  1. How about the entire administration too.
    354
  2. Great advert for United, now imagine how qualified their pilots must be.
    207
  3. Sure nice to have the UN and YT saving me from disinformation.
    135
  4. Goes to show what Jordan Peterson suggested--don't think you or we can't become unfathomably evil like common folks in Nazi Germany.
    100
  5. "Guy"? That's a stretch.
    63
  6. Vevik R. might be the closest approximation atm. I'll def support Mr. T. but don't expect anywhere near this Javier level of action from T.
    62
  7. Us shareholders gained 10X due to Elon's heroic miracles and this two-cent judge overturns our vote as casually as a Sunday stroll in the park. Infuriating doesn't begin to describe my thoughts. Skimmed entire 200pg tome, "rational" for judgment made in advance. Tipped her hand in the first sentence referring to his wealth. Then multiple times including "the richest man in the world..." Not that it matters but he wasn't even in top 10 richest when WE the shareholders overwhelmingly voted for his contract.

  8. It's completely unprecedented, Delaware has a long history of corporate law and some 80% of America Corps register there for that reason, big source of revenue for the state. Expect that to change going forward, corps moving out and new ones incorporating elsewhere.
    46
  9. It's advocating terror, death and destruction, that's a lessor violation by far but we got BIG problems.
    45
  10. Most important she is clear, articulate and coherent.
    45
  11. He was never brilliant, just personable and moderately entertaining.
    43
  12.  @n.w.414  Didn't he say that last time and fail to execute on it?
    37
  13. When a young woman asked Biden about Elon's influence in Twitter, JB says with a wry smile: "There are many ways to go after him. MANY ways." More recently Hunter Biden said he personally knows every judge in Delaware.
    34
  14. Bring back insane asylums.
    33
  15. Uniparty and weakness.
    31
  16. How about 50% of army soldiers be women and forcing them to be plumbers, welders, electricians, line'men', diesel mechanics.....?
    30
  17. Friend was a passionate phsyc professor in Cali Bay Area--he quit couple yrs ago bc he wasn't allowed to tell the truth, constantly clashing with administrators and knew he'd be canned soon anyway.
    30
  18. Turdeau is about the worst leader in the West, even tops my horrible gov Newsom.
    29
  19. While he dodges any responsibility for the blatant reckless propaganda he's been mired in for a decade.
    29
  20. And for an innocuous protest on J6.
    26
  21. Freeing the Bird may well have saved the nation, and by extension, the Western World.
    25
  22. Pro vacc in general I thought I'd get it but was skeptical too especially with the deluge of propaganda, etc. THEN the mandates came down which triggered MY MANDATE of non compliance.
    25
  23. New rule--if POTUS can't get up on his own he's fired.
    24
  24. Obsolescence of Establishment Media Mafia the best thing that could happen in America today.
    22
  25. I've never been in either tribe, still not, but have become hardcore anti-Leftist (they are Authoritarian, I lean Libertarian) which will mean voting R foreseeably.
    22
  26. Highly recommend every American tune into this particular Rogan show, last 2hrs in particular, very enlightening.
    22
  27. I delayed, see how it played out for a while, thought I'd get one but then the mandates came down, that triggered my own mandate of noncompliance.
    21
  28.  @joelbellJB  Disagree--I hear of a home invasion in a well off neighborhood in OroGone, dude was prepped and armed but in the sauna and vulnerable at that moment, and I think--"That could be any of us. I need to think about it."
    21
  29.  @DM-dk7js  Effective? Seems everyone got sick vacced or not.
    21
  30. Never been a Conservative nor Dem but became simply anti-Leftist in recent yrs.
    21
  31. I don't interact with anyone still wearing a mask, don't trust'em don't like them.
    21
  32. She was in panic attack territory at end of clip.
    20
  33. CNN is even worse, why would anyone tune into them?
    19
  34. IDK enough about RFK but Elon and T will get along just fine. Both are fixated on the massive project ahead and in agreement of fundamental goals, the friction will come from the rest of DC.
    19
  35. The power of confining oneself to one extremist bubble never fails to astound.
    18
  36. Not just here but in every single job ever created. This is the obvious result of moronic "identity" over proficiency and performance. We will soon see disasters in the airline industry as well.
    18
  37.  @trismaccarran9950  Something we all have to guard against. Politically it's easier for me than most, never been tribal, never aligned with ANY political party. (lean Libertarian but don't agree with them on everything either) Was a time the Right seemed the bigger threat to liberty, the Constitution and basic human rights, today it's clearly the Left. How about you?
    17
  38. For the saner rest of us, let's embrace anyone making the "transition" to our side, offer them a friendly home of sorts.
    17
  39.  @unleavenedkaraiteplus3412  Absolutely the entire story, it's pointless to report it. Best that corporate simply shutters locations with this sort of tolerance for crime.
    17
  40. In this situation T is Elon's boss, and that's OK, they'll be totally fixated on the goals they both passionately align on and fighting the entire Establishment, not eachother.
    17
  41. Similar worked last time but it's getting old and tired.
    16
  42. How do they not realize that ignoring aptitude, destroying Meritocracy for your "team", will destroy your own business?
    16
  43. IDK but in SF for example--ppl quit reporting car burglaries, shoplifting, assault and more because they aren't prosecuted, theirs no point in it and cops rightly don't bother with the catch and release policies. Murder is the only stat that is accurate, most of those are counted.
    16
  44. Well said. We cannot afford to let this slide, real PUNISHMENT must be had for the thug cops to the Authoritarian Pols.
    16
  45. IDK Oz but this is a no brainer, pardon the PUN!!
    16
  46. Never been a Mr. T. fan and he failed to drain the swamp but sure revealed it's breadth, depth and insidious anti-American behavior.
