As if an "armada" of airliners, IF one ever existed, would fly together wing-to-wing like that. For such a "smart" businessman, Melon Husk is one big dumbfuck. Is this autism, ketamine, or some combo thereof? Holy shit.

Unbelievable that megaphone mouth Musk is so totally ignorant. Must have forgotten how to read up on a subject before he spouts lies on his personal fire hose of an alternate fact distribution site, X, aka Shxtter. Apparently his top of the line American education didn’t manage to penetrate his very thick skull.

If I wrote a book about how conservatives consume misinformation in the age of MAGA, it would be called, “If You Knew The Truth, Would You Care?” For them, the line between facts and the fabulous has all but vanished. They want to be angered, and are not soothed when lies are dispelled. In fact, I’ve tried to gently share the truth about popular anti-liberal myths to the few people I know who aren’t liberal, and they seem disappointed when a damning story about Biden or liberals proves to be false. Disappointed is the only way I can describe it. Not relieved, not surprised, just bummed. Because being angry at people they do not like is stimulating.

I have to admit that I get a certain satisfaction hearing about RW asshole stories such as these, and then feel a bit letdown if they are debunked. I would, however, love to live in a world where there is no asshole right-wing news to get charged-up about, because I know what if feels like to be happy and care-free (once when I had a cash windfall, and the right person was president, and I liked my own personal situation). I think many people in our culture have never experienced true contentedness, and so don't know how much more powerful a charge it gives you than being pissed off all the time.

How on the flat earth did Musk have any success at anything. How can you be so ignorant. Or does he truly believe that if someone posted a thing, it must be true? My sweet, naive 76-year-old mom falls for misinformation less.

Wingnut Dictionary

Secret: something uninteresting to wingnuts until it’s bathed in misinformation sufficient to anger them or become useful to harm liberals.

The program wasn’t a secret, they just know maga aren’t interested in reading or facts, and have no use for any information that isn’t marinaded in lies and propaganda sufficient to raise their blood pressure. That’s it. By the time they are corrected and explained the truth, they have moved on to the next lie, or are too loudly going “la la la la la” with their fingers inserted in their ears to hear anything else.

Maybe they should start a program where if you fly on a secret plane but pay $8 when you get to the US you are verified OK.

I’m floored by the humor on this site!

But when it comes to no comments, all I can say is "Carpet diem."

Odd that they would be importing Cubans, who prefer Republicans by roughly 58%/38%.

Not that I think that mainstream Democrats are particularly effective ratfuckers.

Tone is not 0.001% as bright as he thinks he is. Or he’s 220% of the liar Trump is. Or both. Yeah, probably both, with a hefty dose of fascism thrown in.

Dok I absolutely appreciate the detailed breakdown of why this is ridiculous bullshit. And I also absolutely know that no amount of “facts” and “laws” and “reality” will have any impact on the mouthbreathers who currently teem within Musk’s rectum.

Why is this fucktard not deported back to SA as an undesirable? Does he have US citizenship?

Also too those 9/11 terrorists did NOT come from "Latin America," where Joe Biden is treasoning all the fake voters from in Deep State double-dark secret.

They came from the land of Jared Kushner's BFF and benefactor. Trump's golfing buddies, too. Notice how those folks don't get targeted by Musk and his Musky Band?

Musk and his Musky Band is the worst U.P. polka band ever.

Wow, it's a good thing that he's a genius, or he might say something REALLY stupid.

“They are importing voters. This is why groups on the far left fight so hard to stop voter ID requirements, under the absurd guise of protecting the right to vote.”

so, like, when Reagan went a step further re undocumented immigrants, that was treason, also, in addition?

How fast was that employee who posted a “this is bullshit” warning on Muskrat’s tweet fired?

A little under .03 seconds, very thin skinned auto-ban+terminate algo.

Musk micro-doses on ketamine?

Sure Jan.

Micro in the sense of 'brewery'.
