This means our kids and grandkids will need to work 100 hrs a week to survive. In 10-20 years from now Americans will never own a home and will be competing with the globe for low wage jobs. “You will own nothing and be happy”
@reynard61 that's what blows my mind. They can wrap up a ten minute spiel about skull shapes and then get super tilted when you tell them that's racist.
Musk and his freeze peach have been known to use the N word at his places of work. But go on man, call out racism. It’s telling that so many in MAGA thought his comments were directed at them. If the shoe fits…
ESPECIALLY when it's the SAME billionaires they profess are going to "make the economy better" and "lower prices while creating jobs". . . (Just not jobs for the typical MAGA goons and mouthpieces.)😂😂😂
If you're in a knife-fight and your enemy is making mistakes involving hemispherical masses of some extraordinarily dense metals, maybe you SHOULD interrupt them.

@@ATVatcher Keep in mind that the point of institutional racism is to get poor white people to vote against their economic interest. So no, "class/money" isn't what this is about. Poor white people know they are poor and if you were to replace "race" with "class/money" then the racists wouldn't vote for that. I mean, you could swap that out if your audience was rich racists but there are fewer rich people and the republicans already get both the vote *and* the money from the rich racists. And they'd lose out on that money if they said it was class war not race war. So, no. Despite how strongly you yourself feel about class, what animates the republican voter is racism not classism. They are *willing* to be in the lower class so long as there is someone who will always be lower no matter how little the white racist does with his life. Heck if you made it clear to poor racists that this was about class war they wouldn't even turn out to vote. Their "way of life" revolves around the trailer park and the meth lab. Their way of life is more important to them than anything else. They don't want more luxuries, they want an all-white country.

It's what the right is all about.

I was laid off as a software engineer and replaced by H1's, ostensibly because there were no citizens (me...) who could do the job. Three years later the 3 H1s hired to replace me (but couldn't do the job properly) were sent back to India, and I was rehired.

As someone who has a PhD in a STEM field, I find that exchange both wrong and typical of a tech bro. Yes, there’s a STEM shortage. But, also an exploitation of the program to suppress wages. Some of those people here on visas are working 80 hours a week for less than they should be paid because of the visa status.
I've noticed a lot of colleges have agreements w/ businesses, creating a sort of pipeline where students are scooped up before they graduate. without a degree they have less power negotiating a fair salary, also suppressing wages
Well, don't you know we'll produce more STEM students when we dismantle the Dept of Education? It can't POSSIBLY be that our constant chipping away at education is causing problems.
If you assume that someone vaguely calling out racists is talking about you then you clearly know you're racist. It's such a weird thing to be offended by. Good job telling on yourself.
Billionaire Tech-Bros vs The Deplorables is becoming my favorite show ever. I will never understand how so many people could be so foolish as to actually believe that billionaires would have any interest in enriching low-education, low-information, rural small towners especially when they have the resources of the world at their fingertips. Just because someone hates on what you hate on does not mean they respect you.
@@robertwallace4953 Purity test is very simple. Will you do anything the Dear Leader asks without question? My only fear is that once Trump becomes extremely confident with his power base, he might just use the Presidential Immunity Decision to kill some opposition party leaders to consolidate his position. The only question remains, would Seal Team 6 obey those orders or would they turn on the payer of the "contract'?
Maybe they'll finally learn that the wealthy owner class aren't their friends and start fighting them along with the working class left? 🤪 Too much to hope for. Probably.
So many Republicans are millimeters from getting it. The problem isn't just that billionaires can hoard parking garages full of exotic cars, it's that they control and mediate nearly all aspects of life.
Better description - when regular people have a midlife crisis, they buy a sports car or motorcycle. When a multi-billionaire has one, he buys entire governments.
When it comes to those who are mad about being "censored" on Twitter, their first mistake was believing Republicans (Musk specifically in this case) actually support free speech, they don't. But it is nice to hear that Musk believes the Republican party should be dismantled. There is no other way to interpret getting rid of "hateful, unrepentant racists". Bigotry is kind there thing, it's literally ingrained in their platform.
Bigotry/racism became the RepubliKKKlan identity when they embraced the American Bund/Confederacy/Dixiecrats, with "The Southern Strategy" back in the 1960s.

