Is Musk playing some kind of gambit where if he gets evicted he doesn't have to pay rent owned or something? Because why would you make it STROBE for and at that level of brightness?
My city has just finished up a month long public light show and nothing was that bright and obnoxious.

If you ever find yourself asking "Is Musk playing some kind of gambit?" the answer is always "no he's loving stupid"

Unless I'm reading it wrong according to here they've had two days of rain since may 9th.

So apparently yeah at the moment the answer would be pretty much yes.

I'm pretty sure the cleverest gambit Musk ever pulled was coming out as a Republican, after being contacted by a journalist working on a story about his history of sexual harassment, but before the story was published, and I doubt he came up with that one on his own.

Both can be true - Elon thinks he's playing some kind of gambit, but he's actually loving stupid and doesn't comprehend the actual outcomes of his actions. Just always acting in the moment, assuming it'll make people stand up and clap for how good and cool he, Elon Musk; Tech Guru, is.

I don't know if he even got that far, tbh. I think it was more that he thought it would be cool and there's no one left to tell him no.

Because he’s angry at literally most of humanity, and wants to hurt us.

He reinstated the guy that’s posting child sex abuse.

More likely killed them by overwatering them or watering them after it was already late morning early afternoon. With how foggy it usually is in the morning in SF, I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t even really need to water them much at all, ever.

So the point of X! is to make an everything app with finance stuff right?

Wondering when were going to start to see any fiance stuff hacked in as between the current spaghetti code, hate of testing, and hate of even pretending to follow any regulations, that should end in fun times.

I assume trying to add some crypto related thing will be first. Is X coin already a thing? I feel like that must of already been taken.

With military dictators there’s always a chance one if your bodyguards will pull a fast one and shoot you in the back. While we can’t be so lucky with Elon, I daydream someone from his entourage turns around one day and just socks him a big one right in his stupid face.

I was going to make a joke that no one has ever seen Elon and Jeffrey of YOSPOS in the same room together. But Musk is a man who can't even keep his sockpuppets straight, so that's just a silly insinuation.

Now I want a Batman story, where is fake Bruce Wayne persona is the biggest idiot of the world. Batman tries desperately to make the worst decisions imaginable to appear like a fool and gets depressed since so many people actually insist that he's a genius.

Every day the Musk fans on X learn something new. Today, the lesson revolves around landlord property rights. It is not completely out of the question that Musk tries to equate enforcing property rights with a woke campaign targeting him.
