      defending Musk by blaming “the elites” this must be the most brain dead thing I’ve seen on Lemme to date. Maybe worse than vegan cat diets….

          Nah boss. When you start bringing that “elite” language you are very much making your stances clear. Elite is a dog whistle for democrats. Coastal elites, pick your poison. It’s right under the use of “woke” to put your beliefs on full display.

            I use words to convey the meaning of those words. I do not dog whistle cos im willing to say what i mean to say. I see no point in hiding behind soft language.

            Also how fucking self important do yoy have to be to think you know what someone is saying better than they do. Its condescending at best.

              So who are these elites that are telling us that billionaires shouldn’t spend their money in any way they see fit? I’m not self important, I’ve just seen this shit too many times where people try to hide their true feelings when they really wanna say something like “all these commie/socialist dems just want to steal these poor poor billionaires hard earned dollars to give to these welfare queens who aren’t job creators and just hold our great country back”.

      Generational wealth transfer is the primary thing that’s keeping the working class subjugated.

      Bruh Musk is the elite. He’s not some hardworking blue collar or even white collar worker. He started so far ahead of the rest of us financially, and just bought his way into everything, he’s not some coding genius who built PayPal from scratch, he’s not a rocket scientist who worked on the designs for SpaceX, he’s an emotionally stunted manchild with too much money and nobody in his circle to tell him no.

      Nepotism isn’t loyalty to family, its corruption.
