Brings me no joy to report Elon Musk is gaming right now in this X Spaces discussing the election x.com/i/spaces/1Ow....

You can hear him tapping and clicking his keyboard. Someone said with a laugh, "Elon, you gaming it up?" He responded, "Yeah, just some background activity."

practiced it in his head yeah. I’ve watched that dude for nine years and he has shit on his highlight reel you would not believe, he is operating at a level that he could only get to if he’s visualizing this stuff

I’m a big proponent of not living in a bubble but showing up from twitter with bad vibes is like checking in from a bar named FOOD POISONING and then reporting explosive gut problems

first year yes but they used his second year to use him more as an edge and where he really popped was just getting to the ball regardless of where the play went. I don’t think his sack numbers were all that astronomical. it was his ability to move sideways

kilgore trout @kilgoretrout.bsky.social · Nov 5

lot of stuff isn’t on stat sheets because they’re like two yard gains or force outs but parsons could somehow line up wide over the right tackle at the margin and would show up on the far sideline assisting on a running back sweep. like, shit that shouldn’t be expected but he covered that much field

1

kilgore trout @kilgoretrout.bsky.social · Nov 5

it’s hard to compare without sounding like I’m negging on him but parsons made so many plays where you’d say wait how the hell was he even involved in this play he started out 25 yards away. parsons is making those plays but from, like, 20 yards away.

carter is the miles sanders to parson’s barkley. 90% as good but that last 10% is really what separates you. great players all but I haven’t seen carter wreck games to the same degree as parsons

kilgore trout @kilgoretrout.bsky.social · Nov 5

they have terrible big game vibes and it’s institutional at this point, everyone is so wired for tragedy it comes out on the field. just pure bad vibes and no matter how many pieces change one thing stays the same and it’s franklins puckered asshole when it matters

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Nov 5

Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.

Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Elon Musk has spent $119 million on a super PAC supporting Donald Trump and held events on his behalf. But his ownership of X is especially valuable.

honestly how would you truly know if they suck or can’t get open when you make a point to never try and find out. like I get the film shows no separation but sometimes that’s a product of knowing the ball isn’t coming
