It's an Elon post so obviously he's just bullshitting, but I've seen this kind of sentiment among Amerikkkans broadly throughout my life, from the days of the Global War Of Terror up to now. It's even a common insult/comeback in media for basically any mildly disruptive behavior. Why the fuck is there this mindset that the only reason someone would ever protest or challenge the government because they don't have a job? Or that somehow having a job places you under a magical trance that makes you Fall In Line? For a country that emphasizes """freedom""" USians sure love the idea of being subservient for money.

Basically the whole point is to call you an incompetent dipshit.

Clearly you must suck so much that porky in his infinite wisdom, has ascertained that you are simply too much of a stupid inferior to have any worth. Therefore nothing you say matters. If you dare criticize one of the specials, you must be a yucky poo person jealous of the specials being better than you and rightfully writing off trash like you as useless.

It’s like the adult equivalent of “nyah nyah nyah boo boo! you’re not invited to my birthday party!”
