I wonder who he's gonna sue for not buying Teslas

Maybe Elon does something like a "single plaintiff class action for America" lawsuit against consumers?

I'm actually a bit serious. Once Trump's nominees are in place - Trump will control the DOJ, etc and a huge amount of crazy shit will happen at an even faster pace than these first two weeks of Trump 2.0.

the old sketch comedy from the early 90's had this extended but about how some giant Hollywood studios optioned a coupon for buy one get one free socks into a blockbuster summer movie. and nobody gave a shit, so the studio sued all of America to recoup its costs. and won the trial, getting some old, crank judge to sentence all Americans to watch the movie.

it's a good bit, and it's a testament to how wack that show was 30 years ago that it still seems absurd.

but in another 10, I bet it won't be

here's the last half of the bit.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
