Elon Musk has backed the deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, claiming in a gung-ho post that it is “the only solution” to the city’s drug problem.
Musk, who spearheaded mass layoffs through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency before he exited the White House in May, said downtown San Francisco is “a drug zombie apocalypse.”
His remarks follow his departure from the Trump administration following a public feud with Donald Trump and allegations that Musk himself was using drugs when he was funneling millions into the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign. He denied the allegations and said they were “lies.”
Isn’t he a big drug user? Does he really mean “war on poor people?”
That’s pretty much what the “war on (some) drugs” always was. Well, that and anyone else they wanted to go after - gays, Blacks, liberals, etc…with things like the cocaine vs. crack treatment really highlighting the hypocrisy. Not to mention statements made by key people like Ehrlichman…
“The war on X” has always meant “The war on the new not rich.”
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon
Guy on drugs wants war on drugs.
JFC, what an asshole. This is the guy that uses ketamine, shrooms, ecstasy and who knows what else?
I love how the rules don’t apply to any of these assholes, but the full force of the law should come down like a ton of bricks of anyone that’s not at least a centimillionaire…
The war on drugs has gone so well so far.
I’m sure this time they’ll win, they just have to crack down much harder, driving the value of drugs up even MORE, no way that will have consequences.
The important thing is it’s making the investors in police and military equipment and the people who run private professions wealthy and disproportionately harming minorities
Rich coming from the drug addict
I don’t think anyone should listen to this Ketamine fueld cunt.
He wants all the ketamine for himself. DOGE will confiscate it all and then mysteriously disappear from a storage warehouse.
He’s more ketamine than man now.
Are you trying to be daddy’s favourite again Elon?
Stick to cars buddy. Leave the sociology to those who at least care about humanity.
He’s also not very good at cars
Too cheap to put lidars and as a result people are dead.
He’s a nepo baby who’s good at failing upward, in a society that caters to such people
Is it just me or does he look like the Grinch plotting how to deport all the Whos from Whoville.
San Francisco was fine until the tech bros came in and priced everyone out. Poverty creates mental illness and that fuels addiction. Might get better if these tech bros paid taxes at a 90% rate like they would have in the 1950’s and we used that to fund universal healthcare but they seem to be pushing for a genocide instead. Who would have guessed that giving hundreds of billions of dollars to racist/sexist apartheid South Africans would be bad for America? /s
Just had dinner in North Beach. Out on the side walk. Had a lovely time as always. What the fuck are these people on? There are seedy streets in the city. Sure. But overall San Francisco is peaceful.
Boot out the neo-Nazi sack of shit drug addict back to South Africa.
Oh look, it’s America’s Most Wanted.
Then you’ll have no programmers. They need their Adderall and caffeine pills.
And weed, and shrooms, and the occasional bit of LSD and extacy…