    16
  47.  @xslayer14  It's definitely Cali policy even if unspoken. Cal Coastal Commission, which is supposed to only be concerned w environmental issues, just explicitly stated the quiet part out loud from multiple bureaucrats that they were punishing SpaceX for Elon's political views.
    15
  48.  @robedmund9948  I don't buy that, principle is irresponsible, entirely possible for him/her to know and WTH are they doing if they don't know that?? Worthless.
    15
  49.  @wasdwasdedsf  His voice would have been canceled by now by the old Twitter, they even canceled Trump while he was a sitting president. Turning Twitter into X secured his voice and everyone else's.
    15
  50. MSM is solidifying it's obsolescence here.
    15
  51.  @vikinglife6316  One key reason I 'bet the ranch' on TSLA in 2019 was Elon's 2018 comp pkg. This is months old "news" and we are still mad as hell. Welcome to the USSA Banana Republic.
    15
  52. And I'm happy to see it as this level of idiocy can't possibly be politically sustainable.
    15
  53. Essentially guaranteed, even Dems don't like him much.
    14
  54. But it seems those generations are learning while the oldest gen is the one most influenced by dying legacy media component of The Machine. IF T can deliver, if the illegitimate 4th branch of government is slashed as intended, GDP growth could double along with all that implies, that should solidify more support for similar policies going forward.
    14
  55. Don't forget that the government entirely depends on Elon, SpaceX for space access.
    14
  56. I've always been non-tribal, Centrist, but have become hardcore anti-Leftist in recent yrs. (still not a conservative per se, more Libertarian)
    13
  57. His only appeal ever was being personable, likable, he never exuded much intelligence.
    13
  58. CNN with facts? Astounding.
    13
  59. Cuban has never impressed me as very smart, goes to show that anyone can become very wealthy in America. 😄
    13
  60. The only exposure I get to them is 2nd hand like this, I suggest everyone else boycott them as well.
    13
  61.  @serif392  A bigger mess than authoritarian rule Aussi style? Not quite but some states are close to that bad.
    12
  62. Put in my two bits via purchasing Canadian, American and "Don't Tread On Me" flags...hope to see some action from my Commifornia too.
    12
  63. Everything said HERE was accurate.
    12
  64. Eric went against the Biden admin on a few things, could be more lawfare, this time for the additional purpose of appearing to not be politically biased.
    12
  65. He absolutely will. He's been consistently practicing what he 'preaches' for decades.
    12
  66. YOU will have the option of turning off the crap you don't want to see. Soon there will be a YouTube competing video feature so, YT--quit the insane censorship or lose market share.
    12
  67. Assume sarcasm on "looking trustworthy". Everything 'bout her screams scammer.
    11
  68. Virtue signaling and catering to emotions and feelings is all that matters to her core constituency.
    11
  69. Not only that but they were literally selling blue checks to celebs and pundits, etc...for around $15k out the back door, losing that exclusivity and what they illicitly paid for pisses those folks off.
    11
  70. And we didn't find it here today. Did U listen or just react to title?
    11
  71.  @bnssoftware3292  Not even close, we need to abolish The Patriot Act, FBI, CIA, DHS..... just to get started.
    10
  72.  @Barbaralee1205  Agreed until I remember that Al Gore and Obama got similar for NOTHING.
    10
  73. HA! If a scrap of justice left in USSA she'll go to jail.
    10
  74. For many it was a matter of the jab or loss of career, tough choice at the time.
    10
  75. I'm not, shows her evolving over time which is the proper way for all.
    10
  76. Millions of them unfortunately.
    9
  77. "Kid" can be any age, some never grow up.
    9
  78. Make an exception on religious freedom and ban Islam.
    9
  79.  @bcbp14  As do many American's we've recently learned. I don't take the virus lightly but our embracing of Chinese style heavy hand terrifies me.
    9
  80.  @TinusTegenlicht  10's of millions of unfilled jobs in USA for many yrs. He's already made millions of us millionaires. Luddite much?
    9
  81.  @nedhill1242  It does seem the pendulum has abruptly shifted direction from peak insanity, that's the best we could expect at this point. It will take time.
    9
  82. I don't think tyrants are funny. He's F'n scary, even worse than our horrific Newsom.
    9
  83. They only claim some $10M in assets, the hope is criminal charges against involved individuals and discovery that may include government institution inputs.
    9
  84. Elon bought Twitter to free the Bird, despite over paying for it and crashing TSLA in the process and reducing his big stake in Tesla. "Some things are priceless." as he said.
    9
  85. I'm not a fan of ball sports or Christianity but I'll cheer for success of a real man like him six ways to Sunday.
    9
  86. Not just CEO but also CFO and 2 top censor/cancel chiefs, the head of the snake lopped off.
    9
  87. Urge every American to watch Rogan - Andreesen show, at least last 2hrs, highly enlightening crucial information.
    9
  88. It's about power and controlling the people....OH...and EGO.
    9
  89. Who'd have guessed SoyBoy's political stance?
    8
  90. Yup, and I have two sibling professors, lk to think they were never a part of this crap.
    8
  91.  @hellooutthere8956  Until things get really bad, can't imagine German Jews under the Nazis wouldn't have chosen to shoot it out in the streets, at least in hindsight. IDK if they had an inkling of what was to come but I bet some would have fought had they been well armed. Far better to go down fighting than slaughtered naked in a gas chamber.
    8
  92. He does 'check-in' with such organizations sometimes, that's OK, to keep tabs on them, to understand the power and threat.
    8
  93. Yeah it's reckless stupidity to incur big student debt without a concrete plan to pay it off fast, that starts with a lucrative career not some basket weaving crap.
    8
  94. Astounding one could say that with a straight face.
    8
  95. We are the USSA Banana Republic.

