Bullshit is all I can come up with.
Can anyone think of a subject Elon Musk is a leading expert in? This is a serious question, and I’m looking for serious answers—e.g. a report in which multiple acknowledged (non-Musk-affiliated) experts say, he’s one of the best in this area.

As a Musk biographer I’m coming up empty, here.

Anyone?

Here is a good one to follow folks. Kirk Bangstad is the owner of the Minocqua Brewing Company in a small northern town in WI. Local officials have been trying to shut his business down since he hung a Biden sign up in 2020. You can read his story on this page. Would greatly appreciate the support.

Here’s an update on how our owner Kirk is fighting back angainst being jailed for criminal defamation, and how this type of thing is gonna happen more and more often under a Trump administration.

Yup.

lol what consequences? Ooooo my feefees are soooo hurt that I got felon added to my name! boohoo I'm still gonna be president and do my best to destroy democracy and I know MSM is here to do their best to help me out! Ain't life great!? F MSM, tuned out a long while ago, all are worthless.
I think people who are focusing on Trump not facing jailtime or fines or some other real punishment are missing it. Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg and a New York jury have accomplished the seemingly impossible: they forced Donald Trump for the first time in his life to face consequences. And stigma.

I wrote this piece a little over a year ago, analyzing the purpose of Trump’s attacks on the military. I noted that subverting the armed forces from the inside out would require undermining (or eliminating) its diversity, professionalization, and loyalty open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Garland had ties to kushner after all. I do not understand the Democratic desire to be seen as bi-partisan when such a thing hasn't existed for decades. #ThanksForNothingGarland
Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

What the fuck!!!

Georgia officials have dismissed all members of the state committee charged with investigating the deaths of pregnant women because ProPublica obtained internal reports detailing the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller?!?
