Yes, I understand that. They should realize that Elon needs them more than they need Elon, unionize, and demand higher

Look, all these people who just voted for Trump because of the "economy" and the pain of inflation should agree with me.

If you have data to back that up, then great. I actually don't think the POTUS has as much influence on the economy

...as evidenced by the markets' response immediately following the election

Jay Kay

That he is autistic makes me appreciate his successes even more

Then call it out when it happens. I trust you have some examples.

Soupie

Its very easy to go on his X account and see the propaganda. He has retweeted

Jay Kay

9:24am

And look. The free speech process worked. It was proven false. Lots of crazy stuff gets put out there immediately

Soupie

It was proven false, but not because Musk ever acknowledged it was false.
