I hate musk, think he is a nazi, and will reject the world he creates. Glad he is taking this one on though. They deserve each other.

It's like watching two nasty creatures fight each other while you, who was going to be eaten by one of them, can get away, at least for a little bit. But if you had the ability, you stomp the fuck out of both of them.

What else is on? I'm tired of Jerry Springer white trash theatrics we call governance.

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Fuck! Nail on the head with that comparison! It's literally like the worst white trash Nazi bullshit episode from Jerry Springer is currently squatting in the White House.

We are watching the attempted ousting of a dictator in the world's most powerful country. But go on

Please, trump is just the lighting rod for your rage at a system that is in the final stages of being taken over by economic forces. He's the finger puppet on the hand of the general elite. Just because he's a moron doesn't mean he's not your equivalent of a WWE heel.

comeon Elmu, just put your money where the mouth is.

Tesla shares for everyone who brings/leaks hard evidence.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

This dude practically bought votes for trump.

This is all bullshit theater unless he funds something.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Ew no money please. The only people who want Tesla shares are going to be worthless idiots.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

I dunno, I'm almost out of toilet paper anyway

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 23 points 9 hours ago

mind that he was willing to do all this together until he couldn't get enough shit from mango mussolini for his ~~pockets~~ companies. he can choke on a bag of dildos after he gets his nuremberg trial.

if these people, all of them, including the Dems who capitulate, owners of the media companies that censor in their name and push their fascist agenda, all ICE employees, don't get their own nuremberg trials, and examples aren't made of them, the US might as well throw the towel and declare itself a lawless land and a failed state.

He just wants to be cool again.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

That's not going to happen, but it's really gonna be fun watching them fight more while he tries.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I’m surprised how much faith you have in people’s critical thinking skills and short term memory.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I don't find it fun at all. It coukd easily lead to Trump consolidating his power

If he decides to really go after Musk ny stripping his citizenship, or taking away federal money, it'll send a strong message to the other oligarchs to fall in line

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

it’ll send a strong message to the other oligarchs to fall in line

If that's going to happen, it will happen with or without this.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If he wants to do it this way he is welcome to.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

As long as he doesn’t garner supporters and then flip them to some crazy shit.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He's not drawing any left support, but splitting the right who will be completely open to crazy shit

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Yeah I agree. That’s good for the left. Split votes. What we really need is a third party that hates the rich and loves guns.
