That’s the plan, but hilariously the majority of the first wave of SA immigrants moved back because they said the US was too expensive and too crime ridden. They also didn’t like the grind culture and lack of third spaces. Like yeah, welcome to hell, assholes, hope you enjoyed your stay. Now git!

Well, the thing space is moving into and across. Or the nothing.

And a shit ton of rubes are about to invest in a company with minuscule profits but a 2 trillion dollar valuation, more than the entire gdp for the US. A shit ton of people are gonna lose their asses before the price drops to something more realistic, and by then the wealth transfer to musk will already have happened.

Unlike the age of Vietnam, people today aren’t going to be moved by these numbers. Not til they’re much much larger than Vietnam’s. What they are going to care about is now that the bond market is finally beginning to slap the knuckles of investors, interest rates are going to explode, and mortgage payments/rent are going to become a problem for a huge swath of Americans who thought they could simply ignore politics.

Do what now? I haven't ever supported genocide in Palestine and I don't support Russia invading Ukraine. What are you on about?
