All day, every day. I'm glad weed is legal now cause it's the only way to survive this nightmare reality.

Yep, one of the only things keeping me going

No. Trump will threaten NASAs contracts with SpaceX and musk will say "sorry daddy".

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

That's the neat part, NASA has already been severely cut by this bill.

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 74 points 2 weeks ago

If Elonazi actually manages to maintain the attention span to see this through over the next 1.5-2yrs, I'm all in and here for it... Popcorn Popcorn

But, the reality side of me holds little to no hope this particular tantrum will last. Especially given Mafia Don Mangolini holds the checkbook for all Elonazi's gov't "income". 🤡 🖕 💩

[–] JailElonMusk@sopuli.xyz 53 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I do not like that Elon Musk.

Never uttered a word I believe or trust.

He has fathered and fled more kids than Nick Cannon.

With a soul and heart more grotesque than Steve Bannon.

When he goes to jail the world will dance.

Until then we can smile as he pisses his pants.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, you don't like Elon? I couldn't tell, @JailElonMusk. 😆

they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth

Win win.

I fucking hate this dude with all my heart but if he actually does it then I'll take a cautious "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" stance.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

The enemy of my enemy who is also my enemy gets shot after one of them kills the other.

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Elon's only concern is those government handouts his companies have been getting.

He doesn't care about the trillions in US debt, people losing health insurance or anything that doesn't affect him.

He's gonna be the first person denaturalized for his "nazi rhetoric" as a theatrical farce of normalizing deporting US citizens. It'll be in a "this is what u dem's asked for" way with tv propagandists showing hand selected tweets calling for musk's deportation from liberal pfp accounts.

[–] MortUS@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's all theater to win over all the rightwing folx that he cultivated during this tour. These are the folx that are gonna be hurt the most from this bill and are just ignorant enough to buy a Tesla out of some weird culty appreciation. Mans trying to salvage a lagging brand.

I want this Nazi FUCK out of my country

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They’re fighting again? I thought they kissed and made up after musk told us that Trump…

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

After musk reaffirmed the facts we already know about trump raping little girls with Epstein?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As much as one can take something like that back

I mean, go ahead Muskrat, but please also go the fuck away.

[–] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ok so wtf?

“Why aren’t you as genocidal as my family!”

Next to….

“I’m trying to fuck my daughter as hard as I can!”

The rest of us….

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Primary with who? They're all MAGA.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I used to think that romance subplots in movies/tv shows are so ridiculous, then I see this divorce on the news. 🤣

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty much my only hope at this point is that these two fuckers will take each other down.

Alright, time to start primarying if you're not totally full of shit, elon.

[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? He threatens to 'primary' members of Congress?

I've tried searching, and that wasn't much help, employees of said member are to quickly start looking for another job. Something happens at the end of term.. And a Time magazine article, which was beyond useless in explaining what it is.

I'm none the wiser.. 🤷

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Congress members in the US are elected in constituencies. For each constituency each party typically fields one candidate. Before the actual election, the parties hold primary elections to determine the candidate for the constituency for that particular party. Pretty much anyone can run in these primaries. Your chance of winning very much depends on the support, i.e. funding you have. If Elmo decides to fund candidates that would challenge the incumbents in the primaries, he could likely unseat quite a few of them on account of having a lot of money. And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.

Agreed, and it's worth noting the Republican party has done the same thing to candidates who weren't far enough to the right.

Thank you. Every time I think the US election system couldn't be any more open to corruption, I'm proven wrong. Learning something new every day.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wait until you hear about super-PACs.

One of the rare times Elon and I are on the same side

The Big Beautiful Bill bans all legislation that regulate AI and more importantly, bans Transgender Healthcare for all but the very rich.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is he going to invent something worse than MAGA? !

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, the X party, most likely 🙄

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Looks like Musk has been hitting the Ketamine again. He's going to be wearing a diaper permanently if he keeps this up. Not that anyone cares about him I guess.
