There is no middle class. There are workers and owners. If you own real estate and stonks you are still a worker unless you can live off of just investments. This is designed to corrupt and neuter you. You have enough skin in the game of the owners to not want to oppose them, but not enough to actually be them. Unless you hope to retire, at which point you make the transition from working class to owning class, but only at the end of your life, if you even make it that far, and often owning very little.
Fascist cunt
Trump is better at this than Musk…
It will be a beautiful necessary. Everyone will love the carnage. We will destroy America bigly. Like never before. The radical left democrats will hate it, but it will be glorious. Trust me.
Shut up, shut up, shut up please just shtfu already elon. How are people like him and bezos controlling the world? I swear we celebrate and praise mediocre morons in the US.
As a nation we have lost 30 years of progress because we give the loudest most idiotic people to ever live a platform to spew their collective nonsense. Take me back to 2010 where the internet was still fun and not just some massive propaganda machine for the uber wealthy and political nut jobs
How are people like him and bezos controlling the world?
Capitalism
But without capitalism we wouldn’t have (insert something that has nothing to do with capitalism but that I completely attribute to it). And that would mean no trade.
The United States has always been the best place for the mediocre white man.
its only “necessary” so him and his ilk can continue to bleed the nation dry
What’s up with upper class trying to destroy middle class all the time? Are middle class a threat to them? Has to be, otherwise this wouldn’t matter.
Make things hard for billionaires and spread their wealth amongst the lower class to start evening shit out. Who tf needs almost a trillion unspendable dollars?
Decimation of the middle class is a natural tendency of capitalism, but politically its highly desirable to have a middle class. So the middle class in a highly capitalist society ends up being somewhat precarious. Billionaires aren’t attacking the middle classes more than laboring classes, but the “answer” to almost every problem caused by overproduction bubbles is to somehow suppress wages. The government, which needs a strong middle class for political stability, now has to find a way to lower wages or ,in the case of business owning/managing middle class, make new capital investment difficult. There are different kind of middle class, so there are different ways of accomplishing this. But as a result, middle class people are class conscious to the extent that they feel always threatened, but often aren’t able to link it to the economic system, or if so then they might not be able to link global economic problems to the actions that actually caused the problems.
There’s no such thing as the middle class. You either own means of production, you sell your labour to those who do, or you belong to the criminal class that doesn’t contribute to the growth of capital. The middle class is a fairy tale capitalists tell us to keep us in the labour class instead of the far more sensible criminal class.
“There is no middle class only virgin workers and chad lumpen proles” is an incredible bit
make slaves of us all, use all the wealth to become our new overlords, create so much chaos that governments are unable to control it, and then take advantage of the opportunity by presenting themselves as the saviors.
They have all the money. Now they want more.
“Some of you may die, but that is a risk I am willing to make”
When can we feed Elon to a dragon?

… there’s no guillotine emojis yet
What even is that face emoji doing?
I like how you improvised.
Edit: 🗡️🫠. I wanted to try and I like this.
That was my other choice
necessary for what?
necessary for what, motherfucker?
Your comment has the same energy as "states’ rights to do what?", and I’m here for it.
If I wasn’t at work I’d edit the goose meme to match.
I love that meme
You get me.
For a complete fascist takeover.

Wait till he hears how necessary it is for life to get harder for billionaires.
The worst part is–it’s really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.
Personally I’m in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn’t strictly necessary.

UBI actually makes billionaires richer, even with higher taxes. Money trickles back up to them. The problem with UBI is that it redistributes power, and the powerful want all of their power. Wealth “needs” to buy power.
That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.
The French found a solution some time ago, maybe history really repeats.
There are now a lot of people who think we should be nice to billionaires because they also could become one sometime in the future
just wait till they outlaw protests and impose curfews
That’s so 2020. Oh, that was under trump rule. Just a small sample of what’s to come if he gets into office again.
Wouldn’t be the first civilization that disappeared because the elite doesn’t want to compromise and give up status. It’s a constant in history.
Harder - lol. He’ll have to settle for two 180 foot yachts instead of three.
The fucking gall this billionaire POS has to utter the phrase “live within our means.”
Add this to the news that Mike Johnson said they will end Obamacare and I can’t believe anyone would vote for Trump. He’s going to raise your costs, reduce government services, kill healthcare as we know it, the list goes on and on.
They literally want to end government. Aka, services for anyone who isn’t wealthy.
The only government service they want is the police, and it to be funded by civil forfeiture.
Also the military.
Bitch, we’re already going through hardship. How much more hardship do we need to go through just so you can keep your power trip going?
As much as you possibly can. Remember that in a neoliberal utopia, each week you’d bring tens of thousands of dollars in for a company, be compensated with minimum wage and then hand those wages straight back to the nearest billionaire in exchange for food and shelter. If you have any money left at the end of the week, that’s abhorrent to them.
So many unnecessary steps. I wonder when will someone optimize this process.
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME HURT YOU WHEN YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH?
Electively suffering hardship? Billionaires first, set a good example for the rest of us, and the hardship can trickle down.
No, some of US will need to suffer, but that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. Him suffering isn’t acceptable.
