Oh they’ll be available in states like California, Oregon, Colorado, Massachusetts, etc. where those state governments are willing to stand up to Mr. Worm-Brain. Where they won’t be available will be the Deep South & other red states.
I’m willing to bet those same states will prohibit reporting on Covid deaths, so there will be no easy way to document that the vaccines work.
But this isn’t a death panel!
(This is removing the funding so they can’t even create a panel.)
Well better that than Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
Somebody probably mentioned that the US bought Alaska for approx. $0.02 per acre. So he likely thinks that meant we paid $12.95 for it, and turning it back over to Russia wouldn’t be a big financial loss.
TIL Musk is a cat. Only 4 more to go!
They did. They wrung their hands & clutched their pearls.
Send them to live in a shack on a farm instead of going to school.
I want him to live long enough to spend time in a prison cell, or watch his family empire crumble around him. His ego deserves no less.

Bets as to how many US citizens get caught up in this, and how many of them get deported without even a hint of due process?
Well they have all been promised since the Reagan era that it would all trickle back down. I’m sure it will start doing that any day now.
It likely also has the best always-on one-way communication link to Qatar that money can buy.
Trump was upset he had to attend the funeral instead of playing golf at one of his clubs. That’s likely all he was thinking about.
So when will they drink the Flavor Aid?
Next up, Trump rounds up migrants to rake up all the leaves in the forests.
What has Musk built?
His wealth comes from daddy’s emerald mine.
He started an online payments platform that didn’t do very well and ultimately merged with PayPal.
He bought his way into Tesla and forced the cofounders out.
He founded SpaceX and gave himself the title of Chief Scientist but all the real work is done by actual rocket scientists and not him.
He’s founded other companies like Starlink & Neuralink with his vast fortune but he largely stays out of their way.
He bought Twitter and has made a mess of it.
And so on…
His plan was to pressure them the way he’s used to pressuring people in his business dealings. The only problem is that countries like Ukraine aren’t just businesses that he can stiff, drag to court, etc.
Not that I’m a Tesla apologist, but keep in mind they are more than just a car company. Also in their portfolio:
Granted, things like robotics are clearly mostly hype at this point, but they have sold & service Megapacks in countries including the US, Canada, and Australia. Their Supercharger network is also seen as a valuable asset given it’s really the only highly reliable nationwide one. Add to that the fact that it’s now an open standard that other EV companies are adopting, and non-Tesla EVs can now charge at many Supercharger stations, and the value of that asset can’t be understated.
I have no idea what the Tesla EV revenue is compared to all this other stuff, but it’s all likely helping boost the value one way or another…
I hope every last union member walks off the job if this happens.
Personally I approve of any publicity that calls out Trump as a loser.
