The day after Musks nazi salute I saw a MY with blue tape over the logos, lol.

I've hated him for 10 years now. If it weren't for their VR headsets I would delete it entirely.

We bought a chevy bolt and equinox. You can pick up a used bolt these days for around $10k. Equinoxes are as low as $35k before incentives...

I'd be like "50 million single payment, cash goes into an offshore bank account thats tax free. And I get my own private island."

Well, Elon IS running the government like a CEO. Clueless, fucking moronic CEO which, lets be honest, most of them are.

Can't wait until they fire half of NASA and then we lose all of our satellite, launch, tracking and deep space capabilities.

Whoops, we abandoned all the astronauts in orbit when we shut down Houston! Guess they're on their own! What do you mean, the ISS is about to crash into Washington DC?!

I thought the federal employees were unionized to some degree, but were still fired? I read something to that effect a week ago but the article didn't go into much detail.

In the great reddit to lemmy migration of 2023, a lot of users complained about the lack of content and engagement on lemmy. A number of lemmy moderators who came from reddit basically said the same thing and that they were working on deploying bots over here.

It looks like they did make some progress as there is a lot more content than there was 2 years ago. However, SOOOOO many niche subs just do not exist over here yet. Including most of my favs.

I am not that interested in linux or computers anymore.

Let me guess. These will be the AI-content subreddits, right?

Tariffs are essentially a shitty sales tax. I've read it described as a way to switch the US federal funding from I come tax to a hidden sales tax.

The revenues will also be much much lower, which is why they need to eliminate every federal bureau.

I think the idea is to let trump continually be the one who escalates, with the hope that the American public notice it's him and not those evil Canadians who are stealing America's trade deficit.
