The question is, would the have done it if no money was involved? The answer is most likely not. That is why Musk offered the money. The man will never give someone a dime if they’re willing to do something for free, which still makes the person who signed up a brainwashed fool for being tricked into doing something…

It’s funny how quickly we went from joking about this exact thing to finding out it’s true.

How can you help people who are working so hard against their own interests?

My friend’s neighbor has a yard sign that says something like “I’d rather vote for a felon than a jackass”. It’s shit like that that makes you just want to give up sometimes. How can you help people who are working so hard against their own interests?

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk said the businessman traveled to Moscow in 2002 to negotiate the purchase of rockets for his fledgling space program, but passed out during a vodka-heavy lunch

Call me crazy but you shouldn’t NEED to be able to trace specific security leaks back to Musk to take action. Regular communication with a hostile foreign power should be enough to forfeit government contracts. 

Man, I remember the days before paying to check a bag when overhead bin space wasn’t a hot commodity. No one was in a rush to board, there wasn’t any chaos, and I did my best to be one of the last people on the plane. Now I get to be one of the first on most flights, and have the joy of sitting on a hot plane for 25…

Fellas. Do you think that the folks pushing this level of surveillance on sexual autonomy are going to top with just “who cares its just women I’m not a woman whatever”?

Pro Tip, when you attack the persona and not the argument, you are admitting defeat in said debate.

You certainly did. You said the following, trying to pretend it is just a point of view:

“Even if you skip the actual definition of free speech as defined in the 1st Amendment and later interpreted in landmark court cases such as Brandenburg v. Ohio, and you go with Elon’s version, he’s still a hypocrite.”

The character’s name is Bladerunner, not Deckard.

We bought Musk’s truck to use to teach kids not to use drugs, the exact opposite of what Musk does!

Yep exactly. EVs are much better in this scenario before, during, and after.

There’s nothing about a Cat 5 hurricane that can’t be stopped with an AR-15.

Note to the MAGA faithful, this hurricane business is all fake news. The deep state wants you to flee your homes so FEMA can give them to illegal Haitian immigrants in time for them to vote in the election. There’s no hurricane coming, stay where you are and defend your property!

Police vehicles should be required to be brightly colored so they can be quickly identified. They are emergency vehicles, not fashion accessories. Imagine a fire truck or ambulance that was murdered out and how ridiculous that would be.

This wasn’t even a police chase, makes this even more senseless.

EVs can sit in traffic for ages and not meaningfully run down the battery as long as you keep the heat and A/C off, and EVs are BY FAR the most efficient in stop and go traffic, my 252 mile range Bolt has significantly more range when kept under 40 mph. Like 300+ miles on a full charge.

And unlike any gas car, I can…

Why is that? The charging stations and power outlets aren’t running out of electricity, are they?
