NAME REMOVED

Actually, this is terrifying.

What on Earth are you rambling on about?

He did not invent Tesla. Two years after the company was invented, Musk decided to bankroll the company, and pushed other investors out. Since you seem to have trouble with the word "invented," I will give you the definition: in·vent /inˈvent/ verb past tense: invented; past participle: invented create or design (something that has not existed before); be the originator of. "he invented an improved form of the steam engine"

\yes, this should worry all Americans, except the 2% of the wealthiest people, and of course MAGA lovers who are brainwashed to think this is a great thing to get rid of Democracy (look no further than this forum).

Yes, turn America into a 3rd World dictatorship and watch the standard of living fall off a cliff!

Looks like she deleted her social media accounts. What a coward !

You definitely have roots in the Sunflower state.

You claimed Elon Musk invented Tesla. I proved you wrong. Why can you not just own your mistake?

What on Earth are you talking about? Perhaps you are mixing me up with someone else, which is a common event for people in the initial stages of Alzheimers. You are also from Kansas.

Most of it is 100% correct The company was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.[10][11] They served as chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively.[12] Eberhard said that he wanted to build "a car manufacturer that is also a technology company", with its core technologies as "the battery, the computer software, and the proprietary motor".[13] SpaceX is a joke, and completely unsucessful. Leave space exploration to NASA. 320 billion. Musk lost tends of billions with the acquisition of Twitter, and his bizarre ramblings adversely affected Tesla stock, You can. Just look at how Trump made his fortune. Like twitter? LOL This is hiarious, if only since it is comically false. Elon has driven Twitter/X into the ground. It is losing boatloads of money, and subscribers. Once something better is developed, X will go the way of Truth Social. By 2026, America will be in complete chaos, after Musk guts the US Government. Look no further at how horrible Twitter became, once Musk gutted the social media platform.

Bias In review, FNC publishes stories with emotionally loaded headlines such as Biden says ‘MAGA Republicans’ threaten democracy as he and Dems crank up anti-Trump rhetoric ahead of midterms and White House defends slamming half of America as ‘semi-fascist,’ ‘terrorists’ despite Biden’s unity pledge. After the 2020 election, Fox News TV personalities advanced false and unproven conspiracy theories regarding election fraud Questions linger over the Left’s plot against Donald Trump. Numerous audits and studies reveal that election fraud during the 2020 election was average and had no impact on the election’s outcome. Further, as noted above, they promoted conspiracy theories related to Dominion Voting Machines. TV personalities also advanced false claims and conspiracies on the following issues: No guns at the capitol riot (False), Trump authorized the National Guard for the Capitol Riot (No Evidence), FBI orchestrated insurrection (False), The USA funds Biolabs in Ukraine (False), Numerous instances of Covid-19 vaccine disinformation (False). Further, according to Politifact, FNC has also been deemed the least accurate cable news source. Finally, Fox News also features fact-based news reporting by beat reporters and some daytime TV hosts. However, this credible news reporting is buried between TV programming promoting Right Leaning propaganda and false claims. The website is similar, with credible news stories between hyper-partisan questionable content from their nighttime TV hosts. source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news-bias/ ----- The Atlantic puts FOX News to shame, in factual reporting.

Being the son of a multi-millionaire, and then taking credit for others inventions, and gaming the system to get billions in Government grants, tends to make people wealthy.

Sounds like Trump's business ventures. I guess the old saying carries weight: "Birds of a feather..."

Facts don't lie. Employment under Democratic Presidents is greater than employment under Republican presidents. It should also be noted that nearly all major recessions in the past 50 years (1973, 1982, 1990, 2001, 2008, 2020) were under Republican leadership.

gaslighting 1 : psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator In the 2024 campaign, that line has been crossed. Trump blurs the distinction between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants—the latter including his wife, his late ex-wife, the in-laws of his running mate, and many others. He has said of immigrants, “They’re poisoning the blood of our country” and “They’re destroying the blood of our country.” He has claimed that many have “bad genes.” He has also been more explicit: “They’re not humans; they’re animals”; they are “cold-blooded killers.” He refers more broadly to his opponents—American citizens, some of whom are elected officials—as “the enemy from within … sick people, radical-left lunatics.” Not only do they have no rights; they should be “handled by,” he has said, “if necessary, National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” In using this language, Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He understands which era and what kind of politics this language evokes. “I haven’t read Mein Kampf,” he declared, unprovoked, during one rally—an admission that he knows what Hitler’s manifesto contains, whether or not he has actually read it. “If you don’t use certain rhetoric,” he told an interviewer, “if you don’t use certain words, and maybe they’re not very nice words, nothing will happen.” His talk of mass deportation is equally calculating. When he suggests that he would target both legal and illegal immigrants, or use the military arbitrarily against U.S. citizens, he does so knowing that past dictatorships have used public displays of violence to build popular support. By calling for mass violence, he hints at his admiration for these dictatorships but also demonstrates disdain for the rule of law and prepares his followers to accept the idea that his regime could, like its predecessors, break the law with impunity. These are not jokes, and Trump is not laughing. Nor are the people around him. Delegates at the Republican National Convention held up prefabricated signs: Mass Deportation Now. Just this week, when Trump was swaying to music at a surreal rally, he did so in front of a huge slogan: Trump Was Right About Everything. This is language borrowed directly from Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist. Soon after the rally, the scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat posted a photograph of a building in Mussolini’s Italy displaying his slogan: Mussolini Is Always Right. These phrases have not been put on posters and banners at random in the final weeks of an American election season. With less than three weeks left to go, most candidates would be fighting for the middle ground, for the swing voters. Trump is doing the exact opposite. Why? There can be only one answer: because he and his campaign team believe that by using the tactics of the 1930s, they can win. The deliberate dehumanization of whole groups of people; the references to police, to violence, to the “bloodbath” that Trump has said will unfold if he doesn’t win; the cultivation of hatred not only against immigrants but also against political opponents—none of this has been used successfully in modern American politics. source: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-authoritarian-rhetoric-hitler-mussolini/680296/

Learn history, doofus.

I will repeat myself for clarity. The parallels between trump's MAGA movement and Hitler's Nazi movement are now just too hard to ignore.

My point exactly.

I never said you were "just like Hitler." However, you are supporting a movement that has close parallels to the Nazi party.

Musk is a "hero to free speech" the same way Adolf Hitler was a champion of civil liberties.

This is going to be like a 2025 version of the comedy "Dumb and Dumber,^ with two professional grifters in a powerful position of the US Government. The American people will surely suffer under the banana republic Trump is creating.

This is what happened to Hans Litten, lawyer for Antifa and socialists in Germany prior to Hitler being anointed Chancellor for Berlin. For his work in exposing Nazi crimes, he was sent to concentration camps, and tortured for 5 years, before committing suicide in 1938. The people who brag about revenge on lawyers, hate democracy, and want their political enemies exterminated, like most fascist regimes. If more people could be like Hans Litten, and stand up to the MAGA loons, the World would be a better place. If we did that in the first place, Trump would be in jail, and the Democrats would have won this election.

I am starting to regret not voting for Micharl Hardner. Michael is the glue that binds this forum. Of all the Trump loving hyenas, Michael is one of the rare articulate and rational forum members. There is a reason he is affectionately referred to as "Uncle Michael."

Back on topic. I sometimes enjoy a nice Costco hot dog and fountain drink, for the incredibly low price of $1.50. Not only that, I never need to worry about vagrants or thieves coming into the store, since meth heads are not known to buy memberships to Costco.
