  • I’m a foreigner NOT living in the US, so my opinions may or may not be valid, idk:

    Musk, asshole as he may be, is an example of something that’s always been going on in the US:

    Immigrants come there looking for better lives, work hard, and many lead exceptional lives. The US has always benefitted from this, and it’s a key reason for its’ economic dominance over the last hundred-ish years.

    However, he wants to close the door after him because other people improving their lives scares him. And people voting for slightly more humane conditions scares him too. Think about it, he’ll have fewer billions added to his net worth if he has to treat his employees like people.

    He’s simultaneously a symbol of everything that’s amazing about the US and also of everything that is horrible about it.
