I don't see why people are confused, rich people love socialism, many of them wouldn't be in the position they're in without it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why the hate? Musk isn’t Politician, he’s a businessman. If China wants to change it’s political nature then it’s up to it’s citizens to make that change through protests, elections etc otherwise he is respecting the will of the Chinese government no matter how evil we think it is. The same with India, should we boycott them too since the government is corrupt?
Exactly, businessmen shouldn't be held to any standard of moral or ethical consistency. This is about money, and money is good, so why all the hate?
You're joking right?
Slavery makes more money than fair wages, but money is good, and we shouldn't hold a business owner to any kind of ethical standard, so that's fine to you? That's some bootlicker mentality.
lol- always funny to meet people that prove Poe's Law.
Ok well remember that as you buy all your junk from China including the junky electronic device you use to type your message which helps further the agenda of China. LoL
Wow- you really turned the tables on me by suggesting buying a dvd player is roughly equivalent to being a exploitative billionaire. I really have a lot of soul searching to do ;)
The lesson is: Never criticize anything ever.
Don't you know if you make a single mistake in your entire life, you're morally tainted forever and therefore lose all right to criticize anyone or anything for any reason, you dirty, impure sinner! You should be ashamed of yourself! Now excuse me while I go commit my seventh puppy genocide of the day.

I'm pretty sure they tried that...
You don't see any issue with him bitching about "free speech" constantly and then pledging his support to the largest authoritarian government in the world?

Easy for you to say, you're not the one who'll be turned to tank-mush and hosed down the drain.
this is why they call the person you’re responding to a “tankie”.
Can we kick Muskrat out of this country? Preferably into the Pacific Ocean?
Lmao, why are people butthurt about this? The dude’s been using cobalt mined by children for the Tesla batteries, he’s not exactly out here to be ethical or anything.
Muskrat is a greedy fuck and he will do whatever he can do to get more money.
