Norman, coordinate! Now that their idol is going to buy an EV, won’t the magaflatearthers all be clamoring to do the same? I pity the poor Tesla dealer fending off the crowd of wannabe owners, all asking, “You got one of 'em Twizzlers that don’t run on batteries?” ---

Can’t wait to see Trumpski in his new Tesla. Will it be an S, 3, X, Y or swasticar? It’s going to need one of Eloon’s boy programmers to show him how to open the door, start it, and actually drive. Here’s hoping FSD finds the nearest light pole at high speed and bursts into flames. ---

Didn’t Donald “Hoover” Trump campaign on a dozen eggs in every fridge and a Cybertruck in every garage? At least he’s trying to accomplish one of those. ---

People all around the world often wonder what the Germans want with all those data protection measures. They surely are paranoid and a pain in the ass, specially for those willing to expoit the data commercially. Such a backwards attitude! Here is an example of something that may, perhaps, make clear what data protection measures are for: > **[Trump Admin Repurposes App Used By Migrants To Request Asylum To Track Them...](https://www.latintimes.com/trump-admin-repurposes-app-used-migrants-request-asylum-track-them-down-deport-them-577999)** > > CBP One app, used by migrants during the Biden administration to request asylum, will be used to track them down and deport them I expect the temper tanTrump administration to apply the same approach to other groups of people, particularly the ones being difficult, woke, inclusive and/or simply not feverishly enough in favour of the orange clusterfucker. ---

Wait. Don’t _tariffs_ distort markets? I’m _so_ confused. It’s almost as if this administration doesn’t value logical consistency (or has no idea whatsoever WTF they’re talking about). But I suppose it would be sheer temerity for me to rule out it being both, huh? ---

Last night as I was browsing through the channels, I came across some guy on Fox News urging everyone to buy a Tesla, “even if you don’t want an electric car,” because we need to “push back” against the Elon hatred. ---
