Elite dinner co-hosted by entrepreneur David Sacks at his home in the Hollywood Hills
The guest list reportedly included Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken, and Travis Kalanick.
Michael Milken, a financier who Mr Trump pardoned, was in attendance along with Steven Mnuchin
In case anyone was wondering about his star lineup.
Where are all those cops with the punisher logo on their vests when you need them. I'm starting to think they don't actually read punisher comics at all lol.
Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.
Depends on the way it's framed. If you frame it as providing off-grid energy for the unreliable electricity grid provided by the country and less dependence on foreign oil, you can probably sell to the right wing as well.Because fuck the government and fuck foreigners.
The problem is they've mostly now been negatively polarized against non-polluting energy.
I just started a job selling solar. And I was told more right wing leaning people buy more systems if you push the "off grid" option.
Well my Trump voting brother in law has solar and he bitches because it's underperforming but is surrounded by trees and wont trim them so he just goes on bitching that solar is not the answer.
All of them talk like they do but they’re driving 2002 Dodge Ram 2500s between DUIs.
Can we deport this guy yet? He meddles in elections and he wasn't even born here. Everyone accused Obama of being foreign but Musk literally is and is undermining our politics.
I say we just nationalize his shit. This asshat has no business owning Twitter or SpaceX. He's a literal threat to national security.
Kinda glad 5g turned up so I could switch off my starlink.
It's still a net positive for the world relative to the cost of laying fibre to every rural property, but they can use 1-2kW a day which seems unnecessary high, and Elon is problematic.
Nah, sending people into exile for their birthplace or taking part in politics is some middle ages shit. Only the bad guys actually want to go back to that. AFAIK he also has US citizenship (among others).
Also, ideally, foreigners taking part in politics should just give you international talking points. If that threatens your country, some safeguards are off. In that case, those should be fixed, so it's no longer a big deal.
Thankfully that's not how the US works. You don't just get to deport citizens because you don't like them. Exiling "undesirables" is what the bad guys do, not the good ones.
I had to double-check the headline to see which clown because there are more than a few clowns I have to do this for.
I expect nothing less from someone who enjoyed South African apartheid and embraces China's 9-9-6 working conditions.
9am-9pm, 6 days a week.
I'm a 10am-4pm, 4 days a week kind of person myself, however.
It's the same bullshit pushed by anyone exploiting labor for their own gain.
Ultimately, you can't blame predatory psychopaths for being predatory psychopaths. You can only blame those who let them get away with it.
And that's all of us :)
(Oh and when I say let them get away with it, I mean: celebrate them, make them into statues, teach all of our children that only money and power matters and do whatever it takes to become just like them, in exchange for all humanity and dignity we could have had instead)
Unfortunately, you need to add this about all of us supporting them: "buying the cheapest product over buying the fairest produced", therefore comforting them exploiting labor to reduce the cost is what we collectively want.
Eh, to be fair I think a lot of Biden supporters suck too, if not bad as trump supporters.
I saw an article yesterday that the state of Berlin is trying to give away Goebbels villa for free because nobody wants to buy it and the upkeep is expensive.
My very first thought was that if Elon hears of this, he'll jump at the opportunity.
If the world was a just place that dinner party would have spontaneously combusted. Shit was a gathering of techno and corporate feudalists.
I thought it was going to be all the 'BiDeN JeNoSiDez' people from here. Even though they would have been turned away at the door. Well, they would have enjoyed it anyway.
You're a lot angrier at people who don't love genocide than you are at those actually in attendance.
Nope. Evil right-wing Earthkilling nutjobs and those who choose to allow them unfettered free rein are both awful.
Yes, Republicans and centrist Democrats are both awful.
Because they both support genocide.
How do centrist Democrats (who I agree, are awful) give republiQans free rein to do what they want? That doesn’t make sense. Are we just saying words now?
Gorbachev Sings Tractors! Buttocks!
If you think centrist Democrats are ever gonna meaningfully oppose Republicans, you shouldn't be mocking me as being unrealistic.
I mean, you’d have to define “meaningfully” as you’re using it, but centrist Dems oppose republiQan legislation and political moves all the time. You want vote counts or news articles as proof? Some other kind of proof? You’re just wrong.

Sure.
