Friends who own Teslas are happy with the car, but they are remorseful and ashamed of the connection to Musk. Weirdos driving the truck toy get laughed at mercilessly. Great brand you got there, Elon.
I'm beginning to suspect this guy isn't a genius at all, but just used his generational wealth to buy himself a seat at the table, and then have himself declared the host.
He had enough money to play the game, a grifter's gift of pretending he could do things he couldn't and then was paid to go away from practically every business he was involved in, hence his frenzied need to have a controlling interest in all of his current companies.
No. You are sensible and intelligent. I call it SMCH, for social media cancer hell. I predicted the abattoir it would bring, fifteen years ago. Feel like Cassandra.
These days, I only use it when referred to from someplace else, like if a news article cites a tweet. And even then, half the time it takes way too long to load and I give up.
yea, he'll still have billions but he's headed towards getting voted off the board Tesla. If Apple can do it to St. Steve they can do it to Melon.Stockholders would be better off if they let Ford do a hostile takeover and actually put some of their patents on battery tech to good use.
SpaceX is facing losing their government contracts and DHS seizing control of Starlink. He might technically still be a billionaire after either on of these happens but his ability to fuck up millions of other people's lives will be significantly diminished.
Dead moose in the stream we drank out of during my summer doing geologic mapping in NH. The water was filtered in the sense of having window screen to keep the leaves out of the intake pipe to the house, which was laid directly in the stream uphill of the highway at least.
In the Civil War, when retreating each army would slaughter cows or whatever they had handy and dump them in obvious water holes, to discourage the enemy from using them (remember, this was just before things like bacteria had begun to be understood). Even so, the soldiers swiftly learned how to cope.
And of course those employees came back to work with smiles on their lips and songs in their hearts.
The first trade publisher I worked for had the most incompetent upper management I've ever seen. That's exactly what they did -- lay people off, then realize, duh, we don't have anyone to do the work they used to, so yank them back. One graphic artist I knew got bungeed like that, and he came back with an attitude sour enough to melt steel. Who can blame him?
“Some of Biden’s loyal supporters in Scranton, a former industrial city of 76,000, were upset to see party leaders put pressure on the president to step aside.”
Oh? Sounds like we are going to get some quotes from some Biden supporters who are still upset. Let’s see what we got.
Diane Munley, 63, says she called dozens of members of Congress to vouch for Biden. Munley eventually came to terms with Biden’s decision and is now very supportive of Harris.
“I can’t deny the enthusiasm that’s been going on with this ticket right now. I am so into it,” Munley said. “It just wasn’t happening with Joe, and I couldn’t see it at the time because I was so connected to him.”
Yes, nothing says on the fence or upset like “I am so into it”
Robert A. Bridy, 64, a laborer from Shamokin, Pennsylvania, traveled on Saturday to the rally to show support for Trump. He said the election feels tight in this state and added that his union and a close friend are trying to convince him to vote for Harris and other Democrats, but he has voted for Trump since 2016.
They've turned into an introspective circle jerk. No one reads the MSM except the MSM and the pundits, and the pundits only read it to see if they're mentioned.
Everyone else has moved on. The bias is so obvious, it's laughable.
Elno should invest in sinks. sinks are the future!

God has the dumbest sense of humor. Indeed. Sometimes god is a real a$$hole.
Never had a Xitter account, and I've never been more happy about it.
Nor me. Never saw the appeal. I iz Old and don't much care what randos elsewhere have to say on the state of anydamnthing. HARRUMPH
And get the hell off my lawn!
Amen! And that should go without saying, amirite? ;)

This is your monthly reminder that if you still use What Used To Be Twitter (or God forbid, pay for it) you are helping to enable this asshole
Shitter was NEVER good. Dorsey was a cunt. However, compared to Felon Muskrat.......!
Maybe I am officially an Old Crank but social media in general has been a net minus for humanity
No. You are sensible and intelligent. I call it SMCH, for social media cancer hell. I predicted the abattoir it would bring, fifteen years ago. Feel like Cassandra.
These days, I only use it when referred to from someplace else, like if a news article cites a tweet. And even then, half the time it takes way too long to load and I give up.
I ignore those articles.

He has billions, but he's not worth billions.
I loathe the notion of "net worth" or worse yet being worth whatever one's wealth comes out to.
Musk is the “SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO?” Shitlord of all timelines in the multiverse.
Yeah, and how much of his $$$ did he actually EARN himself?
I actually once had a dead raccoon rotting in a crawlspace under the house. It was…unpleasant.
Skunks are worse. As are dead bloated moose carcasses you find floating in a lake you're using for drinking water. (Happened to me in AK)

The question was did he come back with a salary that represented his actual value to the company?
Maybe he should put some more of his own money into Twitter. He's not going to succeed if he doesn't have skin in the game.
Seriously Maureen Dowd?? Good thing nobody gives a shit about you anymore.
“The Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup.”
Maureen Dowd is still alive?
Dowd? Not "relevant" as the kids say today.
Lady, you want a coup? Try looking at footage of JANUARY FUCKING SIXTH, 2021.
Starting to see Tesla's with the logos removed, wonder why....
As if nobody will see through that.
Because it looks like an intrauterine device?
Heres another msm gem.

Umm…what? Is this even in the right article?
Today in the msm, same as every other day.
They've turned into an introspective circle jerk. No one reads the MSM except the MSM and the pundits, and the pundits only read it to see if they're mentioned.

On NPR: By any sane metric, the economy is doing better than ever. So we
Will now interview people who are worried about the economy.”
It worries me more that those worried people haven't found a useful source of news.
And there's more good publicity on the way!
Chechen warlord invites Musk to Russia after he's filmed driving machine-gun mounted Cybertruck

Hopefully he goes.
And stays.
Vlad is looking for a few good men.
