Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I see two possibilities:
-
Musk finally realized that the main buyers for EVs are more left than right, and is now trying to rescue TSLA from collapse.
-
He’s a drug-addled raging narcissist with poor impulse control and worse judgment who loves being in the headlines.
It’s actually kind of hard to apply Occam’s Razor here.
Edit: Another possibility is that Elmo learned that Trump’s people leaked (heheh) the ketamine bladder damage story to the NYT.
There's no reason both can't be true.
Yeah, I mean, 2 is for sure true, but 1 may or may not be in the mix at this point.
He's not coming back from the Nazi salute thing. I guess in the US there's limited options for electric cars, but in Europe and Australia BYD is eating Tesla's lunch.
I agree. I mean it's a pretty consistent 90 degree nosedive for him and has been for a while lol
Love to see it.
I think 1 would be more accurately phrased that the shareholders have told him that in no uncertain terms.
Yeah, I'm sure that has happened at some point.
What was his next big reveal? That he's not 6' 3" and weighs more than 215 lbs?
But they're both Drake.
That would be in line with what we already know.

COMPLAINT FOR RAPE, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, CRIMINAL SEXUAL ACTS, SEXUAL ABUSE, FORCIBLE TOUCHING, ASSAULT, BATTERY, INTENTIONAL AND RECKLESS INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, DURESS, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, AND DEFAMATION
Plaintiff Jane Doe, proceeding under a pseudonym, brings this action against Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, and alleges that...
I thought we already knew that?
But either way, this is what we need: for the Right to balkanize and start publicly attacking each other. The Democrats are totally ineffectual at this sort of thing and the news will only report on it if the right wing does it anyway.
Edit: I got my wires crossed, we havent seen the epstein files, but we do know he [most likely] raped a 13 year old girl at an Epstein-related function https://www.courthousenews.com/rape-allegations-refiled-against-trump/
This is about as news breaking as Elons drug use. We all know. Bring some fucking proof.
But really, this all probably just more stock manipulation. Tank that Tesla stock before these two have some wild makeup sex.
Somehow I don't think the people who voted for a felon rapist traitor conman are going to care if he fucked some kids.

This is all distraction, while the shitballs in Congress pass the Big Beautiful Bill, which is engineered to destroy what's left of society.
Americans love them a shiny object.
I mean allegedly Elon doesn't like that bill, but we all know it's bc they took out the EV tax credit, not because of the tax cut / impact to the budget. Though he claims its because of the latter.
Hm. Well, before Musk said this, I 110% believed for certain that Trump was in the Epstein files. Now that he's the one who's saying it, I'm...not so sure.
/s, but seriously, this guy lies a lot.
I thought the Musk-Trump feud was political theatre but this sounds like it has actual venom in the words.
Maybe the honeymoon is really over
These guys deserve each other.
We don't though
We know. This isn’t new or news. They were friends. There’s a trump quote about Epstein liking “younger girls” just like Trump.
oh, I thought musk would be in the epstein file too. I thought it was mutually assure destruction. 🤔
Can’t wait till trump hits back with blacked out files showing only Elon’s name
in other news, elon musk claims water is wet
I don't like that Musk is the one 'revealing' this news. It seems like MAGAs opinion has soured enough that he could easily be considered just another part of the 'woke media empire'.
I hope I'm wrong, but this seems like it could be used to fuel misinformation quite easily.
Musk needs to fuck off forever.
Anybody have any idea what they’re trying to hide with this puppet show? Is the big bill getting too much attention or is it something else?
