I’d say this is a great time for even more advertisers to abandon that platform, but really anyone who would care about this should have left a long time ago.

Brace for a new raft of Sims 4 DLC.

I would bet good money that a part of their madness hinges on the idea that they are not responsible for the operation and actions of the vehicle, they just happen to be sitting in it while it goes places.

Also don’t forget, he buys companies that are already successful and then rewrites their history to say he founded them, and then he tells engineers to do a thing and takes the credit when those engineers figure out how to do it.

I will, however, readily believe that most of the Cybertruck was actually his idea, probably initially drawn in crayon.

It’s almost funny really. Way back when, his goals were commendable. The proliferation of electric cars was an Eco-friendly dream. Tesla battery projects were poised to expand renewable energy source utilization. Basically everything SpaceX was doing with reusable rockets was just really cool to the nerd demographic. All he had to do was shut the fuck up, let the work speak for itself, and people would still like him. Not without black marks on his record, of course, but on balance, people would probably like him.

But no. Elmo couldn’t shut the fuck up, a problem he continues to have at every turn, and people learned who he really is. His electric vehicle baby stopped being the scrappy upstart with teething problems, and started being a manufacturing disaster that had loose production tolerances matched only by the loose tolerances on what qualified as acceptable working conditions. SpaceX decided that cluttering orbit with thousands of disposable satellites was cool, and the environment and astronomy could fuck off. The only stories about Tesla Batteries that followed were about how quickly they lost their capacity and how expensive they were to replace. And Elmo himself bought a globally known communications company, immediately obliterated it’s value, and turned it into a cesspit of literal Nazis. And this is the abridged list.

All Elon Musk had to do was shut the fuck up and people would have liked him. Just goes to show that “Just be yourself” is really shitty advice for some people.

They certainly can, but they really shouldn’t. I can hardly think of anywhere in the country that would be more hostile to trans students.

How fun would it be if the next Texas power grid failure manages to cause serious damage to Apartheid-Baby’s pet project?

3+5=8 is B tier at best, and probably lower. 3+5=8 is just such trash most of the time, with the sole exceptions of those rare cases where it comes in clutch being the only thing that saves it from the actual dumpster.

And that is indeed how the system works in Alaska. You explicitly do not have to rank everyone, and can just pick a single candidate if you want.
