      Which is why it’s so interesting Katie Miller joined him to do pr or whatever, while her husband is still on Trump’s coattails

      I mean was it planned for Elon to be the fall guy from the start or is this a continuation of the messy drama from Trump’s first presidency?

        Neither. The point of this kind of chaos is that it’s exhausting and demoralizing to keep up with for the opponents of a fascist, while the fascist’s supporters are literally too stupid and misinformed to even know it’s happening.

        Trump is an idiot, but this is his one actual skill, and he’s better at it than anyone I’ve ever seen.

          The role of a heel is to get ‘heat,’ which means spurring the crowd to obstreperous hatred, and generally involves cheating and any other manner of socially unacceptable behavior.

          Obstreperous ob•strep•er•ous adjective noisy and difficult to control: the boy is cocky and obstreperous.

          TIL a new word, from wrestling of all things!

    Hell, even I knew he was high as a fucking kite most of the time. It’s obvious from watching him. He has serious drug abuse problems.

      Wasn’t he openly bragging about regular use of Ketamine a few years ago?

      I thought him (and the entire SV “tech bro” scene for that matter) being in drugs was an open secret?

    Elon is getting the media to downplay his naziism by letting everybody know that the drugs made him do it. 30 days in rehab and BOOM those chiseled trucks will start selling again.

        Interestingly, Hitler was pretty much constantly high at the end of the war. But he did write his manifesto while in jail, so he was not evil because he was on drugs, he just happened to be evil and then started drugs. Might explain some of the more stupid late war decisions.

    He can afford health care like you and I have never can, nor will we. His high priced doctors will keep him going past 100.

      Tough to say. He’ll need never livers and kidneys no matter how good the intermediate care is. Not saying buying a healthy young person for spare parts isn’t beyond him.

      You’ll know he’s grokked how badly he’s fucked his body once he starts up an organ printing/regeneration company. Which I guarantee he will, assuming by his calculation he figures out the reality of his situation in time. If he finds out late…? A bunch of Ugrher people are going to be getting blood tests and one of them is going to disappear along with any records they ever existed at all.

        He’ll buy a company that does work in a related field. Or perhaps neural link will suddenly become more active in other organs, and he’ll dump money into that.

        The neural link idea is that he’ll eventually not need a body anyway. It’s a transhumanism thing. Have fun with that rabbit hole.

          He may try to take over one of the companies developing CRISPR technology to grow himself new organs… or just buy some from a shady body parts dealer in the 3rd world and claim that he had them grown using CRISPR… (lie like he always does) and make big promises on how you will be able to special order your cure at a kiosk in 2 years.

    So Trump already knew he was a drug addict, and gave him the keys to our critical infrastructure.

    You know once an elected official violates their oath of office, they no longer hold it…

      As someone who infrequently enjoys recreational drugs, I disagree. There is a difference between a glass of wine on Friday evening and horse tranquilizer every morning.

        He will die to bladder cancer or renal failure if his consumption of K continues.

        His k cramps must be wild.
