Honestly I'm getting pretty worried. We just had the current administration sell a bunch of young men into slavery in a El Salvador (they will be doing forced hard labor) then openly state in a court filings that they had no evidence o

Elon's power comes from his money and his position at the head of these companies. Take that away and you take away his power. Or maybe he realizes before that point he's fucking himself and changes course. Either one probably see
