Man crush ? I think that’s your side. You never even asked me if I like the guy. Im more pointing out your weird obsession and delusional way of thinking versus any like for musk.

I understand you guys are afraid that the left are not in power. It’s going to be ok. Trump is not Hitler. America is not becoming Nazi Germany. Breathe.

Who's afraid? You mention the left but it's the maga that are having issues. They are the ones going after musk over the H-1B Visas.

It's apparent that your confused on many levels.

I never said America is becoming nazi Germany. That's another example of your lack of understanding when people engage in debate. It was obvious that I was referring to the way hitler used the media to take push what they wanted. Control of the media is used around the world to control and maintain power.

You've proven that you have limited knowledge of history, politics, and world events. You know how to build a Hip and Valley roof from blueprints drawn up by someone else but is there anything more?

Yes I did. As a citizen of the United States I find it concerning that any individual is able to have so much influence over the President of the United States. Especially one that contributed over $250 billion to trumps campaign and is now tasked with streamlining the United States government.

There's also the fact that musk is a terrible person who could care less about this country. It's nothing but a cash register for him. Now he owns the manager of the store.

My hope is that musks “vulgar display of power” lights a fire under the ass of congress to get money out of politics.

Make as much money as you want, all campaigns are publicly funded, all positions require the person to only make their govt salary for their time in office, and ban them from lobbying or working in industries they regulated for 10 years.
we agree on that one

The left controls most of the media …….

Because the events that came from it had no affect on him. Now that it threatens his field of employment, it’s a problem. He’s scared me may have to use his hands one day

Because we all know that only the democrats have media outlets to push their agenda. It's always been this way. Yet now we have Editors resigning or being removed from numerous media entities due to musks influence over the corporate entities that control that media.

Some of you are just one sided. It's always just black and white. Us against them. Fake Media! The Left! You've convinced yourselves that one side is the source of all evil while ignoring the transgressions of others.

Myself and many others have valid concerns yet you're stuck in the 'We won" mentality. Nothing else matters. Just a sound bite and mindless drivel is all that drives many. Not an understanding or care in the world as world power is being concentrated into the hands of one man.

Here's some food for thought. It shows how musk has no loyalty to anyone or anything other than himself and those in power at the time that can potentially help him. YOU, he could care less about. He spent his $250 million on the Presidency and it belongs to him. The American voters don't matter. maga doesn't matter either as he's already stated he's ready to go to war with them and any that get in his way will feel the wrath of his wealth.

2011
Musk, who recently said he supported Obama’s campaign for president.

2015
"musk voiced support for Clinton in 2016 while denouncing her then-opponent former President Donald Trump, telling CNBC Trump doesn’t have the “sort of character that reflects well on the United States.”

2017
Musk left the Trump Administration’s advisory councils in June after the former president withdrew from the Paris Agreement to combat climate change; earlier that year, Musk criticized the administration over its travel ban against several majority-Muslim countries.

2020
Musk said he voted for President Joe Biden, though he did not donate to any presidential campaigns

July 12, 2022
Trump and Musk traded barbs: Trump called Twitter—which Musk was trying to back out of a deal to buy at the time—“worthless” in a series of Truth Social posts where he also derided Musk’s companies, while Musk tweeted that Trump should “hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”

2024
trump changes stance on H-1B Visas after pressure from elon musk

That's a crock. The left controls the media that the left watches and the right controls the media that the right watches. You people are one sided. Stuck in your "Them" mentality when it should be "Us."

Simple minds stuck in a box hating an enemy that doesn't exist.


Because the events that came from it had no affect on him. Now that it threatens his field of employment, it’s a problem. He’s scared me may have to use his hands one day

I've already addressed that. H-1B Visas do not threaten me in any way as I work in a space that is not affected. It's not surprising that you ignore that. It doesn't fit your narrative. I think the term is called "Selective Response" and it's quite common. When one's only intent is to demean or somehow put others in a bad light they selectively ignore key factors to make their response seem as though it has more validity.

Selective Response is common among those that are unable to articulate any meaningful thought. They often fall back on personal attacks, simple memes, emoji's and catch phrases because they lack the intellect for anything of substance.

even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then... The Chumps "character" wouldn't reflect well om a rabid dog.

As much as I admire Bill Gates. I've always been against his support of H-1B Visas.

Some act like this is some battle between left and right. It's not. Both left and right oppose the use of H-1B Visas. This is a bipartisan opposition.

It's only the rich pushing for the H-1B.

Bill Gates has given over $50 billion to charitable causes over career​



For the third year in a row, Elon Musk’s charitable foundation did not give away enough of its money.

And it did not miss the mark by a small amount.

New tax filings show that the Musk Foundation fell $421 million short of the amount it was required to give away in 2023.

wouldn't count on that. robotic welders are already doing much of the critical jobs out there, as well as menial stuff like automotive industry tack welding etc. much of what is done by humans NOW could already be done by robots, but isn't because it would be so disruptive. govt ammunition plant near here could be emptied out of humans virtually, but those jobs support communities for miles around. :rolleyes:
Yeah, I seen some kind of machine that could 3D print houses a few years ago, not sure where it's actually going haven't seen much about it in years. They also had a machine that could lay bricks, but still needs humans to load bricks into it, until they make a machine for that. Lol, that was also a few years ago not much talk about that since either.

They're definitely trying to replace everyone, but we got at least 10 years before they can even replace half of the trades, 20 years most will probably be out of work. Now factories and tech will be the first to go, really even seen talk of doctors getting replaced by AI, which yeah it probably gets perfect scores on all the tests.

The 3D houses have had some setbacks.

It's cool technology but need some more work before it replaces typical construction methods.
