Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party.
They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

If speaking with trolls, political zealots, or religious types, remember Hitchen’s Razor, which states:
“What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”
For instance:
Assertion: “We go to heaven or hell when we die.”
Response: “No, we don’t.”

Can anyone explain to me what the function of the Democratic Party is today and how it is serving that function?
Are they still around? If so, is there any evidence of that?

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

One bad Trump thing is not a distraction from another bad Trump thing. The cacophony of multiple bad Trump things at once is one single thing. It is not possible to get everyone to focus on one part of that chaos, since all the bad parts are bad enough to merit attention, and the chaos is the thing.

Keep thinking about all the dudes who think they can get away with more filth now because of the incoming president and his boss Elon do and will. Really glad Lively is taking this on because most can't. Almost no one can.
