Duh, Elon is an immigrant.

Elon is a legal immigrant. “Nation of Laws”, etc. There is a difference between a thoroughly-screened better-than-self-supporting legal immigrant and a totally unscreened welfare-dependent illegal alien. Once upon a time, that difference was obvious to citizens.

This is, of course, after how many years of the “media” conflating legal immigrants with illegal invaders? Same with semi-auto AR-15’s and actual assault rifles. Language is always the first casualty of revolutions.

Off the original topic – but it fits with this discussion about the perversion of language by Our Betters.
I was recently called to a Jury Selection panel. Briefly, some lawyers with the equivalent of a Letter of Marque were suing a phone company, supposedly to benefit the State Government. (Letter of Marque – it is in the Constitution – it turns a pirate into a patriot).
The claim was that the phone company had committed “fraud” by failing to collect a government-imposed fee to pay for the 911 emergency calling system. Of course, all we residents pay that fee in our monthly bills, and the phone company passes the money along to the government. The “fraud” claim was that the phone company had not been collecting that fee from business customers.
It is a strange kind of “fraud” where the entity accused of the “fraud” gained no financial benefit from its supposedly-fraudulent action. But an accusation of “fraud” against a big company is a good marketing tactic for a lawyer seeking a payout. A lawyerly perversion of language.
Clearly the problem was an ambiguously written law, or an honest difference in interpretations of that law, or billing software written by a somewhat incompetent $9/hour computer programmer in India. It is the kind of problem that should be resolved over lunch between bureaucrats from the government and the phone company – not in an expensive 2-week long civil trial. Needless to say … with my attitude, I was not selected for the jury.
