Musks old tricks aren’t working like they used to and the walls are closing in on him for Tesla.

The latest Roadster demo is a sign that he’s relying more and more on theatrics to sell cars. Ten years ago you could kind of buy that he would have full autonomous driving at some point. Other car companies are far more advanced than him and the Chinese’s are eating his lunch on electric vehicles and beating him in every market but the US.

He pivoted Tesla to robotics and self driving taxis but other companies are ahead of him there as well and he knows it.

He doesn’t have any tech to set Tesla apart and justify its grossly overpriced stock.

He wants to roll it under Space X to ride the only two advantages he has left Starlink and Rockets.

He knows the US government under any administration won’t let either of those two go belly up and wants to link them with his other failed or failing companies.

Every Republican accusation, is an admission.

No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.

These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.

These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.

These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

My dude needs some rooftop Koreans.

The only way left is Evolution not Revolution. The people are outgunned, out-teched, and frankly too self-centered to care.

:Looks at Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, Open AI, Anthropic CEO’s regularly meeting with the president and participating in official state functions… :

You sure about that tech advantage?

Cool, just an FYI when I got perma banned from Reddit a few years ago I was able to go back into my past posts and change them.

I generated some AI gibberish slop and posted it in all of my past posts just so they couldn’t benefit from my past participation.

If your still able to do so I highly recommend poisoning your content.

Do you mean the J-17 which was jointly developed by Pakistan and China. Who have a vested interest in trying to sell the J-17 to other parts of the world… if so then yes that very same plane.

“Melania Trump was a prostitute for Epstein.”

There both sides can do it. Only our side is factual.

He’s probably not on the take from big business and realizes he’ll never get donations from the wealthy. So he has no problem passing legislation that will harm them in favor of the consumer.

This is such a bullshit article. Yeah the NRA is a terrible organization and there are a lot of reasons to attack them. But attacking the educational, gun safety and shooting sports programs that they offer or fund is complete bullshit and is detrimental to the public good.

This is like saying we shouldn’t offer driving classes because one day a student might get into an accident.

Correlation is not causation.

They did this in Washington state to citizens during the Covid 19 summer riots.

This is nothing new for Trump. Stay strapped and alert at all times for the next 4 years.

I think there is more nuance here. In all my direct interactions with Chinese people in business they have been polite, responsive and intelligent. I still get messages from them long after I left the industry I was in.

The CCP however is a different story. I am opposed to them as much as I am opposed to any person or organization that seeks to usurp or silence an individuals right to self determination. There are certainly domestic threats to that right which are greater than the CCPs.

Zelensky has to hedge his bets and play nice with Republicans.

Even if the Orange fuckwad looses you don’t want to appear to snub his base or give other Republicans a reason to oppose further aid legislation.

I mean they will oppose it because a third of the Republican Party are Putin’s shills, but don’t give them reasons to oppose it.

Pre-Trump US is over. You can’t undo the damage he’s caused and go back to how it has been.

If there are fair elections and the Dems take the House and Senate investigations will begin and his crony’s will close ranks because they are just as culpable. Dems have no interest in a presidential candidate who is just going to ignore the crimes of the past administration like Obama or a wish to return to norms like Biden.

The left will want these people prosecuted and jailed when we return to power. The right will do whatever it takes to stay in power to prevent this from happening. The oligarchs will do anything to preserve their grasp on both parties so they don’t become targets.

No matter how it plays out the US will be a turbulent place for at least a decade after the 2028 election.

He retired from his role at Google a few years ago so yeah…

But he is still a typical C-Suite asshole. Blame workers for strategic corporate failures (Googles competition all offer WFH) and take personal credit (and bonuses) for any and all successes.

Wow, an analog phone and not a single computer in sight. As a guy who works in IT , this is a beautiful sight to see.

Trump is going to loose this trade war in 6 months or less.

We at about to have Covid level disruptions to our supply chain. Over 80 cargo vessels have canceled sailings. Think about the amount of goods we are not going to get in 3 weeks time. Yeah China will loose money and will be hurt by the trade war but they can find other markets.

The USA is going to have epic supply chain disruptions. We wont have consumer goods or components for manufacturing within 6 weeks. It’s going to be a shit show unless Trump backs down.

Russia has orders of a magnitude more fighting age men and resources than Ukraine. If Russian losses are two to one or three to one in a battle it is still a loss for Ukraine. Ukraine just don’t have the population or material to absorb those losses. Ukraine needs to have a 5 or 6 to one ratio to win in a conflict with Russia.

In every past conflict in history Russia traditionally does terrible in the first few years of a conflict and absorbs staggering losses but is able to figure out what works and ultimately wins.

The fact that Ukraine which five or six years ago didn’t have a
functional military is still in this fight is very telling for how bad Russia's military has atrophied after the Cold War.

The front lines have solidified and Russia has shown they can learn to fight defensively. The best Ukraine can do now is perhaps cut off transport routes to Crimea and make the Russian position there untenable. Otherwise unless there is some kind of major revolution in Russia it’s doubtful that Ukraine can retake their lost lands.

However, I still support supplying Ukraine with arms. This is Russia's 9th military invasion of a neighboring country since the end of the Cold War. It won’t be their last unless they are bled dry. Ukraine has the will to fight them, they just need arms.

I’ve replaced all of my Reddit comments for the past year with AI generated nonsense. It seems to have stuck. I plan on going through all of my past comments but will spread it out over time so that it’s harder to restore.

IMO the key is making a post that writes gibberish but that is good enough to suck a user in to read it for a few seconds before they realize it is BS. That kills the user experience and poisons the site.
