Four things went for Musk:

  • he was rich
  • he had a passing resemblance to Robert Downey Jr.
  • he ~~made~~ was closely associated with futuristic hardware (we don't seem to value revolutionary software the same way as hardware)
  • he was rich

In all honesty, a lot of solo developers who are directly responsible for the internet as we know it should be getting far more credit than rich ass holes but here we are.

Edit: correct

Gang ties is actually quite genius. Nothing to plant. No evidence required.

It's like Whose Line is it Anyway. The crimes are made up and the evidence doesn't matter.

He wears a fucking diaper. He's shitting his own pants. No way he's flushing toilets.

To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.

The administration is setting things up so their grifters won't get charged.

If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.

Why not just.....go after Dominion Voting Systems?

I know both actions are wrong. But why not just issue an executive order and claw back $2 billion from Dominion?

Sounds like they are saying we have nothing to lose.

I don't see a threat. I see permission.
