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.
Calvinism started in Switzerland and is very popular all over Northern Europe. This is a protestant work ethic thing, not an American thing. Weber described this like a hundred years ago.
It's also LARPing to get in the way of solidarity. Capitalists have been pitting workers against each other for centuries over "not having a real job", and so on.
