Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.

He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.

Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”

Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.

I’m surprised he’s even willing to indicate he cares. Well…cares about anything past his falling stock price and burning swasticars.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Because his ego is the one thing he actually does care about, it's so painfully obvious and pathetic tbh.

That guy hears loving cup and knows he can’t

Run and jump and fish or fight

Or fuck

Dude can’t fuck. lol

His sex organ is mangled after a botched gender affirmation surgery.

I am not making this up.

This is a real story the media reported on until it abruptly went quiet on it.

The stones wrote a song about being a functional man who loved a woman.

Elon is not a functional man.

Only ivf babies for him.

Normally I wouldn’t laugh at impotence but Elon isn’t a human. He deserves no empathy.

Maybe we can focus on the fact that he's a corrupt Nazi who's destroying the USA, instead of unfounded rumours about his penis.

Who shot Hannibal?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

He acts like an absolute ass and expects people to like him. He really is a moron and I've known that for years. I could see through all his bullshit while rest of the world was still cheering his "brilliance".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Self awareness, haven’t seen him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

If his critical thinking is proportional to the way he talks (and I'm not referring to his accent), it makes sense that he doesn't have any clue on the reason why

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Had to check this wasn’t a theonion com

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Why doesn't anybody like me? I don't understand.
Guess I'll have to crawl inside, and I don't know why
I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Love how we dedicate dozens of professional journalist staffers and editors to follow this asshole around with a microphone and queue up to hear him do Trollface into a camera and say "Why you mad, tho?" in a Ketted out South African accent.

American Journalism A#1. Liberty, Whiskey, Sexy. Most informed population on earth.

He suffers from Dunning Kruger

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He's the physical embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect. A walking, (awkwardly) talking nepo-baby man-child who is a self-proclaimed expert in everything despite knowing next to fuck all. He and Trump are like peas in a pod.

Well, not everyone is a Tesla shareholder that he can abuse constantly.

Far out, I despise this idiot so, so much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

May he be struck by... A flying ice cream truck.

Can't see reality through the fantasy of greed
