Wow, someone ran into the wrong spirits on Christmas eve.

That contradicts what he said earlier in the day:

Both are bullshit. What he’s really saying is he wants labor he can pay less money to who are less likely to quit. Employees here on a visa fit that bill perfectly.

He’s also been xitting out a bunch of xit about low birth rates. He wants a population explosion so that there are more people than jobs so people will be desperate enough for work they will put up with anything.

Ok, now I’m conflicted.


I feel like if I’m agreeing with Ann Coulter, something is seriously wrong.

Okay. Hell is definitely freezing over if Ann Coulter is making sense.

Well…my guess would be that she wants to end the H1B program and just not allow immigrant labor at all, which isn’t a good thing either.

Tonight I donated to both Wikipedia and Archive.org. I try to every so often, but this time in particular was as a direct :fu: to Musk and his ilk. I still remember the wonder and hope of the 1990s internet, the belief that it could connect and educate and empower people and bring about a better future. Wikipedia and Archive.org are some of the only sites to make good on that promise, to have genuinely made the world a better place and proven themselves indispensable resources that anyone with an internet connection can access. If Musk had his way the internet would be nothing but AI slop, toxic social media algorithms, disinformation and scammers.

I’m not even sure what he means.

He means he doesn’t suffer fools gladly, but he’s phrasing it based on ablist slurs because he pathetically thinks being an edgelord is smart and cool.

I expected it was a variant of r* but sub is not one I’ve seen before. Not a clue if he’s trying to imply levels or trying to combine it with ā€œsubmissiveā€.

It gets better:

Elon Musk Suspends Laura Loomer

Musk is going on an rampage of arbitrarily stripping MAGA accounts of ā€œverifiedā€ status, demonetizing them, and suspending them, because they disagreed with him. Elon Musk, free speech absolut- you know what, I can’t even write that ironically anymore. It is funny that he’s finally getting around to silencing far right-wing accounts because of factional differences, however. Leopards, faces…

I am missing the part where the fight hurts him too though. It’s great to have Loomer lose and all, but it’s a lot less fun to have Musk win.

I don’t think this is remotely a win for Musk, though. He’s just having a tantrum because other far right-wingers disagree with him. It’s ultimately self-defeating. He’s alienating his allies (and customers), yet again making a lie of his claim to care about free speech, and firing the opening shots in an internal MAGA conflict that could get messy for everyone.

ā€œLet them fight dot gifā€ etc.

I’ve been reading comments under Musk and Vivek’s posts about this.

This kind of sums up why they want those workers, they both think work ethic means kill yourself for the company.

They keep saying American exceptionalism doesn’t exist anymore. No, people are just fed up with killing themselves and having all the money go to CEOs and investors.

Yeah, engineers are typically salaried exempt, meaning no additional pay for overtime. When I was an engineer, I didn’t mind doing that occasionally, if we were up against a deadline or dealing with an emergency, but when it was made mandatory indefinitely at this one place I worked, I found another job. As did half the engineering department. H1B employees don’t have the option to leave, except to leave to go back to their home countries. Ann Coulter is right about these companies wanting indentured servants, not employees.
