Make it make sense.

Tesla arsonist set himself on fire after throwing Molotov cocktailWhack9 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 9:15 amThis is such an infuriatingly stupid ass take. If the head of a company is a piece of shit human being, and said brand is very tightly coupled and associated with that person, then don't expect people to support that company just because it's an American company.
Boycotting has always been a thing. That's capitalism at work.
More extreme scenario: If an American company dumped a bunch of toxic sludge in a community that ended up causing its inhabitants cancer, is wishing for their downfall un-American?
Are these people stupid? Likely no. But the people seeing that tweet and nodding in agreement likely are. Remember: most Americans read at a fifth grade level. Abstract thought is not their forte.
The Pentagon is scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.
Another official said the briefing will be China focused, without providing additional details. A fourth official confirmed Mr. Musk was to be at the Pentagon on Friday, but offered no details.
Providing Mr. Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets would be a dramatic expansion of his already extensive role as an adviser to President Trump and leader of his effort to slash spending and purge the government of people and policies they oppose.

Pentagon war plans, known in military jargon as O-plans or operational plans, are among the military’s most closely guarded secrets. If a foreign country was to learn how the United States planned to fight a war against them, it could reinforce its defenses and address its weaknesses, making the plans far less likely to succeed.

Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

Video Shows Elon Musk Acting Very Strange at Trump Dinner
Between the vacant look on Musk's face and the seemingly languid duration of the spectacle, folks online have suggested that the multi-hyphenate businessman may have been under the influence of ketamine, his drug of choice that's said to have stymied his efforts to get a higher security clearance.
SmartSize of ‘Tesla Takedown’ protest movement continues to grow
Over 1,000 demonstrators filled the street in front of a Tesla dealership Saturday in this Bay Area city synonymous with the free speech movement of the late 1960s, to voice their displeasure with Elon Musk’s efforts to dramatically scale down the federal workforce.
“This whole thing about an unelected person doing so much damage to the federal government... I really wanted to come out,” Esther Hill, 66, a retired former employee of the Environmental Protection Agency, told Yahoo News. “I know how much good is being done by these so-called federal bureaucrats."
A week ago, just 200 people turned out for Berkeley’s “Tesla Takedown” protest, where a Trump supporter brandished a taser at demonstrators before being arrested....
The Tesla dealership locked its doors shortly before noon, as hundreds of protesters, most of whom appeared to be over the age of 55, began gathering on the sidewalk. Soon, they overflowed into the street, carrying signs showing Musk giving what appeared to be a Nazi salute and encouraging people to stop buying Teslas.
A similar scene played out at Tesla protests at 253 locations around the world, a marked increase from the number of demonstrations in previous weeks, organizers said. In the U.S., that meant bigger crowds at dealership demonstrations in places like New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Palm Beach County, Fla., and dozens more.
Protesters gather at a Tesla dealership in Berkeley, Calif.
“If you got a CyberTruck, you’re an a**hole,” Michael Wong, 59, told Yahoo News. “You knew what he was by the time that came out. I know that people bought Teslas for a reason — to be ecologically beneficial — and I don’t begrudge them that, but I think if you’re still buying one and helping to line his pockets then you’re really being unconscionable.”
... Now in their sixth week, the Tesla Takedown protests will give way next week to nationwide demonstrations planned on April 5, titled “Hands Off!” The question is whether any of the protests will grow so large that the Trump administration is unable to ignore them.
“It’s definitely bigger today than it has been,” Wong said of Saturday’s rally, adding that he is frustrated that “Congress is giving away their power willingly.” ...
GoOldFartsGo!I attended 2 Tesla Takedown protests. One generation showed up more than others.
... I noticed that the crowds in Ann Arbor and Troy were primarily people over the age of 65, white, and retired from jobs that depended on public funding as teachers, professors at local universities, and social workers.
They leaned left on the political spectrum. Some described themselves as "anti-Trump" or "anti-Republican" or "pro-Democracy."
Others said they'd shifted from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party in their younger years. As appalled as they were with the current administration, though, I noticed they were also disillusioned with the Democrats.
"I'm also not too pleased with our Democrats," said 77-year-old James Morse, who was protesting in Ann Arbor as a member of Indivisible, a grassroots organization for progressive causes that helped mobilize several protesters on Saturday. "We need to put more pressure on them because this is a very unusual situation. It's not normal and we need to resist in every way we can."
Moderate voters also took issue with the new administration. "Republicans have always been reasonable, and now they just seem unreasonable," 68-year-old Margaret Bialecki told me....
Margaret Bialecki, 68, a protester in Ann Arbor, said Republicans had always been reasonable — until now.
I'm not sure if a defense mounted by Dumb Tucker helps or hurts. Maybe Elon would prefer a different topic altogether.Jesse Watters Shares Creepy 'Deep Dive' On Elon Musk's Ex-Girlfriends
The Fox News host appeared affronted about comments from comedian Bill Burr, who had joked about Musk's inability "to talk to hot women."
Fox News host Jesse Watters is here to defend the sex appeal of the world’s richest man.
The conservative pundit declared on Friday’s edition of “The Five” that Elon Musk “never had a problem with getting girls,” rebutting jokes made by comedian Bill Burr about the Department of Government Efficiency head.
“He said Musk and his DOGE boys were nerds who couldn’t get girls when they were young,” Watters said Friday. “Now, I went and did a deep dive on the girls they were getting. Musk’s girlfriend in college was very pretty. Very pretty.” ...
Yeah, his ego will allow for that.Vrede too wrote: ↑Thu Apr 24, 2025 8:37 amIt's adorable that Musk thinks that by devoting more time to Tesla he can turn its fortunes around. That ship done sailed. In reality the best and perhaps only thing he can do for Tesla is to divorce himself from it. People are going to remember the havoc he caused and will suffer from it for years. The divorce must be very public, will involve complete divestment, and should be accompanied by an ad campaign announcing the 'New Tesla'. It's the only hope for the company.
