The drugs are definitely not good for his emotional volatility. It’s fortunate he’s not in charge of anything important. 
With Donald being so endlessly impressed by Elon’s moneymaking ability, I’m kinda wondering if, to impress this impressive guy, Donald has shared the nuclear codes with him.
(Don’t put off fulfilling any lifelong dreams and goals, folks!)
In general, this will be how Elon gets his way in all sorts of arenas. He has the info and he’s perfectly willing to extort people, as seen in the recent “advertising on X” situation:
Of course so far he’s using ‘threat of lawsuit’ instead of ‘threat of revealing things’ or ‘threat of screwing up their systems’ or other actions that his newly-acquired motherlode of information permits him to deploy. (Of course we’re unlikely to learn the details of most of what he’ll do.)
Elmo appears to be completely zonked out of his mind on K at CPAC today.
Holy shit! I’ve had friends and family that were doing things they shouldn’t have been that were more coherent than the richest man in the world.
BTW, here he is proudly displaying a chainsaw given to him by Argentine President Javier Milei. Natch.
Yes I was surprised to hear that too. I mean, Edison wasn’t invited to join the royal society. Just buying patents for tech doesn’t make you a renown scientist, and nor should buying tech companies.
Of course, the Telegraph have gone ahead and called the royal society “pathetic woke hypocrites” for even considering expelling Musk.
We didn’t elect Zaphod Beeblebrox. But we got him anyway. 
Godammit, that guy, I swear, he makes Zaphod look like a saint, Fred Kwan a sober genius, Jayne a boy scout.
Nice merger your advertising company has planned, would be a pity if it did not get official approval from our buddies in g’vment just 'cause you keep or refusing to sped your advertising money on X…
And then there are the “community notes”, that have worked so well to date (harrumph!!), much better than fact checking, until they suddenly disagreed with him. He will have that “fixed”:
Why is the thumbs up gesture so popular among trumpites et al?
Not to mention the phallic symbol being used to keep the pesky toddler away. Reminds me of the Monthy Python song “Sit On My Face”, only substituting face with thumb.
Meanwhile in Manhattan…
Good. Considering the Cybertruck came out less than two years ago at this point, everyone who bought one was well aware of how much of a dangerous shitbag Elmo is and ultimately didn’t care.
I have no sympathy for any of them.
Ford, Rivian and Chevrolet all make EV pickups that can be less expensive than the Deplorean as well as somewhat more practical (they do have parodies of beds, but then, just about all pickups are like that anymore).
Apparently Elon Musk has the power to decide whether federal workers keep their jobs or not. Who knew?
I mean, that seems like some serious official, high power. For who is supposed to be just a rich supporter of the President.
Can’t wait for all the military folks that will be forced to resign since they didn’t see the email. And what about those that were gone for the day (the response is due Monday)? Or work 4-10s and it isn’t a work day?
Yep just checked my email and I haveto co0me up with about 5 bullet points on a 4 day week , (a couple of which I took off because of a family medical situation, lucky me) to justify my existence. Of course DOGE with under 100 employees is not going to go through the 2 million or so responses they get. Instead they will be sent of some AI, to identify whatever random buzz words the training data decided indicates a loyal productive drone.
It would be a shame if the email address was publicized, and they got flooded with random messages from 10 million outraged citizens.
Not going to work. Its to be sent to OPM, which can easily filter out anything that isn’t from a government employee’s work address.
That’s too bad. Maybe each government employee can send a few follow up emails to expand on the original? “Sorry to bother you again, President Musk, but I neglected to mention in my earlier bullet point email how busy I’ve been organizing files and whatnot. It was a real mess (probably left over from the Biden administration.) I do think we’re getting close to getting it all in order. Any questions? Just give me a call. Love you.”
As you say, they are not actually reading these. Just firing everyone who doesn’t respond.
And anyone whose list of accomplishments sound woke to their AI. I’ll be sure to avoid using the word Homozygous, or discussing the diversity of oncogenic pathways.
Would it help to hit, “Reply All”?
