Has Elon explicitly endorsed "replacement theory" yet, or is that on next week's agenda?

Wow the replies to this are really disheartening. Do people really think that Elon horny is some kind of actual solution to the reasons why people aren't having kids? As the CEO of multiple businesses and one of the most influential people on the planet, Elon could put forward pushes to expand maternity and paternity leave, the child tax credit, workplace protections for mothers, etc etc etc. Instead he rolls around banging his employees and tries to dress it up as some kind of effort to curb the end of society, and morons lap it up.

I'm clueless on Japanese politics. What was up with this former PM that would make someone want to shoot him?

He was working to have their constitution amended to allow for an unrestricted military iirc

Eh I'd rather Japan not want an unrestricted military, but can't begrudge their recognition that the USA is no longer a reliable ally that they can defer to for military purposes.

I'd defer to Mr. Nice! on this one, but Bannon appears hosed. His gambit with offering to testify to the J6 didn't convince a judge to do ANYTHING and all of his bullshit "well it was executive privilege" arguments got destroyed pre-trial.

Gosh golly what is the point of a trial now? Your honor, I propose my client be released on account of having irrefutably proved his guilt, sparing the prosecution the need to do anything.

In other news, I found the backstory to the "Anne Frank had white privilege" tweet and apparently it started because people thought the term "PAWG" was racist and detoured into doxing and threatening a pet pig? I think the brain worms took a W here.

I can read the words you posted, but when I try to parse their meaning I get a sensation similar to the one I have after I drink a double dose of NyQuil while managing a triple digit fever. Just sweaty malaise and confusion.

This is some crazy byzantine Da Vinci Code style J6/SCOTUS/Roe wackiness and I’m too tired to figure out if this is real, half real, or just the fever dream of some twitter rando.

A bit on why Twitter sued Musk, why they're not actually after the $1B breakup fee, and why everyone's brains aren't wired for what's going to go down in court:

https://twitter.com/AnnMLipton/status/1547757107788689410?t=6Xn0u1nFhYCPOXuBz0ELRw&s=19

Twitter isn't negotiating for the breakup fee, they want to enforce the sale of The Whole loving Thing because:

Maximizing shareholder value! It will be a death sentence when I rule the world, but it's why Twitter isn't just negotiating to make the $1B breakup fee higher. Everyone involved, except Elon, wants the full $44B to pay themselves out, then go poof. $54.20 per share is more than $36 per share and Twitter's gonna get that bag and won't settle for the breakup fee.

Also if the Twitter board goes for anything short of maximum shareholder value they will be sued by their shareholders.

Yeah these idiots are going to come out of Federal Prison much worse than they were. They've already demonstrated that they're willing to do stupid stuff for flimsy, pretextual causes. I don't really think their time in prison is going to improve those dispositions. Particularly given the willingness of the right to characterize what they did as "harmless"
