Elon Musk buys Trump's re-election. Trump drops safety regulation and crash reporting requirements for self driving cars and pushes for their mass adoption.

Guys, I'm starting to wonder if there might be any link between those things... But it couldn't possibly be blatant overt corruption. I mean, people wouldn't tolerate such a scandal regardless of political affiliation, right? Right?

Oh right, they became completely desensitized to it.

Sounds just like Musk's infrastructure fantasy. Surely a coincidence.

Sounds a lot like railroads to me.

Trump has never driven himself, so he doesn't understand literally any of the arguments against it. He just sees a way to avoid paying a chauffeur

Man, who are Fox/Musk proposing would pay for the bridge replacement? Do they think the shipping company that destroyed it would pay for the whole thing?
