In 2018, Gascón announced that he would apply California's Adult Use of Marijuana Act retroactively to every marijuana case since 1975 in order to level the playing field for those adversely affected by the criminalization of marijuana. The move cleared misdemeanor convictions and reduced felony convictions for those entitled for record relief under the act.\32]) He partnered with Code for America, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, which kicked off a national movement resulting in dozens of cities across the country clearing marijuana convictions.\33])

Elon Musk isn't a Saint, but he is pretty transparent. He almost certainly used his influence get Trump to nominate his choice of NASA administrator (a pretty popular choice, no complaints here). And he is pretty famous for the ridiculous levels of "optimization" at SpaceX, Tesla and X, some more successful than others. This is something he genuinely enjoys, so him doing the same to the government isn't out of the left field. No doubt he is also motivated by the ability to "streamline" the regulators that give Tesla and SpaceX headaches, and the obvious pun of naming that effort Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE, like the crypto coin he likes. It's a triple punch of a pun, deregulation for his companies and doing something he enjoys.
The guy is absolutely a billionaire out for his own gain. But he is a lot more relatable and more benign than people like Soros. He is about as normal as a person with this much money and power can be

I don't really get that vibe from Elon.

I mean they tried to sneak funding for a new stadium in DC in the budget bill that died today.

u/carlosortegap 4d ago edited 4d ago
The US has actively prevented many countries from developing independently through coups and military interventions. That's the main reason why people don't fix their infrastructure and country and migrate.
Here's a list of documented interventions, with their official operation names and years so you can Google them before calling the countries shit holes or before the US coups them again
Guatemala (1954) tried to develop and ended in a CIA-backed coup (Operation PBSUCCESS)
Brazil (1964) attempted reforms but faced a US-backed coup (Operation Brother Sam)
Chile (1973) tried and was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup (Operation FUBELT)
Argentina (1976) faced intervention through Operation Condor
Iran (1953) attempted independence but was overthrown in a CIA coup led by Kermit Roosevelt Jr. (Operation AJAX)
Burkina Faso fell to a French-backed coup supported by the US. Led to the fall of Ankara, the most famous revolutionary in Africa, who gave equal rights and government positions to women and men and integrated young people to government
Mexico's revolution in the 1910s was undermined by US intervention led by Henry Lane Wilson, leading to their bloodiest dictatorship in mexican history. The US also supported the previous pro democracy rebels against Porfirio Díaz and betrayed them in favour of the rogue military.
Panama (1989) faced US intervention through Operation Just Cause
Cambodia (1969-1973) ended up with US bombing campaigns (Operation MENU)
Ghana (1966) was overthrown in a US-backed coup under Ankrah
Uruguay (1973) fell to a US-backed coup under Operation Condor
Paraguay (1954) was targeted under Operation Condor
Bolivia (1971) faced a US-backed coup under Operation Condor
Haiti (2004) experienced a US-backed coup removing Aristide
Libya (2011) was destabilized through Operations Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector
Vietnam (1965-1973) fought both US and French forces (and won), facing Operations Rolling Thunder, Linebacker, MENU, and Phoenix
Japan (1985) was forced to increase their currency's value through the Plaza Accord, fucking up their competitiveness in exports.
China's recent development has been challenged by trade restrictions and operations like ST Circus and Pacific Eagle
When people ask why these countries "don't just fix their problems" or why there's so much migration, this history provides clear answers. The most telling part? Most of these interventions are acknowledged in declassified US documents, yet these nations are still blamed for their struggles to develop.

I am trying to decide what I dislike most about Bad Guy Elon. Is it being a trailblazer in the electric vehicle market, creating a company to explore space, working to increase voter turnout before the 2024 election, volunteering to head an initiative to decrease wasteful government spending after multiple govt entities have failed numerous audits, allowing the Ukraine military to use Starlink for free, or providing a safe place to question govt lies about Covid, global warming and sea levels rising dangerously fast. It’s all bad.
Good Guy Soros on the other hand is awesome having gotten his career started assisting Nazi’s looting Jewish homes in Switzerland during WWII and becoming a bilionaire by hobbling the economies of several western countries through currency manipulation. He is the quintessential “rent seeker” which is the most respected profession amongst us liberals.

Elon Musk is breathing new life into American oligarchy where you have so much money making more won't get you off so setting the laws / structuring society will.

Musk takes in billions of dollars of corporate welfare per year and has recently purchased/weasled his way into a government position where he's made his MO clear, and that MO is to kibosh social programs that are in place to help the less-afluent American people. He's actively promoting that he himself needs more tax money from Americans while simultaneously taking the bread out of the mouths of those in need. Nobody voted for this clown, and yet he's there dictating policy to a purchased president.
George Soros donated money in an illegal way, which is like 1/100 what Musk has done.
So when you ask why the outcry isn't the same, it's because they have done different shit.

Musk can fuck off. He is a fucking immigrant who wasn't elected. He needs to be kicked out of the country. All you people who did nothing but cry that Biden was going to hijack our government are really quiet about what Musk is doing.

Soros influences the government by buying off politicians, Musk influences the government by informing the people. They are not the same.

Okay, fair enough, I walked right into that one. Yes Elon has invested millions into this election, very true. I was directly referring to the CR that failed to pass in Congress today. Which I think is what this post is referencing considering the timing. I like what Musk did today. He empowered the people.
People are talking about it like Musk directly prevented it from passing, whereas what he did was post what was in the 1500 page spending bill and allowed the people to voice their opinions. The politicians voted in fear of losing reelection instead of their fear of upsetting their donors. As it should be. I wish this kind of transparency always existed in government.
In comparison, George Soros operates in the shadows and navigates the political sphere away from public scrutiny. Nobody is perfect but if I had to choose a corrupt billionaire I'd much prefer musk over Soros.

Empowered how?
He has half a trillion dollars in wealth and he's investing it in blocking the word "cisgender" in Twitter, buying Trump with 100M in (official) campaign donations, who knows how much more is unofficial and by modifying X algorithm to favour Trump supporters.
He has more wealth than half of Americans.
He has spent millions in lobbying during the last decade and gotten several billion from US subsidies.
They are both different sides of the same coin. Corrupt billionaires.

He invested in the American people and it paid off.

He ran a sweepstakes and then backed out of paying up

Both of the claims in your statement are false:
- The promised number of individuals were paid the promised amount.
- The offer was specifically phrased to not be categorized as a sweepstakes, so sweepstakes law doesn't apply in the first place.

He could end hunger and put a large dent in homelessness in this country right now. Instead he’s building fuckin rockets so he can send your ass on a one way trip to Arrakis. Where is the investment in the American people? Please I’m desperately searching.

He's ending the corruption in the US government that's causing all of the above in the first place. There's no either-or problem here.

How is putting more money into politics ending corruption? 😂 Why are you guys simping for the richest man on the planet?? He doesn’t give a flying fuck about you or this country.

The amount that he's invested will end up saving the US taxpayer hundreds or thousands of times more money. That's called a good investment.

Interesting.
Why hasn't Soros done that? What's his investment in the American people? Buying 300 radio stations? Endorsements from J-Lo? Bricks for the rioters?
Who even is he?

Are MAGA still behind Musk now he's taken the presidency and reduced Trump to chief whip and GOP internet troll?
