So if you're keeping track:
Musk is no longer going to save the world by providing affordable electric cars, and is now focused on robots.
Now he's no longer going to save the world by setting up earth2 on mars, and will instead build AI data centers on the moon.
You don't still own stock, right?

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

@democrats.org are sharpening their message of "Vote for us and we'll break all our promises the minute we get into office, cave to the GOP at every turn & adopt most of Trump's policies, all while blocking Greens from ballots whenever possible including by illegal means."

While Americans were watching football, our corporate government launched a massive chemical attack against our pollinators (and other life forms). Destruction is now almost complete: honey used to cost $2 a pound in 1980s. Now, fellow Americans, it's back to watching football while the world burns.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
