Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're not supposed to root for the hardship. But oh, what am I saying, he obviously doesn't mean himself. He's a special pig, more equal than the rest.
South Africa wants its loser back
Make America feel hardship again.
Later on, Musk said that he would “balance the budget immediately,” adding: “Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of government are going to be upset about that. I’ll probably need a lot of security, but it’s got to be done. And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”
Dude is not actually talking of himself?
Besides.. they are telling people straight up Things gonna go Bad.. and they applaud. This Planet develops more and more to a madhouse..
It's simple really. We eat the rich.
“We”? There’s no “we” dipshit, not when you can afford to buy and sell rockets while most working class are living on a diet of beans and rice, suffering roommates to make rent, all while working 40-90hrs a week for $7.50-$15 an hour.
Question, I hear things like that on lemmy often. Is there some data source that I can point to if I want to repeat it. I work in tech and honestly don't go out much. I also have kids and live in an old neighborhood that is right next to new expensive ones. So I don't really know anyone personally that is living paycheck to paycheck. And no one would believe me if I talked about it without data and a source.
Return to sender, please.
is there a way to block posts by keyword like I can just block any post containing the word "musk"？
i'd rather a few hundred of the wealthiest face hardship for the first time in their lives--first time in generations of their family, for many. we're tired of waiting for the trickle.. it needs to be a downpour.
I wish Musk would face hardships.
I'd like to see him face 6 months in prison for his election interference. Just a warning shot.
At first I was asking myself why he would admit this but then I realized Trump voters read this and think, "finally, they'll hurt the right people" and assume they will not be affected.
Also, they may still be happy if they are affected, as long as the outgroups they hate most are affected worst.
They'll find a way to blame Dems in the end too, I suppose.
Oh, absolutely. Umberto Eco pointed out that this is how fascism works.
The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
The Dems are both craven lickspittles who are not manly enough to drive a truck, and yet strong enough to control everything even if they haven't been in power for a decade.
As we can see, fascism is bullshit for idiots.
Fuck You, Elon
Go deep throat a cactus Elon.
Not that this is new, but i can’t believe the MAGAchuds don’t bum-rush this asshole and stomp him into grease.
“You’re all literal ants to meeee!”
*murmurs of not-disagreement*
Later on, Musk said that he would “balance the budget immediately,” adding: “Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of government are going to be upset about that. I’ll probably need a lot of security, but it’s got to be done. And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”
I wonder if he's afraid of backlash from cutting MIC funding.
"I don't want to be taxeeeeedddd wahhhh"
Ah yes, fiscal responsibility from the fucking idiot who overpayed for Twitter and spends money on useless shit like sinks for fucking jokes.
He doesn't have to tighten his belt, of course.
He's not gonna shitcan SpaceX from NASA funding because they "cost too much" for example.
There would certainly be less hardship for many if some wealth hoarding billionaires stopped hoarding hundreds of billions of dollars
It's amazing that the press constantly covers the comments of this drug addled fascist. Please revoke his citizenship and deport him.
that ain't the flex you want it to be, elon!
I'm grateful to Musk for constantly proving that billionaires are made by luck.
Not just luck. You also need a willingness to fuck people over, again and again. But it could be any lucky asshole.
