Elon Musk has backed the deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, claiming in a gung-ho post that it is “the only solution” to the city’s drug problem.
Musk, who spearheaded mass layoffs through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency before he exited the White House in May, said downtown San Francisco is “a drug zombie apocalypse.”
His remarks follow his departure from the Trump administration following a public feud with Donald Trump and allegations that Musk himself was using drugs when he was funneling millions into the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign. He denied the allegations and said they were “lies.”
San Francisco was fine until the tech bros came in and priced everyone out. Poverty creates mental illness and that fuels addiction. Might get better if these tech bros paid taxes at a 90% rate like they would have in the 1950’s and we used that to fund universal healthcare but they seem to be pushing for a genocide instead. Who would have guessed that giving hundreds of billions of dollars to racist/sexist apartheid South Africans would be bad for America? /s
