Can anyone explain to me what Elon was trying to do with the salute?

This is false

I came over to Nostr because of Elons censorship
I just spent a half hour reading his tweets from Christmas and the days after
Including his “GO FUCK YOURSELF IN THE FACE” tweet
Just shocking all around. See I’m a US tech worker and I am at risk of losing my job soon due to H1B and PERM

I joined Nostr when I realized Elon is a little bitch

“Nostr. Yes. They have their relays in China. Very bad
We have relays in trump tower. They’re gold plated relays. The best relays.
But yes truth social is better our relays are even better”

Powell is a never trumper. He kept interests rate a full point higher than necessary in trumps first term to suppress the economy

So we just bought a new home with a basketball court. I’m finding it to be a surprisingly good source of exercise just to shoot hoops for 20 minutes

Have you heard about the election of 1876? Blows the Hawaii part out of the water…

It was a long shot from the start but it wasn’t unconstitutional. Sort of like an onsides kick
The reality is that once the votes are counted there are not many legal remedies
It was almost certain pence would certify but he could have said that weeks before so as to set expectations correctly. Instead he gave trump supporters false hope
Yes it’s all moot but it is also interesting to see our system be so tested over the last decade and yet…we’re all still here and doing ok

Nixon certified Kennedy’s election in 1960. Interestingly, Nixon also changed electoral votes for Hawaii from being his to being Kennedy’s, as votes came in long after Election Day when the electors were chosen
This was due to it being Hawaii’s first presidential election (it only became a state in 1959) and so the state government there had no experience running elections
This was the precedent Trump was hoping Pence would use to not certify Biden’s win

There are some who believe it was his job not to certify given the circumstances

So there’s a guy who has been looking for work in the tech sector all year long. Good guy, decent dev. He’s a US citizen
He has applied to hundreds of jobs through company websites and LinkedIn over the last year. Not a single response. Not one. Ghosted on almost all of them
I found a job in his area that was limited to US citizens for a FAANG company. Some security issue. He applied. Phone interview last week. First in person interview this week
US citizens are not being considered for most tech jobs right now due to citizenship discrimination
This guy isn’t even white. He’s Dominican

To be honest I did not see it that way
Elons legitimately did improve things in a lot of ways, I remember people getting banned before he came for the most obvious political reasons
And then it all stopped and almost all accounts were reinstated
But then he took so much flack on Christmas Eve over the H1B issue that he shut it all down two days later
And then he went even further. Now it’s worse than before. He’s just going to greater lengths to hide it

2025-01-06 08:26:37

So you’re telling me that while Elon is bragging about bringing payments to x, nostr has had it for awhile?
Sorry I’m new here

When Elon took away blue checks AND only allowed blue checks to comment on his feed (and others feeds). I know of two major accounts (1M+) in this situation
Clear censorship

I documented my journey on my substack blog (link in bio). Three long blog posts on the subject
But the tldr: I am a US tech worker and I found a thread on x on nov 26th that showed me how the entire industry has been abusing the H1B visa and PERM green card (as well as others) very badly for the last two years. So I began to comment on the subject, and then it went viral with Christmas Eve with Laura Loomer’s comment about Sriram Krishnan’s appointment, with Elon and Sacks playing defense until they tapped out on the 26th and found a backdoor way to censor the backlash
For the record, I’m not a big fan of Loomer, and yes she has said and done some terrible things, but censorship is always wrong and I could see the entire goal was to rescue Elon from some very unpopular stances
So I logged off x and I’m here

Hello there! I am a refugee of the recent algorithm change on x
I look to build a following here, excited about the possibilities of nostr
