I have a hard time believing that republicans will allow this.
I don’t.
You’re telling me that the “We the People” crowd is going to ok with martial law?
Do you remember January 6th? If they were going to turn against Trump, that would have been the time. Republicans love the idea of martial law being used against protestors and racial minorities.
Do you think Elon musk reads everything that people @ him on twitter
It’s extraordinarily frustrating to have no part in US happenings, but to be directly impacted by the dumbassery.
Congratulations! Now you know how most Americans feel too in this fundamentally undemocratic country.
The kind of shit you post when you don’t know that in the last couple years we’ve had multiple of the largest protests in human history. Sorry they didn’t make the fascist news media that is apparently your only source of info
Trump is trying to turn you against regular people in the USA (just like he wants to turn regular people in the USA against you) and it sounds like it’s working.

Hey. Donald Trump wants you to hate Americans to ratchet up conflicts between the two countries, and it sounds like it’s working on you lmao. Do whatever you want with this information
Something something GWOT chickens coming home to roost
They could have also bought the F35 parts from Israel (they’ve done shit like this before, because they are objectively terrible allies).

Oh hell yeah, you’re making it sound cool

TBH as a non-Tesla owner, Teslas are the only brand of cars that I’ve encountered that light up and verbally threaten me that they’re recording me when I walk by.
SpaceX was basically all him.
Anecdotally, I’ve personally spoken with many former & current SpaceX employees who would disagree with you. He’s mostly known for slowing shit down by interrupting their work with “disruptive” new layouts for assembly lines and then fucking off for another six months.
The car is fantastic. FSD is fantastic. Love the guy or hate him, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned by a significant margin.
As a car guy, this is wild, and makes me question if you’ve driven other electric cars. IMO Teslas aren’t that much fun to drive compared to other electric cars, and with the FSD thing that makes me think they’re primarily targeted at people who don’t like driving anyway. Which is fine, but like, IMO they have slow, grainy steering and overall feel like tanks in the bad way.
I think he has done a lot of good for our civilization with SpaceX and Tesla and bringing about the era of actual electric cars (which previously were perpetually always 10 years away)
I don’t think Musk made electric cars happen any faster. The delay was technical, caused by lack of lithium batteries, older batteries just couldn’t do the range. Once there were lithium batteries, lots of companies started making practical electric cars. We saw a renaissance in portable power tools at the same time for the same reason, and Musk isn’t involved in that industry at all (although if he was half the “industrialist” he claims to be, I think he would be).
He was right about the need to build out big capacity for building lithium batteries and charging stations, but hardly alone in saying this stuff, and mostly appropriated government money for these things rather than using his own.
The guy still makes an excellent car.
Not according to the crash statistics… 21% higher than average death rate in crashes (coming in 21st out of 26 compared brands) and that’s 2023 numbers, so before the cybertruck.
Well if it’s all automated then surely it will be cheap or free without insurance. Right? Right Anakin??
We all know it will still cost just as much. Fuck these companies
I don’t mean to sound so partisan, but i think the “red state” is a big part of the problem here. I’ve had my share of pain in the ass doctors… and it ended when I moved from a rural/conservative area to a big progressive city.
I mean… anything in the constitution can be changed with enough political willpower. Peaceful legal secession from the USA is without precedent, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen in the future. However, it does seem unlikely in the immediate future.
In this case it would be more like Scotland potentially leaving the UK to rejoin the EU. The west coast would be leaving the USA to rejoin the international community lmao
We’re cultured like yoplait