You would think they would have something better to do with their time during the holidays, especially considering that celebrating Xmas was banned for the last four years. 🤣
I'll take any form of schadenfreude I can since I was denied it on November 6th. Just wish we weren't on the same boat with these short-sighted morons.
Musk has tweeted the "great replacement theory" antisemitic theories, straight up racist things about black people. And he is saying racist in republican party is the issue.
Yeah, he played them to get power. Now he doesn't need them, he can piss them off, he's too dumb to realize he's kicking a hornets nest or he thinks he's untouchable.
Trump is a racist and Musk grew up in a racist South Africa. Add to the mix that the majority of MAGA is racist and we're in for one hell of a ride, complete with a show.
I initially thought the infighting was yet another distraction. Still not convinced it isn't a play, or ploy, but the removal of blue checks and such has surprised me.
Musk is as much a petty child as Trump. However, I do agree, some of it could be a distraction from the things they are really planning to do. I'm a bit surprised they are showing their hand so early, even before actually taking office (though the press seems to think they are already President). Maybe some of it is just floating ideas to see what they can get away with. It's going to be a long 4 years, constantly trying to figure out did they mean what they just said, is it just a distraction, etc. I'm not sure I have the energy.
In 2016 i saw a guy in a pizza shop with a shirt that said “I’m deplorable.” I asked him if he was a Nazi. He said he wasn’t. I said “By “deplorable” she meant Nazis. Why do you think she meant you?”
Hah. It's often the problem of the populist authoritarian, they always end to have to choose between "populist" and authoritarian and they always end up choosing authoritarian.
And if we're really lucky, Trump's mind or body will give out before then. Until then, remember: do not comply in advance, and make the Trumplicans waste time.

Hopefully it’s going to be only four long destructive years and not more. I feel like we are living in a nightmare and when are we waking up from this?
I am a retired engineer. I worked in the USA, with Indian engineers from TATA and other firms. They were better book learned than we are in the USA. But they had zero creativity and could only work in very clearly defined projects with little ambiguity. After, working on projects in the USA many changed, they became really great engineers with all the tools we needed them to have. At best it took 2 years, some it took 5, and some returned to India because they could not adapt. Musk, is a top down, guy, his way or the highway, non-native engineers are easier to boss, and he does not want creativity at the lowest levels, he wants compliance. This is why he wants foreign help.
Toward the end of my plastics career, the trend was outside hires, without hands-on plastic experience, for stupidvisors. I was not bashful about telling management: "Hell, I can make a foreman/shift supervisor out of a molding tech in six months. I MIGHT be able to make a molding tech out of a stupidvisor in six YEARS".
The issue isnt a skills issue. The US produces some of the best engineers available in the world. The problem that Musk and his ilk are facing; they have to pay them US wages. H1B visa abuse was rampant in the early 00's under W. Bush and even into Obama's term. There was a crackdown that forces companies to actually use the H1B visa program as it was intended; not as a skirt around to hire cheaper labor to run their businesses. Something especially important to note here: Musk is *NOT* an engineer. He's a mediocre programmer at best. He is not an authority on what constitutes good engineering.

Lumpy's voting base may not be the brightest bulbs in the tree but he certainly taught them how to applaud and cheer on cue, like trained seals. I don't see any evidence of Musk and RamaSwami wanting workers that are any smarter than that.....
They are agitating for a new era of transatlantic trade in indentured servants.....

