I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Those assholes baited him into saying it by saying "Hello, let's begin". It was a liberal plot all along.

They were doing role playing or something to get him to be less racist in public, right? So the best case for him is that he completely failed a test to say “n-word” instead of actually saying the word?

Schnatter was on a call with marketing agency Laundry Service when he tried to downplay comments he made about the National Football League and allegedly said, “Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s," and complained that the KFC founder never faced public backlash. The call was a role-playing exercise for Schnatter to prevent future public relations fumbles.

So far the biggest negatives seem to be lovely safety practices at Tesla and a handful injuries (some that may have been severe) that may have been covered up. VS almost single-handedly pushing the public's interest in EVs to the point that it's drat near a normal thing. Oh, and kick-starting the reusable rocket era, which tips the scales of space ventures much closer to where it needs to be for commercial interests to get involved.

I think on the "current supervillain" list he's pretty far down. The submarine idea was pretty dumb, but it's not like he actively prevented anyone there from doing their jobs. They told him to get out of the way and he did. gently caress him, I guess.

Kind of curious, why all of the hate in this thread for Elon vs. Thiel, who's basically a distilled version of everything that's bad about Musk, without any of the positives? Is it just because one of them is in the news more vs. the poo poo you all know he's doing to gently caress up the world?

I approve of musk being anti union, threatening to move his plant over taxes, making his ex wife sign a prenup as he told her "I am the alpha in this relationship" and lied to her about it, and only giving a poo poo about flint when his PR stunt in thailand backfired.

I mean I am all for rich people spending more money on dumb things, instead of their workers, like the old roman aristocracy.

Good guy? No, not by a long shot.
Super villain? Not that either.

Just a lovely rich person who only does things for more investment money (shooting car into space) or when his feelings get hurt.

He is the liberal donald trump.

Also Thiel doesn't have a legion of weird nerds to argue on his behalf every time he does something public. He an rear end in a top hat conservative with money, people know that, and that's about the entire story.

Thiel and Palantir should definitely be in the spotlight a lot more than they are though.

I guess my point is that it's not really news when he posts his latest dumb idea on Twitter. Everyone knows Elon's a turd. Meanwhile, there were a total of three posts about right wing death squads rehashing the best hits of the 80s in Nicaragua.

Talked to a friend of mine tonight that I haven't seen in months. I asked him what he thinks of the government and he said "Well...Trump is obviously an idiot...but my stocks are way up so I don't know..." This could be an issue for voting his rear end out.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?


She absolutely has a point that democrats will also gently caress black people over and that they (like pretty much every "regular" politician) will take money from the devil, but she doesn't exactly offer an alternative to voting for democrats in the midterms that would yield at least a semblance of a bulwark against even more lovely racist policies being pushed through by the Trump administration.

Yes, that initiative in LA she talks about is absolutely a move that doesn't help black folks at all because elected democrats ignore minority priorities, but I have trouble seeing how prioritizing pushes for regional equality over trying to win in the midterms doesn't gently caress them over even more.

Did you see the cutesy art of the escape where the navy divers were represented as cute baby seals, the international divers as frogs and elon musk was Iron man? That's the loving quality of his PR division and by god they need a raise.

No one talks about Peter Thiel because all of the bad poo poo he does is mostly behind the scenes. The vast number of people in the US don't know about his part in taking down Gawker, and probably don't remember that was ever a thing. He's free to sit back, fund really awful causes, and try to live forever. The American public at large doesn't know or care because they're a bunch of spectacle loving retards who are too busy watching what the stupid Afrikaaner is up to.
