> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > Nope. Leon is upset that racist Republicans are pushing back on his desire to import more H-1B cheap-labor serfs. Whatever your position on H1B visas, the fact Musk is adopting the position that would benefit him financially is roughly as surprising as the sun rising in the East. Musk will ALWAYS support what he perceives as being proftable for him. Always. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Musk will ALWAYS support what he perceives as being proftable for him. Always. Sure. Elmo is as racist as they come, but never at the expense of his balance sheet. Besides, as has been pointed out, being virulently racist doesn’t prevent someone from wanting to fundamentally enslave someone else. Many fine Americans ™ did exactly that for a century of the country’s history. ---

4chan at least produced the SCP Foundation in its heyday. I doubt anything comparable will arise out of Elmo’s clusterfuck. ---

Apparently, “Adrian Dittmann” turned up in another voice chat today and spent an awful lot of time talking about how it’s OK for Elon (who he has never met and is totally not the same person as) to do ketamine because he has a prescription and a lot of high-powered business guys do it and he works so very very hard all the time and everyone says so many mean things about him online. Imagine having more money than God and trying to John Barron a bunch of nerds with your instantly recognizable stuttering Afrikaans accent instead of just hiring a PR firm. ---
