It's an Elon post so obviously he's just bullshitting, but I've seen this kind of sentiment among Amerikkkans broadly throughout my life, from the days of the Global War Of Terror up to now. It's even a common insult/comeback in media for basically any mildly disruptive behavior. Why the fuck is there this mindset that the only reason someone would ever protest or challenge the government because they don't have a job? Or that somehow having a job places you under a magical trance that makes you Fall In Line? For a country that emphasizes """freedom""" USians sure love the idea of being subservient for money.
liberals on lemmy tried to insult me 3 times by saying that i had no job and it was a strange feeling because i literally had 2 jobs at the same time when it happened.
it put on a smile on my face knowing it revealed to me that those lemmings tied their self worth to their jobs and that they were so overworked that they couldn't fathom how someone could be a software developer and a linux systems administor at the same time while still being a frequent lemmy poster. lol
