The Donald vs Big Tech

[John Kimble]

Not much into politics but all this strikes me as a bizarre version of the movie Big come to life, where an adolescent gets trapped in the body of a President, then sets about doing the kind of 'zany and hilarious' antics you would expect from a 12 year old boy.

[Ducky]

I have to wonder if that's part of the plan. As in, look, he's zany and hilarious, when in fact he's one of the biggest threats to global stability.

Now they're rowing back on Gaza going. Oh the president didn't mean they'd leave permanently. Oh no no no. What gave you that silly idea. A bit of rebuilding. No troops, not at all.

What's Musks gain from access to government databases. Just to get inside knowledge to win bigger contracts. Or is he thinking a lot bigger.

[Ducky]

The orange cunt is like the ultimate conclusion to "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse".

What an insufferable sack of excrement.

Fun...

Chap wants to terraform Mars. Can't get much bigger than that! He even banged on about it at the inauguration. He'd probably happily allow half the world's population to starve or die of disease if it meant he had enough resources to plow ahead with that truly ludicrous idea.

[Emphyrio]

Maybe it's from my interest in sci-fi, but I believe terraforming Mars will happen at some point and someone has to be the one with the drive, and finances, to get the ball rolling. But yes, he would gladly sacrifice half the world's population to do so.

[Eoin McLove]

Ironically, if he did wipe out half of the Earth's population then we wouldn't have to go to Mars. Humanitarian crisis on a global scale, perhaps. But think of all the extra elbow room. Kill em all*, Elon!

*the ones from the shithole countries. Cheers.

It may well happen at some point, but not in Musk's lifetime imho

Worth revisiting this Adam Curtis extract drawing a line between the Surkov/Putin population control strategy and MAGA's strategies, pretty much the same now as they were in 2016 but supercharged by Musk.

No, it certainly won't happen that soon but I'm sure he has plans to be cryogenically frozen, or probably something more technological, to be revived if/when it does happen.

Yeah thought of this alright! I know any time I open Reddit I have the feeling of "what now?". The goalposts seem to move by the hour, it's insane really.

Someone needs to put a hollow point in the back of this cretin's skull ASAP.

Wild.

[Ducky]

He's a real "where do you even start with this fuckstick" sort of fuckstick.

I think the cruelty others is the entire point of this incoming Donald administration.

Yeah I'm sure he's worried about you, whoever you are, calling him a 'fuckstick' (brilliant).

What? Cruelty to others is the point of the Donald trump administration.

You realise that sounds retarded I hope?

Ah lads.
