Given that the foundation of his UBI scheme was built on top a techno-feudal dystopia, this is not surprising in the least.

because the core concept of ubi is still keeping elitism and ultra wealthy individuals around; it’s just throwing a pittance at the lowest socioeconomic class to keep morale up and limit some of the social issues like crime caused by extreme poverty. But ultimately while some of these societal issues get alleviated you still have the very major issues of things like Elon musk accumulating enough wealth and power to influence elections and purchase modern communications platforms, political lobbying, and other issues associated with extreme classism.

He is and always was on team tech bro billionaire. He still thinks he (and they) is/are ultimately superior to most people. “Throw some money at them and they will quiet down”

Always remember that electric cars and automated vehicles are not here to save the environment or to improve transportation. They are here to save the car industry.

Oh how he suffered being a billionnaire (200 billion. That is more than you’d earn if you worked for over 2,000 years, 24/7, with a $200k salary each day).

But it gets worse.

Let’s say you live to be 75. You work from 15 til 70. That’s 55 years of work.

The average world citizen works around 40 hours a week.

You’d need to earn $1 million per hour, just to get almost halfway of the wealth Elon Musk has.

Does one gets this rich by work? Does anyone get this rich by smart investments?

The answer shows itself: only through stealing from people like you, exploiting everyone, and evasion, can someone acquire this much wealth.

“Surely Elon was initially at least normal?” But it gets worse. He supported apartheid, a system under which white, coloured and black people would all face struggle:

The black suffered the most and heaviest,
The coloured were accused of collaboration,
The white lived calm but were spoonfed fear of the other groups, lied to by the oligarchs, of “criminal black thugs” stealing their hard work.

While all groups eventually shared one goal: abolition of this system. F. de Klerk and Mandela showed that this was possible, to reconcile. And yet, Elon Musk opposed this.

But it gets even worse with Musk. He claims to be a family man. But, he never loved his daughter. He abused his daughter, when his daughter told her what any daughter ought to feel able to tell her father: I am who I am.

Musk is the archetypical oligarch: rich, spoiled, and with no sympathy. Let comrades learn: this is not what we are. Musk, Bezos, and all their ilk: to them, you are a mosquito. You are nothing for them.

They are the reason prices rose. They profited from inflation. And all this, while even people with $100k income, struggle to pay mortgages. All this, while the poor starve on the streets, drugged people get no help, and queers are being murdered.

Comrades! You are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.
The poor cannot steal your wealth, for they have none,
The junkie cannot ruin your health; for they have none,
The queer cannot kill you, for they are killed.

The oligarch has their wealth, health, and kills. Comrades! Once more ye are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.

Join or resocialise your socialist party, join a newspaper, and unionise! Rich, poor, healthy, ill, straight, queer: disagreement be told: all share one enemy, the oligarch!

And buying his cars I doubt that the majority of Tesla owners have been Republican voters in the past.

The person in the screenshot is someone who ran for president in the Democratic primaries in 2020 as the UBI and tech guy. He definitely knows all there is to know about elon.

Happened with fetterman too. In fact, even people like JD vance (no one thought he was cool though) used to shit on trump.

How quickly the wealthy/powerful bootlick for more wealth/power is terrifying.
