Elon is getting fat. Like old fat.

Someone tell the Republicans we found the immigrant interfering with the election.

[–] rsuri@lemmy.world 29 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's funny how this maps exactly onto the Hunter Biden files, except that everything Republicans lied about happening is now actually happening.

Every accusation is an admission

Someone please tell me that if we stop Trump, Musk shouts NO IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY! and then spontaneously, melts, or shatters like glass, or gets swallowed up by a chasm, or eaten by hyenas.

And then every cybertruck, every tesla, every Spacex capsule and every Starlink satellite simultaneously turns into magic dust before evaporating into nothing.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

He will get eaten by hyenas, his investors, and then put in a cell.

Ready or Not rules: If trump doesn't win in november then Musk and his entire empire explodes.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Almost 100% onboard. The exception is SpaceX.

Obviously I don't know the exact specifics of how they're successful and I don't care.

Leave SpaceX out as the "black sheep", even though they should be the "golden child".

I wish SpaceX continued success and a future of good luck.

I think Tesla could also be a company driving positive change if he wasn't cutting costs and pushing stupid products

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

SpaceX deserves a CEO who isn't a complete disaster and enemy of the state.

It has Gwynne Shotwell, and she generally does quite well at managing Musk's impact.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 minutes ago

Imagine how much better the company would be if she didn't have to burn so much of her time and effort on managing and mitigating Musk's chaos.

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Indeed. She must be keeping very busy. I haven't read much about her in a while (since she publicly defended him from sex scandals).

I wonder how she really feels about his spiralling mental illnesses and tragic obsessions (social media, conspiracies, politics). He seems quite useless and irrelevant to any business decisions these days. Just another investor to keep happy.

[–] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 5 points 12 hours ago

It can be successful with Musk. Would love to see it separated from him

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 27 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I thought that was the whole point of buying Twitter…

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

That doesn't make it legal

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 49 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Musk is on the trump mushroom dick train because he's afraid he's going to get indicted, and trump has already offered him a full pardon.

This makes too much sense to not be true.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Elon doesn't want to have to compete with Chinese makes rolling into Mexico. Trump promised 200% tariffs on Mexican produced cars. He basically has a captive market in the US on connected cars I don't really see anything in our domestic market that is comparable.

Yeeah, a lot of these "not really news" lately.. but it's good that they're talked about at least.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 10 points 16 hours ago
[–] twig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, and that is clearly the reason he purchased the platform.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

He purchased the platform because he was forced to buy it after he fucked around.

Unfortunately, we're the ones that get to "find out".
