Leave a trail of ketamine that leads into a cage?
You spelled Sink Hole incorrectly.
No, I think he described a k-hole correctly.
let that sink in, motherfucker
“K hole”?
A hot tub would be better
Take. His. Shit.
Billionaires need to understand they are not entitled to the vast wealth they command.
SpaceX should legit be eminent domain’d and just folded into NASA - or at least just make the federal government the primary stakeholder and revoke Phony Stark’s ownership. He’s done shit with SpaceX assets that directly contravene US international policy, which is a direct violation of the Logan Act (which, to be fair, is basically never enforced against anyone who has enough money and power - which needs to change).
The real answer is tax him proportionally so he doesnt have more power than the state. You cab tell the state is either an idiot beast or has always served the owner class because it does nothing to defend itself from them. Centralized powers are a mistake.
Personally kind of wondering if the city-state was the best balance.
Then you have shit heads like Sparta attacking the other powers.
Not giving him constant media attention would be a good start.
Taxing the shit out of him would probably work pretty well too.
Also, clamping his balls in a floor vise.
But that’s just for fun
Yeah, you never know, that could be one of his kinks, and thus basically a reward
If he’s into that sort of thing, it sort ruins it for the rest of us
Not fun for him…fun for us…if he’s into it, we’ll keep going until it’s fun for us and he really isn’t into it.
I got a 270 pound floor vice I can donate to the cause.
Decent backup plan.
Fully expected some ineffectual BS, but then I saw the author was Robert Reich so I decided to give it the time of day.
He’s got some good points. Musk is very vulnerable in a lot of ways, and there’s a decent amount of ammo to attack him on each of those fronts.
If regular people, businesses, and governments all decided to say “fuck you” to him in unison, he could be bankrupt, imprisoned, dethroned, and banned from several industries in just a few years’ time.
Now, his worst-case scenario is extremely unlikely… but I wonder if the fact that bits and pieces of it might come to fruition is why he’s gone so batshit insane over the past several years. It must seem like there’s no choice but to double down on the grift now.
Starlink is now critical infrastructure in the military industrial complex. While Musk owns a substantial portion of SpaceX, Starlink’s parent company, and Elon over 40% of the equity, he’s relatively untouchable.
Does the article address this point specifically?
guess the government needs to take ownership. you know. For national security.
My friend … all we need to do is let his investors at him.
…yo France, I feel like you’re a subject matter expert here - any tips?
Tips besides the guillotine.
Let’s not rule anything out just yet
Why remove the option we know for a fact was extremely effective?
Na, go with the gut, first idea is the best idea.
Stop. Giving. Him. Attention. Stop using his shit.
I just saw a cyber truck in the wild for the 1st time. How the shit can anyone actually want one of those?
I don’t know how it’s possible, but they’re somehow even uglier in person. It’s wild.
I was not prepared for how worse they look in person.
Is it a guillotine? What do I win if it’s a guillotine? I’m pretty sure it’s a guillotine. Just saying. 🤷🏽♂️ Might be.
Seize all his assets, nationalize his companies.
The fact that we even talk about how to “reign in” billionaires is ridiculous. No one should be a billionaire. No one should be allowed to have total autocratic control over vast swathes of humanity’s resources. Every dollar he has represents human labour and natural resources; things that belong to all of us (or none of us depending on your perspective).
Fraudulent websites get censored constantly. Why does X not count as fraudulent?
Politicians should act. In the mean time, let’s find a way to further damage the platform.
The author makes several good points, but watching him implode is fun in the meantime.
Maybe an analysis on why these “wolutions” aren’t already occuring and an idea on moving towards them would be more helpful. 4 of 5 are top-down ideas with zero political motivation for those with authority.
