This is an important point I think. Opposition to Musk isn't based on philosophical or political views. It's between people who know when they're being conned and people who don't. Whether we still have a functioning country after this depends on how many of us fall for the wallet inspector gag
Yeah yeah he’s cringe but can you imagine being dumb enough to fall for this shit? Like oh sure the worlds richest man with billions in government contracts is saying that disability payments are the real scam, he seems legit lol

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

Luigi Mangione posted online about having spondylolisthesis, a spinal condition that can be extremely painful and debilitating. I talked to other people with the disorder about how hard it is to get proper treatment within the U.S. healthcare system:

This place was built it large part by a wave of trans early adopters and it’s a fucking insult that the mods here are letting a deliberate troll like Singal set up shop here to bully and harass them.
This isn’t a hard call, guys. Not at all.

The best revenge is living well, building friendships and family, surrounding yourself with people that care about you and not letting some stupid grievance weigh you down, making your enemy feel silly for even thinking about you, then out of nowhere hit them with your car when they least expect it

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.
It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.
