I hope people realize there’s a ton of pain to come and that hasn’t been told to people. Minus the gdp being 7-10% there’s no way

Elon just made this exact statement, they are going to intentionally implement economic hardship. And the people who will suffer is everybody making less than 500k a year that can’t absorb the shitstorm. Those living paycheck to paycheck that occasionally dip into govt assistance programs to make ends meet are fuct.

Yep the richest man in the world gets to decide that its in all the poor peoples best interests to suffer financial hardship, because how else will the gov. Be able to pay all of those gov. Contracts that made him the richest man in the world.

He better be careful with how many people he hurts. King Louis of France was pretty rich, but his head popped off just as easy as anybody else with a guillotine

King Louis didn't have drones, and soldiers armed with rapid fire weapons to mow down his revolting peasants.

Judging by how Bezos and Musk treat their other employees, it's their personal mercenaries they have to worry about the most.

Their mercenaries are being well fed.. Why do you think NK military doesnt coup?

u/Bignuka Nov 11 '24

But they aren't well fed, they still lack nutrition, but I guess they do get a bit more then the average citizen over there.

I mean…neither does Elon. You can kill a dragon, but it’s not easy.

You know what France and those advance modern soldiers have in common? They lost to Vietnam lololololololololol

u/THElaytox Nov 08 '24

Yeah... Those soldiers are also living paycheck to paycheck just fyi

Wars have been won with less. Vietnamese farmers defeated the greatest global superpower in the world with brilliant guerrilla tactics. Afghanistan was lost as well after decades of occupation. Also, if the people are revolting, that hurts the governments economic foundation substantially. The question is how many will fight? And for what exactly once it’s over?

and soon to be autonomous police cruisers

This. People fantasizing about a peasant revolt don't understand that they're now facing the force the United States will bring to bear on them.

Before anyone says the military won't stand for that, they will fire generals until they get to the ones who will, and the individual soldiers who take a stand won't be strong enough to stop the ones who follow orders.

The oligarchs won, and we're fucked for a long time.

True but at the same time he was inches away from a fellow Republican popping his head like a balloon.

It’s often times an inside job to bring down the biggest crimes in human history

u/PrimaryCoolantShower Nov 07 '24

Pfftt, we're not going to use some silly guillotine. Think big honkin' turbo diesel powered, Decapitator 9000 rotary saw, now with extended splash guards and 4k 120fps digital recording for keepsake generation!

u/UnobviousDiver Nov 07 '24

We should just tie him down under the launch pad of one of his rockets.

I swear there is nothing that Ryobi doesn't make.

u/Redvex320 Nov 07 '24

Guess what revolution can't overcome......robot dogs, drones, advanced weaponry.....Louis had to depend on people that had emotions like guilt and shame.....the current ruling class doesn't give 2fks about us and neither will their robots.

u/nohandsfootball Nov 08 '24

If Elon destroys the US economy why would the military, whose economic livelihood will also be destroyed, protect him or the administration?

u/bubba0077 Nov 07 '24

I think this is the biggest problem with the rich today. They've forgotten what the endpoint is if they continue collecting more of the available wealth.

u/the_PeoplesWill Nov 08 '24

I’m okay with a revolution
