To the extent that Musk has a super-power it is that he is an obscenely rich person who is willing to confidently say (and get many people to accept) completely untrue things that (coincidentally) always serve his own interests. He's an ignorant person's idea of what an informed person sounds like.

Oh yeah, they should rush this plane out as quickly as possible. Drop the security clearances, ignore the boring safety checks, get parts as cheaply as possible & rush rush rush the work, even if it means the engineers are badly sleep deprived. Do whatever it takes to get Mr. Trump his plane now!

Trump's politics of spite are front and center in his second term. It's a virus that has spread to the entire Republican Party, making his presidency more about "owning the libs" than effecting any positive change. Todd Beeton dug into this mindset for The Big Picture.

Been thinking a lot lately about how great it would be if only the American literary canon contained a novel about how the American people voted themselves into fascism, with many voters thinking they were just choosing a straight-talking non-politician who could clean up the mess in Washington.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Accidentally fired Nuclear Security workers. Accidentally fired bird fly workers. It is abundantly clear here Musk is blowtorching the federal government on phony claims of fraud and waste, just like he blowtorched Twitter. It is 100% shock doctrine (see @naomiaklein.bsky.social) bs.

Heinous—Trump WH/HHS is planning to likely destroy $500 million worth of stockpiled COVID tests. They could give it out for free, but then Trump and RFK Jr would have to admit COVID is serious. And minimizers don’t have the guts to admit millions died. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The Press needs to stand with the AP. Imagine how fast Trump would lose it if CNN and MSNBC went 24 hours without saying his name and covered other stories. Maybe focus on Elon instead and say "The Administration," leave Trump's name out of it. The AP would be front of the room by Friday morning!

A lot of locals were very surprised to get the notice from the senior center that they just lost a huge chunk of their meals on wheels funding. As this shit starts hitting people closer to home it’s going to be pretty radicalizing! I had a lot of raging grannies (complimentary) blowing up my phone.
