His dad recently saying how proud he is that elon is finally embracing his family's political leanings and then immediately talking about there's a long history of Nazis in the family is just hilarious

There are a lot of situations out there where people, myself included, say one thing but when it comes down to it, they'd do the same thing if given the chance. I try to be cognizant of that but this is one time where I can absolutely say I wouldn't be in that situation. I've turned down jobs for much less. Granted I wasn't offered anywhere near the kind of money this jagoff was making but money isn't a factor when it comes to something like this.

"The new Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach."

• Elon Musk

He was never for free speech. Just claimed he was and somehow people ate it up just like they always do with everything else he claims. He said this less than a month after buying Twitter btw.

Whoa whoa let's not get carried away. That's a load bearing pillar of the church pal

One must always take precaution when they lmao or ijbol. Rotflol-ing can also be dangerous unless of course you are on fire.

I figure I go with The Lotito plan, break it down into small pellets and just take it piece by piece with some mineral oil 😄

When asked if he would cut all aid to Ukraine if a peace deal can't be brokered he said:

The reason that I don’t like to tell you this is that, as a negotiator, when I sit down and talk to some very brilliant young people: young, young, young, young. Compared to me, you’re very young. But when I talk to people—when I start I think I have a very good plan to help, but when I start exposing that plan, it becomes almost a worthless plan.

There are almost too many wtf's in this quote to tackle lol. What the hell is this answer.

The absolute crazy thing is the energy prices. He said he'd cut energy prices in HALF within 12 months. Then he said it again. And again. He like quadrupled down on this and people actually bought it. This dude legitimately promised that all energy prices would be fucking halved in 12 months. I will eat my entire piece of shit car if that happens lol

The CEO pay is hilariously misrepresented as well. The Airbnb CEO might not get a huge salary compared to some of the others but he gets monstrous pay packages. He got $120 million in bonuses and stocks alone a few years ago.

Same goes for all CEOs. They typically wrap an ass ton of their "income" into bonuses and stocks options.

It's not entirely out of touch tho. Trust me, there is a not insignificant sect of the populace that firmly believes if private insurance goes away and the country just dips it's toes into universal healthcare, the communists have won and the country is ruined beyond repair somehow.

After talking to a good amount of these folks, I'll say the absolute bonkers mental gymnastics to justify that line of thought is truly something to behold.

This will look just spectacular on my grocery bill. Prolly like 75% of my produce comes from Mexico right now.

There was a time not too long ago where I would have just assumed a move this clearly douchey and against your customers' desires would lead to nothing but a complete evacuation of those customers, but I've seen this movie play out enough times to know that somehow, someway, this will work out just fine for them. People will complain, swallow it whole, keep on using it, and finally just forget about it.
