What is this machine, does it actually exist, and is it fast?

What is this machine, does it actually exist, and is it fast?

I suspect it's more reliable that the CyberTruck.

 

[Serene]

What is this machine, does it actually exist, and is it fast?

It is a micro-size compatible vehicle and designed to shrink small enough with himself onboard to travel up his own dirty árseh0**. I hope it has strong lights on it, because his árse**le is very badly lit.

You can imagine the friction, though. I obviously don't like Bannon one iota, but he does seem a genuine, ideologically-driven believer, unlike Musk.

Takes one to know one I suppose.

Bannon using the language of Yanis Varoufakis there. "Techno-feudalism" - good if that catches on as a term more widely. It's a great shorthand description.

and yet, just 4 days ago, Bannon was telling Bloomberg how Musk and his money were the secret to their global populist agenda.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s wealth and influence are valuable weapons to further spread MAGA populism in Europe, Steve Bannon, former top aide to United States President-elect Donald Trump, said.

“Money and information are the twin tactical nukes of modern politics — and he can deploy both at unprecedented scale,” Bannon said in an interview with Bloomberg.

But despite their disagreements, Bannon said that Musk’s influence will work to the advantage of the MAGA movement, of which he is an adamant supporter.

“I support his participation because the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” Bannon said.

“Musk just spent a quarter of a billion dollars to elect Trump,” said Bannon. “If he puts the same amount of money into all of Europe that he put behind Trump, he will flip every nation to a populist agenda. There’s not a centrist left-wing government in Europe that will be able to withstand that onslaught.”

Hmmm

 

[Dogsauce]

So Musk changes tune and attacks Farage, and Bannon then attacks Musk. Next up, Cummings enters the ring with a folding chair…

I've stopped posting on twitter but keep my account for now whilst sports teams etc migrate away (hopefully).

However, I did repost something I saw on a wind-up:



The free speech champion (delicate flower) has labelled my account as a bot due to this.

 

[Whagwan]

Now I'm troubled as I've re-read that first post (reposted in haste) and am wondering if "space-bender" is a homophobic slur?

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

It’s only him and Jeffrey Benzos up there.looks pretty gay to me.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Kinnock plays proxy, this is looking coordinated…

 

[Serene]

So Musk has set his goal to convert Europe to fascism.

 

[albionism]

Mad, all these racist cunts calling each other racists and at the same time trying to out racist each other.

Meddling reached Wales!

Elon Musk: Welsh Refugee Council staff 'harassed' after X post

Staff at the charity say some colleagues have had death threats after Musk shared the post on X.

www.bbc.co.uk

The Welsh government said: "The claims relating to this video are untrue and utterly irresponsible.

"The video in question was produced by a group of young children to show their school as a welcoming place. The video was withdrawn in 2023 following extensive online abuse received by the school.

"Anybody who cares about the safety of our young people should not be sharing false claims about them."

South Wales Police said: "An allegation of malicious communications was reported at around 11.30pm on Saturday January 11 concerning a post on the social media platform 'X'.

"The matter is being looked into by South Wales Police."

So we're now at the stage of fascist literal Richest Man In The World convincing ordinary shmoes to attack the forces that might protect them from him and people like him, because people wanting you to have rights or for people not to be billionaires are The Real Elite. Gotcha.

Total information collapse

It's started. And it's only going to accelerate from here.

Well this from Carole Cadwalladr is pretty fucking terrifying and I suspect pretty accurate.

Still believe in those cgi spaceships? chimps.

Great piece. I’ve never felt bleaker about the world. The incoming Trump presidency feels like a nightmare coming true. The levels of savagery and barbarism him and his psychotic allies will unleash are too unbearable to think about.

The Democrats didn't do what they should have done in the first place, put Trump on trial for treason.

I was reading Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography the other week and the parallels between now and the
interwar years are there.
