It's incredibly sad that we have a President who has been given near absolute power from Congress AND is still crying about the 2020 election. And complaining about cheating while front running financial markets before tariffs. And launching his own crypto. And accepting gifts from other countries.

I'm unsure why a sitting US Vice President would post an AI generated video of the US President as if the President were a king. I hope the VP can learn about the American Revolution when he is out of office soon. In the meantime, be sure to block this anti-American propagandist who loves monarchy.

It's genuinely impressive how out of touch with reality these people are.

Most people are against political violence. It's weird the guy they're honoring was not.
"Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia filled, alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and or given the death penalty for his crimes against America."

Remember 2 days ago when Musk was trying to fire people for words they had said and charge them with domestic terrorism?
This after 4 days ago encouraging others to fight or die?
Now he's arguing words are not violence. And to act as if they are, is violence.

Remember 2 years ago Musk said, "If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill."
Now he's openly targeting workers for things they say on social media.

It's terrifying to see what the world's richest man is up to over on X. And we don't even know that the killer is a "leftist" yet.
1. Threatens the need to fight back or "we will be killed."
2. Highlights a need to dismantle leftist organizations
3. And warning that there will be violence now

My guess is the $1 trillion pay package will lead to SpaceX and X going under the Tesla roof, so it can be the Future Hype Factory. There's nothing in Tesla (declining sales) or in X (cash burn) that get it there today. Also feel this reddit convo sums up society.

I just finished "the greatest novel you've never read." I can't say whether it's true. But I hope to remember the 3 grad student friends discussing the university as an insane asylum for the professors, and a job they aspired to. Maybe a career is just the asylum to which you feel like you belong.

U of IL CS helped make me and Mr. Andreseen. I was in a DEI program for rural and inner-city students while I was there, so I got smaller class sizes since I was transitioning into their engineering program without any AP courses. DEI helps rural people! Smh

If other, far more distant countries, have to negotiate just to feed people, I'm guessing that means you see everyone as a militant.

America is currently supporting this, on our birthday:
1) Bombing tents and
2) Killing those who are seeking aid
Why are we doing this? How does this align with our values? What do we gain from it? None of this is American, let alone Christian. We are acting like a suckerpower, not a superpower.

This was all painfully obvious in the runup to the election. I spoke to my students about it. The bond market traded this way. And I didn't even contribute $200 million to the campaign and hang out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This is pure schadenfreude on behalf of Elon and crew. They voted for this.

Also can be Elon's answer to the interview question: "How would you create a modern, Soviet-inspired propaganda machine?"

Uhh, pg, the attack on science is way worse now than when you were complaining about it. It's not over. It's a serious problem. Look at who's running our government agencies.

Elon: But Trump started it! This guy is running 2% of the S&P 500 and of people's equity retirement portfolios RIGHT NOW. These aren't everyday voters allowing this, as with Trump. These are investment groups and board members with fiduciary duties not doing anything.

So the market is telling us that $288 million of donations was worth $100+ billion to Tesla, and $20+ billion to Elon personally. And we're not even considering SpaceX, where the impact is likely greater. Good ROI, until it wasn't. Proving yet again how good he is at destroying value.

This is not a serious person. He's threatening 2 million people that they will lose their jobs if they fail to respond to a single email. He could've just asked if he wanted to know. But he had to threaten them first. No wonder they called it the PayPal Mafia. This isn't the America I know and love.
