We lost Keanu

This is the danger of celebrity endorsement. It will bring so much more attention to an unworthy 'cause', and so many fans will now absorb this information without critical thought. It is truly a situation where a well-intentioned person does not know enough to understand that this supposed expert is talking nonsense and the world at large slips that much further into disinformation.

These rules are draconian

I love when rules exist as a clear response to someone's gross behavior. I imagine this sign was posted after a person 'loitered' for a suspicious amount of time, then did not choose a dvd...but everything was sticky afterwards.

Biden Reportedly Spending Final Hours of Presidency in ‘Dark’ Mood: ‘Never Stopped Feeling Angry’ After Being Forced Out

This is the most incredibly selfish thing I could possibly imagine. An old man moping about his inability to cling to power for another minute. As the next generations look on, begging for someone to act.

He paints Trump as a villain (rightfully so) but is so pathetic that he is unable to rise to any heroism. At least go out swinging.

Don't know what I expected. But it is a slap in the fucking face to hear this.

'Trump appointed leadership' growing 'exhausted' by Elon Musk demands: report

Isn't this what his employees have been saying about him for years? From what I understand, he comes up with ideas using his super genius big boy brain. He then puts insane deadlines and requirements on his employees (the engineers actually doing the work). Then, he'll want to alter the design and expect immediate compliance and ridicule them for not being as intelligent as he wants them to be.

He is running Doge like one of his businesses. But it is an entirely different thing, and shockingly moving quickly and breaking things destabilizes a govorning structure. Who knew? /s

Elon Musk draws outrage over 'odd-looking salute' at Trump inauguration celebration

Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”

This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement.... and they fucking cheered.

It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn't happen. -And if it did, it wasn't that bad. -And if it was, that's not a big deal. -And if it is, that's not my fault. -And if it was, I didn't mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.

Don’t forget to use your paper straw!

I realize as a mere pawn in the giant corporate chess game I have no right to ask this question.

But how in the ever loving fuck is this man providing that much value that he can justify this kind of action. There wasn't another candidate for the job that could do 90% of the same work, but was willing to live in the same zip code as their employees and save the cost and emissions of this commute? I guess this man will result in the most profit for shareholders. I can't even comprehend how someone can justify it, though.

One month into Trump’s second term, many feel buyer’s remorse

None of the ones that I know care at all. They see it as if their sports team won the big game. I have checked in to see if they care about Musk's Nazi salute, the response was "he was just excited and it was an awkward mishap". Checked in about their taxes being raised in the new policy, the response was "I don't know if that's true." Checked in about the unqualified appointments to high office, the response was "those are just smear campaigns by the left."

Honestly, short of Elon or Trump showing up on their doorstep and kicking their dog, I do think they will ever think "Hey, maybe he's not a good guy and doesn't have my best interest at heart." Fox News, Newsmax, and whatever the hell else these people have been swallowing has rotted their brains to the point that they will not see reality.

What Is Actually Going On With Elon Musk?

It's ironic that Elon runs a company called Tesla, when he is so clearly a modern-day Edison. Taking credit for the great ideas of other engineers. I have always doubted his genius, because anyone who tries that hard to prove to everyone he is smart is just selling himself to make money.

It is so clear that he lied about the video game thing because it is a tactic that has worked for him before. Fake it till you make it. We need to stop considering any actions from SpaceX or Tesla to be the fruit of Elons labor, give the credit to the engineers there and let Elon be the weirdo knock off Tony Stark he always has been.

Trump in letter to Norwegian PM: "Feels no obligation to think purely of peace" due to Peace Prize rejection

Aside from the horrible implications of this letter. Can we address his writing style? For a man who was educated at the insitutions he attended, he sure doesn't show it. I know we are accustomed to reading his tweets, but Jesus Christ this is embarassing.

It appears he is just dictating letters to heads of state and not even having anyone give it a once over before slapping it on the white house letterhead and sending it.

These are the meandering thoughts of a lunatic.
