Elon Musk says the world should have "sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts" because those "kids have no choice." There are no conscripts fighting in Ukraine. They are all well paid contract soldiers who volunteered and their average age is 38 years old.

Just now - Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said Tesla's goal is to "take over any kind of transportation." CEO Elon Musk said he predicts, barring regulation and protectionism, "Tesla will end up doing a majority of all passenger miles on Earth in any country where it is allowed to operate freely."

I think they'd rather own Fartcoin, a much more ethical and better longterm prospect

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

Yes fine apart from the illegal invasion, child trafficking, rape, bombing of schools, warcrimes, etc. Very similar to his own history - probably why he sees nothing wrong with it

Trump on Ossoff: "I don't think he's a good looking man. I actually think Mike Collins is a good looking man. And he's all man. I'm not sure about Ossoff. And I think Rick Jackson is a beautiful-looking guy."

Sen. Ossoff: "Congress is full of congressmen's sons who are only in Congress because their daddies were congressmen, just like Mike Collins, who are perfectly happy to send other people's children to die in a war. How is this war a success, Mike?"

If you have seriously used the name "Department of War" or "Secretary of War" you are an absolute bozo, you deserve every misfortune that befalls you for insisting on gently cupping the balls like this

Ok but Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war on day one so: A) Prices are high because of Iran - Trump to blame B) Prices are high because Russia-Ukraine war still going - Trump to blame Thanks for the clarification Doug.

Burgum blames Ukraine for "taking about 2 million barrels of day of diesel production off the market" and says "that's one of the things that's putting pressure on the market"

A reminder of the sort of society Larry and David Ellison want to build in America. And with the acquisition of Warner Bros/CNN, they'll be well on their way.

Vance: "A middle aged woman who I think had been drinking…She said, 'I just love you and Byron Donalds.'…And she says, 'Are you guys related?' And I say, and maybe I've been in politics too long, ladies and gentlemen, without skipping a beat, I said, 'Yes, he's my second cousin.'"

What if we made a version of 'the real house wives' series but with politics streamers?

To get a sense of how alien and otherworldly the entire politics streamer universe is: This is a real, unedited screenshot from a Destiny stream. This is him reacting to a video of Hasan, reacting to a video of him, reacting to a different video of Hasan. (The 4hr YouTube version has 250K views.)
