It is kind of funny that Elon Musk managed to go nearly his entire adult life without really touching on politics, not caring any more than the next guy. But sometime around the point that he bought Twitter and viciously rebranded it as “X” (Was that a clue?), he became subsumed with Donald Trump and MAGA much more than any other guy. It has gotten to the point that following Elon on X has become nothing more than an avalanche of MAGA Muskiness. Combining the avalanche with a universe of weird he shred the last vestiges of “other guy” and joined Trump on stage last night in Pennsylvania. Together they took crazy to Mars.
Any questions as to why Musk joined Trump at the rally can easily be answered in saying that he had nowhere else to go. Musk has lived and breathed MAGA for so long that he had just one last vector. So he did speak at the rally and promptly dropped all charm as he “jumped, jumped” on the stage, losing his mind and shirt while at it.
The New York Times shred its last vestiges of dignity in describing the scene:
Elon Musk, the billionaire head of Tesla and SpaceX, strode onto the stage to cheers at Donald J. Trump’s rally on Saturday night, lifted his arms above his head and jumped into the air — twice — exposing his navel as his shirt rode up. ”
As you can see, I’m not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA,” he said. In addition to bouncing up and down onstage, he urged the crowd to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” — an echo of the words Mr. Trump had uttered after the attack.

You were warned. (The video is way down below, hiding) It is pretty safe to assume that if you are ever speaking in front of a crowd – “exposed” is not a word you want thrown around. If he wants to say that he’s “Dark MAGA” that’s fine if he’s really into derivative memes, or perhaps a reference beyond Joe Biden, one slipping to Dark Matter as found in the universe… But that’s the type that blissfully can’t be seen! One might never see anything less dark than Elon’s navel.
Alas, we couldn’t even get that, though rally-goers were not polled on whether they even wanted to see anything so white. Having said all that, Elon went further in scraping away elan by getting everything diabolically wrong while describing Democrats:
“He must win to preserve democracy in America. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote, effectively.”
So that happened, and he’s obviously and totally wrong, too. Our idea of voting is to make it easier, not harder. They know it and that’s why we’re such a threat. Moreover, they always say that Democrats want to take away the right to bear arms because it’s so fundamental to firearm sales before an election – time to stock up! The guy trying to take away your democracy is the guy who promised to be a dictator but only on day one – Trump.
There is one element of this that is absolutely delicious. You know that Trump approached Musk before and after the speech saying, “You have 200-something billion dollars, how about donating one billion to me… And, and – giving some to the campaign!” Alas, Elon didn’t get to be the richest man on Earth by giving stuff away… Well, perhaps his nobility.
But, his turn to politics might make it cheaper for him to get to Mars. If he floated the idea that he and Trump might take the maiden voyage, many might pay to throw them off our planet.
Ugh – the end:

As I’ve said…you can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa but you can’t take apartheid South Africa out of the boy.
Musk wants to build missiles.
I had never even considered this. It could well be true but I suspect he’s rich enough that he wouldn’t trade in on his reputation as a weird guy to militant man… If he actually wants to go to Mars – and I think that he does, he cannot get there on the back of missiles but on the back of nations wanting to help.
It is something to consider, though. It would be an entirely new operation from rockets. Very little crossover.

😳 I was horribly afraid they were gonna rub their big bellies together in bruh love!! 🤢🤮
Elon Mucus is a conman too.
I didn’t watch the video. The two people I hate most ( and that’s a short list) most onstage together? I may have to.stock up within dramamine.. And Musk showing off his gymnastic abilities is enough to.bring back bring my night terrors back.
Anyone know what the side effects of mixing ketamine and pot long term abuse might be? His facial expression makes him look like a Bond villain.
the grossly incompetent leading the just plain gross. space karen does himself no favors by showing off his very out of shape, fish-belly white, “abs” (if that is what they are). ROTFLMAO
