    Elon getting so insane that if you simply do the opposite of what he says you will make the world better.

      I remember the whole cave rescue and calling the rescue guy a pedophile. I feel like that was the moment people realized he was insane and not some real life Tony Stark

        Yup I feel the same way, like that was the moment he snapped or the crazy finally came out. Before I was a big fan, but it went downhill from there pretty fast. Though I’ve heard him on the Lex Friedman podcast like a year ago, and then he came across pretty sane - he just acts insane a lot of other times as well.

        This right here. This was the turning point for me.

        I used to view him as a slightly eccentric billionaire using his funds towards positive progress… Boy howdy was I wrong.

        I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought ‘What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.’

        That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.

        And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.

        If that’s true, it’s more than money. If you take money from the mafia and don’t deliver, it’s about your life. That could be one of the many reasons he tried to back away from the purchase. I don’t get why CIA isn’t all over this.

        And it’s not just about the election. They’re trying to destablisize everything in the west.

          Yep, every single right-wing party gaining traction in Europe, every single one, has connections to Russia. Im the case of Germany, left- and right-wing.

    Sounds like he is starting to panic, realizing that Donnies chances are slipping since the debate and his inability to gain traction since then

    Can we just banish this South African immigrant? He can enjoy his home country and fuck right off with his authoritarian bs.

      When all else fails, just tell flat out lies.

      It’s the Roy Cohen way. He “educated” the weak, weird, old orange felon.

    This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

    The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America.

    There are some other eye opening parts but this one jumped out at me. He really does see the world from only his viewpoint. He thinks California changed for the worse but he could leave to Texas and still influence California using money even though people chose a different form of government than what he wanted.

    For him, the collective choosing to change the system is very dangerous and it has to be forever in a status quo so rich people can play both sides.

    I honestly wish he was smarter than this.

    And here I didn’t think I could hate this guy any more. Truly a vile piece of shit. I’m glad I never bought one of his cars and well he’s at that company, I never will.
