Comment on Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up.

If you want actual change, either start organizing for a general strike or a civil war, since stopping Musk is not on the ballot, and most likely won’t be for either of your lifetimes.

I mean, if your problem is just narrowly musk, the one guy, you don’t need a whole war; just one shot.
I’m not advocating this, just pointing out, you know? Not that I have a problem with turning the class massacre into a class war.

The thing is, the vast majority of terrorist attacks and assassinations are organized by rich people using poor people as pawns to further their political agenda. Such things are rarely born from people who are in touch with society and are compassionate with others.
9/11 was organized by rich people to get back at other rich people for attacking their business. Even today’s right wing crazies only exist because there is a propaganda machine running on obscene wealth whipping desperate people into a frenzy.

I don’t see what terrorism has to do with this. Unless you mean the practical definition of ‘things that upset the wealthy’.
