility, they also shouldn’t be taking home any of a company’s profit.

    Why the fuck is this fascist posting under the black flag? Does he consider himself an anarchist?

      Symbolic appropriation is the modus operandi of fascism. That’s why the swastika, a former symbol of peace, is now one of the most widely known symbols of hate on the planet.

      At this point I don’t think he considers himself anything other than entitled to put US and the world in his pocket =))

    “Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.

    They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.

    So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.

    Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?

    Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.

    Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

    Jesus Christ.

      Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

    This adds to an ever-growing list of things.

    • He created a safe space for Nazis on his platform

    • He amplified pro-Nazi content on his platform

    • He offered support for Germany’s far-right AfD party, which uses Nazi symbolism in its posters.

    • He did not one, but two Nazi salutes during Trump’s inauguration.

    • He’s endorsed established antisemetic conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

    • After receiving backlash for the two Nazi salutes that he did at Trump’s inauguration, instead of apologizing, he posted Nazi puns.

    All the gaslighting from his supporters with “you can’t read his mind” “he’s autistic” and “it was a Roman salute/my heart goes out to you” is quite frankly an insult to people’s intelligence.

      If he just made a mistake with the salute, surely he’d apologize and say it wasn’t intended, right? Right??

      Three salutes. Two to the podium, he then turned and did 1 more to the people behind and above him.

      Most video only showed the first 2

        And the public (selected as partisan people) immediately cheered, without any confusion or protest.

        People don’t show that enough. The public reaction is more important than the original gesture.

    I read this as a call to action for the people Musk/Trump are ordering around. If everyone just said “no, I won’t to do what you tell me” then we might avoid the collapse of the government/economy/country.

      I think the person who originally posted it may have had that intent. I don’t know anything about them. But I’m skeptical that Musk’s retweet was for the same intent. 😀

      Only difference being a gun can’t say no. The complicity of the grunt who carries out the order gives them a portion of the responsibility. That’s certainly no absolution to Melon, though.
