Right next to Trump's policy ideas.

I don't know if it was vaccines, but he sent tests to him when we didn't have enough for our own citizens. You know, America First sort of things.

Trump? He actually believes they work. He made sure he got vaccinated. He just knows he can pander with it.

That followed an announcement for their battery business if I'm not mistaken. Which isn't what Musk was trying to pump.

They always ruin good sounding rolls with cucumber.

I think that was a big reason why the stock took a hit. He keeps getting caught faking it, and even his fakes are decades behind Boston Dynamics.

He rolls out the same BS every time the stock needs to be pumped up. The good thing is, it didn't work this time. This unveil actually made the stock drop because they're so far behind.

His appeal to his followers is that he "says it like it is". He wants you to believe he is being literal, so there is no reason to think those statements were hyperbolic. It would be pretty easy to attack his lack of internal consistency if he tried to claim that. Come to think of it, that probably should have been their line of attack the whole time.

But there are plenty of things Trump has literally said that you don't need to reach. He has literally said he wants to be a dictator. He has literally said he wants to use the military against US citizens...

It's absolutely more than 10k. When was the last time you checked school prices in the US? I graduated in 2019 from a state school, and it was just under $5000 a semester (that's not including any dorms or books). Giving government paid for schooling is a hard sell in the US because, on the face of it, it feels like a regressive tax. It feels like giving money to people who are more likely to earn better money in the future and therefore shouldn't get the handout. It's hard to convince people to think about it one step further and realize those educated people who now make more will now pay more in taxes. Education gives great returns on investment for the government.

Creating peace by giving everyone a common enemy. The degree worked.

It doesn't say that's the only thing she used it for...
