What a cute love triangle. I wonder who’s the middle. UwU
Yep, it will be temporarily hard for all of us in the camps. Do you think it will be gas again this time around? Probably, like the last time, it will be bullets until the raw anger subsides. Then efficiency experts will be called in and determine that gas is more cost effective.
Headline is true, he will. He will also bring permanent hardship. And for some, final hardship. Like when the mass deportations turn into mass executions.
You know what comes before permanent hardship? “Temporary” hardship.
Just like temporary solutions turn into… you know.
Musk went on to clarify that that temporary hardship is currently projected to last just 4 short years.
And if you vote Republican again in 2028, surely the hardship will be overcome in that time. Or maybe 2032 when we get there.
So long story short if we don’t elect him we’re all good
All hardship is temporary. Even if it destroys the USA
Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war. After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.
From George Orwell’s 1940 review of Mein Kampf.

Goddamn.
Orwell goes hard. It’s unfortunate that he’s known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.
“Temporary hardship” for thee, but not for me
What a message to try and win a tight race on. They have completely given up on optimism, it’s only fear and death to their enemies.
“Temporary difficulties” last his entire term and then he blames the Democrats, Haitians and Puerto Ricans
We’ve been experiencing ‘temporary hardship’ since 1982.
That’s the year I was born.
My bad.
Nah he meant 1981, rest in piss Reagan.
I meant 1982 when Reagan’s first experiment with trickle down economics (cutting taxes for the rich) went into effect.
Holy shit, this guy has the same name as the Elon Musk who’s gotten billions in government contracts with NASA.
What are the odds? Anyway, I have an idea where we could start cutting costs. It’s only temporary while we make America great again. Again.
Musk got billions or SpaceX did?
Hate on Musk all you like but the people at SpaceX are busting their ass and ultimately I think it’s a good thing for the future of space flight.
Temporary only if you’re a rich, white, cishet man
Not at all if you’re rich, and not temporary even for the rest.
Hey now, it’s still temporary. The sweet release if death exists, after all
Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make
