I would call it schadenfreude, but that’s probably too big of a foreign word for you.

I think I have seen ONE around me that hasn’t been wrapped for a business.

Given how easy they are to break, I think calling them a “trolling rollmobile” might be more accurate!

Wasn’t Elon supposed to already be on Mars?  When can we get that to happen?

How does that help? It buys 1 1/4 second off your tens of minutes latency, under the best of circumstances.

Honestly, my guess is that he genuinely forgot about it.

Exactly. Everything ends with ordinary people being hurt, which sucks. I think we might need to stop telling the idiot child not to touch the stove and just let it get burned.

Trump initially wanted to name his window dressing replacement for NAFTA the USMC because that’s the same acronym as the United States Marine Corps. The Marines raised a fuss, though, so the treaty was renamed UMSCA.

That’s the great irony in all this.  He negotiated the USMCA deal which replaced NAFTA.  He literally has to repeal and replace his own trade deal to levy tariffs.  It would require congressional approval to dismantle the USMCA which he could probably get but then what?

Assuming there will be elections in 4 years. “You’ll never have to vote again!”

One thing not mentioned is that auto companies aren’t going to have to just weigh the effect of the tariffs, but also align that with the possibility that the pendulum swings back to the Democrats in 4 years, who would more than likely revoke those same tariffs.

If you’re Ford, do you spend billions to move your…

First Gear: Automakers gonna get what they deserve. And you know what?

I’d like to see some commentary about how during his prior term Trump blew his own whistle long and hard about his triumphant “BETTER THAN NAFTA” (but basically the same as NAFTA) negotiation, and how now his first major promise is to gut it entirely.

$39,900 actually

I had that hope for the first round. I have far less hope for that scenario to play out the second time.

The tweet that Elon replied to specifically says “This network could serve Mars missions, allowing real-time images and data streams from Mars to Earth”

Real-time is clearly not possible and maybe Elon just missed that (or maybe he’s fine with people thinking it’s true).

For both PayPal and SpaceX, his $$$ buyin agreements specified that he was to be referred to as a “founder”, even though he came along after both were operating. So, his narcissism fits right in with the incoming administration.

Hah, could you tell the Republicans?  Start with Paul Ryan please.

Oh my...you’re about to see outright theft to a magnitude that would make even the best despots blush. Stopping SS payments will merely be a drop in the bucket when it comes to stealing gov’t assets and reassigning the assets to the top 0.01%.
