I'm glad the Farms exists. When I tell people irl Elon is a retarded autist who was yes-manned and enabled his whole life, they tell me not to be mean to autists.
When I say that to you guys, you say "Yeah, we know."
The truly astonishing thing is how typical autism is in these gazillionaires that created these companies. I've met Bill Gates. He's autistic as fuck. I have friends that worked directly for Steve Jobs back in the day. Their stories of batshit insane autism are amazing. They're all just lolcows that hit the lottery.
 
Also, literally what is Elon's reasoning here? He knew Trump was a child rapist but he was totally cool with it and they were best friends and he gave him hundreds of millions of dollars to win the election? What did he mean by that?
He's not saying Trump is a pedophile, he''s saying that one of (maybe the main reason) that the Epstein files are being withheld is that President Trump's name is in them. This is probably at least partially true, and additionally others are likely named that President Trump wants to protect. that desire is dumb, but it is consistent with President Trump's past actions.
 
The BBB is the closest we will get to perfect in terms of getting Trump's plan pushed through.
Why? Why can't congress work an an actual bill that will get Trump's agenda done without adding 5t to the debt ceiling? Unless of course Trump's agenda includes piling on more debt. I loathe the idea that the government can only work by making massive obtuse bills that no one reads and pushing them through as fast as possible. Literal retard tier governance.
 
That's the scary thing, too early to know. But stockpiles and food innovation, even if half the country was agriculturally quarantined, gives us time.

But the woman's crime is basically a war crime/ crime against humanity since the INTENT to starve millions to death, one of the few women I wouldn't lose sleep if she was housed with a tranny sex offender, because...I mean it's trying to murder millions. Basically terrorism worse than 911
Billions, The US only eats like 30% of the calories we grow.
 
It's because Elon's moneymaking methods are dependent on the current system Trump is getting rid of and wants to prevent. He's directly in conflict with everything Trump objectively wants or wanted to do. He was pissed Trump was shitting in his yard. He was pissed Trump didn't (and couldn't) act on DOGE cuts. He was pissed Congress and the GOP can't do anything about USAID and the cuts. He was hoping Trump would clean house and instead he's slow rolling or not doing what needs to be done.
Elon should have realized that the Democrats and liberals will never take him back, and while not ideal, so long as Trump is his patron he gets protected from the EU trying to censor X, he gets a line to the most powerful man in the world, and can continue launching his rockets or whatever. Of course, he overestimated his hand and leverage and, even when Trump initially brushes off his critique of the BBB, keeps digging himself deeper in his hole until a conflict has to erupt.
 
Trump's unironically doing more to fight oligarchy. Elon's going to come out of this worse. Trump might lose some of the tech bros, Elon's really reaching if he thinks he'll pull a significant portion of Trump's base.

Overall, good for Trump. Elon had a lot of baggage and this was a great way to get rid of it.
Partially agree, would have been ideal to keep pulling the tech bros into the populist right portion of the Trump movement. The movement needs big social media platforms that just dont tolerate them but actively boost the agenda.

But Elon shows time and time again he has little concern for anybody other than himself. Just ask the kids he neglects.
 
I think many of us already knew this was going to happen. I, too, would play Elon like a fiddle and dump him a few months later. Trump continues to be the funniest president.
He was probably already on his way out when he started sperging about H1B on the internet and calling bullshit on anyone saying that Indians were becoming a problem, forcing Trump to sit him down and have a talk.