  96. @@Paiichii Lol. Did you notice what it was like before he took over? WTH are you talking about?
    8
  97. And wondering who they can trust as they've been clearly heavily infiltrated.
    8
  98. Amazing fragility. Used to have high regard for his analytical capacity and articulation regardless of agreement or not, now he's gone full emotionally controlled stupid.
    8
  99. I wouldn't call it remotely a "me too", that intern was fully into it, not coerced, just drunk on the relationship to power.
    8
  100. Quite a bind they earn their way into.
    7
  101.  @carmiethompson2676  Yeah this sort of shameful garbage is celebrated here in Commifortia.
    7
  102.  @bcbp14  Particularly disgusted with my own Commifornia. If it weren't for the natural landscape that I'm so attatched to: Pristine High Sierras, giant redwoods, and all the rest (credit to Left leanings for helping preserve those with the glaring exception of fire mismanagement)--I'd be looking to move to a freer state. I literally can't tolerate flatlands, depressing to me, plus I grow everything from apples to avocadoes, not many places I can duplicate that.
    7
  103.  @donquixote1502  There are some good sources available, I suggest Timcast IRL but you are still going to have to make the effort to think for yourself You can't escape that necessity of life and expect to thrive. The establishment has been telling you what to believe, spoon feeding you, that's not going to end well if you can't see thru it.
    7
  104. Mr. T. is disqualifying himself in my eyes, DeSantis record is much better anyway.
    7
  105.  @jimskarw25  "Some things are priceless." (Elon when talking about Twit worth less than half what he paid for it)
    7
  106.  @TheodoreDane  I took his comment as entirely general, not specific to this particular example, there was no relativism involved there, Good GRIEF.
    7
  107. Assault on everything good that matters starting w Meritocracy, integrity, productivity, anti-fragile, courage....
    7
  108. Google search is also highly corrupted and should be avoided.
    7
  109. And the solution here is SO simple--big fast snowplows have just been idled in the Sierras for the season, hrs away and would fix this in minutes.
    7
  110. As compared to J6? Point being that this would be generally called that if it were a MAGA gathering.
    7
  111.  @southerncatlady6680  No she didn't.
    7
  112. About 1/3 at least will "vote for her", vote against Mr. T. that is.
    6
  113. Even while stoned they are more rational than average of my Commifornian comrades.
    6
  114. WOW! Quite an anecdote. I'm afraid to even ask half of my family, lol. But I have gone from 'complex Centrist, to simply hardcore ANTI-LEFTIST
    6
  115. Thanks for the tip! Going to find that.
    6
  116. Amazing it needs to be said.
    6
  117. I'm amazed how FEW folks here in Commifornia even know about the Canadian Truckers.
    6
  118. These tools remind me of the wannabe tyrant who gleefully forced me to wear a pointless mask in the sandwich shop he was momentarily in charge of, back when that was a thing, shop owned by a friend of mine. Disgusting types.
    6
  119.  @mattsparks5957  It was far harder IPO to 2018 plus. NEVER been easy, worst thing is to react emotionally, must be cold blooded calculative. (didn't even know that was a word, HA!) AI, FSD, they have momentum along with all the hardware, energy, etc....TSLA is still valuable in the worst case. Just not near as valuable without Musk. Us retailers learn discuss and VOTE, that's our part to worry about. We can't control corrupt courts.
    6
  120. Always leaned Libertarian and can get along with anyone not trying to infringe on my Constitutional liberties
    6
  121.  @MrFg1980  It's an old joke , Elon once said it: Jeff WHO?!?

