Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Cthulhu 2020]

I'm not normally one to analyze body language, but Musk shaking Trump's hand was an absolutely and undeniably submissive moment. He lowers his upper body while shaking Trump's hand and looks up. I mean we already knew Elon was kissing the ring, but I didn't know he would absolutely submit to Trump. Oh wait...

I just remembered Trump's tweet from 2019 or so where Elon visited the white house and Trump called Elon a little bitch simping for government funding from daddy Trump. And Elon went "Yes daddy can I have some more?"

But if you're insane like Musk is now, and you're after Trump's support, and you're still smart/brilliant like Musk apparently somehow retains, then that's how you greet a known narcissist. Anyone seeking Trump's favor should do just that.

Isn't paying people to vote or to sign up to vote illegal?

[Anastacy]

I love how the two things it focuses on aren't really in danger. They're just trigger words.

Now Elon is pulling out his inner Theodore Bagwell.

I can just imagine him saying "Hold my pocket, Fish" to Trump in this photo.

Maybe I'm misattributing the tweet, but I'm pretty sure he's one of the idiots who unironically goes "The Empire were actually the good guys in Star Wars! If you just think about it!"

Pretty sure he recognizes that the Empire are the bad guys. He just thinks that he's the Rebel Alliance.

Bingo. At the cost of a little dignity, he gets Trump to see him as a "loyal ally" rather than a threat. That's enough for Elon to get an immense amount of influence in a possible future Trump Administration. And its not like he's going to need to keep it up for that long - fours years, tops, presuming Trump doesn't die, or get removed by his and Thiel's hand-picked VP before then.

Funny fact, Trump is more anti 2nd amendment then the Democrats.

Trump literally said they should take peoples guns and worry about the legality of it later.
Just another reminder that Republicans have no concept of reality.

I heard this today, but it was from over 6 years ago. This is how wrong Trump is about abortion and pregnancy, always has been.

“Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change,” he said. Trump’s prepared remarks had him saying “torn,” referring to late-term abortion, but alas.

This is the Elon thread, guys, not the Trump thread.

Por que no los dos?

Nothing these people do will be illegal if they win. That’s the play. Do anything to win because if Trump loses they all lose and are fucked for a very long time. They will not allow him to lose.

I love how Elon actually bent the knee and is proud of it. What a pathetic excuse for a human

[Jessicka]

Where’s these nationalists when some foreigner is buying undue influence in their political system?

its a petition, they are not paying people to vote. Its not illegal regardless of if they win or not.

The Supreme Court refused Monday to hear an appeal from Elon Musk’s X Corp. on the company’s claim that special counsel Jack Smith took an unlawful deep dive into Donald Trump’s social media account without notifying the former president.

X Corp. begged the Supreme Court in July to determine under what circumstances a tech company can be compelled to turn over information on its users, while being prevented from alerting those users that they’re being investigated.

The court did not publish a comment Monday, and there were no dissents.

Last year, Smith’s team was able to use a “nondisclosure order” to prevent X Corp. from notifying Trump that prosecutors were using a search warrant to obtain private communications from Trump’s X (formerly Twitter) account, including direct messages, location data, and his drafts from the weeks leading up to the January 6 insurrection.

When X Corp. challenged the order, it was found in contempt and fined $350,000. Prosecutors argued that notifying Trump of the search would endanger the evidence.

Damn, Leon loves spending money on pointless shit. Also, more losses for conservative legal causes tilting at windmills.

Kids, if you see a Cybertruck on the road:

• Maximize your distance between them and yourself. Pull over and let it pass if needed.
• The driver almost certainly doesn’t have insurance.
• Someone will probably get killed, even if we’re only in a minor fender bender.

GEICO, the second-largest vehicle insurance underwriter in the US, has decided it will no longer cover Tesla Cybertrucks. The company is terminating current Cybertruck policies and says the truck “doesn’t meet our underwriting guidelines.”

There's one in my neck of the woods, I occasionally see it parked around our grocery store/shopping area. I, and seemingly everyone else, gives it a wide berth. I've never seen the owner, but I just automatically assume they're a complete idiot/asshole who can't fucking drive. And their parking job often reinforces that assumption.

Leon's mom, on Twitter, is now actively and specifically encouraging voter fraud -



Reminder: It's always Republicans attempting to or engaging in voter fraud. Always.

It's always funny because after the election you see like 20 news headlines where some Republican was like "Well I just HAD to register to vote 20 times in 20 places, the Demoncrats are importing illegals and we have to take back our Republic!"



Anyway, I wonder why advertisers are leaving X... it's a total mystery...

Warning: Straight up nazi shit. Somehow many of the replies are even worse.

Honestly this tweet might be way, way worse - https://x.com/realstewpeters/status/1843306384059949153

What the fuck am I listening to and watching, in combination?
