Check out this cute lil site where I post what I had for lunch →
Some washed-up reality diva uses it to steal babies and ban Muslims →
World’s worst poster turns it into GoFundMe for mass shooters

How do you reconcile laggard Musk (racist, sexist, white supremacist) with futurist Musk?
He moved HQ to TX (oil-run), tells people to vote GOP (oil-run)—it was all a con. A scammer, not a future tech guy. Futurism just has highest # of marks and the highest valuations.

Can you imagine the Patagonia founder going anti-eco? It’s nonsensical, he’s a lifelong activist. Elon, though? Just a scammer.
