Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

What is he doing there?
He's on a bender
Carrying a sink into Twitter headquarters after he bought it. I honestly don’t even understand the joke. I assume he’s saying he was going to cut everything including the kitchen sink, or let this sink in, but neither is very funny.
The joke was "I just bought twitter, let that sink in."
But it wasn't even his joke, people on then-twitter were repeatedly sending that joke to him
He’s just the worst.
Wasn't he carrying it out? Like after he fired a bunch of people so he could make the joke: "Throwing everything out, even the kitchen sink."
That's how I remember it. I don't really want to look it up since I am already sick of knowing so much about this guy.
He walked in with it.
I'll take your word on it.
The fact that we are having to discuss the brain dead mechanics to even understand his "joke" tells you how fucking stupid and unfunny he is, jokes have a certain flow of logic even "lol so random" jokes function on subvertting ones expectations and breaking the logical followup.
Now story time, when I was 3 or 4 I was trying to figure out how jokes worked because I am just that autistic. As a result of this I was given the overly simple answer of set up and punchline, this resulted in me creating the oh so glorious "What's a ponytail in a dress? A joke" which only makes sense to my younger self. That is still funnier than any joke Musk has ever made.
Also on a vaguely related note when I was trying to figure out slapstick I apparently slammed a metal folding chair into my uncle's back and then poured a bottle of water onto his face, I do not remember this unlike the verbal "joke" all the male boomers that were present at said event remember it though. The wonders of alcohol and heatstroke, which I was suffering from the effects of cause I thought a bottle of hard cider was apple juice.
Oh, wow, that's really not funny.
If it was funny, would space Karen have done it?
I'm a simple person. Let this sink in would be a good enough dad joke for me.