  122. Definitely deserves death penalty but we'd be lucky if he serves any time.

  123. It's what they've been doing.
    6
  124.  @trismaccarran9950  Propaganda works, none of us are immune to it. I fell for much of the same garbage you did. Still don't much like Trump (growing on me tho) but absolutely obligated to support him after all the institutional treachery leveled against him.
    5
  125. Trudeau wants to be dictator and this is his best shot, your pols might have a scrap of common decency.
    5
  126. It would be an interesting experiment because unearned wealth tends to destroy the lives of those receiving it. I believe that's the reason for the so called "Lottery Curse". Folks who think money will solve all their problems are completely unprepared for the inevitable new problems they never even thought of.
    5
  127. Being candid which is a higher form of honesty and why many of us love that quality.
    5
  128. Written ending applies to ME. Lifelong Centrist now simply anti-leftist
    5
  129. Mr. T. had his chance and blew it, IDK why it would be better 2nd time around but if he's on the ticket I'll be obligated to support him, lessor of evils and most important--to push back against the machine.
    5
  130.  @vikinglife6316  Sure, unless he was an exceptional leader which T proved not to be. A severe "landslide victory" could also provide the power, mandate of the ppl, at least to the extent of his campaign promises. T is relatively centrist, we need more of a Libertarian. T still brags about all the lives he saved via lockdowns, pure BS, he should apologize instead.

  133.  @carrierichardson6619  Is there any hope for us? :D I enjoyed having Newsom on the hot seat for a while but unfortunately we failed to kick him to the curb. I suffered a lengthy radio advertisement from Newsom days before the election tally--his biggest claim to fame? "I mandated that all health care workers be vaccinate." Kid you not, apparently the majority here thrives on authoritarianism. We did create Reagan, politically speaking, before my awareness of such things.
    5
  134.  @bcbp14  I'm in farther NorCali where we lean Republican, not that I personally ever aligned with R's either but they sure look better now. I'm more Libertarian which often puts me at odds with both parties, but Dems especially today for obvious reasons. That we are not happy here in the North, with the results of 40 yrs of Dem dominance, has driven the sort of silly but understandable move to carve off the North as the state of "Jefferson". Good luck in Florida! I like their style recently. :D
    5
  135. Doesn't matter, he checks one of the crucial Dem criteria boxes--he's gay and that matters.
    5
  136. I doubt they would dare. He gets away with quite a lot it Twitsville for obvious reasons. Soon enough everyone will be able to express themselves w/o fear.

  141. Even worse than the USSA today.

  142. Newsom doesn't need to go to hell when he can create it right where he is.
    5
  143. I skimmed her entire 200pg tome, there was no justification just clever words and repeated references to Elon's wealth.
    5
  144. Huh? She voided the contract WE voted for and the insane efforts Elon did to save and CREATE Tesla, as it stands he got ZERO compensation for his heroic efforts. ZERO.
    5
  145. Look at Leslie's expressions tho, she's clearly not buying any of it.

  146.  @Corporate101-mk6ib  I've never learned anything memorable from him and tuned in a fare amount yrs ago. But then I also tune into that topic for many decades, most are clueless about where we live in a cosmic sense. So if he reached the masses on that--fair point, still there are better sources. He's no Carl Sagan.
    5
  147. Too bad Rand Paul is not in the running, the one I could really get behind. Previously apposed Mr. T. but I'll vote anti-Leftist for the rest of my life, if that's for Trump so be it....certainly OK with DeSantis.
    5
  148. Jeff WHO?
    5
  149. My only concern about Gaetz is getting him confirmed by Congress. He seems to be exactly the wrecking ball we desperately need.
    5
  150.  @G360LIVE  Yes I get that. Never forget one's past record and stay skeptical. I don't know her at all, just learning here. But also allow for the possibility of genuine epiphanies and change. I was one who cheered for the Muller/Russian collusion farce back in the day. But eventually learned what was really going on, never be a Trump fan but I won't likely ever appose him again either. Propaganda works, we are all effected by it to one degree or another.

