If you delve deeper into this, there's some weird shit going on. Look up the Musk Foundation webpage for a clue. If I recall correctly, the foundation is 'run' by a lawyer in a strip mall.
Since its filled with $TSLA stock, there's a theory Musk uses the foundation to manipulate the share price.

Yeah...[sigh]
My faith in the electorate is at an all time low, so nothing would surprise me. But with JD Vance, the odds are good because the goods are odd.

Especially during the holidays, as people often get too busy to donate. I had to time my donations this year to ensure I was eligible in December.

Cults *USUALLY* die with their leaders, so I don't see the 'Trump magic' rubbing off on JD Vance. Republicans who won't blame Trump for anything will PROBABLY blame Vance.
I say PROBABLY because who the heck knows what's real anymore.

He's an expert at moving the news cycle.
Granted, he got us to forget he razed the White House by committing literal war crimes. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll stroke out before signing Pete Hegseth's pardon.

I was torn on the game. Its just not my playstyle. But damn if I wasn't emotionally wretched by the pain in Harry's voice when you fail the roll for his karaoke song. But you have to fail the roll. The 'success' is flat and boring.
It's definitely the more Radiohead of the two iterations.

Wouldn't it be something if California proceeds with their redistricting and Texas can't. Afterall, California's isn't race based so probably not illegal.

He looks like me when I see a big scary bug crawling across the floor. He's willfully ignoring what's going on. Perhaps because he's facing his own mortality.
I love that for him.

A different article noted that Republicans in Texas assumed Trump would keep his 2024 gains w/Latinos when they redistricted. And in the redrawing process, they made some reliably Red districts less Red.
Not saying the GOP doesn't succeed, but they're rapidly painting themselves into a corner.

Both the plaintiff and defendant were women though.
And the only person to go to jail over this was a woman as well.

Kind of crazy to see the CSA Alabama up there, which was a British built Confederate ship that raided Union shipping during the Civil War.

The idea is that AI profits will be shared with displaced workers, but they can't even get OpenAI to pay for the copyrighted content their LLMs plagiarize.
That said, Musk may support a UBI, but only because it gives him power over others. Give up all rights and yeah, you might get some crumbs.

These guys can't be real. They're just saying this shit to spark engagement, even if its the worst kind of engagement possible.
I'm not about to go to Nazi app to see the responses, but I'm going to guess they're 99% negative. Even in the depths of Musk's toilet, no one agrees with this.

Now now, companies are requiring their employees use the AI they spent so much money on. That KINDA creates demand. AI parties being similar to Liz Lemon parties.

It was a very Boomer crowd. I'm sure some thought Ozzie did a real life selfie video with Whitney Houston and Bob Marley.
At a separate point he talked about Tina Turner and performed a song they once dueted, but thankfully there was no AI generated Tina strutting around.

There are sects of Christianity that believe God doesn't DO anything. He's not curing your mom's cancer or helping your team win the big game because he's not a genie who grants wishes. You pray for guidance and clarity, not because you get a prize.
