This shareholder says “Bye!” and I’ll buy more when the market is done panicking over his departure.

Depending on the opponent that’s all I need to hear.

Maybe he can join Kristi Noem and get banned from native lands… then get caught flaunting the ban. That shit would be hilarious.

Fuck votes. Let them buy their way out. Once a fair value for the property, infrastructure, and future revenue is determined that value becomes the baseline for negotiations and the auction can begin. Oregon loses some freeloaders, gains a windfall, and becomes even more blue.

If you’ve read “Six Days of War” then this will feel familiar. During that conflict Israel was worried that international outcry would require them to stop making territorial gains so they did all they could as fast as they could to lay claim before that bell rang.

Ah, thanks. I missed that. I guess I need to update my “all these brands are really all owned by XYZ” chart again.

I don’t usually want to open LinkedIn at all. I wonder if they paid MS for the shortcut?

When googling something, append -site:reddit.com

You have to read to the last paragraph to confirm what you already knew: he’s a republican.

Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I’m honest I’d skip the track “Perfect”.

Well stated. I think a lot of corporate action nowadays, especially with any industry connected to the internet, is based on similar logic. “How can we squeeze maximum (profit/market share/growth)? If we go too far, we can always undo it thanks to the internet.”

I wonder how long it’ll be until BMW reintroduces the Heated Seats subscription, or GM changes their legalese to allow them to sell your driving data to 3rd party companies? Those corporate moneygrabs were rolled back due to consumer outrage recently but they’ll probably be back in some form in the next five years.

from Florida - didn’t he even move his “home state” status there officially a couple years back?

He did. Probably for tax purposes. As a native, I would like the states to the north to quit sending us your racist grandparents!

Some days I think the news organizations seek out the shittiest opinions and air them in hopes of getting clicks.

I’d also point out this is a problem of their own making; we’re burnt out with the perpetual election cycle and incessant lack of adult behavior from Congress. I’m extremely dedicated to voting but I’m also fucking tired of it.

Too much naivete to address in this post but I’d certainly omit the word “wise”. Not liking the options is one thing, refusing to vote for the better one when the other is credibly accused of espionage is fucking dumb. Young people can vote or not vote but if someone lectures me about not taking part in a broken system they’re going to get an earful about how they let assholes ruin their lives through inaction. No one’s going to get what they want by doing nothing and you will never get a candidate that fits you 100% (and if you do, you’re in a cult).

Their own words should be up on billboards paid for by the opposition.

Fair, but the choice isn’t hers. If it’s brought up, she has to respond. I kinda want her doctor to be out of state already, because then the GOP would also interfering with interstate commerce.

…and any attempt to bring charges or even discuss charges against a candidate is election interference, according to AR’s lord and master, Trump. She should sue if it happens.

Glad it was her. The Democratic party should repeat this like Giuliani’s “Noun, Verb, 9/11”. Every chance they get into any microphone they see. Donald Trump did this and every republican was his willing ally.

This is an easy test. If Reuters is lying, that means the Model 2 is still in development. Prove that Reuters is lying, Elon. you are uniquely positioned to be able to do that.

Trump is a meta-generator; there are articles critical of the articles critical of his coverage. Anyone could sell ads under a Trump tweet. How many real people joined Truth Social just to follow Trump, and more just to be able to see what the orange bastard spewed? There’s a reason pre-Musk Twitter bent over backwards to keep the shit-flinging orangutan on their platform.

If Musk does nothing, Twitter dies in a slow spiral. He has to do something. What better way than to get a guy who people can’t stop paying attention to, a frontrunner in an election season? The man gets clicks. If he’s already dropped $44B on Twitter, what’s another billion or two to save its life while simultaneously propping up his political choice, triggering the libs, and writing the loss off of his taxes?