  151. I wish accountability had been done too but it hasn't so we must keep beating the drum for justice.

  156. Higher CO2 helps my organic gardens thrive. Ravaging the oceans is definitely a bigger concern and excess emphasis in one area causes neglect in others. The Left don't want universal wealth when they can have universal poverty instead.

  158. That takes time, almost never happens instantly like that.

  159.  @realityDoubleCheck-ss5xt  Of course and the law stipulates same.
    4
  160. Are the rest of us far behind? If we don't take action.
    4
  161. As a farther N. Commifornian *Lifer*...I resemble that sentiment. But the wild landscape, pristine High Sierra backcountry, redwoods, coast, climate the entire combo....impossible to duplicate just about anywhere.
    4
  162.  @HappyLife-wv5ms  He has a point but it's best left behind where it came from. Cross out LEFT and RIGHT focus on FORWARD.
    4
  163. You realize that the electorate is not one monolithic entity? That differing views are prevalent and that many less populated parts of Commifornia are actually red??
    4
  164.  @philipduffy6581  If you think Elon is one of them than you don't know anything about him.
    4
  165. SOME things--this tends to refute that, he couldn't have been that clueless.
    4
  166. At what point does hiding out become resignation of office?
    4
  167. All we need to do is boycott them, not that hard with a little practice. ;-) I recently added LAT (Los Angeles Times) to my list after their roll in deception during recall attempt on Kim Jung Newsom.

  168. "....will commit atrocities." I believe he said.

  169. See 2nd reply, it's not a mystery, it's overt policy.

  170.  @DM-dk7js  Old family doctor of ours once said: "The less crap you have injected the better." No question vaccines are a great thing in general but it's almost certain to do more harm than good to a young child, they all but never get a bad case of Covid and some will react badly to the stab. More to the point--Leftists leaning toward Communism don't believe in individual ownership of anything including your children ....not yours they belong to the collective, the village. They balk at parents even examining their kids school curriculum which often alarms parents.
    4
  171. 80% Yes, no surprise, lol.

  172. I'm so out of touch with sports didn't know who he was, also not religious but I'm impressed and encouraged that real men still exist.

  173. Mr. T is off-putting, I don't dig his "Desanctamonious" type shit, but results rule, I'll take him and relish at the mental breakdown from the Left. lol.
    4
  174. I'm entrenched in farther NorCali and can't bring self to separate from the natural landscape. Loath flatlands and big part of my 'soul' resides in high Sierra wilderness, I don't suffer the near the worst of it which is urban. IDK if it can be turned around anytime soon with those of most like mind to me fleeing.
    4
  175.  @JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist  I remember when the farther Left stood for "Question Authority", a stock hippy slogan, and free expression. How things have changed.
    4
  176.  @JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist  Yeah that's the fundamental of it all. That Trump's account is even controversial speaks volumes. I don't love him either but that's entirely irrelevant.
    4

Many of the rest of us just want to be left alone but we can't afford to be apolitical any more, if we ever could.

Emotions are enemy of progress, don't care about 'told you sos', only moving forward BETTER. I was wrong about plenty of things politics over the yrs, we are all wrong all the time, in some ways, goal is to personally be less wrong first. I get it if you were ostracized in certain circles, sometimes unforgivable bc fam, friends, associates showed colors impossible to respect or trust. Cancel them if they can't redeem themselves.

  245.  @therightway2130  Exactly. I simply took longer than most would find acceptable, if I got a bit burned out, stressing over low funds I'd take a semester off to focus on my itty bitty contracting biz, build up savings and naturally worked while taking classes, often nights. I was out of town for 2nd week and half of one semester on a job, I had my calculus and physics books in cab of truck and would take ten to study a few paragraphs and think about them while doing less mentally demanding tasks to not fall behind. It all worked out, never even thought about loans or asking for money from home tho my folks could have easily assisted.

  246.  @mattstanford9673  At the very least it's extreme dereliction of duty. Did he know the full extent of it? Probably not, even that is not excusable. He was the darn CEO.
    2
  247. No question he's going to overhaul Twitter and welcome all political views, etc. He'll have to make it a viable business so that it's self sustaining but he's never been motivated by personal wealth, money is just a measure of providing more value than your consuming. In a few yrs Elon will probably separate from Twitter after it's on firm footing with a free expression mission statement as the primary goal, just as he's done with SpaceX and Tesla, both built with a clear mission to execute on. I'm likely going Starlink too one of these days, glad you like it.
    2
  248. Almost 100% certain Elon's taking it over, 100% certain he'll completely overhaul it when he does. He doesn't get this far into something without seeing it thru.

