Trump says he'll 'look' at deporting Musk as feud reignites
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-hell-deporting-musk-feud-reignites/story?id=123372908
The feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump heated up again Tuesday after the billionaire slammed Republicans over the president's spending bill…
So... pitchforks it is, ay?

#Billionaires are the problem. What's the solution?
#Spotify is facing intense criticism and boycott calls following CEO Daniel Ek’s announcement of a €600m ($702m) investment in Helsing, a German defence startup specialising in AI-powered combat drones and military software.
What do you think about your Spotify subscription funneling profits from musicians into the military industry?

@w7voa Why? That's what the technofascists want.
www.bbc.comGoogle turns to nuclear to power AI data centresThe tech giant says it will use energy from small reactors to power its use of artificial intelligence.
What can be done to stoke the divide between the millions of Christofascists and the thousands of technofascists using them to take power?
I think that my experience growing up in a very conservative pentecostal evangelical church is relevant here. They were obsessed with the End Times, the book of Revelation & the "mark of the beast".

Always remember: The incompetence is inherent. The fascist surveillance state isn't built to be accurate or reliable, or even functional - it just has to be powerful, a purpose often served better by being random & incompetent.
I say this as a warning; be vigilant about what this #technofascist approach does & who it does it to - not how it does it.

#German sign says "Achtung!! Das Spiel Ist Aus!!" — Not sure what it means, but apparently it means "Danger! The Game Is Over!" — These people know a thing or two about #Nazism and #fascism.
Another says, "There Will Be #Hell #Toupee" with a caricature of #Trump hair-do.
Yet another: "Hey #Technofascist #Broligarchs, Clean Up After Your #DOGE" — Good one!

"Just hire influencers"
That confirms what I've been saying. The crypto techno fascist right is using influencers, podcasts & youtube to shape public perception.

@ct_bergstrom I call it #TechnoFascist dreams of #Douchebagistan.
Why don't we just build Fediverse software that's inherently resilient against DDOS instead of allowing #Fasly or #Cloudflare to encircle us and reassert centralized control and censorship?
Ditto for "centralized" Masto hosting.
And eventually ditto for corporate controlled cloud services.
Self-hosting and community-hosting is the only way (edit: "only" is a bit hyperbolic) to be free of #TechnoFascist capture.
Public libraries could each offer a tiny slice of cloud services that summed together encompass a platform as resilient and wide as AWS is now. That's one of the possibilities I've been imagining and low-key getting myself motivated to talk with someone at my local branch library about. Someone has to already be working on this I also imagine.

For starters, I'm going with:
1) steal the internet + archive of all collective human experiences
2) use software to eat *ALL* of it
3) -out concentrated power into hands of a 1/2 dozen #SiliconValley #TechnoFascist oligarchs
