"Because they are inside a grift bubble, they push for authoritarianism in their own interest, without reckoning with the possibility that their actions can wreck the country. For them, America is a limitless passive resource. ...

The president and vice-president do not know the history of people like themselves, or that of other republics that were needlessly brought down by men of their particular sort."

"They think that the magic of words will always save them, that there will always be a next grift, that no crisis is so great that it cannot be turned to personal profit. This is true right up until the moment when it is not."

This end of the United States is possible, in part, because our president and vice-president think that it is impossible."

"Information flows through platforms owned and controlled and manipulated for their ends by these same men. And shocks to the system are exactly what the disaster surveillance capitalists want."

"I doubt that I have to explain the significance here, but, out of an abundance of caution, let’s go. The world’s richest man had to instruct his in-house AI program to give him the simulation of a woman looking at him and promising that she will always love him."

"It is one of those moments of clarity, of which there are almost too many now. Musk is, and has always been, one of the most pathetic and loneliest individuals. That he is also the wealthiest provides invaluable context."

Lol, the #TeslaTakedown crowd outside the #Tesla Diner in #LosAngeles projected a loop of #Musk sieg heiling. They figured diners should get to watch what they're supporting. Granted, some of them are openly into that shit. But that's the point! You sit down to dine with Nazis, you're a Nazi.

As I said yesterday about some other resistance hijinks, you could put a label on a projector that says "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS."

Picture of the building across from the West Hollywood Tesla Diner. Protesters are projecting a loop of Musk doing his Nazi salute onto the wall.

Text at the bottom reads "We projected Nazi Elon across the street from the Tesla Diner."

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Elon Musk is “one of the only people in the world” who could build Houston’s much-needed tunnel system for flood water mitigation.

But his company, Boring, has never completed a major public project in Texas.

Holy hell. The Truck is such a complete fucking sales disaster that he's getting a corrupt deal with the military to buy them as targets.

THE TESLA TRUCK IS SUCH A COMPLETE FAILURE THAT THEY'RE SELLING THEM TO THE MILITARY AS TARGETS FOR TARGET PRACTICE.

https://fortune.com/2025/08/10/air-force-tesla-cybertruck-relationship-big-tech-pentagon-contract-spending/

No doubt at full price or some shit. Gotta claw those losses back somehow.

eta: It's small numbers in this initial buy. I find "a few" and "two" given as numbers in different articles. But c'mon. This is how it starts, right?
