Gosh. I wish people hadn’t blindly pitched this guy for years. 🤪

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

I know! But man all is forgiven now! The enemy of my enemy and all that! I'd sell my legs to get Musk! And my arms! I'd want to keep my eyes so I could watch when he goes to jail.. and my ears for when he crys like a little baby bully boy when that cell door fucking slams!

Wrong target. Kara has proof of her pushback over many years.

tinner4042.bsky.social•28 days ago

The wrong people were on that plane.

Quote posting one of those people who blindly pitched him. 🔥 she’ll never own it.

If you haven’t heard Swisher take down Musk, you haven’t been listening

mel2lou.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have. But she’s also amped him up. Most recently she and Scott thought he could save Twitter. (Before he bought it). She’s since turned on him but there were plenty of “is he a genius??” puff pieces.

Time is a funny thing. I’m not the same person I was 50 years ago, and Musk isn’t the same person he was in 2020, or even 2023. Blame wealth or drugs, Musk today isn’t the same. Swisher acknowledges his many positive achievements and unflinchingly criticizes his idiocies.

mel2lou.bsky.social•28 days ago

Musk was always a just shrewd marketer. He didn’t deserve the fan boying he got, especially from someone as smart as Kara.

delong-jackie.bsky.social•28 days ago

“His many positive achievements.” Well, there’s the problem right there, isn’t it? It’s the school of “Mussolini made the trains run on time and Hitler brought Germany back from the brink of economic collapse” thinking. No thanks.

She pulled $20 million out of a Vox in the middle of widespread layoffs

Musk aides??? WTF?

melisa23.bsky.social•28 days ago

I can't tell if she's disgusted or admiring. I'll bet she can't either.

mprclntrlst.bsky.social•28 days ago

Really too bad the corporate boards at his public companies never stopped licking his boots long enough to demand he behave like an adult rather than a hype monger and carnival barker. I guess when you’re famous they let you do it. You can do anything.

recoveringxer.bsky.social•28 days ago

It isn't fame. It's obscene wealth and his boards are usually comprised of fellow rich dudes -- it's almost incestuous.

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS FOREIGN TERRORIST?

notquietmodemd.bsky.social•28 days ago

I wish Metropolitan Police Department would
arrest him, that would be chefs kiss

kevinfry.bsky.social•28 days ago

Wait. Serious question. So now who is monitoring the debt ceiling so we’ll know when the US will default? Should we be concerned we will wake up one morning and find the threshold has been crossed and the ship is starting to go down?

Why do people think Billionaires are the good ones? I never get it

blueskyllc.bsky.social•28 days ago

Holy crap! It’s Die Hard with A Vengeance. They rob robbing the treasury, keeping you busy worried about tariffs.

padresmellon.bsky.social•28 days ago

F ing trump sold out America to this nazi.

tbas7000.bsky.social•28 days ago

It just frosts my butt now, at graduation party last May for daughters of my 2 oldest friends, another old friend and her husband were there, I made some crack about Elon, and husband made a guffaw sound. He was otherwise a nice guy.

But NOW, I wish I bit his head off.

jacksez.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have always considered him an ugly human being. He has bad vibes. Now he has no soul.

kathistetser.bsky.social•28 days ago

This is absolutely terrifying. And I'm not easily frightened.

wanderingdude.bsky.social•28 days ago

Where is musk. Physically where does he perch?

femmedefinesse.bsky.social•28 days ago

Big Bang Theory gave him a cameo.

ashleymont.bsky.social•28 days ago

Including Kara Swisher

Elaborate

mylenemoreno.bsky.social•28 days ago

Whoa. That is rich. She is doing the job rn.

railish.bsky.social•28 days ago

this doubles as a cautionary tale too
BeCareful y'all, about "blindly pitching" w/ these
who've previously & mistakenly lead you here

SAY IT! Marcy

What happened to all the whines that the Musk / Trump relationship can't last and Trump won't share the spotlight? More dumb stuff from "pundits" who should know better. How many times are journalists - independent and corporate - going to make the same mistake?
