I watch you on YouTube from Canada. The similarities between the FREE west's governments are strikingly similar. A lack of education creates more followers, followers who do not discriminate in their discrimination.
As long as politicians keep allowing the Musks of this world to keep taking over power, while unelected, keep giving them our money and removing our freedoms, I can’t see much changing, just getting progressively worse.
"Accuse others of that which you are" is standard fare for climate deniers and the like. "Accuse others of that which you seek to become" is the Elon Musk version of it. Fuelled by jealousy of a fantasy enemy.
Have you seen his desperate attempt to distance himself from healthcare CEOs this morning? Is pretty transparent. I so hope all the billionaires are afraid.
The entire tech bro crowd has convinced themselves that they are victims, treated unfairly by anyone that would dare to challenge their warped world views. They take it personally and are now enacting their revenge fantasies backed by gobs of money.
Exacto!!! Imagine Soros gives away hundreds of mills and gets into administration and getting juicy government contracts! The double standard of the Joe Rogans, Russell Brands, Shapiros are astonishing!!!! Must be called out!!!
Elon has created a cult of personality around himself, he is simply a con artist. The hope of the average person is that by playing remora to Elon's shark, they can benefit from the scraps he leaves behind. Whether it is money, power, notoriety they just want something to make them feel special.
What does rich factor in? That he's somehow won capitalism, therefore he must be adored? That he's going to give money to his top sicophants? I understand you, but it doesn't compute for me.
It's easier to blindly follow, not question. Hanging on his coat tails makes you feel like a winner. Don't let on the Emperor has no clothes, that's just spoiling how good we can all feel...
Disruption. They think it's fun to break things. They want the world to be simpler and solved. Trump and Musk are shaking things up. People are fed up with the world order and want to give it the 🖕🏼
On the plus side he wants to make the US government more efficient and cut costs, leaving more money to be spent elsewhere,..... Mars to be exact.
If he thinks climate change etc is BS why is he so desperate to get to Mars?
I totally agree with you. It seems my original comment was too subtle a piss take of Musks D.O.G.E
Funny how someone who hates NGO's is gonna head one of his very own.
Thanks for reading...
He pays people to spread propaganda on X. We used to joke about when our "Soros bucks" would arrive because people were constantly being accused of being a "paid shills" for making any point the Twitter bros disagreed with, and this mofo is actually doing it!
Leon has his feet under the table, he's in that sweet spot between getting everything he thinks he's ever wanted and the reality of lafe and all it's natural limitations he thought he had just escaped
Who amongst us doesn’t remember Obama setting up the clumsily named Working Organisation for Knowledge & Equality to give George Soros a platform for remaking Government?
Are we going to see the revolution devour it's children?
Will in-fighting between factions of Trump's camp be the evidence of it? Or should we expect something more dramatic?
The sad reality is that the magical promises that the people in the Trump camp are making are not going to benefit the vast numbers of voters that put him in office.
The more devoted followers have already been gee'd up for the idea of civil war through a lot of the messaging and marketing.
The tactics are straight out of the playbook of how to become a dictator. AiM accusations in a mirror & Trumps favourite tool is DARVO Deny Attack Reverse Victim Offender used by all domestic abusers works well with populist politics too
It has a lot of the hallmarks of the end of the Roman Republic with plutocrats thinking they have political power within reach. That's the only they thing they can't completely buy or control within a functioning democracy.
Good old "Propaganda" being re-polished and re-used in excess, courtesy to the social media. It never fails. It was the eye opening "gift" to the "developed world" from the "block behind the iron curtain" after it collapsed. Ppl born in the latter are not amused one bit. Same old.
Same with Jo Bidens pardon of his son. Bush snr has already done that, so he set the precedent not Jo, and anyone saying this gives trump an excuse to do it needs to give their head a wobble.
trump has NEVER needed an excuse to do something dodgy or openly illegal!
It’s misdirection, as in when they’re accusing, they’re confessing.
Deep State? Was always Harlan Crowe, Leonard Leo et al.
Look at th load of billionaires on T’s cabinet nominee list. They’ think they’ve finally done it - turned America into an oligarchy.

