He probably saw Musk partaking next to many of his top admin staff.
Meanwhile, in the Elmoverse:
So, the bad end to the Elmo/TFG feud: Elmo and/or his father flees to Russia with luggage full of pilfered secret US government information. It turns out that Elmo was the real Kremlin mole all along, not TFG.
They’re not on speaking terms, IIRC. Basically, they’re a family of assholes, and he learned a lot of it from his dad.
Not that Musk the Younger couldn’t still end up in Russia for his own reasons, but if the article is trying to imply a link to Putin because of his father, the kindest word for that sort of journalism is ‘flimsy’. Though I can see how they would be sensitive to anything remotely involving Ukraine
It’s not like his mom is any better, tbh.
Very true but the article was about Errol in particular.
Maye (and her family) are certainly also terrible. What kind of people move to South Africa because Canada wasn’t racist enough for them?
All part of Elmo’s deep cover as the real Russian mole while everyone is distracted by Agent Orange!
Yes, I know Elmo and his father don’t get along. And that his father married and has two children with his stepdaughter. I long for the days I was blissfully unaware of the Elmo clan’s sex lives.
Oh, and Errol is going to be in great company in Moscow. Alex Jones is going to be speaking there as well.
Back to Twitter for a minute, has anyone else lost their infinite scroll? My Twitter feed now only lets me scroll down so far and then just stops. I don’t know if this is a bandwidth limitation or just backend issues from Twitter’s haphazard management.
I’ve had this happen a couple of times lately, too.
Nice how they used his quasi-Nazi salute as the lead image.
Elon Musk’s X sues New York State over law requiring social media sites disclose how they tackle hate speech
Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, is suing the State of New York in an attempt to block new legislation that would combat extremist speech.
Under the Stop Hiding Hate Act that enters into force this week, digital content providers like the company formerly known as Twitter must disclose what efforts they are taking to police content on their respective platforms.
X argues the new law is a “carbon copy” of California’s Assembly Bill 587, which it already successfully challenged. Last year, three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an injunction, ruling portions of the law were unconstitutional under protected free speech rights.
I’m not sure where exactly this goes, but he’s fired his VP in charge of Tesla manufacturing and operations. The article ties that to declines in sales, but that doesn’t necessarily follow for me.
Tesla head of manufacturing Omead Afshar fired by Elon Musk
This comes about a month after the head of Optimus quit.
That can’t be the right job title. Are you sure he wasn’t Scapegoat #1, and he just lost that position?
I sometimes wonder to what extent fascism isn’t just a symptom of methamphetamine addiction.
I sooo wanted that to read ‘methamketamine’.
Methameinkampfamine ?
“Methane and ketamine.”
That’s what you might smell when sitting by Musk and Trump.
Oh great, thanks, now my mind is full of some horrific Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome remake with Trump and Musk in the Master Blaster role (I think you can figure out which is which though either could work) emitting crazed pronouncements while simultaneously blasting out quantities of “valuable” methane.
“Elon-Felon runs Barter Town!”
Ahem.
“Farter Town.”
That would have even worked in the movie.
I’m not sure where else to put this, but the EV tax credit is likely ending. It’s possible it was going to happen anyway, but it’s hard to get past the feeling that this fuckwit massively increased the likelihood of it happening by pissing off the orange monster.
