Thanks for the info on MuskX's real black eye info, I first read that here - you scooped. The "vibes" you speak about are a thing. That's why felonpotus (note, you can't spell "felon" without "elon") surrounds himself with faux "news" people, "reality housewife" types like Noem, Bondi, and Leavitt, extremist podcast celebrities, and real billionaires. The kinds of people others worship, or want to be - like going viral. Hannah Arendt is a prophet in the age of democracies turning authoritarian. In a truly educated society, she would he on a required reading list. How we get out of this coup is the crucial challenge of our US.

Hmm. Looks more like Phase 2 to me. The moment Elon is gone, Trump brings in Palantir to pick up the pieces. Given that Musk--like Vance--is really just a surrogate for Thiel, we are most likely witnessing a planned transition rather than a spontaneous event.

I wonder if this will turn into a Revenge of the Nerds scenario when the rest of the weird tech bros start to see the writing on the wall.

Brilliant write-up. I wonder if Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Timothy Snyder have written up appearances and vibes. To think it was a 60-yo gay dude that give musky the shiner.

I won’t. And neither should you. But imagine all the arrests if everyone posted: TACO tRUMP, TACO tRump, TACO tRUMP!!! It would keep AG Bimbondi really busy. So DON’T post anything that says TACO tRUMP or TACo tRump or TAco tRump or Taco tRump or taco tRump. Whatever you do, don’t call President Donald J. tRump “TACO”!! Repost so others are warned!

This latest taco insult is retarded. Everybody likes tacos. You are associating Trump with something people have positive feelings about. It seems to have captured the imagination of the TDS crowd though.

More likely that Musk already got what he came for / got bored / was under pressure from the Tesla board / drew too much attention away from the toddler in chief. It reached the tipping point. Two Narcs in one room rarely ends well.

Interestingly, the latest victim of our wannabe dictraitor is Leonard Leo of the Heritage Foundation.

I would punch Muskrat in the face too if Muskrat named me X or Emoji or whatever the fuck he called that rotten little kid.

I think it was Ogden Nash who said, referring to the Kennedy administration IIRC:

"we are always willing to impute,

unlikely virtues to the cute"

Did he punch himself? He said it was his five year old kid.

We need a list of all the people who undergone cosmetic surgery to enter Drumpf's club and a list of the techies who would had never been allowed to sit at the cool kid table.
