Musk aside, so Andrew Yang doesn’t know who Norman Borlaug is then? There are plenty other individuals who have done more for the world then Musk, but that’s the person that pops up in my mind for how directly quantifiable his contributions are.
Lol I remember how this dude only lasted a whopping 5 seconds pretending to be a progressive before accepting a shit ton of AIPAC money and talking about how much we need to defend Israel.
I think that’s actually what caused him to tank in the primaries in 2016 as well.
Man, fuck Andrew Yang
I mean, he is associated with companies like Tesla and SpaceX. If you only get your information from classic media and never open Twitter he might seem like a pretty cool guy.
The person in the screenshot is someone who ran in the Democratic primaries in 2020 as the UBI and tech guy. He definitely knows all there is to know about elon.
Okay, very good to know, thank you. Then I say fuck him.
Brings a new meaning to his Yang Gang slogan
Where’s Andrew Yin ? I expect him to not be a dumbass fascist apologizer.
Yikes. Elon’s propoganda site has done irreparable damage to the earth by helping Trump win. Elon does not give a shit about the environment, the electric cars are just for money.
Always remember that electric cars and automated vehicles are not here to save the environment or to improve transportation. They are here to save the car industry.
Touché
I’d heard people shitting on Yang and never knew why but I also wasn’t paying attention to him.
Welp.
Damn, I once thought he was cool
Happened with fetterman too. In fact, even people like JD vance (no one thought he was cool though) used to shit on trump.
How quickly the wealthy/powerful bootlick for more wealth/power is terrifying.
I’m ootl – what happened with Fetterman?
He 180d on a lot of things. Pro fracking, war/Israel, anti immigration.

Head injuries make people conservative. I’ve never heard of someone getting a concussion and turning good.
Right the great antagonising that happened by awarding Musk government contracts and electric car subsidies. Oh how Musk suffered under Democrats.
Oh how he suffered being a billionnaire (200 billion. That is more than you’d earn if you worked for over 2,000 years, 24/7, with a $200k salary each day.
Let’s say you live to be 75. You work from 15 til 70. That’s 55 years of work.
The average world citizen works around 40 hours a week.
You’d need to earn $1 million per hour, just to get almost halfway of the wealth Elon Musk has.
Does one gets this rich by work? Does anyone get this rich by smart investments?
The answer shows itself: only through stealing from people like you, exploiting everyone, and evasion, can someone acquire this much wealth.
And buying his cars I doubt that the majority of Tesla owners have been Republican voters in the past.
I read this backwards maybe. I thought someone watched the video and then saw that post in the comments section from a fake Andrew Yang account. Like bro we don’t have to hash this one out in the Pornhub comments.
I’ve been calling out this douchebag since his name first appeared on /r/BasicIncome, and my distaste has been vindicated over and over.
From UBI enthusiast to fascist bootlicker.
What a dumb ass kid
because the core concept of ubi is still keeping elitism and ultra wealthy individuals around; it’s just throwing a pittance at the lowest socioeconomic class to keep morale up and limit some of the social issues like crime caused by extreme poverty. But ultimately while some of these societal issues get alleviated you still have the very major issues of things like Elon musk accumulating enough wealth and power to influence elections and purchase modern communications platforms, political lobbying, and other issues associated with extreme classism.
He is and always was on team tech bro billionaire. He still thinks he (and they) is/are ultimately superior to most people. “Throw some money at them and they will quiet down”
To be clear, any fix to the system will take years, if not decades, to actually matter. So pushing against UBI is literally demanding that people suck it up and die while you wait in comfort for your proposed utopia.
Given that the foundation of his UBI scheme was built on top a techno-feudal dystopia, this is not surprising in the least.
I completely forgot this got existed. Huh.
Enthusiasm is important, but being champion requires a great deal of skill as well.
