  • It’s easy. If there’s too much pushback, he’s “just joking.” Then he’ll do it anyway. He “doesn’t want to,” but he “has to for national security.” Then he’ll talk about how “foreign governments don’t want me to be president because I’m too good, America has never been greater, China wants me out. They’ve put viruses in the those vote counting things. You can’t trust an election. The whole system needs to be fixed. It’s war. It’s too dangerous to have an election in war time. Our enemies are paying people to vote illegally. They look like us now. They’re smart. They’re really evil, but they’re smart these Chinese. They look like us and sound like us. <lightbulb moment> They have Canadians coming down here and stuffing ballots and they look like us. Those Canadians really sneaky, they look like us. It’s true. They look like us. And their country is so terrible, it’s sad, Canada, they have no money. They totally relied on us and I shut it all down. They were stealing from us with their tariffs. Do you remember that? They were stealing from us, and I shut them down, and now they’re broke. It’s so sad. So sad. But now they take money from China and stuff our ballots. And China gets in there with their computers and their viruses, they’re really smart those Chinese. Ching chong ping pong and they’re inside the computer. I don’t know how they do it but they do it. It’s true, they just go right inside our counting things, because our guys are so dumb. They really are. It’s all immigrants in our universities and they can’t keep up with these Chinese. But they wouldn’t listen to me. I kept saying, ‘we have to stop with all these immigrant students.’ But did they stop? No, because they didn’t believe me. They didn’t believe me! And now we have all these immigrant students, and they’re so dumb. It’s sad how dumb they are. And our guys can’t keep up because there’s so many of them. They send them over in waves. <lightbulb> It’s like an invasion. Wave after wave of these immigrants, they say they’re students, but it’s an invasion. That’s what it is, an invasion. Because we’re at war, and we can’t have an election when we’re at war because it’s not safe. So I’ll stay president, because I’m the best. It’ll be great. I’m great. I really am. Look how I shut down Canada. They’ll be begging us to take them over any day now. They’re already saying it, Canadians. They hate their government. So weak. Their Governor doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s so bad. So we’ll rescue the Canadians. That’s what I’ll do, I’ll rescue the Canadians. We’ll get them one way or another. Because they’re attacking us. They’re sneaky you know. Those Canadians. They look like us and they’re stuffing our ballots. They do it all the time. So we can’t have an election. I want to have an election. I really do. I want to. But we can’t. We just can’t. We’re at war. We can’t do it.”

    Sorry 'boot that, eh.









  • Lol, do your own homework and stop revising history based on what we know now. Your new link doesn’t say shit about musk’s intentions, just that some people said he was out-to-lunch. That does not show him being the biggest cancer. There have been plenty of times people said what he was trying to do was impossible, for example, landing rockets.

    I didn’t say and I’m not arguing that he had a product in the hyperloop and I’m certainly not defending him. He’s done plenty of shitty shit we haven’t even talked about (ahem, astrophotography). I’m defending Mark Kelly’s latest action from your holier-than-thou bullshit. There are plenty of articles talking about the change in Musk in the last three years to become hateful and right-leaning.

    Before that he was publicly calling out Trump and defending things like the Paris agreement. Tesla had pushed the all-electric vehicle to being what it is today and even if it wasn’t all him, his backing/money certainly helped and he was the face of that. SpaceX changed spaceflight as we know it. Starlink was creating a whole new way for people to access the internet (again, not defending him, I know the other side of this one, but it was becoming and has become a very important thing to a lot of people). There was the big power reserve plant in Australia 2017/2018. I think it was around 2021 that things started to fall apart publicly for the solar roof stuff, but before that there was a lot of hope around it.

    Just because you hated musk for however long you’ve hated him, it doesn’t mean everyone could have predicted what’s going on now. You want us to say you were right? Fine, assuming you’ve been saying for 10 years that he’s the biggest cancer, good on ya. You got it right.

    But if you had said that even four years ago (like when Mark Kelly bought his Tesla), there would have been a lot of people jumping on you with all the great things he’s pushed forward, despite being a weird-ass douchebag who also did many shitty things.

    So instead of focusing on calling out Mark Kelly for his mistake 4 years ago, how about saying, good, at least someone is taking an action, publicly, loudly, however small, against what’s going on now. There are plenty of them that are just sitting back and watching, focus your ire on them. Stick together and give the ones who are fighting a boost instead of trying to kick them back down because of some perceived iniquity in the past.


  • This is Elon in 2018 showing his butt

    Yes, he was a douche, asshole, fucknut, etc. Sorry I thought I had mentioned the 2018 thing in my comment but must have forgotten. That, to me, was the point where he really started his downward slide. It’s certainly an inflection point where people who thought he was a genius started to get the picture that he wasnt. But that didn’t make him the biggest cancer we have. That was mid-Trump v1 for fuck’s sake. Plus that was 7 years ago, not a decade.

    His hyperloop bullshit started around 2012-2013 and he admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that the Hyperloop proposal was only intended to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California.

    And we only learned that he said that in 2021 or 2022 or something like that!





  • Lol, that’s some real convoluted copism you have going on there.

    A. musk’s “yup” was an amplification of the xit attacking the article in question. That makes it an attack. That’s how xitter works.

    B. The point is that DOGE is the epitome of inefficiency. It’s cutting too much while the results are too little.

    C. musk’s xit attack got >19k re-xits and >200k licks (xit-lickers gotta lick) causing us to see this. What’s the responsibility of all the xit-lickers? How is that a little thing being made into a big deal?

    D. Even if the title is hyperbolic (which I don’t agree it is) 15 people on lemmy upvoting it to fight the fascist tyranny and lies spouted by musk and his xit-minions doesn’t “need to stop”. He needs to be kept in ckeck and that can’t be done on platforms owned by billionaires. If nothing else, it’s important to spread the word that musk is unable to understand the concept that something can be both too much and too little. What a genius.
