Lmao "call your congressman" from a billionaire. In 2020 Elon was able to get the governor of the largest, richest state to drop COVID restrictions for his factory. Now he's tweeting as if he were a #Resistance poster.

Does he think that calling your congressman works?

I mean it works for him. It would be pretty funny if he thought things just worked like that for everyone.

Depends on who’s doing the calling

It works on occasion for certain issues if people do it en masse. Just not a path to systemic change
