President Musk isn't even in office. These Magas allowed this to happen on their watch. Let's primary them.

Sub minimum wage isn’t much of a concern if you’re into eugenics

ericmgarcia.bsky.social•76 days ago

Elon Musk talks a big game about how his being autistic helped him in his career and learning about coding. But when he has the ability to help other people with disabilities and allow them to have jobs, he kills it.

Given that they have shitty jobs that pay them shitty wages, his mindset of course is they earned that, just like he earned his fortune using big brain energy.

I hate him invoking autism when in reality his parents money gave him a leg up. I have 2x autistic ADHDers and they aren't moral vacuums as Muskrat is.

Autistic person I respect ;

- Who overcome their disadvantage & succeed at their field as well helping others who share the same story.

Autistic person I disrespect ;

- Elon Musk.

what code has musk written recently? His complete bungling of twitter at EVERY level would make me doubt he has any thorough understanding of how computer coding works, any knowledge of how development works, or how to run an actual company on his own w/o taking credit for the work of others

The emperor has no clothes.

Wait I thought E**n help kill the stopgap bill that would’ve extended Medicare Telehealth coverage. He killed the purposed rule about ending subminium wage for disabled people too?

ericmgarcia.bsky.social•76 days ago

No. That's a DOL rule. The original CR would set aside money to help employers set up a "Center for Technical Assistance for Transforming to Competitive Integrated Employment." That language was stripped.

thekwomanrules.bsky.social•76 days ago

Okay good thanks I can still send my comment on that! But what about Medicare Telehealth coverage extension?

ericmgarcia.bsky.social•76 days ago

Looks like it's still there.

Great thanks so much! One last thing: do you know how to send a comment for that?

Here's the text that failed on the floor

I should also add that ending subminimum wage labor has bipartisan support. One of the organizations that worked on Project 2025 has advocated for ending it. Republican governors like Greg Abbott of Texas and Bill Lee of Tennessee have eliminated it.

President Elon, truly the poster child of the “I got mine, you deserve nothing” oligarchy. Shameless.

markmcclane.bsky.social•76 days ago

What evidence has he rendered up to support his claim of being autistic?

None, right?

ebthen.bsky.social•76 days ago

I hate Musk, but it's a terrible strategy to invalidate self-dx just because shitty people also claim to be Autistic.

Plenty of formally dx'ed Autistic people are shitty. It's not mutually exclusive.

markmcclane.bsky.social•76 days ago

Except that musk has a penchant for lying...he wull lie about anything...

ebthen.bsky.social•75 days ago

It doesn't matter. Questioning Musk's self-dx just makes it easier and more acceptable to question every other Autistic person's self-dx.

womblingweka.bsky.social•76 days ago

I guess being autistic and being a sociopath aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
