Can Elon Musk please shut up and go away?

Elon Musk ridiculed a blind person on X. Then a mob went to work.
Musk’s unparalleled online reach on X has given him a powerful tool to attack individuals who criticize DOGE.

Universal programs + progressive taxation is so much more efficient and equitable than means testing. www.vox.com/policy/39322...
What if everyone qualified for welfare benefits?
Universal programs are much easier to administer than means-tested ones.

Grotesquely wealthy people (for some unknown reason) would like to take away whatever benefits you have. And yet there is no possible way they can even spend the money they already have.

#Pensions are not government waste. I keep seeing op-eds portraying #pension budgets as examples of big-city bloat, but it would be immoral and counter-productive not to provide fair retirement benefits to public service workers. You can’t run a city by selling out its workers’ futures.

Just co-signing here that “interact with brands” is “the most soulless phrase of this young century.” Also, may we all stop trying to “build brands.” “Brand” is a word that literally comes from burning a symbol of ownership onto cattle. Not something aspirational.

People with disabilities are statistically more likely to be unemployed or unemployed than the general population, and yet we often have to spend more money to access essential goods and services. Plus we have more physical, emotional, and structural barriers.

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf

Every time I have to say, “Link in bio,” I die a little. Appreciate not having to play that game on Bluesky.

Being disabled and chronically ill is beyond lonely. Far too many people in society can’t comprehend illnesses which are permanent & unrelenting but don’t necessarily kill you. As a result they EXPECT you to get better.

When you don’t - they abandon you.
