Kinda crazy: since the election, Musk’s life has consisted of primarily of posting Twits on the social media site he tried to back out of buying because he couldn’t afford it; lining up a bunch of his disastrously awful cyber trucks in front of a California wildfire and declaring it to be the internet; has seen serious concerns regarding his national security status raised regarding his space program; and has otherwise ignored his responsibilities in order to ignore both those same national security concerns as well as every American’s civil rights. Yet in just the few short months since his ascendancy, his net worth has more than doubled - skyrocketing to over $400 billion USD.
The fraud that I believe he is was galvanised for me after Hurricane Helene when he claimed his little Starlink thingee restored the internet to Western Carolina. I was just like, “F*cker, people lost the internet because they lost power because the power lines were washed away like fresh cut timber floating down the Columbia River. We still had cell phones. I never lost 5G.” Yet NOBODY in the media even questioned his bullsh*t. I remember Walter Kirn celebrated him like he was a technological wonderman. I listened to the podcast… ON MY F*CKING CELLPHONE. I kinda wonder if folks are now questioning themselves over that approach.
Definitely the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

That is truly stunning.

Our systems of government have never been hardened against this sort of evil. Our courts are not awake enough to save us from this.
Courts would be capable, if not rotten at the top.
Well written and scarily true, dammit!
