This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was "off"

Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.

The ruling class forgets how the unions were the compromise to allow them to keep their heads attached to their bodies

They're also completely ignoring the return on investment of these funds. China is busy investing around the globe to sow pro Chinese sentiment everywhere. If you want democracy to thrive these are the types of investment that can buy your side long term alliances. But we already know they don't want democracy to survive.

You assume they read about history and know what Nazis were beyond tiktok memes.

I'm curious if this author can point to a specific time when musk became radicalized or if he was always this way.

I cringe when i remember being a musk fan. When he was the underdog I rooted for him. I believed in electric cars and reusable rockets. He came off like an awkward engineer type who was chasing a fantasy.

My first real wake up call was when he slandered that diver.

Was he always just acting or did he slowly lose his mind? If he was acting he did a good job or I was an idiot I'm not sure.

Their entire platform is blaming immigrants and trans people for everything. Deporting people is somehow going to fix everything. Good luck.

Appealing to tribalism and giving people a boogeyman to blame for all their problems is the oldest trick in the book. It's akin to using bikini models in used car ads. If you fall for it, you're a schmuck.

I love that he's out there risking his life for beer

House looks super nice. How do you like it there, why did you guys make the move?

Expecting fascism to solve inequality is like expecting a boulder to help you swim. I'm curious how many people actually just want society to essentially collapse because they feel left out. That's where we're kinda headed.

They're all racing to build super intelligent AI. The first one to get there could essentially become God. So zelon and mark are desperately trying to buy time.

Who's going to enforce it? The House? The Senate? The supreme Court?

The law is just pieces of paper if the people who are supposed to enforce it don't want to.

Well now you've handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

Choosing not to vote is participation whether you like it or not. Your so called protest doesn't help change the system either. All it accomplishes is kill more Palestinians. It's a fucked up system and we should absolutely do everything we can to change it, but not voting doesn't absolve you of the excess deaths of innocents.

You have a chance to help people but you're too morally pure so instead you choose to plug your ears while they get murdered and tell yourself letting them die was the right choice morally.

If Trump wins and Israel ends up murdering everyone, I'll come back to this comment and remind you.

Here's the reality; we're all playing the trolley problem but it's with real people and unfortunately the only options are kill more people or kill less people. If you know that by not voting you're killing more people then you can't claim you're not responsible for their deaths.

If you really care go out and protest the system after the election. Choosing to let more people die now is a protest but you have blood on your hands.

I know you're being sarcastic, but for those too young to remember; look up the tiki torch Nazi rallies from Trump's term.

Wait what does it say about me if I instantly want one

Maybe we're strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that's sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn't mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can't sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we're supposed to feel bad for them but we're ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that's mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it
