Systemic racism is so bad in America that when a White man kills another White man, White people try to blame Black people

Elon Musk loves that and wants to make it worse

#6 and #20 are truly evil and I'd never even heard them before.

Saw my first cyber truck up close and boy, is it ugly! Pix just don’t capture the sheer size and awfulness, plus the veneer of stupidity laid on by its owner thinking it was a good thing to buy. And it was tightly parked at a slightly seedy mall in inland California, which tells you the purchaser has no money left to buy things and is hoping someone will steal it.

You forgot Elong's attempt in 2013 to get NY Times Technology writer John Broder fired because Broder (in January 2013 - WINTER) had a less than stellar experience and review of the Model S. See, https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/automobiles/stalled-on-the-ev-highway.html

Further, to show how the faithful submit to Elong, more than a dozen experienced Model S drivers then did their own trip and, lo and behold, they made it easily. Of course, Broder's only experience with the Model S was the two or three hours of instruction he got from Tesla when they delivered the Red Car to him.

The dozen, or so, Tesla mafia members in their demo drive, were not only experienced, they worked in concert and had all sorts of gadgets to help in their heroic drive.

An Aside: one of Elong's complaints about Broder was that he dared to drive over 55 mph on the New Jersey Turnpike. (As a former experienced NJ Turnpike driver, it's virtually impossible to go as slow as 55 on the Turnpike.)

I'm reading a terrible SF novel - the "Melon TusK" character is named -

UFUK ERDOGAMUS.

Say it out loud. Yes, the book is that bad.

"one of those maxi-pad trashcans."

`

Years ago, I was in a public bathroom in the mall, and there were those little metal trashcans between the stalls.

Some woman was in there with her kid, who was maybe 4 [??], and was fascinated by them, and couldn't figure out why there was "a little house" in the bathroom.

When you are so big a winner at being the worst possible loser does something weird happen at the subatomic level so that a butterfly somewhere in an Amazon warehouse organizes a Teamster Local?

Maybe there is an upside to the downlow on Elon?

#49, it was $23B in TSLA shares, not $23M

Trump has been sold to the American public as a hugely successful businessman and Musk as a techno genius Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just goes to show you what slick marketing can do. The question remains...who is doing the marketing??

One thing I have to hand to PAB and Enron Mush is that they both have the superpower of seeing how goddamn gullible the average American is and capitalizing on that stupidity. Anyone with half a brain could see through either of them, but unfortunately we now have a population that is apparently operating on a third of a brain.

That whole Kek/Pepe the Frog stuff is, what, six or seven years old? It's like Ramaswamy calling out American youth for hanging out at the mall when no one's done that since the glory days of 'N Sync.

...and lectures Americans on their choices of TV show characters that haven't been current since *he* was a teenager.

Maybe them darn kids shouldbe watching Bollywood movies instead...
