Granted that he is not a member of the NSDAP, but he does support and encourage hard right-wing groups which attempt to fulfill roughly the same mission. His actions certainly meet the more modern definition of nazi than they do any other p

What is the advantage to those organizations to have their work preserved? If their work is stored in a public archive, they can’t charge for it and they lose money. If they make a mistake, then history is what they say it is and there is n

Pretty normal for Elon: big promises, generate interest and funding, then fail to deliver. But by that time, he’s got his trillion-dollar paycheck and is working on his next scheme. We used to eliminate Nazis, not invest in them.

Something tells me we're (the US) not winning this war nearly as well as the Trump administration wants us to believe. It's starting to smell like it's not exactly a rose-strewn walk in the park that they thought it would be.

I'm perfectly well-aware of their history. You'd be hard-pressed to find a large modern German industrial without a swastika in their history. I'm also well-aware that they are not currently Nazi sympathizers (as a corporatio

When I look at the person behind it all, I have to wonder how the hell people can even consider using grok? Or using Twitter? Or any of that. Using any of those things puts money in Musk's pockets and further enables and encourages him

If you're wealthy, it's not a problem because you probably won't have a data center next to you. If you're poor, you're screwed. Those data centers require a ton of extra power infrastructure and the costs of those

"We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost," OK, sure, but only if we agree that a war should be fought. No more fig

The Arabs will because we have a President who can be bought. Who's practically begging to be bought.

I can already smell the exceptions - some companies will be exempted from these restrictions due to "national security implications", or, more realistically, "we distracted the President with a golden gewgaw and a bribe"

Data centers are high-dollar projects that sound great and officials are able to look like they're doing things to increase revenues, generate jobs, create infrastructure and put the community on the forefront of high-tech. Altogether,

None of the things you believe are working out. 1) Working towards prosperity, etc. - the prosperity is all going toward the top 2%. The people who need it most are not seeing it and probably never will because the only ones who guarantee a

The only reason Apple is doing this is to brown-nose Trump to keep him from tariff-ing them into lower profitability.
