You’re imagining this being done the way it should be if any of it made sense. Elon is using 19 year-old psycho libertarians to administer this, I have to imagine that the actual federal employees are happy to stand by and watch these kids fuck this entire cockamamie process up. We need our own Department Of Grifting Elon.
What are the chances that they actually know who is working for the government? Like what if we all try to “accept the buyout?”
Try imagining chemical and surgical mutilation of politicians
It would be so amazing if they put a killswitch in the American version to go off shortly after the sale.
It’s not as big as their antistate though
I quickly looked through everybody’s accounts here. Turns out they’re actually all liberals.
Or, in the greatest dad-twist of all, he adds anti-straight stuff to his repertoire too. You can never escape.
But scrolling Instagram never even looks cool
That’s probably a significant factor but from my time in academia I talked to a lot of Chinese people who said it was a major point of pride for China to be able to draw top researchers home from the West.
Something like 30 or 40 years ago China’s research reputation was really poor and their best candidates were all training in the West and then not coming back if they found any success. They’ve been improving that situation for decades and now they’re obviously a top-tier research country.
A lot of their best candidates now train in China but it’s still seen as very prestigious any time they can attract a successful Chinese researcher back from a career in the US. She may or may not have been facing some kind of BS here but most of the time these people are recruited hard and well incentivized. If they want you then they’re probably offering a pretty sweet deal.
Yeah but this is like exhibit #5000 of that. They’re always going to be bad, they might as well be fucking up while they’re doing it.
Meh, it’s a wedge in their coalition. If they openly treat their female soldiers as inferior it sows at least a little dissent in a force that needs to be cohesive.
Whenever someone asks me to eat their ass I go in teeth first and chomping. Be precise with your language or face the fucking consequences.
If you can’t handle my ass when it’s dirty then you don’t deserve my ass when it’s clean discourse in 5, 4, 3, 2, …
It’s such a good character, up there with Tony Soprano in terms of being compelling and sympathetic despite being an unabashed piece of shit at all times.
Boy if I ever happen to become president I’m gonna do sooooooo much shit that’s “for national security.” Apparently it’s a cheat code that means rules don’t apply anymore.
Hey pig, why don’t you just arrest the fire?
He definitely is a super genius mad scientist but he gets credit for omniscience that he absolutely doesn’t possess. In-lore you could say that he (or really his team) figured out how to do it for males first and since he was all gas no brakes he just sent it. Then if someone asks why your super incredible trans-human technology only works on half the people you either admit your shortcoming or you say “it’s because dudes rock obviously” and pretend you meant to do that.
Again though, the reality is that they thought it would be cooler that way and wrote themselves into a corner way before they realized anyone who doesn’t spend their weekends at the comic books store in the 80’s would ever see it.
They’re all psychically connected to one another so they are able to psy-fuck but they can only do it with their brothers and their dads. 40k is basically an Adam Friedland joint.
This is the only motivation to become president that I’ve ever had. I could do a lot of good being allowed to strategically target 50-100k people and illegally render them to an extranational gulag.
