Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Thanks. A handy verse to throw in the face of those who claim to be Christians.
Is Elon a Christian?
Not that I'm aware of, but a lot of his new followers are.
You think the Secret Service got the joke?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a visit. Any of the rest of us might have for statements like that.
I think you have answered your own question.
Slash he surrounded himself with people absolutely willing to step on one another to gain power and wealth so of course they're going to laugh at all of his "jokes"
probably one of the lawyers told him to cool it.
He's incredibly paranoid and conspiracy minded. He probably realized after "just asking questions / joking" that "they" might send a few of these guys for him next! 2spooky4him
Lol at "the context". Bitch, WHAT context would make it any better?
I’m sure the yes men he surrounds himself with was “the context”.
Being in a room full of nazis would make that "joke" a total thigh-slapper.
And being surrounded by yes men. And by right wing nutjobs.
Turns out some things simply aren't funny. Not posting a thought right when it comes to your head also helps.
I can just see him making his “joke” then doing that annoying over the top laugh with all his sycophants grinning along.

Lots of regular people know thats its risky to send a sarcastic text
Sometimes I'm feeling bold and leave out the /s. You gotta keep it spicy.
