This gives me no pleasure, but given Elon Musk's history, claims, and behaviors, I can't let Richard's "welfare of the world at heart" line pass without comment.

While watching Elon's rise to greater power (and the fawning of his fans), I started keeping notes. Thread (1)

This is true, I think because they grew up with newspapers and real journalists on the evening news while watching idiots post lies on AOL and CompuServe and could easily compare objective reality to the lies. Gen Z never saw legitimate journalism.

His current VP candidate called him America’s Hitler.

Almost every single one of his prior Cabinet members said he is grossly unqualified and dangerous.

We are a nation of imbeciles. I hate everyone.

WSJ reports that the National Archives museum has removed references to Martin Luther King, Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans uncomfortable https://t.co/CznEIKHGMh