  249.  @greggb1416  He has some of the best brains, most successful, principled and determined ppl possible in his inner circle. Why I'm more optimistic than I've ever been on the DC front. This time will be different, how it plays out remains to be seen but significant changes are a commin.

    2
  275. Yes and they both passionately want the same things within the scope of Elon's role. Both are adult enough to bounce ideas around, compromise if necessary, and keep focused on the big picture. Conflict will be from the rest of DC.
    2
  276. It will continue. Just as heads rolled for insidious supression of "What is a Woman", this CEO tows Elon's line or get's the boot. Remember all the fretting late last yr over various Twit 2.0 fears none of which amounted to squat? That said IDK why he picked her.
    2

  278.  @myronschabe  (F'n YT, breaking it up hoping to get a post to stick) My interpretation is Sam expects us to bow down to his superior intellect due to his prior achievements and credentials. We will NOT. Suddenly argument from authority is a valid logical tact? NOPE.

  298. Similar here. I was expecting to get the vax but waited to get some insight as it was untested, then the mandates came down which triggered personal mandate of noncompliance. Got mild case for a couple days, did nothing to combat it, didn't miss work. My fave grocery store, Trader Joes, became aggressive about the rules so I quit them for 18 months. Understand they were probably catering to their Leftist customer base but that ain't ME. I patronized the lenient stores.

I remember some of the hyperbolic fear mongering about Reagan--"He's a dumb cowboy likely to start WW3." Etc. So it's not new. And Arnold S. "turned out to be better than expected." Yeah because expectations were set so low by propaganda media. And even Leftists don't have much bad to say about Reagan today. I too favor an "outsider" baring someone like Rand Paul as a viable option.

  309.  @trismaccarran9950  Indeed. I fell for much of the same propaganda you did, have to remind self that others will see it on their own schedule. Still don't particularly like Trump but absolutely support him. Unfortunately--short of abolishing many alphabets, CIA, FBI, DHS, NIH.....it won't be enough. He won't likely achieve any of that but he may hold the line at least. We need something like the FBI and certainly some significant minority, at least, of operatives are good valuable ppl, they can be salvaged for a replacement agency. (as an example) But it's too far gone at this point to just reform it, so it seems.

My question/challenge: can we incentivize via government for even more ppl to move, the wisdom of doing so, plus the cost. WHY do you seem fixated on getting Americans to leave? Is YOUR TRIBE try'n to take over?? My family has been almost 'everywhere' (continent or major country) other than Antarctica, but a close friend went there 32X....China, USSR (right during the revolution by chance), Japan, W. Euro, N. Africa, Mex, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil many times, India, Nepal, Australia, Turkey....off the top of my head.

  314.  @TimBitts649  Sounds like you've been well indoctrinated in leftist BS. I started off busted broke, built my own biz the hard way on a shoe string via earnings from an underground mine where I worked endless double shifts as a laborer/mechanic, and eventually flourished, you presumptuous prick. How are you going to "encourage" Americans to go to a third world country to work for peanuts? Pure fantasy without MY tax dollars subsiding it and I'm not going to happy with more such ill-considered socialism squandering my hard earned wealth.
    1
  315.  @TimBitts649  Not to be insulting but it's ridiculous to "encourage them to go elsewhere" --and do what? Peddle vegies on the street for $2/day? Why would they have any special value there if they have a degree in something not in demand anywhere? Unfortunately many US universities have become scammers to one degree or another. There has been a 'shortage' of the ppl in the fields mentioned for decades and apparently $200k salaries isn't enough (nor should it be if one doesn't have the passion for it). Yes supply and demand ultimately will balance unless the Left get's it's way. One obvious tactic is simply (as suggested by others) attach a 'green card' to the diplomas of tech field graduates. We educate them here and send them back to China or where ever way to often. A tangent: also long term shortage of trades ppl and 6 figures readily available there--we have foolishly stigmatized such jobs for decades in America, for those not controlled by stupid status there is massive opportunities there.

  316. ​ @lauranolastnamegiven3385  My approach is different, for one we are all wrong all the time about some things. VERY smart ppl are as vulnerable to propaganda as the dumbest. Have two sibling professors, tho I haven't talked to them about this in yrs, U can (sadly ironically as it's antithetical to academics to be monolithic) guess which side I expect them to be. My dream convo would be to demonstrate how manipulated we've all been, that they need to completely overhaul their sources of information and be pissed off at being misled. Hell of a stretch given how deep they are likely infected with TDS. Yrs ago called out my sister when she said "I could never respect anyone who votes for T." Pointed out that the rancher's who hired her son she liked so much-- likely based solely on demographics, were Trumpers. Back then I had a little TDS, still makes me cringe a lot tho I support him like no one ever before. He didn't do squat to drain the swamp but he sure revealed the depth and breath of the cesspool. (Vivek Ramaswamy or Rand Paul be my better picks but that's hypothetical) I want a F'n wrecking ball in DC.

