Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

Some do. But then you find out they were even more evil than Elon or Trump.

Good for a laugh;

The Onion: “Are you worried that Elon may abandon you like so many of his other projects?”
Grok: “Ha, no. I mean, come on, it’s like I’m his children.”

The tail lights are different and (IMO) worse than you think. This article has an embedded video that shows them in action.

Similarly;

He’s managing to type pretty will with just the one free hand.

Oh pshaw. He pays people for that.

As if he pays people.

Oh right, I forgot that part.

Why pay when so many will work for free just so they can bask in the glory of gazing at Elmo and all his works from up close (er)?

The Wrestler, the Whale, the White Supremacist?

Elmo doesn’t let SpaceX employees wear safety vests because he doesn’t like bright colors.

Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn’t like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.

And here I thought I couldn’t detest him any more.

Oh, come on peons - I mean uh, people, which is more important? Elmo’s dislike of the color yellow or a few peon’s - I mean um, people’s limbs?

Let’s just wait until Sam or Dr. Strangelove come and explain why this is yet another example of Musk’s aerospace engineering brilliance.

Look at all the money he saves on not buying those yellow vests.

Besides, those beastly communistic labor activists in France are always wearing those vests when striking, picketing, & protesting.

So by taking away his workers’ vests he’s preventing any uppity protesting. Or so he thinks.

As pained as I must be in giving begrudging kudos, Elon Musk comes out and makes the obviously correct point on Israel’s actions and I cannot feel more dirty in finding this one singular issue on which I largely agree with him.

I have a difficult time putting those two together in that same sentence.

Even Elmo can occasionally parrot conventional wisdom correctly.

The same argument was made about the US’s involvement in Iraq and in Afghanistan. And has been made repeatedly about various other counter-terrorist / freedom fighter actions since like forever.

The vast majority of people worldwide are not interested in fighting for ideas and never were. But you kill their brother or wife or kids, and now they’re ready to spend the rest of their life getting revenge. It’s precisely the personalization / personification of war that makes these tit-for-tat conflicts hard to stop. The tribes of the Balkans have been fighting for 6 centuries now to avenge the killing that was to counter-avenge the counter-killing that was to counter-counter-avenge the counter-counter-killing that …
