Side note, Im still not buying this "Worlds richest man" Label.

I believe that title still belongs to Vladimir Putin. his wealth is not published though. He Robbed a vast nation blind to the point that he is a living god in Russia.

immigration policies are federal regulations on the labor market. i say we open the borders

Remember that we're not allowed to call for violence, but it's okay when Elon does things like this, because allowing industry to poison whole towns isn't violence, it's just capitalism.

My power company fucked up my autopay, they then preceeded to not tell me, then they shut off my power without a note or an in person heads up, leaving it indistinguishable from a regular outage until it was dark and my neighbors lights turned on and their billing department was closed for the night. In February.

I'm saying this because all this was illegal thanks to regulations. I reported it to the government because it was danger, irresponsible, and a dick move. I think a lot of people think of regulations as stuff like wheelchair ramps and no knowingly giving entire towns cancer, but it's also shit like this, that you have to tell people that you shut off their power for non-payment and warn them before you do so they don't have to spend a night eating takeout by candlelight for no reason.

Get rid of SEC regulations so he can be defrauded on the stock market. Get rid of copyright and trademark laws so his parts can be made by anyone and his company names reused.

This would immediately isolate the US. Nothing would leave its perimeter.

Moron speaking absolute nonsense yet again.

Is he including Private Property among these discarded regulations?

So I visited Bangladesh one time, and learned they have insanely high rates of cancer there. Why? Well it turns out that (among other reasons) the farmers had been injecting formaldehyde into their vegetables because it made them last longer on the shelves, and therefore sold better.

This is what you get with no regulations. A sick and dying population.

World's richest person drunk on power

If industrialists can pollute wherever they want, we should be allowed to live wherever we want. Private property is just a regulation at the end of the day.

Decades upon decades of progress are going to be gone by the end of this.

We'll spend the rest of our lives living in a system slowly being rebuilt, if we even get that lucky.

There goes our futures. And we voted for it.

Truly a shit nation full of shit people.

a few *million dead peasants

and if another nation attacks while we're dismantling ourselves, a few *tens of millions dead peasants.

I feel like I'm a crazy person, but I'm starting to believe the conspiracy of tech billionaires trying to dismantle the government to create network states. I'm almost certain they will gut the SEC eventually as well, so they can deregulate cryptocurrency. This was a summary I've recently read: Day One of Venture Capital Takeover.

Everyone should google Network States and the cities these VC billionaires are trying to create. Stuff like Próspera, Pronomos Capital, Praxis Nation, Bitcoin City in El Salvador, Afropolitan in Africa etc. etc. The same website has long page on it: The Status of the Network State. They are essentially creating sovereign states or cities that aren't beholden to any local government laws and use their own deregulated cryptocurrencies, so that they can control all the rules and power within.

I have no idea how trustworthy the site I linked is, but I can't see what they would gain from lying about it

You have to remember that musk literally, unironically, thinks we're npcs. He actually genuinely does not think that the masses of poor people are actually people.

So no, he won't fucking care.

I say we get rid of all patent and IP laws too and see how he does.

From my point of view from the other side of the Atlantic, you guys in the US don't have enough regulation as it is. There's only one class of people that benefit from removal of the regulations you do have, and that's the top 1%. It's just going to allow them to do all of the following to make more money, at everyone else's expense.

1: Treat their employees worse than they already do, AND put them into dangerous situations legally. 2: Cut corners to save money at the expense of safety. Think airlines, airliner manufacturers, car makers, construction. The list here could be endless. 3: Well, finance/banking regulations. That will be a field day for the finance sector I'm sure.

I mean the list is potentially endless. But the three points above will keep you busy for long enough I reckon.

No, I don't really feel safe even this far away. We're not immune to all of this anywhere in the world.

In my experience, if you have a boss that bitches about OSHA and how they're totally unnecessary, you've got a shitty boss. I'm talking the kind that would get you killed to save a nickel and then go on about how they're the real victims of you going and getting yourself killed like that.

Why americans even pay taxes?

Deport Elon.

So US citizens should be able to import Chinese Teslas clones for half the price, right ?
