“FEMA used up its budget ferrying illegals into the country instead of saving American lives. Treason,” Musk wrote without evidence on X
It’s infuriating that just because some powerful people demand it, this fake claim gets spread everywhere just before the election, while Trump’s very real decision to send Vladimir Putin covid testing equipment for his personal use while American hospitals were struggling gets almost zero attention and fully silenced on the platforms used by people who need to hear it.
My brother is a plumber. The guy knows his shit. He’s been doing it a long time and he works hard as hell and he can talk you to death about piping a 40 story building. He also works for all his friends and family for free on the weekends. I act as his helper sometimes and his focus and attention to detail is amazing.
And he still has imposter syndrome sometimes.
He asked me how the fuck guys like Elon Musk can talk about stuff like they know what they’re talking about because it’s impossible to know everything about everything in a lifetime.
My brother, Elon is a dishonorable piece of shit that is too stupid to know he’s stupid.
Elon’s a narcissist, your brother is not.
It’s quite common with people who are incredibly successful, they figure:
“Hell, I’m successful in xyz, I must be really smart at everything. Everyone should listen to what I have to say about everything because I made it, and that means I clearly know better than everyone else!”i don’t understand the disconnect here, Elon was just born with money vs your brother learning a skill, and you didn’t even explain what your grievance was.
Just the ability to be introspective and honest.
I admire the hell out of natural engineers. Elon isn’t one. Your brother is.
I hope I live to see musk face consequences. Preferably ruinous consequences that don’t take down a bunch of bystanders
Or at least some kind of horrible cancer. Normally I wouldn’t wish that kinda thing on anyone, but considering how much of a cancer on society he is, I feel he’s earned it. Maybe he’ll pull a Steve Jobs and figure he knows better than his drs and leave it too long to be treatable.
Yeah, it’s either this, or he drowns in his cybertruck after accidentally backing it into a pond. That much hubris has consequences.
We can only hope
It’s completely insane that Bidens admin hasn’t ordered all of his companies with federal contracts to completely seperate musk from the companies or the contracts would be voided.
And I know Harris won’t do it either.
We’d need a much better president than we can get to do the right thing and stop the privatization of our government
It’s ridiculous that he still has a security clearance. Anyone else acting out in the way he has been would have the DOD all up in their shit. It is obvious at this point that he is a threat to national security, his public drug use and unhinged behavior alone should have been enough. Now he is getting hurricane rescue workers threatened and terrifying disaster victims into not receiving government assistance, it’s absolutely monstrous and fundamentally anti-American. That he is also trusted with secret information about US national security and receives billions of dollars from the US government is completely absurd.
Yep
Obama privatized space and let Musk have the contracts, trump never reigned him in when he got crazier, and Biden just pretends it’s not happening
It’s why I have zero expectations Harris will do the right thing and move away from privatizing government agencies.
None of this should ever have happened, but both parties are ok with it and we just do t have a 3rd option.
It’s going to be painful whenever we do it, but we need a complete overhaul of our political system, no one is really getting any representation except the richest
It’s why I have zero expectations Harris will do the right thing and move away from privatizing government agencies.
The ‘right thing’ is letting entrepreneurs make money. Yes, it might cause long-term costs in terms of societal breakdown. But, also, it might cause short-term profit in terms of those extremely wealthy people giving money to a political campaign.
After all, what’s most important is that politicians enrich people who then ‘trickle down’ a tiny portion of it back to those hardworking politicians who bravely made the world worse.
Here’s the thing.
- SpaceX is almost a space bus service where Boeing is a trash fire.
- SpaceX’s rockets can deploy troops to anywhere on the planet in like an hour after launch, and send automated cargo rockets
- starlink is a great info weapon
- driverless ambulances? Ship us some when they’re ready
Until they can separate Elon from Tesla/etc they have to abide.
Edit: rapid cargo isn’t a thing yet, okay, but neither was weekly satellite launches until it was. You guys glossed over driverless warzone ambulances and fixated on rockets as the thing to brigade over? That’s the only thing one of his companies seems to be doing well, and all before that DoD pork gets in. Be consistent, kids.
second bullet is something he came up with high on k. That rocket hasn’t made it to space yet
Of course he is. It’s not like he’s going to suffer from it.
He’ll have to spend an assistant’s time fraudulently inflating his vacation home(s) destroyed by the hurricane so that he profits. And then spend all that time and brain space deciding what he wants in the rebuild.
Billionaires suffer too.
My heart bleeds for him.
