I thought the whole point was transparency and auditing? Are you telling me Musk was lying!?! So who watches the Watchmen?

  Wouldn't it be the AGs who recently got 'let go'? And why did you go straight to whataboutism? Just because one person does bad things it doesn't excuse other people from doing the same bad things. You don't see serial killers lawyers arguing, "I know my client killed 17 people, but what about that Jeffrey Dahmer, eh?"

    I remember that time that my parents got to vote for Nick Civella as the local crime boss and got to confront him, with no consequences whatsoever, at an open meeting about how he was spending the Central States Pension Fund on Vegas casinos.

      If you trace how first governments formed… it’s literally true. When the mafia gets everyone in its ranks it becomes the defacto ruling body. In present times, you can look at cartels providing government services of better quality than the government itself in some parts of the world.

        Modern 'democratic' govts are actually a sophisticated form of the what is typically considered the mafia. Killing their rivals has been replaced with 'defeating' their rivals in an election. So now they need to worry less if their rivals will kill them. Then they also they send you a nice itemized printed tax bill versus the the mafia which would send their henchmen to knock at your door for the protection money. All in all in the west humanity has progressed! /s

    "He's one of the most honest and truthful people in the world, and has been for years." You know what this is simply getting to idiotic now. Why are comments this daft and childish allowed here now? I know it's a "way of speaking" among certain trolling Trump/Musk supporters but it's so unfathomably shameless and idolising i'm not sure what's going on exactly. If people like you are over 20 years old, then wow. "He's the most honest person in the world", literally come on now even if you believe in his way of doing things.

      It's dripping with so much sarcasm I'm afraid my warranty will be voided for water damage. It even mentions his self driving promises to drive the point home...
