VC is a symptom of a late stage capitalism. It’s lottery tickets for the 1% except you get to be the ticket’s boss as well.

Elon doesn't have a "primary goal" of "bringing fascism to the United States." Elon isn't an evil genius with a nefarious plan.

Elon is a dumb techbro desperate for validation. When asked about buying the bank he'll type "Thinking about it!" because of the dopamine hit he gets when his bootlickers go nuts in the comments and "journalists" write full length articles about "Is Elon going to buy SVB???" He has zero intention of following through on it.

I'm not sure about this. Unless you can find specific examples of Elon musk making a big promise and then not following through on it I'll remain skeptical

Elon has no explicit goal to turn the US into a fascist state, but Elon's interests align with those of capital, which means that he will side with fascism when the opportunity presents itself.

Good lord, they had a 45% women, a Black, and a LGBTQ+?? Yeah I can see how that might have distracted them into lobbying for softer regulations leading to them losing their money, I am a very smart economist

The community notes thing has already lead to some really funny trolling of Musk over the last few weeks

To be fair, having 5 women, 6 men, and one Frankensteined 2/5 woman 3/5 man stitched together because the author apparently can't loving count would be rather distracting.

You know that's from a movie or TV show because people in the crowd react badly to it.

If it happened in 2023 reality, there would be thinkpieces in the NYT the next day along the lines of, "Billionaires are the new Jewish people? It's not such a crazy idea" written by Marc Thiessen or Megan McArdle. Polls would rate approval of the CEO's remarks in the mid 50s or 60s and milquetoast idiot centrist dems would probably trip over themselves to bleat about how much we love our billionaires.

More accurately the author of that piece claims that being obsessed [citation needed] with wokeism [citation needed] may have cost them valuable time and effort that could’ve made a difference to their collapse [citation needed but honestly lmao].

It’s a nice window to the conservative mind: “we are only capable of operating with one concept at a time and profits and inclusivity are TWO concepts therefore…”
And that's just the dog whistle!

What they're really saying is diversity hires or affirmative action is unfair because they have very carefully made sure black people, women, and LGBTQ are not able to get equivalent education and work experience so they'd never get hired on merit. Maybe you might give them a sinecure to get the wokes off your back but they wouldn't be doing real work.

I ran into some kind of issue with twitter today. Not sure if I did something to break it or if its a symptom of the long slow decline that inevitably comes with firing so many people. But I simply pasted an imgur link into a tweet as a silly reply to something and now the imgur embed is throwing errors (you can't press play on the gif, it says "imgur refused to connect") and the tweet seems to be bugged as well. When you open the analytics it simply looks like this:
