I mean, he might be right. Buy the dip innit

He might well be but that's not really the issue.

 

[Mr. Tea]

The other day he was talking about how he designed the cybertruck and thought 'Blade Runner' was the name of the character in the film and not a job title. "I tried to imagine what Blade Runner would drive."

Reminds me of a friend of mine who's a big Blondie fan and she gets absolutely furious when people think Debbie Harry is literally called 'Blondie.'

 

[Mr. Tea]

Well this seems perfectly normal and not at all disproportionate:

Tesla vandals face up to 20 years in prison, says attorney general

The US attorney general said a wave of vandalism and arson attacks at Tesla dealerships is "domestic terrorism".

[Mr. Tea]

Pretty soon people are going to find their whole families being sent to Guantanamo for turning a photo of President Musk towards the wall, aren't they?

Elon's old quake clan profile....

"Craterus" - "an actively assulting"

 

[IdleRich]

Is that legal? It sems a tiny bit undemocratic to me.

Elon's old quake clan profile....

"Craterus" - "an actively assulting"

Yet more evidence that somewhere in an attic, a portrait of Musk is continually getting cooler and cooler.

Mr. Free Speech at it again...

Separately, X banned access to hundreds of accounts last week after a request from Turkish authorities but said it objected to the court rulings.​

WILMINGTON, Delaware, March 26 (Reuters) - The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.​

I suspect that this is just a pretext to shelter them from vandalism, long enough for progressives to forget their latest pastime and go back to chasing Jews.

I'm sure Craner follows this account.

He's perfectly happy for corporations to globalise but not people.

BOCA CHICA VILLAGE, Texas — Driving down a long empty stretch of Highway 4 in South Texas, there are few indications that this windswept corner of the nation, bound by the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande, is host to more than dense mesquite thickets and the ghosts of the Civil War. The land feels vast, unchanging and decidedly apolitical — bigger than people altogether.​

​

That is, until a break in the brush reveals an enormous gold bust of Elon Musk, staring into the distance.​

​

Then, signs of the political moment are everywhere. U.S. Immigration and Enforcement agents in bullet-proof jackets flag down passing cars at an inland border checkpoint.​

​

A road leading off the highway reads “Mars-a-Lago.” A hundred yards away, bookending an old, black Studebaker parked for-sale in a dusty pullout, murals of Musk’s face and the DOGE Shiba Inu plaster two 30-foot concrete towers.​

​

And finally, rising from the empty salt plains, in the shadow of a towering rocketship and suborbital launch vehicles, sit homes and hangars, office buildings and neighborhood streets. This is Starbase, the soon-to-be newest city in Texas, and Elon Musk’s first company town. The far-flung settlement, populated almost entirely by SpaceX employees and construction workers, is the site of SpaceX’s launchpad for their next-generation of Starship rockets, and home base for humanity’s future colonization of Mars.​
