You don’t expect Trump to work do you? Meanwhile, Musk probably just catnaps in his office.
I am not a US citizen, nor live in the USA. I have spent, as a tourist, less than two months there in aggregate over multiple trips. Therefore, I don't have any understanding of how USA works, other than what I read and watch (which I don't do very diligently on this subject). Can someone explain to me how the country that was guiding light of the world for most of my life (even if not "perfect" internally ever) has degraded into such a mess? I cannot believe that "Trump just happened". What were the causes that made Trump the strongest president ever? It's not just that GOP has control over all the houses. It has happened before but there was always internal opposition. Different opinions within the same party. But now, it appears that everyone in the GOP doesn't dare to deviate from the trumpist line. How did you guys get there?
If you want to know who really is in charge, all you have to do is check who you're not allowed to criticize.
On a related note, Reddit is banning more subreddits that criticized Musk.
I'm not fond of that aphorism — it's pretty common to ban hate speech, and it's typically used in response to that.
Hate speech towards a wealthy white man in a position of power isnt the kind of hate speech we were worried about 10 years ago
NYT. Ignore and scroll on.
