[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 year ago (3 children) THIS ISN'T NEWS. We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo. Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, but this is about who's saying it. Dude's rallying up his minions, which means Elon is declaring war, and I personally can't stop laughing at all this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustAnotherPodunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) The funny thing about Elon going to war, is that Elon will lose. Fantastically so. The ketamine must still be flowing hard. 5 years ago Trump's base hated his cars. It's only when Elon hitched his cart to maga that they started to like him. An unsold cyber trucks are in mall parking lots and his stocks globally are tanking. So, now Tesla's stock is in the shitter. Liberals hate him and don't want his cars. And now the GOP will flip on him and also not buy his cars. He's also now going to wreck his government contracts with SpaceX. Mars will never happen for him. And now Twitter will take an even bigger hit. Those ai protections can be drafted to exclude him and his companies too. He will absolutely damage trump and split a few people off, but he was in a losing position to begin with. Even with damning evidence and the persuasive media skills and charisma of a much more talented individual, he is so fucking cooked. Without that... Well, now there is only one psychopathic narcissist in the leadership role. So that's nice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Mars will never happen for him.