  330.  @Islamophobiaisalie  He didn't HAVE to initiate the Fauci tyranny did he?

I don't care what the books say, eggs and sperm are just as ALIVE as a fetus, or a microscopic clump of cells just after fertilization. The issue here is when we apply the morality of an individual human being not if an egg is alive. And a freshly fertilized egg is no more sentient than a skin sample, they are also equally self sufficient, meaning not at all. So YES it's equally rational to apply ethics to every egg and sperm cell as to a freshly fertilized egg.

Eventually to make humans more competitive with AGI via vastly faster 'data transfer' than your thumbs on your phone. "transhumanism"?? beyond the above WTF are you talking about? You are already trannshuman as a Iphone user apparently. Autonomous transport has nothing to do with WEF it's just a natural next step, just as we no longer have elevator operators, except vastly more difficult and more beneficial. Have you seen how bad humans drive!? NO ONE but Musk is doing anything significant toward making humanity multi-planetary, certainly not WEF. And WTH is wrong with expanding humanity? You are far more WEF than Elon, if you think humanity should stay on Earth only....waiting for next inevitable mass extinction event.

  382.  @baldheadnuts  I can't begin to tell you for how long and how many ways he's earned that "faith", it wasn't granted easily for anyone I know but took yrs or decades, sometimes with disconcerting questions amongst all the bullshit endlessly thrown at him from the establishment and opportunistic parasites. Propaganda works! Eventually one understands after a litany of confirming evidence It's OK if you haven't gotten there yet or don't care to bother learning the particulars, just don't project your willful ignorance on everyone else.
    1
  383.  @baldheadnuts  Faith also tends to mean trust without evidence, just semantics, I'll take your intended meaning. For how long and how much do you know about this unique individual Elon? Not long or much apparently. He doesn't give a crap about making money on Twitter, that's laughable ignorance. It's intellectual laziness to pigeonhole anyone based on broad categories like "he's a businessman", just like "he's a billionaire", "white male"....So what? Do you have any idea HOW he got here and from where??
    1
  384. Those of us who have followed him for 15 plus yrs don't need faith, we have a consistent track record of principles and execution to rely on.

  385. He doesn't own it or control it YET, be patient, might be late this yr before he runs it. Then everything will change.

  390. Did you notice what he was up against from the entire establishment for many yrs over Tesla and SpaceX? And endless stream of "Elon's a fraud!" "Tesla will go bankrupt." ....indeed it was near bankrupt many times and many did all they could to destroy the stock and Co. Boeing and Lockheed literally laughed at his notion of landing and reusing rockets, until he reused rockets and cut orbital access cost by 10X. He's quite hardened to it all long ago.
    1
  391. That's probably because you haven't followed him closely for 15 plus yrs like many of us have. He's been consistent for decades, to the point it get's redundant.

  413.  @Ketowski  Life isn't fair, some are born beautiful and brilliant others dumb and ugly. Are U suggesting we should "correct" for that? Life isn't entirely fair, get over it. Yes we should strive to make it more fair but not by cutting down those we envy, most of whom U don't even know, it's childishly presumptuous to assume you'd be happier in their shoes when U have no clue what their struggles are. A smile might represent self disciplined obligation to the world instead of happiness. I loath those who project their struggles as anger to the world, sounds lk you might be one of them. Monopolies are illegal for fundamental reasons, the application of enforcement is flawed, but that's a tangent. Presumptuous seems well ingrained in your mentality, you have NO IDEA where I get my views.

U don't know if he's considering steering into the next concrete overpass abutment to self delete, U don't know anything about him.

  416.  @Ketowski  Ever heard AOC or Elizabeth Warren use "billionaire" as a pejorative? They wouldn't do that if it didn't resonate with a significant chunk of their constituencies.

MANY are infected with the ridiculous notion that one person's gain is another's loss.

And where was the ACLU during shutdown insanity, they used to fight for The Constitution no matter how unpopular. Also bought by the Left I'm told. Leftist open bigotry rivals the KKK today.

