Maybe this is why privatization of government programs and services isn’t a good idea.

Elon came into the US on a student visa. He stayed after his visa expired and became a US citizen. We will know this is serious when Elmo ends up in El Salvador or South Sudan or when a Trump company ends up controlling 51% of all Elon’s companies.

#43 claimed he had authority to revoke anyone’s citizenship, and deport them. You might be right. If Elon ends up enough of a nuisance/embarrassment, he might reenact the Trotsky experience: deported, then have an “accident”. He should probably stay out of multi-story buildings.

This was never my problem, but I think they were pointing fingers my way.
With these videos, click on the white title up top to see it.
This is deep. In that shallow sort of way.
Meanwhile over a dozen children later…
Trump being a bit child like.
Meaningless dribble.
As for that small candle, he just does not want to pay much in taxes.
Remember the seemingly obsessive discussions a few months back around DOGE leadership needing ‚full access‘ to government systems to do good for the country?
Musk has not detailed how he would have gained access to unreleased files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein

- If it were a realized loss it would be newsworthy
- If it triggered margin calls it would be newsworthy

Anybody else notice the absence of our pal Dividends20 in this thread? Curious. Maybe he’s concerned about Elon running out of money or something. Not to worry, he can always fall back on his supremely profitable and growing social media business, Twit, er, X, which I hear is doing really really well, so long as you don’t, you know, hear.
While Twitter (now X) experienced a period of significant growth, particularly during the pandemic, its growth has since slowed considerably, especially after Elon Musk's acquisition.Recent reports suggest a stagnation in daily active users, with only a small increase in users compared to the previous year.Here’s a more detailed look:
Before Musk’s acquisition in October 2022, Twitter enjoyed double-digit growth, adding tens of millions of new users annually.
Since then, user growth has slowed significantly, with some reports indicating a decline or stagnation in daily active users.
While specific numbers fluctuate, estimates place the global daily active user base around 250 million.
The rise of alternative platforms like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodonhas been noted, potentially impacting X’s user base.
Oh poopie! Well, he can fall back on his government contracts for spaceships, as long as whoever is in charge of those contracts is still his friend. Who is that, again?

And, the narrative starts.
“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” he told The New York Times in a phone interview.
But, we are told, white South Africans are “victims of genocide”.

He cut out his space station rocket yesterday. He being Musk with a self inflicted wound.
edit he changed his mind. But did Trump?
Believe it or not our founding fathers in larger part behaved this way. Not specific to these comments but the discussion in the press was of this tenor.
In this morning’s episode of “as the stomach turns”.
Meanwhile, “his nibs”, requires people to come to him and grovel.
