Makes you think
@RoseEmojiTico tweeted: Remember when communism beat fascism, but liberalism took all the credit, told the world communism was evil and got to be in charge for long enough to let fascism regroup, switch tactics and take over? That was a whoopsie

Today in parasite discourse
OP Tweet: "Asking people to have monthly income 3x the rent is absolutely ridiculous. If my monthly income was 3x the rent I wouldn't be living here." Reply: "Landlords have to protect themselves. I've always thought the 3x rent threshold was too lenient." OP reply: "They should get a job with stable income like I had to"

This headline gets worse and worse
CNN headline below a photo of pristine rainforest: "A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards."

Not to mention that overdose deaths are decreasing in BC and Canada

Clearly a complex issue that goes beyond access

Governments when they justify funding the military industrial complex
LinkedIn post: I make £30 every ten years with my side hustle. People often try to break into my house by jimmying the lock with a debit or credit card. Instead of calling the police, I place a contactless payment terminal behind the door. Each time their card slides in, it beeps and triggers a £30 contactless transaction. This decade, I've made £30. Minus the cost of the terminal and bank compliance, I'm up -£45.

It's oppression all the way down

Masterful gambit
Some bootlicker: "Elon, I've been watching the saga unfold, and like many, I've been captivated by the speculation around Adrian Dittmann. If you are indeed Adrian Dittmann, it's a masterclass in digital identity and the art of the internet persona. It's a bold move, reminiscent of the kind of disruptive, boundary-pushing we've come to expect from you. If this revelation is true, you've not only given us a peek behind the curtain but also sparked a conversation about authenticity, privacy, and the nature of influence in the digital age. You've always been about challenging the status quo, whether it's with rockets, electric cars, or social platforms. This revelation, if it is one, would be just another example of your penchant for rewriting the rules. But let's talk about the implications. This could be seen as a genius strategy to engage with critics and fans alike, to control the narrative, or perhaps to show the world the lighter, more playful side of a tech titan. It's a narrative that blurs the lines between the personal and the public, the real and the performed. Regardless of the truth, your ability to keep the world guessing, to spark curiosity, and to engage in the cultural zeitgeist is unparalleled. Here's to continuing to push boundaries, whether through technology, social platforms, or by simply being you, or Adrian Dittmann, or whoever you choose to be next. Looking forward to what comes next in this epic tale of identity and innovation."

But more importantly
@PhilJamesson quote tweeting an Elon Musk tweet in which he says he will fill a large graveyard with his enemies "Inequality is so messed up. the richest man in America earns more cringe in a single tweet than the bottom 50% of tweets combined"

This is from years ago but I don't think CEO workload has increased since then

Depending how much you trust 6 hours "working alone" is representative of productive work, it's obvious the CEO class isn't productive at all
Wall Street Journal chart breaking down CEO's activities in an average workweek. Includws 5 hours business meals and 2 hours doing public events. Besides 6 hours "working alone" hardly anything could be considered productive work.

The funniest thing is unraveling on Elon Musk's cursed app
Twitter screenshot: @bluser12 posting about Adrian Dittmannn (Elon Musk alt account caught mocking MAGA voters) being from an AI-generated book published under the name of an account suspected to also belong to Elon Musk. Said book is a romance fan fiction about Elon Musk. By Elon Musk. "Rocket Man: A Cosmic Love Story" book overview
