Fashy tech billionaires: I'm in control!

Legions of fashy people: Do you feel in control?

This conflict was inevitable. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Everyone always thinks that they can control face-eating leopards with money. You can't. Leopards don't want money. Leopards want faces.

@mekkaokereke While the entire reason the USA is so rich is that it allowed talented people from all over the world to gather.

If the xenophobes get their wish, those people will be elsewhere, and the wealth they generate, too.

This means the racist fools will end up permanently poorer themselves.

There's no magical point at which being all white will make them rich.

@justafrog @mekkaokereke

Billionaires like Musk are going for a global system where they end up on top: a new global aristocracy.

"If the xenophobes get their wish, those [creative] people will be elsewhere, and the wealth they generate, too.

"This means the racist fools will end up permanently poorer themselves."

@justafrog @mekkaokereke to be fair, whatever wealth is being generated by immigrants and the native-born hasn't been trickling down, due to other Reaganite policies favored by the right; it's a layered issue. The racists probably don't appreciate the existence of wealthy immigrants, they reflexively think it ought to be them, a stolen birthright of the superior race.
