Elon lives in a bizarre mental universe that’s like a mashup of Robert Heinlein’s masturbatory juvenalia and Hugh Hefner’s vision board ca. 1971. The dude has completely lost touch with anything a normal person might consider “reality.” No wonder he’s acting like such a weirdo maniac.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky
