Depending on who's crunching the numbers, Musk is worth around $400 billion (because crime, does, in fact, pay). I don't think he's really worried about Trump's empty threat.

The Galaxy Nazi's wealth is debt secured on his Tesla shares, it would be extremely easy for TACO to push him underwater financially.  Just revoke all the grants and carbon credits and Tesla's in a death spiral.

The trouble with that is, Trump wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut about. Elon could divest for half the share price and still be unimaginably wealthy. And if Trump went after the companies at that point, Musk could still afford to pull a Trump and tie the orange one up in court until one of them dies or Trump is out of power.

Trump doesn’t hold as many cards in this fight as he thinks he does.

No.  If the shares fall that far, the debt gets margin called and he doesn't have the liquidity to cover his losses.  And after that it's a hot date with MBS's wood chipper.

Fair point, but I still can’t imagine that Elon hasn’t already taken steps to protect himself.

Now Trump is sending the Marines to LA.

This is absolutely insane. The Marines aren't for keeping order while respecting people's civil rights; they're for killing people. That's what they're trained for and that's what they like. This will not end well.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Doechii at BET Awards: “Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's not only insane, it's probably illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act.

He's not disclosing serious health issues, is he?

I have reached the point with Trump that I don't really blame him for all the insanity. He is unstable and spiteful and quite mentally ill.

I am, instead, seething with anger over the highly compensated politicians who are sitting with their thumbs up their butts and not doing a damn thing to stop this shit.

The things going on in LA are just another version of a parade ordered by, and for, Trump's fragile ego to be further stroked.

This is not the America I had been proud of for most of the last seven decades.