He is no doubt funding and influencing the turmoil in France. Giving Farage $100m and trying to destabilise Labour, he needs to be declared an enemy of the state
I'd post that meme of some German bloke saying something like "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" - but I was landed a 1 month Facebook jail sentence the last time I did!
Also notable how passionately those same people defend Israel's right to commit genocide, while throwing around antisemitic slurs and tropes like confetti where Soros was concerned 🤔
Even more comical:
He's so eager to have an administrative seat...
Weird for someone who is supposed to be free from regulation pushing to have the mist regulated of jobs 😂😂
What a fake conman bigot
It’s good not to platform him unchallenged. But putting a light on him and getting the conversation going about how negative an effect he has on everything is what is needed.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that many people don’t understand absolute morals or ethics, and believe whether an action is right or wrong entirely depends on who does it and for what purpose
Right wingers tie themselves up in knots. Orban has said he wouldn't arrest Netanyahu if he came to Hungary. This after years of anti-Semitic trolling of George Soros.
He is so ridiculously wealthy that he doesn’t care what it costs, he already proved that when he bought Twitter like I would some ill-advised “Sunday night after too much wine” eBay purchase.
His wealth is obscene, but then his ability to spend seems to be equally unique & many of the strategies the ultra wealthy employ to avoid tax means their nominal wealth is tied up in company valuation. He could have an Icarus moment.
I think that given the demographics and politics of Tesla buyers, boycotting Tesla + leaving X are probably very efficient at hurting Elon and at least not helping him in the techno-fascist lunacy of his grandpa he is pursuing with Tesla’s stock.
He was building the narrative so that he could do those things himself when he’s in power. Then the discussion becomes “Well Soros did it so Musk can do it too” rather than “did soros even do it?” or “can/should it be done?”.
More GOP irony: “rich pple create jobs.” Elon made 80% of Twitter unemployed. Also planning to make more Americans unemployed from government agencies.
Not... erm... directly connected, James @mrjamesob.bsky.social, but you might be interested in news this morning that The Observer Newspaper has been sold to the loss-making Tortoise Media in an unfathomable 'deal':
No one on the Left worshipped Soros. At best, folks were conflicted about his influence. Musk, tho, fits into the “Good Tsar” savior fantasy at large in White America. That somehow the looter class will throw up a sort of messiah and HE will see that THEY r like HIM while riding to their rescue.
All the scheming and manipulation we've suspected the super-rich do in the quiet corridors of power, Elon is now doing in the brilliant glare of publicity. What they used to do behind the curtains he is now doing up front and proud of it! A real "up your's" to the normal people.
Why waste your life seeking reason from these types! There are forces out there hell bent on tearing off the veneer of civilisation that separates us from our worst selves. A hundred years in the making and they are rolling it back with glee. It's almost as if satan himself is behind it.
Comments
Earlier Musk did share Starlink with Ukraine in its campaign to fight the Russian invasion.
They thought becoming rich would make them likeable & popular, but if didn't.
So now they're trying 'becoming powerful' as a way to achieve popularity.
It still won't work.
They never truly believed that soros was doing it. They were just looking for any excuse for their failures.
A you could look at climate change. That’s a good example. The bosses will let the kids die. They have to. They need to get their money.
(1) he is rich and (2) he is not a liberal.
That's it.
On the plus side he wants to make the US government more efficient and cut costs, leaving more money to be spent elsewhere,..... Mars to be exact.
If he thinks climate change etc is BS why is he so desperate to get to Mars?

I bet he rails against everything he expouses right now before Trump’s four years are up.
Will in-fighting between factions of Trump's camp be the evidence of it? Or should we expect something more dramatic?

That will lead to the "j'accuse" Johnson-ism of "well if he was allowed to do it things his way, things would be better"
Either way, with that many guns in the room... shots are going to fired.

How you prepare for that is the question. It’s likely not a matter of another law aimed at UK X as a donation vehicle.

The man could literally change the world for the better, but instead he lines his own pockets and targets and bullies the vulnerable.
As long as these people believe that Musk is going to hurt the people they despise, they'll cheer and cheer and cheer.
I would say we're going to get Goebbels levels of propaganda, but in some ways it will be worse. Not even Goebbels owned a social media platform.
He’ll only stop when it hits him financially.
Yeah I know, its not great but I'm not @susiedent.com
It might deliver a severe reality check.
I mean the actual test results would be a bit harder to figure out because of the drop in intelligence but morally it would be better.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää vaan.

Logic goes out the window when it's "your side" doing something, compared to when "the other side" does it.
