Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

He used to be better at keeping his mouth shut.
He used to have less airtime
If you listened (as most of us in tech did) he's been fucking batshit since the PayPal days.

He left trumps orbit last time he was president because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord.
Now he doesn't give a fuck about that or similar things.
He's definitely more crazy / things changed.
He used to depend on that climate money and press for his car business.
Now he can shovel tax money directly into his own pocket, so he doesn't need to pretend anymore.

I dont remember a time where I both knew of him and thought he was a sane or rational person.
Elon owns and profits off Tesla, but otherwise, he's not very special. He's rich, and he can win games of marketing chess, and intellectual property theft. I can never help but point out at al opportunities that he's not much of an inventor, but no wonder he's buddy buddy with Trump, they both are great at claiming credit for things they had little to do with. Its also fascinating, every venture Elon is in, is actually pro-leftist pro-environmentalist pro-deepstate, yet he's hated by leftists for 'being mean', and loved by Trumpsters despite his true intentions being to help the government take freedoms away. That dynamic, is worthy of study in my opinion.
I wonder if I could make money selling body kits to make your Tesla look like a different car... 🤔
"Hey... Does that Prius look a bit off?"
Cybertruck with a Prius shell drives by
Cybertruck with a cardboard box over it, full Snake.
‽

Let's be real - all the car companies are owned by terrible people. If it's not Elon, it's some other soulless capitalist who pushed subsidies and lower efficiency standards for mega trucks that speed up global warming just as we're supposed to be slowing it down.
Yeah, not all people who do bad things are equal. I can't think of many worse people in this world than Elon, and his husband Donald Trump.
