why cant we get these 2 'billionaires' into a shitty submersible protected only by ego?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And controlled by a neuralink in Trump

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Let’s not take any chances. Hook it up to a potato.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m thinking that would decrease the chance of problems.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

An experiment is the only way to be sure.

Perhaps we should hook it to a man, woman, person, camera, or TV.

You mean the one who said that he’d ban electric cars?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this one.

[–] BuckenBerry@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Remember that time Trump bragged who Elon Musk would be willing to suck his dick?

That was probably the truest thing he ever said.

[–] zik@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Remember the time - two days ago - when Trump said he was going to ban all electric cars? I wonder how Elon feels about that.

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Iirc he said he planned to ban imported electric cars, so Musk is free to gobble that tiny orange mushroom shaped dick. Need to go do a heroic dose of mushrooms and delete those neural connections now.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I think this article is the answer. Elon offers a platform, Trump exempts Tesla from whatever anti-EV regulations he wants to push. Quid pro quo.

[–] QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

Remember the shit show that was DeSantis’ announcement on Twitter? I hope this event happens because you know it will be slap-dash and insane.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They mean a presidential candidates town hall.

While no dates or locations have been set, the current plan has X hosting a town hall with Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

President Joe Biden's campaign has reportedly turned down the offer, according to the Wall Street Journal.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Musk simping hard trying to make Xitter more than just his failing ego-stroking right-wing echo chamber.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Trump and Kennedy having a crazy-off? Sign me up!

[–] thesecretbarn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao can't wait

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Two slime balls holding hands. I look forward to the day I never have to hear about them again.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Guys, X is unbiased free speech now. Guys, no, I promise. - Elon

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

No way the tech can fail worse than the DeSantis one. Right??? Riiiiiiight???? 🙏🙏🙏

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder which will stab the other in the back first?

Probably neither...Elon wouldn't be able to drive one through that protective layer of fat and Depends and T****s hands are too small to hold a suitable knife.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the odds on Musk calling Trump out on his electric vehicle ban?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Lonnie is so cool. Gosh, I hope I can grow up to be just like him. Better ask my parents to retcon my birth so that they control a gem mine when I’m born. Then everyone will know what a super genius I am. I can’t wait.

Fuck Lonnie.

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ah, so more of the tiny-dick sucking. Yeah I’ll pass.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Shit apples
