Don't forget.
Nazi Elon Musk takes credit for "feeding USAID into the wood chipper", instead of going to "some great parties".

Ah, memories...

Drove it home, but was never brave enough to try opening the sunroof again.

Spotted on my drive earlier today. What's this "we" business, on your 2024 or newer Tesla, you ignorant Nazi-adjacent asshole?
A 2024 (or newer) Tesla Model 3 Highland with a sticker the owner thinks makes him less nazi and more nazi-adjacent.

"I didn't have a problem with his politics, anyway. I don't care about that, because that's just a sideline. That's not what he does."

Rationalization contrary to all evidence comes effortlessly to these people.
Elon Musk modelling effective sideline Nazi behaviour.

oof... gut punch.
A quote from a Walrus article by Monica Kidd entitled How Alberta Became the Epicentre of Canada’s Measles Outbreak: “Almost everyone I work with is so thankful to have the medical team looking after their kids,” Blackwood says. “They’re grateful and they’re kind. But more than ever before, there’s a feeling that someone on the internet knows better. I did fourteen years of training to try to save kids’ lives, then to have to explain that I’m using the best medical scientific information we have? I’m just sad about the distrust, and it seems to be getting worse.”

Pressure on the judiciary from the centre was kind of a big deal in Canada...

www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
A screenshot of a CBC news article that says: On Aug. 14, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion released his report into the SNC-Lavalin affair, the political scandal that has led to the ouster of two cabinet ministers, the resignation of one of the prime minister's key aides and opposition calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down. The scandal all centres on one key question: did the prime minister, someone in his office or other government officials try to pressure Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was attorney general to step in and resolve the corruption and fraud case against SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. in an effort to spare the Montreal-based engineering giant from criminal prosecution?

Oh... "professional YouTuber" has thoughts... let's all stop and give them credence.
Screenshot noting the author is a "professional YouTuber"... does not mention prominent role as "perpetual right-wing crank".

Didn't see this image in the piece... so here it is, for "virtue signaling" completeness.
That thing where a white South African with a long history of racial bias and of fomenting & platforming white supremacist rhetoric extends his arm with flattened palm in an upward "gesture" yet some pretend it's not a NAZI SALUTE.

Always worth noting, because it's one of the most crystal clear windows into the quality of Musk's character - he lied about holding his dying son:
Screen shot of a Nov 2022 Xitter post by Justine Musk wherein she says: "And not that it matters to anyone except me, because it is one of the most sacred and defining moments of my life, but I was the one who was holding him."

This one stuck for me, specifically because it *wasn't* Musk putting a hard deadline on the renewable energy Supercharger claim:

Geezus.

Still... pattern tracks: why should animals be safe from cops when people so often are not?

I'm stunned that they are celebrating reaching an apparent milestone of 8000 NACS adapters *per week*.

Fremont alone makes 10,000ish whole shitty Teslas a week, but they are celebrating making 8000 of these boxy pieces of plastic like it's some huge accomplishment of modern manufacturing?
Picture of a boxy piece of plastic. Probably has some wires in it.

100%... especially since the issues & concerns cited are de rigeur newbie Tesla owner forum post fodder for a swarm of "how dare you" abuse since The Beginning.
