Where's the news?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

This is theatre; they are still buddies. This is an awfully lot like a Fox and Friends directed conflict phase of "The Apprentice".

Despite that trump is a known pedophile americans still voted for him, how stupid do you have to do that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

The United States is all about being the biggest: biggest cars, biggest wealth, biggest waistline, and biggest stupid.

All they needed to hear was that the opponent was a black woman and they lined up down the block to vote for a rapist, murdering fascist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He murdered somebody? I knew about the rapes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Hundreds of Thousands in his first term, and another 103 deaths per hour.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

then get ghislaine to vouch for you then.

THIS ISN'T NEWS.

We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I've known for about half a decade that he was deeply involved thanks to the brother of Jeffery Epstein who testified in court that Trump had been to the island on many occasions.

Trump was talking well over a decade ago about his good friend Epstein and how young he liked his girls.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but this is about who's saying it. Dude's rallying up his minions, which means Elon is declaring war, and I personally can't stop laughing at all this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The funny thing about Elon going to war, is that Elon will lose. Fantastically so. The ketamine must still be flowing hard. 5 years ago Trump's base hated his cars. It's only when Elon hitched his cart to maga that they started to like him. An unsold cyber trucks are in mall parking lots and his stocks globally are tanking.

So, now Tesla's stock is in the shitter. Liberals hate him and don't want his cars. And now the GOP will flip on him and also not buy his cars. He's also now going to wreck his government contracts with SpaceX. Mars will never happen for him. And now Twitter will take an even bigger hit. Those ai protections can be drafted to exclude him and his companies too.

He will absolutely damage trump and split a few people off, but he was in a losing position to begin with. Even with damning evidence and the persuasive media skills and charisma of a much more talented individual, he is so fucking cooked. Without that... Well, now there is only one psychopathic narcissist in the leadership role. So that's nice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Mars will never happen for him.

This is the biggest win for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I mean, of all things, why is that your biggest win?

Exploring another planet is at least a worthwhile goal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... Mars is cool in principal. its still easier to fix our world than to ever terraform another. It's a very silly idea. But kinda like the moon. Little steps.

Still. I want Mars to happen. just not this way. So I guess I'm ok with it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah! I'm happy if someone else decides they need it to happen, but I want it cancelled for Elon specifically. I want him to cry sad, salty tears about it for days on end.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago

I’m ok with famous people reiterating it as often as they like, honestly

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago

This gonna be a hot mess bitch break up and I’m fully onboard for it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 23 hours ago

Prove it then, coward

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He always defaults to calling people pedophiles. Sounds like NPC dialogue?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

In this case he is probably right. But he is probably also on the same list.

"Trump was on Epstein's island! I shook hands with him there!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Its classic projection.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is actually good, not just drama.

Musk is basically Trump's publicist. without him, a lot of Trump propaganda machinery is gone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

he can prove it by directing x /grok to attack trump and any magat loyalist.
