The Roadster reveal and comments thereafter are truly a litmus test between the morons and the non-morons. This is a fascinating social experiment, truly. Nothing exposes morons like nonsensical hate for Tesla.

Bravo! Nobody wants to hear about your political rant, the people are there for you to entertain them and enjoy the music
I am getting lots of incoming questions about the public execution of Nidal Hasan, mostly because I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.
My position is simple: Executions should be public and brutal, not private and medicalized. They are the ultimate example of the state's monopoly on violence, and the only way to keep that from running out of control is to confront voters with the trade they have made every single time, that they might have appropiate confidence or revulsion in the institution.
This is not new thinking. George Washington thought the same. The way we have shifted from hanging to firing squads to doctors quietly injecting chemicals that send our worst gently off to sleep is awful and dystopian, a total short-circuiting of important feedback mechanisms. It makes needless executions more likely, not less so. People who demean this as barbaric or yucky miss the whole point. It doesn't somehow become torture or inhumane (as the UN is suddenly claiming) just because we decline to hide the act behind a curtain.
And then there are those who suggest any revel in the death of those who truly deserve it is an indicator of a broken or diseased mind. To the contrary. It is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order. That it has not been done here in 60 years is an indictment in and of itself.
And that is without even getting into the fact that men were not hung for stealing horse, but that horses may not be stolen.
"I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build his greatness upon his Country’s ruin."
- George Washington, 1778
I stepped out of "Musk," an operatically stupid four-hour hit piece, admiring @elonmusk more than ever before. It's an inadvertant love song to American innovation as told by the dumb losers who build nothing and complain about everything.

SECRETARY RUBIO: “Nationalism” became a dirty word. So we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process we opened our borders, and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.
"Il fallait quelqu'un d'assez riche pour ne dépendre de personne, d'assez fou pour s'y attaquer et d'assez libre pour encaisser la haine qui allait suivre.
Merci Elon."
And thank you, Brivael, so well written.
I had the privilege of speaking with @elonmusk this week.
He shared his vision for satellites that deliver internet to every corner of the world, rockets that capture solar energy in space and send it back to Earth, and even moving data centers off the planet.
The vision is extraordinary. But what sets Elon and his team apart is how they execute -- they find a way to make it happen.
I can’t wait to see where this vision takes us next. 🚀
