Birds of a Feather - Musk and Miller

[orwell]

Mother Jones AND the Wall Street Journal recently broke the story of Elon Musk bankrolling fascist POS Stephen Miller far earlier than his so-called "conversion" to Trumpty Dumpty.

Frank Schaeffer, once a king maker in the evangelical wing of the Con Party posted this eye-opening summation. It is a very compelling argument for not only never buying a Tesla, Tesla solar roof or Power Wall or clicking on a Twitter link, but seriously reconsidering support of any government contract given to this fascist, either through the Starlink franchise or Space X. We are essentially slitting our own throats if we give this scumbag any support at all.:

1. He acts and looks creepier by the day. Both of them. And why do they act the way they do? Why? Are they diseased

in their brainpans, got dropped when they were babies, or what? With Musk, being from South Africa, home of the original black hatred club in this world (and still is apparently, despite the gains made by blacks in S. Africa over the last few decades, they are probably still some issues left, such as the generational hate still left, of which Musk I'm sure is a part of still.

Miller, he's just creepy and I don't want to analyze a creep, other than to throw up. He's not worth it. I've listened to him, and he likes listening to himself obviously, when he's on there to rep someone. Get away from me.

Such rabid or disjointed hate has no place in our society, and even worse, extended that hate to others. I wondered how they manage to get away w/ spewing their hatred so openly. I know that this is a free Country and such, but when is hate speech still allowed, even in its allowable format? When does it exceed the boundaries?

Of course I know that Attorney General Garland has been hiding (I guess), I haven't heard hide or hair of him period. I see that Smith is still churning the waters around tRUMP and causing him to have mini-strokes, which is fine w/ me.

tRUMP should receive his delayed justice, NOW, and not for his sake, but ours, the US public.

We deserve to see TIMELY justice too, don't we?

WSJ Deep Dive Into Elon Musk’s Past Donations Reveals Millions to GOP Groups Tied to Stephen Miller

by David Gilmour
Mediaite, October 3, 2024

Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk quietly funneled tens of millions of dollars to Republican groups connected to former President Donald Trump’s close aide, Stephen Miller.

The new investigative report from the Wall Street Journal reveals that Musk’s financial support for conservative causes was far more extensive and began much earlier than previously known, reshaping the narrative around his political alignment.

The newspaper reported that as early as the fall of 2022, Musk poured over $50 million into Citizens for Sanity, a group spearheaded by employees of Miller’s nonprofit, America First Legal. The funds were largely spent on aggressive ad campaigns targeting Democrats on hot-button issues like immigration and transgender rights in key battleground states just days before the midterm elections of that year.

While Musk appeared to shift politically only recently, publicly proclaiming his support for Trump’s 2024 presidential election bid, the report shows he was, in fact, a significant behind-the-scenes figure for GOP causes long before creating a super PAC to support the Republican nominee.

3. Thanks...

...I saw the Schaeffer video late last night right before I went to bed and it confirmed what I have been suspecting for years now. Musk is a duplicitous little shit who has gained far too much power with very little wisdom behind it.

I originally admired the guy as some sort of modern day Edison around 2015-16. I was thinking of investing in TSLA stock so I began my usual due diligence on the man behind the company.

The more I learned the more I began to detest the bloviating turd. He has the remarkable ability, similar to Drumpf, to take credit for things he didn't do, fuck over those really responsible for the accomplishment, and wildly enrich himself in the process. It happened with Paypal and it happened with Tesla.

He is the consummate narcissist. And we have collectively given him the keys to our technological future. This will not end well unless people begin to understand the massive threat that this alliance of technocrats, religious fascists/zealots, and billionaire sociopaths, poses to the future of humanity.

We are a lot closer to the Blade Runner scenario than people realize.

Either that, or Idiocracy...