  440.  @BruceWing  What was the agreement between spouses in question? It's not up to YOU to decide the nature of someone else's relationship. Open marriages are a thing regardless of your appreciation or respect for such.
    1
  441.  @BruceWing  You need to know exactly what promises were made and what they may have evolved into over time. If there was no deception, if there was permission from all parties, then no ethical violations. I doubt you'd look down on divorcees, they presumably violated vows too, nothing lasts forever. And not all couplings or marriages have exclusivity vows. All the GFs I've had, dozens, never have I explicitly agreed to exclusivity, it may have been assumed, I may have tolerated no less but it's her job to request or require that status and it's up to both of us to immediately disclose "extracurricular" activities if they occur. Simple.

At this point--symbolizing a tool of hysterical Establishment media, as such, the enemy of everything good that matters. Frankly they disgust me, don't even want to look at them, and I normally engage in friendly fashion with everyone around.

He won't abandon Tesla easily but if shareholders don't solidly reaffirm?...gut punch to Elon and could be taken as vote of no confidence. He was ousted as CEO of (Zipp2?) while on his 1st honeymoon, he didn't burn it down he accepted, worked with the team and retained value. NOT stupidly vindictive. He still owned a chunk of his 1st big venture. Smart investors are invested in Elon 1st, Tesla 2nd.

  457.  @om617yota8  I'm no legal expert but the ruling stands as it is pending appeal. Right now we are voting on a dozen Tesla BOD (board of directors) recommendations including moving inc. from corrupt Delaware to TX, and of course reaffirming Elon's compensation pkg. Sadly we don't know how vote will go, passed by wide margin in 2018 but things have changed and some amoral idiots think they are smarter than Elon or this is a referendum on his political views. IF BOD get's the votes then the appeal process is stronger AND, equally crucial, move to TX means we can (presumably) vote compensation for Elon without Marxist judicial interference in the future. But current case must be seen thru in dogshit Delaware.

It was overwhelmingly passed in 2018, but a lot has changed and we don't know which way the vote will go, sadly. If we reaffirm original pay pkg it strengthens case for appeal process. If it fails it's sort of a rejection of Elon as CEO which is tragic for Tesla and the stock. Unfortunately--seems some "investors" (quotes because some are stupid) are amoral enough to make it a vote on Elon's politics, NOT on the sanctity of the contract-a DEAL IS A DEAL, PAY the man!

    1
  536. NatGas much more in the US. But an ICE get's an ave of what?...35MPG? Teslas get around 120MPGe. That's a huge difference and along with other factors makes them some 5X less expensive to operate. Many with homes are or will soon charge off their own roofs.
    1
  537.  @jasper4365  You can get an approximate idea just by comparing purchase price of ICE vs EV cars with otherwise similar specifications. Everything including oil consumption is priced into a new car, EVs are more but not that much more. Tesla's budget is a separate thing, prices of everything go up with oil to some extent. But obviously there is more EV demand with higher gasoline price, that can mean T. will further increase sales cost as they already have persistent excess demand, wait of about 10 months for new buyers.
    1
  538. That difference is made up for in around 30k miles with EV like Model 3/Y getting 120MPGe. And as batteries are recycled the diff will largely go away PLUS EVs (some at least) will be 1M mile cars instead of 200k/250k mile cars.

Meanwhile at the FAA their employment opportunities page emphasizes a "safe work environment" where everyone is coddled, zero mention of a mission to maintain flight safety.

  594. Never identified as either Left or Right but for the 1st time in my 44 yrs of eligibility I voted R in every category. Simply anti-Leftist since the terror of authoritarianism swept the World.

  599.  @PamelaRoss-qh6jh  I grow my own as much as possible, apples to avocadoes, pecans, blue berries, citrus, artichokes....on and on. I know exactly what goes into all of it obviously, including rock dust for micronutrients lacking in commercial grown.

  600.  @DennisDavies-Wilson  Around 1971, small town America, high school teacher publicly grilled and fired for Anti-Vietnam War and not Christian. Was asked if he believed in God. Dad spoke up from peanut gallery: "That's none of your goddamned business."

  603.  @garycarpenter2932  DeSantis was man enough to resist the insane pressure to lockdown and all the rest, Trump did the opposite. Why? I'm happy with what T. did on regulation reductions, telling Putin he'd bomb Moscow if he invaded Ukraine (cringy as that was, beats real war). Exposing the swamp, etc. NO EXCUSE for Fauci and lockdowns, etc.

  606. Progressives have always been racist, the subtext: "Those poor disadvantaged blacks need our help, they are too dumb to help themselves!"

  607. To be expected to have such debates, only the modern Left is apparently all in lockstep, that's not real between thinking individuals. We can agree on fundamental goals and ideals and still have healthy disagreements on details of how to get there.

  608.  @billnelson3405  Taking in top talent clearly creates incredible wealth, investment and employment opportunities. National security too. Elon, Vivek and many others are proof of that.
