That money he invested in Trump's election sure is paying off. What a garbage heap.

I am waiting to see Maga reaction on this and what Elon's fanbase does.

Ahsan, we both know it’s just going to be completely glossing over what’s in front of their faces and wondering when THEY can get their own armored teslas.

It’s just so…ham fisted. You know what I mean?

I see that there is a faction of MAGA who are feeling betrayed, or maybe I am seeing a mirage on social media 😆.

Maybe that’s not fair. Maybe people are starting to wake up to just how ridiculously corrupt this is.

Let's hope they stay awake, and don't curiously lose their voting rights, until the '26 elections. There's going to be a huge mess to clean up, and it will take a legislature with, um, balls to do it.

"You will never have to bother with voting again!"

I don't know if you would remember this, but there was a song which I think was a Paul Butterfield song, and it began with LBJ saying something. What followed immediately was audience laughter. That's how I feel about every word that comes out of Donnie's mouth. They're all foolish and dimwitted nonsense, with a sometimes generous sprinkling of malaprops. Even Donnie's idiotic comment that you quoted will evaporate.

But he’s rooting out the corruption!! 🤪

Insane.

The Ospreys are dangerous enough. Our troops deserve better.

That is what politicians do. Help their cronies. You scratch my back and I will scratch your back.

Tesla's are for folks that want to give their $$s to Muskrat. But never me. So many other good options to buying EV models then feeding Muskrat.

The only good thing that could come from this is massive recruitment of Musk's tech serfs into the military, where their dependence on his trash vehicles will introduce them to life as an impoverished disabled person afterwards - if they survive at all. I hope China turns his mega-plant just built there into a fireworks display. My imagination is my salvation because reality bites.

Your imagination is a really good part of reality actually. But I hear you.

One car and 950 charging stations for each overseas military base.

I wonder if there were any other vehicle mfgrs that might have a complaint.

1976 was the first year in US history that the greatest part of the GDP went into the hands of the upper class. That's precisely when we all became slaves to the corporate capitalist oligarch fascists.

Rubber stamp "OK", please.

Isn't this latest Leon Smuk ploy called "conflict of interest?" And how can you make an EV even heavier? Oh, yes, add armor!

Walter Kirn loves this.
