Oh for a contemplative clientele which would loudly declare: We cannot buy any products which are head-quartered in Texas as long as Texas remains a retro-fascist misogynistic patriarchy governed by rich anti-environmentalists: No Teslas from Texas! -sigh-

Christ, what an asshole. He’s such a fucking baby.

I have to wonder if he’s actually expecting anyone to move to a state with an unreliable power grid that’s dismantling human rights, just for (slightly) cheaper houses, or it’s just a matter of him moving and the employees staying behind…

I don’t recall seeing a picture of the diver in Thailand being buddy buddy with Epstein.

Is anyone surprised by Musk being a big ol’ baby who can dish it but not take even a smidge of the same in return? That’s the thing with massively inflated egos: they stretch so thin they puncture incredibly easily.

We joke about “pedo guy” Elon but I personally believe he’s an actual, literal pedophile.

Of course, if he sues me for saying that, I’ll just point out that “actual, literal pedophile” is a slang term where I grew up for “unlikeable fellow.”

If the meritocracy hypothesis were real, maybe we’d have fewer billionaires who were fucking man-babies.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out Musk.

Nothing to see here, just another elitist asshole making the stupid decision to move to a failed state that doesn’t think the government should regulate anything. Good luck the next time their isolated-from-the-national-grid power system fails.

Good riddance.

As far as I know, his arrangement for launches from Vandenburg AFB still holds. Particularly as a Californian now, I have no big problem with that inasmuch as he keeps his riskier development stuff the hell out of there — always a hazmat threat to wildlife, land and nearby waters. (I wonder what assurances Musk and Texas gave to each other when discussing the very risky launches along Texas shores.)

Weird, I thought his name was Melon Husk. Maybe he changed his name like Badolf Twitler’s father, because he was ashamed of the exploitative past of his own.

There have been a lot of companies moving to Texas lately. I somehow doubt mean tweets were involved in most of those decisions. I rather think things like tax policies, and total absence of regulatory enforcement are more likely explanations.

I wish Musk would launch another Tesla (aka yet more space junk from the king of space junk - see: Starlink) with himself behind the wheel.

Melon Husk is so apt, particularly with that transplanted growth covering what would otherwise be a melon-like dome. Elon obviously has a very fragile ego.

Oh, and I’m mostly bald so I’m allowed to say this,
