    But Musk’s companies are getting more lucrative government contracts, paid for by the taxpayer, so that’s cool I guess.

      Hypocrisy is an expression of power.

      We’ve got to start treating this for what it is. Every time they do something hypocritical it’s on fucking purpose. It’s to show us that they can do it, and we cannot. That is very, very purposeful.

      Let’s dispel with this fiction that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.

        That’s a really good point. And very true. You can see it in practice at any job a manager tells someone not to do something, and then does that same thing carefree. All that is, is an expression of power.

      Of course. Government inefficiency is everything that helps poor people. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is totally efficient, though.
