Chief Twit

[YoDoug]

Give him time, he just officially owned it yesterday.

I hope he does really change it for the better. He seems like a leader that does not stand for BS. I don't think he would hang on to anyone that showed any resistance to his direction for the company.

Draining the swamp!

Draining the swamp!

I'm still waiting for that to happen.

To drain a swamp you have to get rid of the water. In this case the "water" is money. Closing down half of the federal departments and let the States have the freedom to run their own new departments would be a good start. Why should States send money to DC with hopes that they'll get some of their money back. Why does the IRS need 87,000 new agents when they already have everything they need to eliminate income tax returns in their computers and save most people money?

Free Bird

There are, I think, two major things to bear in mind about Musk's takeover of Twitter. One is that, although he is not himself a conservative, the fact that he supports a robust view of free speech in which a wide variety of opinions are not only tolerated but encouraged means that he will be regarded as an existential threat by the progressive establishment.

That establishment is right to regard him as a threat. For its guardians require strict conformity in dispensing their twisted gospel of "diversity" if they are to maintain their power and perquisites. Open the door just a little, let just a little sunlight in, and pow! The magic spell that made it seem OK to say that men are women, that "climate change" is a threat to humanity, that COVID is a peril on the same plane as the Black Death, or that BLM and Antifa were justified in burning down our cities—suddenly that spell is broken, and so is the hold over the narrative that these new guardians of conformity had enforced.

The second thing to bear in mind is that the establishment will not sit idly by as Elon Musk challenges their narrative. Everything about Musk is an insult to the coddled, low-testosterone consensus that has been ruining America this last decade through the promulgation of its dependency agenda. It is no accident, as the Marxists say, that even as Musk pushes ahead with his reformation of Twitter, the coercive busybodies of the state have begun making minatory noises about "investigating" Musk. Thus we read that Tesla is under federal investigation over autopilot claims.

Expect more of that. Beatings will continue until morale improves. As Glenn Reynolds put it at Instapundit, "The Bureaucracy Mobilizes Against A Threat." Were the midterms not just around the corner, I might be worried about this coalescing threat against Elon Musk. But come November 9, the clock will be ticking against that sclerotic, freedom-hating consensus. The bird is freed, and we will be too. Fiat Musk!

Ligma Johnson got fired from twtter and the media lament it.

I'm just waiting for used tesla prices to crash as blue check idiots decide they can't been seen driving them anymore. I wouldn't mind a model 3 for a daily driver if the price is right.

I don't know if I'm gonna have electricity at night when I would need to charge for too much longer. My state is run by complete imbeciles that are CLOSING power generation facilities as demand in increasing. Not that I would own an electric vehicle anyway because when the tyrants own the power grid, they own how you travel.

How Kommieforniastan goes is how the rest of yiur lives will go. If I was wrong Nancy Pelosi would not be 3 heartbeats away from the presidency.

A guy who worked here bought a Tesla and a residential stage 2 charging station last year
The power company would not issue him a permit to get the charging station installed
They said the neighborhood power grid was at it's limits and could not support another stage 2 charging station. That means he's stuck plugging it into his household current.
He's looking at 24 to 36 hours for a full charge which makes his $90k ride kind of useless for a daily commute.

On the other hand, a guy I know at church bought one and charges it at work, for free
It's one of the perks his employer offers
