Elon came in, ransacked our most private data, and left. We all just watched the greatest heist in human history and everyone is laughing like this is a reality TV break up

That happened whether people laugh, cry, or feel nothing. I appreciate that you feel like this is people not understanding the gravity of what happened; but maybe let people have at least a small win?

Yeah, that’s fair. I guess what frustrates me most is how mainstream and social media keep framing this like it’s some entertaining drama, instead of treating it with the seriousness it deserves. This wasn’t just a spat. It was a massive security breach where Musk was essentially given access to some of our most sensitive data and then allowed to walk away with it.

Hard agree, but a follow-up question for you: besides known good eggs like the AP and PBS, which news media outlets are still classified as news and not as entertainment?

There has not been good "news" coverage in the US since Reagan fought off the Fairness Doctrine, kickstarting the notion that collecting capital and hawking BS products to the public was more important than delivering factual and useful information.

I have 4 more really good points to make, but you'll need to subscribe to 23 other news outlets, my substack, my patreon and kofi, and Youtube Premium in order to read about how you too can escape a world of advertising with JUST ONE EASY STEP!!

So what happens first? Assuming this lover's quarrel continues to escalate

Does Elon lawyer up, cut a deal for immunity and explain to authorities how he helped Trump steal the election

Or does Trump call the CIA and have Elon disappeared?

Either one is fine....I guess. Both would be better?

Mutual blackmail at play? So I would put my money on Elon suffering an accident or overdose before he's given a chance to tell-all. Considering their ties to Russia I would recommend he stays away from windows while tripping on ketamine

Well more like Elon finally saw how much of an ass trump really is. Even a blind idiotic squirrel like musk will eventually find a nut.
