back in 2015, i said “trump is a tarbaby for shitheads” and you know what? i was right look at these people confessing their crimes in writing to “defend” him cw csa / statutory rape

people have raised extremely serious problems with his story (namely, that Lucre watermarked the worst CSAM on earth and was clearly lying about how he acquired it) and the response is to be snarky about the bluesky pileon what is going on in the newsroom there

Studio Exec: and this makes it realistic? this is how the Spartans were? Director: yup SE: So 15 minutes of movie is huge gay orgy after each days battle? D: yup TV speaker: (Leonidas) I... am... lubed! SE: (contemplative furrowed brow)

Aside from posting CSAM on Twitter and getting away with it after personal intervention from Musk, Dom Lucre is one of the QAnon clowns who accuses Tom Hanks of being a devil worshiping baby eating pedophile and here he is getting the red carpet treatment from the New York Times

If I understand this correctly, this would also eviscerate the credit-buying program that makes up Tesla's profit margin.

*explaining to my son my idea of having a giant dog rescue where all the dogs are trained to sniff out various diseases and you can pay $100 to walk through and have a dog diagnose you by scent* my son: you could call it “plague dogters” me: I have given birth to a genius

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?

This is spot on, and it’s not just his ability to freely criticize the president that he owes to the bureaucratic arm of liberal democracy, it’s the very success of his companies — the companies that earn contracts and get subsidies, that were not dependent on a specific administration, until now.

This could be the most "log off, bro" tweet in the history of tweets, which is quite an accomplishment when you consider all of the wild stuff that's been posted there. (see the thread for other candidates 😬)

every episode of Murderbot feels like it's 5 minutes long, can't recall a show that just flies by so fast. I really like it, but wow.

The "influencer" is infamous for posting extremely violent child porn on Twitter, though was personally reinstated by Musk and later invited to the White House. Shameful for NYT to give him any framing other than "why isn't this felon in jail".

Elegantly put by Sebastian Boyd:

Almost certainly correct. I hate to hitch, but I’ve been around here too long not to. #ElonQ #tslaQ

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

My impression is that a real currency wouldn't tank when two jerks are having a slap fight

If this ever happens, it will be due to Martin Eberhard, Tesla's founding CEO and inventor of core tech in Tesla EVs, raising the issue in his lawsuit after Musk ousted him from the co. iirc @plainsite.org made those legal records available + @washingtonpost.com did *outstanding* in-depth reporting.

This isn't a normal Musk meltdown. He doesn't give a shit about deficits or anything else that doesn't affect him. This is part ego, but I also think the enormous pressure of Tesla sales imploding combined with the coming robotaxi clown show is pushing him over the edge.

An old man who falls asleep by the pool doesn’t seem so bad right now

We have a winner.

SpaceX's launch business may go to zero now. Starlink is a cash inferno so may zero as well, if not nationalized. Just spitballing here - SpaceX decommissioning (even the threat of it) the Dragon spacecraft is one of the dumbest business moves of all time.

My quick take is Elon will try to bring down Trump now, ASAP. Vance is a Musk/Theil puppet so the play would be to annihilate Trump and have Vance installed. Game Of Thrones shit.

so this is now a choice between the whims of the president and an oligarch. not good.

me, logging in and hitting refresh for my next installment in The Great Fight ™️ thread

maybe a lesson about not giving oligarchs control over certain areas

shorts be like

hmmm.. maybe this isn't a wrasslin' fake feud

hmmm... oligarch rule reminder.