@@annejohnson5875 shush you, must not let them know just how entertaining their shit show is. Just sit back and watch.
As someone who has a PhD in a STEM field, I find that exchange both wrong and typical of a tech bro. Yes, there’s a STEM shortage. But, also an exploitation of the program to suppress wages. Some of those people here on visas are working 80 hours a week for less than they should be paid because of the visa status.
Indentured servants.
More $$ for the people at the top...
@@flor9389 yep. Imagine that wealthy people and corporations making money off immigrants.
Same at the top as it is the bottom.
I've noticed a lot of colleges have agreements w/ businesses, creating a sort of pipeline where students are scooped up before they graduate. without a degree they have less power negotiating a fair salary, also suppressing wages
Well, don't you know we'll produce more STEM students when we dismantle the Dept of Education? It can't POSSIBLY be that our constant chipping away at education is causing problems.
Faces, meet leopards
This might be hopium. I don't trust MAGAt's...their ability to move the goalposts is epic.
They're the _reigning champions_ of moving the goalposts.
Their ability to shoot through their own foot to make the new hole for the goalpost is equally epic.
Moving goalposts is an old-school republican trick. Maga did not invent that.
Tech oligarchs are well equipped to promote their interests and marginalize their critics.
Hopium haha I want to be a hopium addict it feels better than a doomarang
If you assume that someone vaguely calling out racists is talking about you then you clearly know you're racist. It's such a weird thing to be offended by. Good job telling on yourself.
Billionaire Tech-Bros vs The Deplorables is becoming my favorite show ever.
I will never understand how so many people could be so foolish as to actually believe that billionaires would have any interest in enriching low-education, low-information, rural small towners especially when they have the resources of the world at their fingertips.
Just because someone hates on what you hate on does not mean they respect you.
Don't interrupt them while they are ripping each other apart
Let them fight

Let the "purity tests" begin.
@@robertwallace4953 Purity test is very simple. Will you do anything the Dear Leader asks without question?
My only fear is that once Trump becomes extremely confident with his power base, he might just use the Presidential Immunity Decision to kill some opposition party leaders to consolidate his position. The only question remains, would Seal Team 6 obey those orders or would they turn on the payer of the "contract'?
I’m loving this. Keep fighting among yourselves, Maga. It spares us just that much more time of having to deal with your attacks on democracy.
Maybe they'll finally learn that the wealthy owner class aren't their friends and start fighting them along with the working class left? 🤪
Too much to hope for. Probably.
If someone denounces hateful, unrepentant racists, I won’t for a second think they are talking about me. 😂
So many Republicans are millimeters from getting it. The problem isn't just that billionaires can hoard parking garages full of exotic cars, it's that they control and mediate nearly all aspects of life.
Better description - when regular people have a midlife crisis, they buy a sports car or motorcycle. When a multi-billionaire has one, he buys entire governments.
Every accusation is a confession! We hear you Elon! Thank you Belle . This is good for New Years merriment!
LOL , well if they thought that the comment was about them , then it was!
A hit dog will holler…
Reminds me of "If the shoe fits. . . .
…bless their hearts 😊
When it comes to those who are mad about being "censored" on Twitter, their first mistake was believing Republicans (Musk specifically in this case) actually support free speech, they don't. But it is nice to hear that Musk believes the Republican party should be dismantled. There is no other way to interpret getting rid of "hateful, unrepentant racists". Bigotry is kind there thing, it's literally ingrained in their platform.
Bigotry/racism became the RepubliKKKlan identity when they embraced the American Bund/Confederacy/Dixiecrats, with "The Southern Strategy" back in the 1960s.
_"contemptible fools" "unrepentant racists"_
He's talking about trump, isn't he ?
