Tales from Uh-merica

I wonder what Musk had to pay Trump to get him to do that.

Guess he’ll just keep cutting away at services and replacing them with hisown? He’s already had 38 billion in Gov contracts previously - Asside from the meddling little conflict of interest he can write his own cheques. He is not a politician he’s a libertarian.

That’s already happening:

It’s a bit buried in the story, but this wasn’t a fresh tender either, this was Musk declaring that the current upgrade program handled by Verizon wasn’t working well enough, which makes the conflict of interest even more pronounced.

It will be interesting to see how much more NASA work gets farmed out to Space X as well.

Yes I saw that, I guess it’s kind of the logical conclusion to capitalism? I would have thought much of this rather cynical or woo woo once but Musk and Trump are not politicians they are Libertarians - just like their backers. People can call them fascists / racists / Republicans / Hero’s or villains and they certainly play to and weaponize those demographics but they are not particularly those things - They are self seeking, self centered greed driven libertarian narcissists. In short Billionaires interested in their empires, their power and what’s in it for them. I can’t imagine them thinking of themselves as servants?..

Eichorn is a Republican who is married with four children, according to his Minnesota State Senate bio. He made headlines earlier this week for being a sponsor of a bill that would declare “Trump derangement syndrome” a mental illness.

There is a TDS. It exists in the minds of Trump himself and his rabid supporters.

If proof were needed, this is a quote from one of his latest (last 12 hours) Truth Social posts:

“I am authorizing my Administration to immediately begin producing Energy with BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN COAL.”

This will dovetail beautifully with the EPAs instructions to roll back on requirements around pollution, particularly in terms of soot and mercury.

Yeah, so that’s the way to go. People who disagree with Trump’s batshit bullshit should be diagnosed with a mental illness.

And a significant number of Americans will cheer as those people are incarcerated as dangers to society.

Holy fucking shit.

I dread to imagine where this will go from here. Nobody is safe - not judges, not midwives, nobody. Drink the koolaid or go to jail.

How long before deciding not to buy a Tesla becomes an act of sedition?

Drama Queen. It’ll all work out fine :crossed_fingers:

Thanks, I was worried there for a bit.

Back to dreams of bunnies and unicorns. What a relief.

Ah, see, that’s where you’re wrong. I’ve just been listening to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane and them bunnies are dark, real dark.

I like my fantasies to combine infantile fluffiness and a real sense of imminent danger.
If I were ever to write books for children, the next generation of therapists would be very busy.

I refer you to the above.
