So, what is Elon up to today? - Lux Interior - 02-14-2025

Rather than start 100 threads (which might trigger the snowflakes) let's just put it all in a summary thread.

Here's a start:



Musk calls recipients of Federal aid "Parasites."

Elon is showing that he is really a republican by showing no empathy or self-awareness. He has received $18 million in federal dollars.



Musk has no idea what "Doxxing" is. Or he's just lying (as usual).

Musk say that reporting public tweets is doxxing. (gift link)

Musk doxxes judges daughter.

Again, a total lack of self-awareness. "Do as I say, not as I do." The judge's daughter works for the Department of Education and he complains that that is a conflict of interest.

Consider me triggered.

As in if I had a loaded gun and President Elmo walked in I'd shoot his toes off. Accidentally of course.

He also said he had the net worth of federal employees. Not salary, net worth. How'd he get that?

I am beginning to wonder if he’s found even half of what he says he’s found. Screwing up websites and mass firings isn’t actual proof that his incel minions have broken into secure files.

I remember when all of sudden, we looked up and electric scooters were scattered all over downtown San Francisco like pieces of trash. They did it without any permission at all. If they had sought permission, they would have been denied. Those little dangerious pieces of junk, people riding them with not protections in and out of traffic.

The public liked them so much, and people could make money collecting them, charging them up and re-distributing them back on the street - they couldn't stop them without looking like bad guys. Earlier, they stopped Segways from using the sidewalks and other cities copied that. He sought permission. That guy killed himself.

Ubers taking over cabs without permission. It's just the way to do things now.

On a side note, make every CEO of those "disrupter" companies a Black guy and they would have stopped it. I'm not the biggest rap fan these days, but I like how they can't be stopped.

I hope American learns its lessons. That they let the worst man in the world, next to Trump, run their country. I'm pretty sure they don't like him being perceived to be more powerful than Trump.

Hate that we're always in "Reactionary" mode - especially when we KNOW ahead of time what's going to happen. The Bird scooter example is a perfect one. Now, they're nowhere to be found. But it took several years, lots of accidents - some quite serious, and a waste of tax dollars to rein it all in. This Muskrat invasion will likely be no different.

WTF are you talking about?

Tesla alone receives billions every year in federal aid and subsidies. None of his companies would exist without tax-forgiveness, forgiven loans, bailouts and subsidies.

SpaceX is more like a contractor than a subsidy, as the government is a big customer. Not the same as say, paying farmers to not plant crops.

Settle down, 10k boy.

It was what the article stated. You can read the article to see what the $18MM covered.

Ah! Not "$18 million"...

$18MM... $18 BILLION.

A million here, a billion there - what’s the diff?
