I'm glad I never fell for the hype or joined the cult.
Elon Musk is a neocon from 2005, just with meme branding. So shocking to the normies, so transgressive, so against-the-grain...
He wants the government to defund welfare and remove whatever already weak laws protect Americans from being replaced by cheap immigrant labor.
His actual business ideas are some of the worst the world has ever seen. Multi-billion AI programs that can't draw hands. Self-driving cars that run people over. No cheap slaves from India = no useless cars— but that's where the US gov't steps in and subsidizes that garbage. As with all neocons, anything useful or helpful for the common people has to be demolished, while anything that helps the parasitic elite is sacrosanct.
Elon Musk, the techbros, and the rest of the Trump Administration will not go after the real waste in order to improve things for the common people in America. Rather, they will continue to undermine the already precarious standard of living of the working and middle classes in order to spend money on doomed pointless wars, stock market bubbles, and all kinds of elitist scams.
The real question now is how fucked are things gonna get, and whether any populist challenge to the current establishment will emerge in the next four years.
