Blood Money: The Corrupting Power of Wealth and Greed
Elon Musk labels us the "parasite class." To him, anyone challenging his unchecked power or Donald Trump's dangerous rhetoric is merely a Non-Playable Character (NPG)—a term borrowed from video games, reducing our existence to background noise in their dystopian narrative. But let's set the record straight: the true parasites are those who exploit this nation, amassing wealth through blood money while masquerading as the champions of the American populace.
With Trump reinstated as president, and Musk amplifying his platform with extremist ideologies, we're witnessing the construction of an empire built on the suffering of those they disdain.
The Business of Suffering
Trump's legacy is steeped in exploitation. From unpaid laborers at his defunct casinos to the deceit of his sham university, his history is a chronicle of debt, deception, and devastation. Now, back in the Oval Office, he's dismantling democratic institutions while siphoning funds from his supporters under the guise of legal defenses and campaign contributions.
Musk isn't merely a bystander; he's an active accomplice. Once hailed as a free speech advocate, he's transformed X (formerly Twitter) into a loudspeaker for extremism, suppressing dissent while profiting from hatred. His enterprises, including Tesla and SpaceX, thrive on government contracts, feeding off public funds while he derides the very citizens financing his empire. His vision of a workforce living under corporate dominion is nothing short of modern-day serfdom, thinly veiled as "opportunity."
And us? In their eyes, we're expendable. If our votes, labor, or taxes don't align with their agenda, we're dismissed as NPCs—faceless entities in their perverse simulation.
The Endgame: Profit Over People
Under Trump's renewed presidency, bolstered by Musk's influence, we're bracing for intensified assaults on our rights and well-being. Policies favoring the ultra-wealthy, erosion of labor protections, environmental deregulation, and the dismantling of social safety nets are on the horizon. Their agenda is clear: keep the working class struggling while billionaires accumulate wealth.
Already, we're witnessing the consequences: workers perishing in hazardous conditions, children confined in detention centers, healthcare becoming increasingly inaccessible, and social programs being gutted—all to satiate their greed. THIS IS BLOOD MONEY!
This isn't a game. We're not NPCs, and we're certainly not the parasites here. If opposing billionaires who profit from human misery brands us as "NPGs," then we wear that label with pride.
To Trump, Musk, and every profiteer thriving on human suffering—fuck you.