No, I would say he talking about the 'red hat' crowd that follows trump. BTW he won the election with 29% of the eligible voters, apathy was actually the winner of the 2024 election.
Maga in general
He's talking about the entire Republican party, including himself.
There are good contemptible fools on both sides of the republican party...
I've got to say, watching the MAGAverse slowly implode as the year grinds its way out IS THE BEST POSSIBLE CHRISTMAS GIFT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN 😂
You would think they would have something better to do with their time during the holidays, especially considering that celebrating Xmas was banned for the last four years. 🤣
I like how you use each other like emotional support animals
I'll take any form of schadenfreude I can since I was denied it on November 6th. Just wish we weren't on the same boat with these short-sighted morons.
@@WhatIsThatAviI think those same folks were uninvited by their families after the election fallout, so of COURSE the have a lot of free time 😆
@@Echo81Rumple83 Ah, good point.
They caught the bus and now they'll fight over who gets to chew on the tires.
Caught the bus by the driveshaft and won't let go.
they do have a very important thing that binds them...greed
Musk has tweeted the "great replacement theory" antisemitic theories, straight up racist things about black people. And he is saying racist in republican party is the issue.
Yeah, he played them to get power. Now he doesn't need them, he can piss them off, he's too dumb to realize he's kicking a hornets nest or he thinks he's untouchable.
The South Carolina government will be thinking this is talking about them. Thanks Belle
And North Carolina
And W VA, TX, FLA, ID, MS, AL, GA, OK...
Trump is a racist and Musk grew up in a racist South Africa. Add to the mix that the majority of MAGA is racist and we're in for one hell of a ride, complete with a show.
The lack of awareness in musk‘s responses have been bizarre.
That comes out alot. Being unable to read or process emotional cues well. He posts like a raging 12 year old.....with $400 billion dollars.
Not just bizarre… Frightening! How the hell is this country going to function?
he's just exorcizing his freeze peach.
and yes, this comment is spelled correctly.
It's almost like the world's richest person who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, can't relate to regular folks. Or reality.
“You don’t fight them both. You get them to fight each other, and destroy each other.”
that's been the official modus operandi of this country's elite since day one.
You made me laugh so many times in this video. I don't know if it was intentional or not but thank you, regardless.
they are EATING THE CATS, LOL
I would say at this point they're inadvertently eating the "FAT CATS", aka the RICH. How ironic.
Unfreakin real. We’re going to really do this again…
The silver lining? At least this time we have some experience dealing with this ish show.
SERIOUSLY... does anyone really expect there to be honor among thieves? REALLY?!?!
I initially thought the infighting was yet another distraction. Still not convinced it isn't a play, or ploy, but the removal of blue checks and such has surprised me.
Musk is as much a petty child as Trump. However, I do agree, some of it could be a distraction from the things they are really planning to do. I'm a bit surprised they are showing their hand so early, even before actually taking office (though the press seems to think they are already President). Maybe some of it is just floating ideas to see what they can get away with. It's going to be a long 4 years, constantly trying to figure out did they mean what they just said, is it just a distraction, etc. I'm not sure I have the energy.
The Maga crew will eat themselves
Evil always does. Always.
In 2016 i saw a guy in a pizza shop with a shirt that said “I’m deplorable.” I asked him if he was a Nazi. He said he wasn’t. I said “By “deplorable” she meant Nazis. Why do you think she meant you?”
Hah. It's often the problem of the populist authoritarian, they always end to have to choose between "populist" and authoritarian and they always end up choosing authoritarian.
I long for the mid-terms in 2026 💙...
👋🏻💗
And if we're really lucky, Trump's mind or body will give out before then. Until then, remember: do not comply in advance, and make the Trumplicans waste time.

