You, Robot

If you want to work for Elon, you'll have to act like a robot until he can replace you with one.

Elon Musk became a billionaire in 2009, the same year the federal minimum wage was increased 70 cents to $7.25 an hour.

Today, Musk is worth more than $400 billion. The federal minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25.

Like many billionaire sociopaths, Musk is a mentally damaged person who believes his own mythology while downplaying the contributions of the real founders and inventors, workers, states (California) and Presidents (Obama and Biden) who made his success possible.

These days, when he's not bullying his own children, Musk is telling people on social media to fuck themselves in the face.

Musk is also obsessed with AI and robotics, two fields he wishes to dominate—and in which he will seek to gain massive competitive advantage while serving as America's new co-president.

Tesla has already promoted its robots as our future "humanoid friends" and even went so far as to dress up its robot family to star in this year's company Christmas card.

Unfortunately for Musk, until he's built his robot army, he still needs to deal with annoying humans.

For that, of course, he needs the H-1B visa program, which is the easiest way to "bring in skilled workers who... will work for a fraction of the cost and be happy just to be here."

Musk is still raging against the "contemptible fools" in the MAGA movement who don't like it when he calls them dumb and lazy.

Meanwhile, his DOGE buddy Vivek Ramaswamy is facing a racist backlash from X's army of anti-immigrant MAGA trolls.

As Julesbonss tells her TikTok followers, Elon and Vivek want immigrants who have been raised to have "no social life, no social skills, but can literally work for a corporation day-in, day-out asking for no time off, no paid leave, no sick leave, none of that. They want you to be a robot. They want you to be another cog in the machine."

They care, says Julesbonss, only for the work that immigrants will put into the system: "Not who you are, not anything about your culture, not anything about the arts and the creativity that you have—only that you can work in the machine and shut up and not complain about it. That's all they want out of you. And if you can't do that, they will simply find someone who will.... They are literally using you for cheaper labor because you won't complain."

As Ann Coulter put it: "American workers can leave a company. Imported H1B workers can't. Tech wants indentured servants, not 'high-skilled' workers."

The bottom line: If you want to work for Elon, you'll have to act like a robot until he can replace you with one.
