This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election

Someone should totally try to catfish him, though. Sounds like it wouldn’t be all that challenging

This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election

We so far have:

  1. Trump turning the White House in a Tesla dealership
  2. Trump putting tarrifs on penguins, but not on Russia
  3. US warplans leaked because someone doesn't know how to use his phone
  4. The US becoming a crypto bro.
  5. The US looking to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland while also looking to extort the rest of the fucking planet.
  6. The US stealing the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico.

Just to name a few. We are only 4 months into his term people. I'd say Elon humping everything that moves is just a regular tuesday.

I'm not disagreeing, it is in a lot of ways just a regular Tuesday, but just read this. It is much much crazier than Musk humping everything that moves. https://gizmodo.com/it-certainly-looks-like-elon-musks-legion-of-kids-is-bigger-than-anyone-imagined-2000590199

A lot of that stuff is tragic and hard to believe, and I agree with you that all of it happening at once is completely crazy. But to me this article illustrates a more granular and fundamental level of Elon’s psychology that’s deeply messed up. Though of course I can’t say I’m surprised that he behaves this way behind closed doors

Uhh what? He started in end of January.
Its been 87 days or about 3 months. If we were to say how long he has left in his presidency it wouldn't be wrong to just round up still and say 4 years.

[–] lodion@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

His term has covered 4 months so far... Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr.

Jan 20th to to April 17th

he would probably have his army of handlers and lawyers crush you to death with court documents
