Elon Musk: Billionaire, But Not a Genius? Biographer Seth Abramson shreds the myth: “Zero intellectual achievements.” Fired from PayPal & Zip2, nearly ran Tesla & SpaceX into the ground, bailed out by Obama. Buying companies ≠ brilliance. The Musk “genius” illusion is collapsing.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back?

People will die because Elon Musk wants to use his crappy AI company, xAI, to take over the government. He plans to become “Technoking” over America just as he says he is (it’s actually his official job title) the Technoking of Tesla. I repeat: people will die because of this boundlessly evil man.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Republicans just shot down an amendment to their tax scam that would require the top .05 percent of American households to chip in just a measly 2 cents for every dollar of wealth over 50 million. You can't make this shit up.

Jeffries on GOP "bait & switch": "Part 1, talk about lowering the high cost of living but do nothing about it. Part 2, enact massive tax cuts for billionaires that will do nothing to improve the quality of life of everyday Americans. Part 3, stick working Americans with the bill for those tax cuts"

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The highest positions of the FBI are being purged tonight. Elon Musk is a private citizen trying to seize control of the treasury, having access to taxpayers money. Trump cannot eliminate an appropriated federal agency by EO, we are in another Constitution crisis. newrepublic.com/post/190983/...
