Sometimes I think about all the career paths that are inaccessible to women (and non-men generally) and get mad. I've had maybe 2 women rideshare drivers ever? No plumbers, gas, electricians...basically nothing that requires you to be alone with men.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

Every time I see someone justify the theft of social security data by Musk with the words “he isn’t a thief because he is already super rich”, it reminds me that a lot of people have been brainwashed by the notion that wealth is virtue and this is why they treat billionaires like they are gods.

Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel. But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power. They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!
