Can we revoke his government contracts now?
Nah, just seize his companies
Roll spaceX right into NASA. Give all Tesla patents to the DoT, DoE, and Postal Service.
The postal service can have Twitter too.
Don't weigh the USPS down with that baggage.
The problem is we don't have a federal agency for handling trash removal.
We send most of our trash to China. That's sort of like a federal program.
Sure about that? The local landfill turned into a hilly park after being covered with dirt begs to differ.
Anytime now we are gonna get a sink hole to drop and release a fat load of methane and kill a kid.
Yes, china has recently refused to do it anymore
Edit: I realize the article I linked is like 5 years old. Point is we absolutely did do this for a long time. No idea if we still do.
Just do it. If it's the law, and it's the proper action, it shouldn't be discussion.
If it's discussion, it's not the proper action.
Pick your lane
Maybe he went full retard because he knew he'd need a presidential pardon eventually
A Presidential pardon won't do you any good when you're escorted into a Saudi consulate because you fucked with the bag and Muhammed Bone Sawman is upset.
He didn't fuck with anything. For them it was money well spent. Think of all the things that used to be coordinated and all the information shared on Twitter. That's gone, or at least seriously degraded, that's what they bought.
They are fellow rich people. Losing a few billion of a trillion dollar family when you're also rich is whatever. They'll build it back in a month or less, the Saudi wealth fund is just that large. Twitter probably modified the algorithm to favor certain MBS takes and downplay things they've done which probably counts as worth it enough for them. Same reason they do sportswashing. Making the money off it is just a bonus to preventing western sanctions or interference because of citizen pressure.
Please don't use that word.

I guess we could use "Muskiness" as a special term because anything else is an insult to idiots, fools, mafiosos, and mentally disabled.
Are you saying that because you truly believe Musk has intellectual disability? Or you are joking that he does?
I'm saying it because it's a bigoted word that people shouldn't use. Did you read the link? It explains it quite well.
I did read it. So would it be bigoted to say "that's gay"? Would it depend on context and how you mean it? Just saying, why do we let assholes ruin words for us? What happens when MAGA co-opts "disability" to be bigoted? We will find a different word?
Sorry… you don’t know that using “gay” as a pejorative is bigoted? And don’t you think maybe it isn’t worth hurting the disabled?
Unironically this is my opinion.
He needs to be liquidated. And not in a financial sense.
In a blender?
Preferably.
Elon smoke, don't breathe this.
¿Porque no los dos?
He is insolent
They misspelled “convicted”.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Not a damn thing will happen to him in the US. Laws don’t apply to guys like him here.
Deport Elon.
Wet noodles aren’t as threatening as people seem to think they are.
