I'm willing to go along with the idea that his brain broke somehow.  That might go a long way to explain his knack for being in the right place at the right time while also being an ignorant repulsive piece of shit (ie he was less of one 6 plus years ago).

Also, that photo of him is the most humanoid I think I have ever seen him.

Nothing to see here other than billionaire co-POTUS pumping millions into a state Supreme Court campaign to influence the outcome of legislation that affects his own company.

I seem to recall a venerable old conservative president who praised our federalist system as empowering individual states to devise their own paths forward and calling them "laboratories of democracy." You know, the whole "local rule" principle. It used to be important to conservatives.

Today's so-called "conservatives" bend over backward to accommodate a corrupt regime's intent to further entrench an oligarch who holds the levers of power over the whole fucking system.

Elon Musk is far and away the biggest spender in this year’s race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, throwing his fortune behind a conservative candidate aiming to topple the court’s 4-to-3 liberal majority.

The deluge of cash — $20 million and counting from Mr. Musk and groups tied to him — comes as his electric car company, Tesla, is suing Wisconsin over its law prohibiting vehicle manufacturers from selling cars directly to consumers. The law requires a franchisee to act as a middleman.

Tesla filed the lawsuit in January, days before Mr. Musk began spending on the race. He has not publicly mentioned the litigation, but for weeks it has served as a backdrop of the April 1 election. The case is now before a court in Milwaukee County, but it could proceed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the coming months.

The conservative candidate, Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge who has declined to discuss the Tesla case, appeared with Mr. Musk on a social media livestream on Saturday and drew President Trump’s endorsement late last week. He faces Susan Crawford, a liberal Dane County judge backed by Wisconsin Democrats.

Since Mr. Musk began spending to help Judge Schimel, Judge Crawford and Wisconsin Democrats have built their public messaging around the idea that she is in a battle with the billionaire leading Mr. Trump’s destruction of the federal government.

“It is no coincidence that Elon Musk started spending that money within days of Tesla filing a lawsuit in Wisconsin,” Judge Crawford said during a televised debate this month.

Getting fucking cooked. Haha. 

If you want a good TLDR on this drama watch part of this Philip Defranco vid, starts at 12:40. Right wing gamers are up in arms over the new Assassin's Creed game because it has dual protagonists that are a woman and a black guy and Elon is slurping it up and getting cooked left and right.

None of us had a problem playing as Lara Croft.

Once again, he doesn't get comedy...like at all...if he thinks Stone and Parker wouldn't skewer that entire situation and Elon.

One of the least funny people on the planet that just needs people to think he's hilarious.

Is it too much to hope that AI figures out that the best thing for humanity is to rid the world of tech billionaires?

So maybe Skynet becoming self aware wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

No, really.

Elon Musk said on Friday that his xAI has acquired X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter, in an all-stock transaction for $45 billion, including debt.

"xAI and X's futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent," Musk said in a post on X, adding that the combined company would be valued at $80 billion.

The billionaire's AI startup, which was launched in 2023, recently raised $6 billion from investors at a valuation of $40 billion, sources have told Reuters.

I love that he's merging X and xAi (can't say AIX or IBM gets involved).

Now we need him to merge Tesla and xAIx as well as SpaceX and Neuralink and Boring.

Elon Musk Sells X, Formerly Twitter, for $33 Billion to His AI Startup

Isn't that just straight up money laundering/insider trading/whatever?  Like he's literally buying his own company at an inflated price?

Two private companies, so they don't have to get into financials publicly.

I want him to merge his public companies in.

It's all just bullshit because there's no actual market for either stock as they aren't publicly traded.

My guess is that he's trying to imbue Xitter with the hysterical bullshit that is AI.

So I’m trying to figure out who gets fucked in twitter getting sold to Elon’s company. I guess the original investors and lenders that bought Twitter have their positions rolled over into this bigger entity. Given that, whoever is investing in his AI company just bought an inflated asset. But given that the ai company is also an inflated asset, it doesn’t really matter. So, in summary
