You mean when Trump start rounding them up, they’ll beg for “someone” to “do something” about it!

You mean a Luigi? That’s the only justice system you have for the powerful right now.

Yeah, he’s more likely to decide he was chosen by God for a mission, botch it while claiming a tremendous success, and declare he has a guaranteed spot at the right of God, if not as his successor.

All of these overrich believers will stretch their beliefs with no limit until they encompass their whole life and actions. They’re “chosen”.

What happened to the sanctions if Russia didn’t agree to a ceasefire?

TACO

Technically that won’t be a baseless conspiracy theory though. Just not “the liberals”, and not hiding “the truth”.

Do the dems really want these released or is it just a pretend game from both sides?

Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it’s non working code. Great training material!

I’m joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t think that through…

Yeah, that’s what the rest of us try to convince ourself so that we can cope with it. That or the idea that these people must sleep very poorly thinking about what they’ve done, while we’re actually the ones who have poor sleep thinking about what they’ve done and feeling powerless.

What could they possiply contain that may harm him and we’ve not heard yet?

He’s an idiot? Corruption? Sexual assault? Dictator’s dreams? Nazi ideas?

At this stage, there is nothing that could deterr his cult, and he already doesn’t care about his perception out of the cult.

Trump’s Nemesis? That would be a socialist. A very decent and articulated socialist.

I doubt Elon will go to jail for being an asshole. Tesla may get in troubles for the promises of unsupervised FSD, but that’s not the issue here.

I was more thinking about the brand’s reputation recovery.

Some of them may quietly have the same political view as him, and at worse, most of them don’t care about his views. Their failure to understand the rest of the world does mind just show that they’re not half as smart as they think, and they’re totally disconnected from the normal world.

And at these times, they could claim “Nazism is dead”. The issue with Musk and Tesla is nazis are not going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe they should hire VW’s CEO, actually. He managed to get the brand past the diesel-gate.

Sooner or later, the stock price will tank. It’s actually quite something that it is still that high, if anyone needed anymore proof that stock investors are not smarter than average Joe.

But Tesla sales are crashing worldwide, not just because of the brand, but because competition has caught up and is now getting ahead. Robo-taxis are going to compete with players that are years ahead on self-driving and safety concerns are going to force Tesla to trim down their price (assuming they manage to no longer need their “safety monitors”, in which cas they will just not happen).

Humanoid robots are a tool that needs to find a use justifying its price (and there again, we might see competition from China…).

What’s left??

Don’t you know that he’s a genius and none of what he says or does can have any bad consequence? If it’s not because of him, it must be because of someone else. Oh, BTW: he also fired a manager in Tesla who voiced against him damaging the brand name.

None of these people know anything about anything. Only Elon knows!!

Go explain that to Iran’s leaders. Good luck!

On 9/11, the message sent was very unclear (“we hate you for your overall activity in the middle-east and the rest of the world” and/or “death to America”).

This time, it may be very clear: “that’s retaliation for the unjustified bombing of our country” (though Iran had its share of chanting “death to America”, so yes, YMMV).

I agree with you, you know: more deaths will lead to more retaliations, from both sides. Someone has to act like a true adult responsible pragmatic leader now. But there is none in power on either side.

Or Ukraine’s civilians. Or the 500k–2M dead civilians during the war against Iraq. Oh, sorry, those were “collateral”…

Usually citizens are not considered fair targets. They’re just targeted all the same.

Iran does not have the military capabilities to fight off Israel, let alone the USA. So they will most likely use terrorist attacks, targeting civilians, because that’s the best hope they have to end the war: when the people back home get serious about ending it as they’re taking losses.

Unfortunately, and as usual, the very important people who decide to keep going or stop are also the least likely to see their life at risk. And in this case, they also happen to not give a flying fuck about civilians lives.

To be frank, if I was them, I would do everything to get a nuke before the crazies in Israel and the USA decide to wipe out Iran. So Iran trying to get it makes perfect sense.

That’s why France 's De Gaulle wanted its own bomb in the first place: he was convinced the US would not risk mutual annihilation if the USSR really invaded western Europe. See also how shy the west has been shy with supplying Ukraine because Russia kept threatening to use a nuke in the area.

France nuke’s umbrella for Greenland would be but a PR op only. Neither Macron nor anyone after him would ever nuke the US over Greenland.

But so you know well that a party committing to change the voting system will have a change of heart after realizing the current system brought them to power. (I’m in Canada too ;) ).
