And starts out with a Musk quote, to boot. (Assuming it's not made up wholesale; could not verify.)

We need to push these people out of California.

By “these people” do you mean the people who actually make things?

These banned industrial processes sum to making almost every physical object. The net effect is that it’s nearly illegal to make anything physical. Do you think that the state or country will do well in the long term if it’s basically illegal to actually make things?

Also funny that you Musk derangement people will never actually engage with the content of the quote’s message, preferring to dismiss it based on your political disagreement with the person who said it.

  • What’s funny is how much the chuds try to frame revulsion at white supremacy as “political disagreement” and “derangement.” As I was raised, this is actually just deadass “normal.”

    I see no reason to engage in any way with the mental flatulations of this virulently racist Epstein fanboy. The quicker his empire can be dismantled and the sooner he gets utterly shunned from polite society, the better off we’ll all be. To a lesser degree, the same goes for his eager and willing co-conspirators.

    As for California, as a resident, I’ll take environment over industry, thanks. Half my home neighborhood is already a Superfund site. Go fuck up Texas if you like.

    • Please tell me what "If I wanted to build a new car factory, I literally couldn't paint the cars." has to do with white supremacy?

      Maybe the regulations for new car factories are good, maybe they are bad, maybe Musk was exaggerating or making things up whole cloth, but the veracity of these things is mostly unrelated to Musk's views on race.

    • Again, very little engagement on ideas, but full paragraphs of derangement about "white supremacy" and "racism". Nobody cares man, you spent the last 10 years calling everything you disagreed with racism and now those words mean nothing.

      >Go fuck up Texas if you like.

      Indeed, Texas is taking a net inflow of builders and entrepreneurs, California has a net outflow. The state is booming and the future is being built in Texas. The most advanced rocket in the world, something that puts governments to shame, is being built there. Massive semiconductor manufacturing plants, electric cars, financial companies, tons of new housing (look at Austin, 25% price reduction because of new supply in recent years), all happening there.

      But I really do think that your train of thought is sort of misanthropic. Anti-progress, anti-science, and just generally being "anti-building" does not play out well in the long term. I supposed it's a lesson that generations have to re-learn.

  • Why is disliking racists political. What do words even mean.

    > These banned industrial processes sum to making almost every physical object

    The processes are obviously not banned, only an idiot would think that. You just can't do the process and dump all the pollutants into the nearby river.