Musk was never about free speech ... only free self-adulation.
Morning Belle and internet people!
Muskellunge making things worse seems to be on target for him. I doubt The Orange Horrorclown will be able to actually calm the infighting - his speciality is causing chaos and unhappiness.
Well Donnie's a narcissist and the one move that narcissists always can be relied on to pull, is the discard.
If we can hire a reality TV figure to be president, and a weekend Fox TV host to run the Pentagon, musk should be more than willing to hire a truck driver to design cars. You know - shake things up.
With any luck the fracturing will become an implosion by the mid-terms

“The contemptible fools are those in the republican party that are hateful unrepentant racists.”
In other words, the deplorables….
Too bad this won’t be seen as quite as offensive coming from a rich tech bro…
POPCORN INTENSIFYING!!!! Trump will either just be the toadie he is to money and Musk or he's going to have to face his angry cult... Poor baby.
Makes “deplorables” seem rather tame now…..and accurate.
Hopefully it’s going to be only four long destructive years and not more. I feel like we are living in a nightmare and when are we waking up from this?
When you find out you really aren’t in their club.
“There’s two types of Republicans - the wealthy, and suckers. Check your bank statement to see which you are.”
MAGA may not have voted for musk, but he owns them whether they like it or not.
I can't believe the people who said crazy and horrible things during the campaign would be crazy and horrible in practice.
"I'm okay with the racism but only the profitable kind." "You mean, sla..." "Shush, shut up, shut up. Not out loud."
“Not yet.”
I'm quite content to see them picking each other off, however I am troubled by the amount of power unelected Musk has.
I am a retired engineer. I worked in the USA, with Indian engineers from TATA and other firms. They were better book learned than we are in the USA. But they had zero creativity and could only work in very clearly defined projects with little ambiguity. After, working on projects in the USA many changed, they became really great engineers with all the tools we needed them to have. At best it took 2 years, some it took 5, and some returned to India because they could not adapt. Musk, is a top down, guy, his way or the highway, non-native engineers are easier to boss, and he does not want creativity at the lowest levels, he wants compliance. This is why he wants foreign help.
Toward the end of my plastics career, the trend was outside hires, without hands-on plastic experience, for stupidvisors. I was not bashful about telling management: "Hell, I can make a foreman/shift supervisor out of a molding tech in six months. I MIGHT be able to make a molding tech out of a stupidvisor in six YEARS".
He can also use and abuse those imported workers because they can’t go to another employer. It’s work for Musk or go home
They misunderstood Musk. He wasn't supporting Free Speech, he was supporting Freezing Peaches! 🤪
Buffoons will be buffoons
'Hateful and racist' and they all think it's about them? Well if the shoe fits... lace that up and go for a walk.

Good morning Mark! I hope you have a super Saturday!
Musk and Trump can’t walk away from sun investment until they turn it into an epic dumpster fire and see it fully destroyed.
"FOOD FIGHT ! " Insert Three Stooges pie throwing scene ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing that big smile on Belle's face. There's one on mine, too.
The issue isnt a skills issue. The US produces some of the best engineers available in the world. The problem that Musk and his ilk are facing; they have to pay them US wages. H1B visa abuse was rampant in the early 00's under W. Bush and even into Obama's term. There was a crackdown that forces companies to actually use the H1B visa program as it was intended; not as a skirt around to hire cheaper labor to run their businesses.
Something especially important to note here: Musk is *NOT* an engineer. He's a mediocre programmer at best. He is not an authority on what constitutes good engineering.
Get rid of the racists in the GOP? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😅 That would be the entire freakin' party!
LOL
As always, I am so appreciative of you, Belle!
Gooooood morning Belle! I hope that we can survive the shit show of predator Chump and his band of misfits!
I'm looking forward to the day when this entire country gets sick and tired of Elon Musk. Looks like that's a day approaching soon.
I've hated this man since his temper tantrum with the submarine and the trapped Thailand kids in the flooded cave. Accusing a volunteer of being a pedophile just because they didn't want his stupid mini sub was a real show of character lmao.
Where did I just read that sales of Teslas are down, but the stock is up on the expectation that the Drumpf administration will enact that which is good for First Friend?
I love to see this, especially when the MAGAverse recognizes themselves as the fools and unrepentant racists. Gotta get some popcorn.
Unfortunately, his companies hold a lot of government contracts, and I think he has some level of security clearance. He is far more dangerous than what we're seeing here. And who knows what he has going on with Putin and other dictators.
I'm so glad I'm not the sort of person who, when hearing the term "hateful, unrepentant racist", assumes they were talking about me. I mean, if the shoe fits...........
The marriage with Musk may be the first one Trump has tried to stick to.
Money is the only thing 45 has ever respected. He'll never get off his knees or stop slobbering over Musk, no matter what happens.
@@RevShifty Actually, he’s already accusing Eloi of censorship.
@@WhatIsThatAvi That might actually matter if it actually lasts more than a couple of days. At this point it's still just petulant toddlers screeching at each other in a goofy little hissy fit.
@@RevShifty It actually matters a lot to people like Loomer*, so this rift might have more legs than you think.
*I finally got to see a recent image over her and my word! She looks like a Zuni fetish doll.

Thanks, Belle! I was laughing out loud.
Then Musk targeted 3-toed sloths 🦥
Many MAGAts thought he was talking about them!🤣
Thank you Belle and team. This is good news as far as I’m concerned. Let them divide themselves.
MAGA to Musk, "I resemble that remark!"
Thank You Belle and Team for the News Highlights and Observations of The trump🤡 Show Circus.🎪
I have not truly laughed since November 7 until this morning over coffee hearing about this MAGA hilarity. If the population is so exhausted by politics, why the hell did they vote Trump in?
