(like i would assume it's used consciously/trollishly if so -- it was like pre-Matrix redpill symbology for militia-style white supremacists obsessed with great replacement mythos)
I feel like if you tried to explain the concept of “conflict of interest” to these people their brains would fucking melt and then break out into hives
If nobody wants to have that conversation, it's probably because the idea is utter and complete garbage, and that's where the conversation ends for literally everyone but Noah Smith, so
Right up there with how fucking stupid we’d have to be to pay Starlink to have space lasers “for defense” while Elon is in any way still involved. It’s like giving Lex Luthor nukes.
OK, but Elon has launch systems and for several hours, there was a warhead missing because he fired the team of DOE people that were transporting it across the country. Fired them in mid-drive.
No no no, Lex Luthor actually managed to DO stuff and make sure it worked. Space Karen is about as competent when it comes to that stuff as Doofenschmirtz's younger, dumber cousin, Kyle
Well sure, there’s a divergence in their intelligence and competence, I mostly just meant “let’s not give more power and leverage to an obvious super villain bent on destroying our country.”
his timeline just from today really is insane. You can go into any relatively active political/finance twitter thread and there is always something antisemetic
When you think "Israel shouldn't be slaughtering civilians in Gaza" is more antisemitic than a thousand posts about (((big-nosed globalist elites who run Hollywood and made up the Holocaust))).
It would be interesting to find out if it's actually possible for Musk to rapidly unwind his private holdings in military contractors-- and the loans that float those holdings-- without bankrupting himself, but I assume the answer is "he wouldn't want to so this Senate wouldn't make him."
I’m sure Noah doesn’t want him to do that, he just needs to pinky promise that he isn’t financially conflicted in his decision making and that’s good enough
I think that is too much credit, my guess is that he thinks Elon can't be financially conflicted because he's so damn smart that by definition anything he does is good for the US so why would you try to judge him
I agree because it would only harm the ability of the US armed forces to operate and I support any damage to the imperialist yankee war machine that can be done
And how stupid do you actually have to be to believe this horseshit. They all need to fucking get on a penis rocket and go to Mars and never fucking return.
My favorite example of this was Smith pretending to think that a 1400 SAT score (and no I don't think the SAT means that much outside of are you good at the SAT) made Musk a genius. Smith was a Stanford grad, we can safely assume he didn't find the SAT incredibly difficult.
I don't know if this is where we decide his brain is broken enough that his rabbit should start seeking council or if he's trying to make a joke but goddamn
I mean, Elon Musk IS more or less trying to breed more kids into the world by paying women to carry IVF testtube babies, but I think Ghengis would have stabbed the bitch by now
Ghengis Khan's own drinking habits are not well attested. We have some quotes attributed to him about moderation, and some institutions that he drank lots of airagh. OTOH, two of his four sons almost certainly drank themselves to death.
BTW
Genghis meet Musk would be probably some like short from bits from chronicles style
When Great Khan welcomed a white wizard from a land across the sea who spoke of conquering the stars with Chariot with invislible horses 1/2
“I like one SecDef who has Crusader tattoos; my next preference is someone who gives Nazi salutes.” is the sort of sentence where Noah is telling us who he is.
Current CA practice allows unlimited possession, storage, use and writing of child sex abuse materials but for some reason that’s not enough for Noah and his comrade, BlueSky Trust & Safety Boy @aaron.bsky.team
Lord, I just searched for this phrase when he was quoting Seth Abramson right out of the gate. And then it’s right after claiming that it’s impressive to build good rockets in a place with a large aerospace industry?
What’s it called when someone’s brain is worse than broken? Because he’s that.
Yikes. A bit late to be giving the benefit of the doubt to the guy with Christian Nationalist tattoos and actively removing black history and books from our military history and training… before he also practically live-streamed military plans because he needs constant attention & validation.
look as an asian-american dude, something about noah triggers a "stay away from our women you freak" instinct in me i didn't know i had and i don't want to have
im negatively polarized vs said instinct because i have seen way too many of my peers let it take them to "...and asian women are all closeted white supremacists who just want to bear hapa babies for the richard spencers of the world and need us to save them from themselves" but yeah noah's a creep

🤣🤣🤣
These people lack even an ounce of critical thinking
But yes, he's right: No one wants to have that conversation.

Second of all, he was also one of the most consequential people in history. Elon is a minor footnote by comparison.

Why could that be, Noah? I'll wait.
