    Which drugs? Like how some world leaders are supposedly coke addicts, but that’s never true, but *this *is?

    Elon is getting the media to downplay his naziism by letting everybody know that the drugs made him do it. 30 days in rehab and BOOM those chiseled trucks will start selling again.

      Elon never needed the media to downplay anything.

      the media wanted Donald Trump and his band of misfits in the White House.

      I’m 41, I can’t remember a time when the media wasn’t carrying Trumps water.

        The reporting on Trump and the current batch of Republicans is God awful.

        I mean you have an entire political party touting the need for “fiscal responsibility” release a budget that increases the deficit?! How are they not being ridiculed for it?

      No one’s buying those things ever. Maybe if dumb emerald boy managed to somehow recover his image from being a nazi the cars would sell again. But the trucks fucking suck shit on literally every metric. He produced the Homer and he’s gonna tank the company with it.

        I live in rural Canada. It’s truck country. Like, every second vehicle. No one here would have been caught dead in a cyber truck BEFORE his shenanigans. I remember showing my family the concept photos and they reacted, poorly. There is no fucking way those sales go up.

          I’m 100% certain that people who actually use trucks for their intended purpose were not the target demographic – it was rich kids who wanted a cool tech toy, while also playing dressup with the “labourer” aesthetic.

            Yep. Monied tech bros from the bay area & etc was always the target demographic. It was never expected to sell to actual workers.

            Unfortunately it seems the overlap between nazis and tech bros wasn’t as high as he thought

        I’m not sure why they haven’t started stripping these things for parts yet. I can’t imagine anyone at the company expects to move the current stock

    So Trump already knew he was a drug addict, and gave him the keys to our critical infrastructure.

    You know once an elected official violates their oath of office, they no longer hold it…

      The White House pharmacy was a full blown drug hub during his first term. I don’t think that’s why different now.

      Tough to say. He’ll need never livers and kidneys no matter how good the intermediate care is. Not saying buying a healthy young person for spare parts isn’t beyond him.

      You’ll know he’s grokked how badly he’s fucked his body once he starts up an organ printing/regeneration company. Which I guarantee he will, assuming by his calculation he figures out the reality of his situation in time. If he finds out late…? A bunch of Ugrher people are going to be getting blood tests and one of them is going to disappear along with any records they ever existed at all.

        This is the man going around using his own child as a human shield. He might intend to harvest organs from his own children. Somehow a new low, despite also selectively making sure all his children are AMAB.

        He’ll buy a company that does work in a related field. Or perhaps neural link will suddenly become more active in other organs, and he’ll dump money into that.

        The neural link idea is that he’ll eventually not need a body anyway. It’s a transhumanism thing. Have fun with that rabbit hole.

          He may try to take over one of the companies developing CRISPR technology to grow himself new organs… or just buy some from a shady body parts dealer in the 3rd world and claim that he had them grown using CRISPR… (lie like he always does) and make big promises on how you will be able to special order your cure at a kiosk in 2 years.

        Yes , sometimes the hubris that comes with extreme wealth, combine with the access it gives you and freedom from consequences. The drugs don’t care. They’ll destroy him. He’s a horrible person but I assume some of the awful decisions are drug related.

        Interestingly, Hitler was pretty much constantly high at the end of the war. But he did write his manifesto while in jail, so he was not evil because he was on drugs, he just happened to be evil and then started drugs. Might explain some of the more stupid late war decisions.

      As someone who infrequently enjoys recreational drugs, I disagree. There is a difference between a glass of wine on Friday evening and horse tranquilizer every morning.

        He will die to bladder cancer or renal failure if his consumption of K continues.

        His k cramps must be wild.

      More like “Elong outlived his meger usefulness and Trump booted him like he always meant to.” Trump has long disliked Elonga, and as soon as Elongat showed any signs of acting independently, he was doomed. He was kicked out for the same reason McCarthy was replaced by a nobody like Johnson, the same reason a weakling like Pence was needed for VP. There’s just no room on it for anybody with independent power; only the king can sail.

      The ship is far from sinking, and not recognizing that we’re stuck with Trump until he dies is wishful thinking.
