My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Listen, we were all young and stupid once. You can’t judge someone for the thoughtless and provocative posts they made all the way back in September and December of 2024. It was a different time back then.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

People who refuse to keep their cats inside are stubborn enough about it that I doubt the risk of bird flu will love the needle. But please, if you actually care at all about your cat, keep it indoors.
If you won’t keep your cat inside to save birds, and you won’t keep your cat inside to save it from coyotes and bird flu, will you keep your cat inside to save *yourself* from bird flu? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Trump and Musk are shutting down US AID because they do not want to interfere with overseas issues WITH ONE WEIRD EXCEPTION
Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."
