Por que no los dos?

BYE FELICIA!

sweet sweet sound!!!

Indeed

For sure I can agree didn’t see musk coming. But I for sure saw them doing all the project 2025 things they said they weren’t going to do. You know how I knew they were lying? 🤦

yeah, i had a sense it would get like this, “they learned their lessons; there’s no more adults in the room; they are vengeful” but I won’t pretend I truly appreciated the full scope of the damage that would be attempted, no less accomplished. And as you said, not even 100 days. I have a lot of friends and colleagues who’s jobs have been impacted. Which also means I have some depressing insights into the impacts at some of the agency’s that will inevitably impact the services they provide. It ain’t gonna be pretty if there isn’t a “fix it” phase that follows the current “break things” phase.

Oh I think SpaceNoodle saw the humor as well. They just leaned into it with a sharp edge.

you nailed the difference.

Because before he was kicking out people who, while he might have ‘picked them’, weren’t really ‘his people’ and they stood up to him. Now he has sycophants who suck his orange hole and his only reason to get of them would be when there’s too much pressure and he’s forced to admit he was wrong for picking them.

Two VERY different sets of circumstances.

haha too true!

How long is that in Trusses?

Count this one that never voted for Trump.

D from top to bottom of the ticket

With a huge side helping of mafia style blackmail. They stopped hiding it a long time ago.

[bows] you’re too kind, I do what I can.

I won’t totally disagree. But a lot of employees will lose their jobs and an innovative competitor would leave the market. Maybe a middle ground would be like, a hostile takeover bid that also merged them with Rivian or something. Then a rename to “eXla” just to fuck with Elon :)

In an IDEAL world, Musk will be removed as CEO for both failure to perform (he’s literally not doing his job given that he’s doing all his DOGshitE) and the harm he’s bringing to the brand. No other CEO would be allowed to get away with this.

Then, in a JUST world the stock will stabilize, start to grow again, and everyone will get back on the EV train with Tesla included. While the Muskrat watches from the sidelines like the loser he is.

CAVEAT: only if he also doesn’t still own any more of the stock than he could get owning VTSAX like the rest of us.

You know, I had a gut reaction to your post, “If it’s in the law they have to honor it!”

But then I remembered what timeline we’re in. The one where congress and the courts have abdicated themselves to the Executive Branch. The one where there is nothing to stop the Republicans in congress from making promises, putting them into the budget, Trump flatly denying it (aka Impoundment), and congress and the courts not pushing back.

It can 100% happen and we have the evidence and precedent now to prove it.

I don’t believe you. PROVE IT!!!

You bet your ass it is!
