After rallying behind Trump, the tech billionaire supports AfD and other anti-immigration parties.
He’s obviously doing all of this to get less regulation, which in turn means more money and more power, more being able to do what he wants. Big corporations and rich businessmen will benefit from that short-term, but long-term we all suffer, because we’ll get a neo-nazi government and do even less against climate change.
Even if we manage to prevent or at least overcome the neo-nazi government once people realize that’s not a good thing to have, nature will be standing right next in line to punish us really hard for being so goddamn stupid. History will not remember us fondly. Future survivors will think of our generation(s) as insane and/or stupid, when they learn that people willingly voted for entities which destroy the planet even more, and make living conditions for citizens even worse, despite knowing better way ahead of time (earth heating up is known since the 1970s or so, and the results of nazi-governments are also known very well), and despite having the internet as an easy means of global communication and coordination.
and do even less against climate change
Their plan is to just skedaddle to somewhere relatively unaffected by climate change. That’s something you can do when you have more money than god. That’s why a lot of the richest people already have bought large tracts of land and villas in areas they think will be okay, like New Zealand.
For many years, I considered buying a Tesla model S. But I hesitated because the privacy invasion conducted by modern automobiles on their drivers - not just Tesla - puts me off.
Now I will for sure never purchase any Tesla vehicle.
And I closed my Paypal account. [EDIT: Musk doesn’t own any Paypal stock anymore, so nevermind that}
And I left Twitter.
And I will never get the Starlink service.
And I will never use OpenAI or xAI products if I can avoid it.At this point, I think it’s a moral duty to boycott any and all products or services that Musk invests in or makes money out of.
Wh-why Paypal? As far as my research went, he invented X, his own and badly coded banking service, then he bought it PayPal, was a shitty CEO and in addition to that implemented his own code that made things worse - which got kicked out of the company by the employees
Hmm yeah, I thought he still owned Paypal shares, but he doesn’t.
Well, Paypal sucks anyway. So no biggie.
He’s not even hiding it.
Meanwhile Mangione is in jail sentenced with terrorism. Even GTA is less surreal.
That’s mighty white of him
