"On the same day that Trump declared he had the right to interfere in a presidential election to put himself in power, the pro-Trump owner of X, Elon Musk, reposted to his nearly 200 million followers a statement suggesting that women and men who can’t physically defend themselves are inferior to 'alpha men' and are not good participants in government because they lack the ability to think critically."

In an interview with right-wing host Mark Levin on the Fox News Channel last night, Trump complained about the new grand jury indictment of him for trying to steal the 2020 presidential election.

"'This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making,' the original post said. 'Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.'
Over the statement, Musk posted: 'Interesting observation.'”
Got that? Some people — the alpha men, who are "rational" "thinkers" — are made to rule. The rest of us are made to obey.
And Elon Musk imagines himself — astonishing, isn't it? — to be one of those "rational" alpha men.

An interesting detail that may have escaped many folks' attention as French authorities arrested Telegram owner Pavel Durov:
Durov claims to have fathered over 100 children as a sperm donor.
Like Musk, he imagines he's an alpha male ruler, and like Musk, he's obsessed with the idea of spreading his gifted alpha sperm all around.
These tech-bro rich men think they're God's gift to … everyone. And some of us let them think this.

Robert Reich offers suggestions for six ways to rein in Musk:
1. Boycott Tesla.
2. Advertisers should boycott X.
3. Regulators around the world should stop Musk from disseminating lies and hate on X.
4. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals — and if he does not, sue him under Section 5 of the FTC Act.

5. The U.S. government — and we taxpayers — have additional power over Musk, if we’re willing to use it. The U.S. should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX.
6. Make sure Musk’s favorite candidate for president is not elected.

@wdlindsy Lone Skum is delusional—as the internet’s biggest whiner, he’s the last person I might think of as an alpha!

@wdlindsy Disengage, divest, and deport.

I find it funny that Musk or the Republican candidate for President of the United States think that that they alone, with their manicured hands, can PHYSICALLY defend themselves.
And don't get me started on their critical thinking skills....

@wdlindsy He needs to be eliminated not 'reined in'. Literally trying to disenfranchise and enslave us all. Fcuk him up.

"In the world of Christian Nationalism, men work family-supporting jobs; regardless of their talents or ambitions, women’s role is to support the family not through a profession, career or bread-winning job. First and foremost, they are to submit and have as many children as God gives them."

"Fascist Republicans underpin their labor policies with the Christo-fascist notion that men work outside the home, and women stay home and mother children."

First, that's a terrible world-view that relegates women to second class status.Secondly, even if that were an acceptable state of affairs, which it is not, families today usually can't survive on a single paycheck.
So, these people live in a fantasy realm and it's galling that anyone takes them seriously.

I saw someone here on Mastodon say that contractors to the U.S. government are barred from contributing to political campaigns. Is that true, and if so, wouldn't his support on X amount to campaign contributions in kind? -
