If We All Help, Elon Musk Will Fall Fast and Far In this moment, it seems as if Elon Musk is on top of the world. But if Ed Niedermeyer is right, Musk's empire is a house of cards. We should all help bring it down.

My latest at Substack, regarding the praiseworthy efforts by @niedermeyer.online:

PORTLAND: let's go fuck up Elon Musk's money this weekend!

Meet me at the Tesla store on 4330 S Macadam Ave at 11 am on Saturday.

We have to let our neighbors know that spending even a single dollar with Tesla is unacceptable. No cars, no service, no charging, period. We're done.

I definitely feel less and less interested in Twitter, but I appreciate this because it has the exact vibe I'd use to describe how it feels right now. A man desperate for relevance makes escalating levels of bad decisions in pursuit of the love of a man who lacks empathy or morals

Trump has now appointed the fathers-in-law of both of his daughters to hugely influential government jobs they aren’t qualified for, but something something “Hunter Biden.”

Musk joins Trump and family for Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago | CNN Politics Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a seat at the family table for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago, joining President-elect Donald Trump, Melania Trump and their 18-year-old son Barron, in the latest indicator ...

No doubt it's already been said, and better than I can say it, but how pathetic is it for the father of 11 to be sitting down to a Thanksgiving meal with only one of his children, and when his attention is focused completely on Trump rather than the child?

Trump nominates Kash Patel to serve as FBI director Patel, who will need to be confirmed by the Senate, has a reputation as the ultimate Trump loyalist who has called for a purge of perceived enemies in the FBI and DOJ.

“Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who … helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections” — Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, promising to prosecute journalists who reported accurately on the 2020 election

Trump says he will replace FBI Director Wray with loyalist Kash Patel Trump picked Christopher Wray to lead the FBI in 2017, then soured on him before leaving office. Trump would have to fire Wray — or Wray would have to resign — for Patel to take over the bureau.

Trump FBI pick Kash Patel has publicly mused about jailing journalists whose coverage he dislikes, and he published a list of “deep state” names in a book last year titled “Government Gangsters.”

It feels wonderful to have been welcomed by so many of you here on BlueSky... especially the sticking it to Leon part. 😛

Regular reminder:

When Tesla goes bankrupt, they will end up as the world’s least sustainable & environmentally friendly, highest CO2 per unit, most child/labourintensive, toxic, deadly and fire hazardous lemon wrecks in the history of automotive industry & Ponzi scams!

Cryptocurrency is a scam because real money is backed by the full faith and credit of real countries. Crypto is based on nothing.

No, the solution for that isn't to erode the faith and credit of actual countries. That makes things worse.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

At a friends house and made some tea from a normal name-brand black tea bag and oh my god if this is what you are drinking you need to go to good.store.

Twitter continues to lose millions of users each month. At the same time, Bluesky is growing so fast — currently over 21 million users — that it's racing to get more servers. 🦋

I know it’s crazy. Over at Twitter I would expect a similar but serious article. And then a bunch of replies calling people “retards” and “faggot”. So nice not to be inundated with that hate. I couldn’t even get through a Chicago bears discussion without all of that.

Just fyi the Beaverton is satire if you’re not familiar

That sounds reasonable to me. And a very “un Twitter like “ response. Well done.

Just deactivated X. EVERYTHING was toxic and I was becoming toxic too. Time to detox brother.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Are you guys using the feeds feature on here? I made an NFL starter pack, but would an NFL feed for Sundays also be of interest?

Musk accuses Trump whistleblower Vindman of ‘treason,’ says ‘he will pay’ Elon Musk on Wednesday suggested retired Army Lt. Col Alexander Vindman “committed treason” and “will pay” after the former Trump impeachment witness accused the tech billio…

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...
