Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.

Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla's growing controversy after Musk's far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.

Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.

Despite his efforts, Tesla's collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.

"linked critics to jeffery epstein". from a normal shitty guy that would just mean he was saying 'everyone talking shit about me is also shit'. but he's not a normal shitty guy. he's a delusional solipsistic narcissist who cannot imagine anything but himself and has a larger share of society by percentage from a larger more materially and population abundant/surplus society than has ever existed before in the history of life on earth. so when he accuses someone, ANYONE of something, ANYTHING; he is admitting that he can at least imagine himself doing it.

which means he has imagined himself doing it. and if he had unlimited money and zero consequences and zero conscience, and was into that, why not make his most fucked up fantasies a reality? and he wouldn't have remembered the guy existed if it wasn't important. so he clearly enjoyed himself. and went back. a lot.

so yes. I can't prove it in court, because the stardards of courts are classist and bullshit and also I'm very high right now, but elon musk definitely fucked a buncha kids. also he totally looks like a pedo. i'd bet a kidney on that, if there were anywhere i trusted for that kind of thing.

He was calling the cave diver a paedo, which was a weird insult at the time. But it much have just been the projecting.

this doesn't apply to anyone, you mouse homogenizing bastard, but when a fascist accuses someone of something; it's always a confession.

I don't doubt Musk fucked kids. Eventually it'll come out, just might be 2100 before we find out lol.
