埃隆-馬斯克是對民主的威脅 (Elon Musk Is A Threat To Democracy)

- Musk. He also wrote a chapter of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. He's a Republican regulator who hates regulations, but he wants the government to play a bigger role in fostering the expansion of Starlink. And so he knows by brown nosing his way all the way up Elon's poll and promising that huge amounts of government money will go into Elon's pocket, he'll gain some power in a future Trump presidency. Imagine selling your soul to become chair of the FCC. Yikes. So now not only would the law not apply to Elon, he'll have the power to do away with whatever pesky law or regulation he wants, and to toy with people's professional aspirations to demand loyalty and government handouts. This is unprecedented and dangerous. It's especially dangerous given that remember, Elon is a big dummy, a dum-dum. Never forget. Not to mention the fact that Musk is connected to even shadier billionaires like Peter Thiel, who I made an episode about a couple months ago and who has directly funded JD Vance's entire career, who not only doesn't believe that freedom and democracy are compatible, he wants freedom, not democracy, but also genuinely thinks that competition is bad for capitalism. Like when Peter Thiel hears Make America Great Again, he's not thinking, ah, yes, the 1950s. He's thinking, ah, yes, 1890. He lusts after gilded age robber barons. And in a Trump-Vance administration, those are whose interests would come first and foremost. The ultimate end cap to late stage capitalism and the birth of true plutocracy in this country. And this is why I don't have patience for people, especially in swing states, who aren't voting or who are voting third party in protest. Sometimes you have to do the thing that avoids the most damage, not the thing that brings you the most joy. The damage of a second Trump presidency cannot be overstated. We need to get Kamala Harris elected next month.
馬斯克。他還撰寫了傳統基金會《2025計劃》的一個章節。他是一名共和黨監管者，憎恨監管，但他希望政府在促進 "星鏈 "擴張方面發揮更大作用。是以，他知道，只要他能在埃隆的民調中一路領先，並承諾政府的鉅額資金將進入埃隆的口袋，他就能在未來的特朗普總統任期內獲得一些權力。想象一下，為了成為聯邦通信委員會主席而出賣自己的靈魂。呀。是以，現在不僅法律不適用於埃隆，他還將有權廢除任何他想要的討厭的法律或法規，並玩弄人們的職業抱負，要求人們效忠和政府施捨。這是史無前例的，也是危險的。尤其危險的是，請記住，埃隆是一個大
