$7000 for a 2007 Si? I had that exact car, in fact I’m not entirely sure that car isn’t mine.

The other difference is Elon is far and away the richest person in history, thus he has much more cash to throw around than even your run of the mill election swaying billionaire. He can singlehandedly change the course of funding with an amount that, to him, is a pittance.

When people have the level of money that is so high it isn’t actually comprehensible to the human mind, they can afford to piss away an amount that is miniscule to them but would constitute more money than a normal human being could spend in a lifetime.

So it seems like the people in the car weren’t seriously injured. But the article makes no mention of what THEY say happened. Did police not get a statement from the people actually involved? 

It might work if some of these grants actually happen, instead of putting the tariffs first and hoping it works out.

It’s not even as complicated as economies of scale.

This is true in a lot of industries that rely on imports.

Almost like it’s not actually designed for the Apocalypse or Mars, but designed to grift saps out of their money.

Isn’t this Erin Brockovitch type shit the stuff people used to go to jail for?

I’m not a mental health professional, but I worked among people struggling with mental health issues for the better part of a decade, and there comes a time when someone is engaging in behavior that is an immediate danger to themselves or others. And in those times, the situation needs to be triaged, and what matters…

Yeah, wasn’t there a story not all too long ago about a door plug flying open as well?

So I played Pokemon Go since day one, and had played pretty consistently until around 2023, when I took some extended breaks and finally stopped for good around 8 months ago.

I know the obvious answer is obvious, but it’s SO obvious that it’s really a moot point. Nothing else even comes close.

Well then I guess we just take the word of the person who tried to extort him then!

Given that he recorded the incident, scenario 1 seems unlikely.

Yeah I’m sure we can trust that he was late, given that the source of that information is the person who was trying to extort him for $50 to allow him on the plane.

Actually, now that we have a final count, he got slightly less than 50% of the votes cast. More than Kamala, but less than half.

I actually paid for my most recent car almost entirely by check. I had a pretty big windfall from selling a house and buying a cheaper one, and used that money for a WRX. It was very weird to write a check by hand for over $30k. But I did. I say almost entirely because I had paid for the deposit a few months earlier.

I don’t think those laws really matter if they ever did. I fully expect the response to this to be “what are you going to do about it?” to those who oppose it, and in a situation where the courts, house, and presidency are all Republican, nothing will be done.

Elon also said his cars do just fine at combusting into non-extinguishable blazes on their own.
