He's pathetic. He's like a nine-year-old with deep pockets. Kinda reminds me of little Anthony in the Twilight Zone classic "It's a Good Life":
Equally pathetic is the similar simpering attitude of his yes-men.

Musk is using guys like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson to play a big role in the upcoming presidential election, where both will give out their full support to Donald Trump using the Russian propaganda.
Jones has already stolen 1000s of articles from the Kremlin's mouthpiece Russia Today, and RT had no objections to this, as it only helped them to spread their lies about the Western countries.
I mean Jones has been sucking up to the Kremlin like three months ago when he appeared on Vladimir Solovyov's show, in which he compared the US to the 9/11 hijackers. In addition, he said that he lives in an "occupied globalist country," that's being controlled by "oligarchs" like "Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates". According to Jones, these "oligarchs" are "arresting everybody," also stating that "our country is captured."
He's also said that the ICC's charges against Putin for "evacuating children from a war zone," and Trump's arrest happened at the same time because globalists are trying to stop people who obey them.
Jones also denied Russian war crimes and accused the Ukrainians of staging the Bucha massacre. He claimed that most media coming in from Ukraine were in fact staged. He's also promoted the classic vatnik idea that it was NATO that "lured" Russia to invade Ukraine.
So it's going to be like 2016 elections but worse.
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"

I'm imagining a Venn diagram of Elmo fanbois and Trump fanbois and Tucker fanbois and Heartattack Jones fanbois. Those ones in all four bubbles- imagine being stuck in an elevator with them?

Yeah, I wouldn’t call it ‘brilliance’, exactly. More a sort of low animal cunning with an eye for the main chance.

Elmo is desperate for ad revenue. Since Sunday my TL has been overrun with spam bots pimping window de-icer, plastic ball toys, and other such dreck. I spend time in a waiting room yesterday blocking each account pimping the de-icer. 88 accounts blocked in 30 minutes. It was just under every 3rd post in my TL.
Deleted the app today.

Problem for Galaxy Brain is that there's not one single area where he displays brilliance.
