>Promised to release files on day one, didn't.
>Had AG come out and say some stupid shit about protecting victims, as if the perps didn't already know their victims and as if the country wouldn't come together to defend them when they're outed, making the redaction narrative nonsensical.
>Has his FBI heads Kash Patel and Dan Bongino bafflingly come out and say Epstein in fact did kill himself, and they have video that can't possibly exist to prove it, conveniently as AI tools have gotten good enough to fake such a video... and still didn't release this alleged video by the date they said they would.
>Has his bestie (archive) Musk:

trumpmuskbesties - Copy.webp

come out and confirm that the reason Trump has had his people delay and give excuses, is because he's directly implicated. It being Musk there's immense credibility to the accusation given how close they were by Trump's own account until incredibly recently.
>Could defuse this by immediately releasing the Epstein files, doesn't.

Yeah bros I'm sure he's totally innocent and he uh, just has good reasons or whatever.

Bonus round the logic that 'well if he was in it the Democrats would've used it' is bunk because they not only did, if you forgot the talking point that he was on the list too has been in use for months now, but also the logic cuts both ways, if he is truly innocent and the only people implicated are his enemies, there's no good reason to keep them under lock and key from the public.

Just to have a nice little summation of the situation so far for anyone perusing the thread.

This is retarded.

This is a graph showing the increase in solar power compared to Nuclear, that doesn't mention that solar is heavily subsidized.
All while Nuclear reactors have pretty much stopped being built in any number that matters.

Not to mention the massive amount of land you need to make solar worth it. I think Nuclear, natural gas and maybe even coal generate more power for the space they take up.

Sorry tech retard, I don't want America to be turned into a giant solar field.

More AWS-8Q Than You said:
China also has just a ton of useless desert and wasteland and a complete disregard of the environment, so they can slam down mass solar panels. Assuming they're not just lying through the teeth about it, because China lies about everything. I'm sure he'd love solar too, given the degradation of photovoltaic cells he'd make bank replacing them all the time. The future is the Atom and any good deeds Jimmy Carter did in his life are completely undone by the damage he did to our nuclear industry. Placing the grid under the tender mercies of the fucking clouds, especially when other retarded billionaire plutocrats want to seed the clouds to produce even more cloud cover, is the dumbest fucking idea in the world. There's enough fissile material in the planet to keep us in power until the Sun swallows the Earth.

A lot of Chinese solar panels are useless because they're always under a thick layer of smog.

Nuclear is the future. Elon is retarded and mad on the internet.
Solar doesn't work in places that don't get a ton of sunlight. Or where its cloudy a lot. Or in the winter. Or when it snows.
Nuclear doesn't have that problem. Rain, Snow, Sleet, or Sunshine, you're getting power. As long as the lines delivering it are up and working.

Don't believe China's lies. They're all about appearances. If china is using so much solar energy, why did they build a shitload of coal power plants?

Fun idea: search "Elon Musk" in this thread by date, go to the last entries and read forward, see who was falling all over him "Cocaine Mitch" style and who's asshurt now.
:story:

Good on H-1B Elon for saying the obvious, blatant truth about the delay in releasing the Epstein files.

Edit: here is a decent-ish place to start if you want to look for poorly-aged praise, lmao.

Nuance exists not everyone has to be 100% or nothing all the time
I think Elon did good with DOGE
I also think Elon is a fucking retard for h-1bs
I like the policies Trump has implemented
I also hated how dicksucky he used to be to Israel (which thankfully seems to be reversing now)

A really horrific thought crossed my mind. All those solar panels in China are going straight into the pacific ocean in the next 30 to 50 years.

Its been reported China has put kill switches into solar inverters and solar batteries. So they could shut the grid off at place that use them.

Probably more like 5 to 10. I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure a photovoltaic cell is down to 50% of its max energy production in that time frame. Nuclear doesn't give a fuck, give it water and fuel rods and it's on. And with Small Modular Reactors, you can even get them to smaller and more isolated communities. Solar's great for off-the-grid applications, I'm not going to shit on it where it's actually useful, but for baseload? Forget about it, nuclear with natural gas and/or coal to handle surges and such? Can't beat it.
