If only (or don't threaten me with a good time)

Elon Musk today: "Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!

And they will lose their primary next year if it's the last thing I do on this Earth."

Anyone think he means it?

but I never "got" caviar. Never tasted it, never wanted to. Now champagne, that's another story. But yes, you hit the nail on the head and the fact that Elon is railing against the bill NOW isn't gonna save his reputation.

Vows are real. And that's one gobsmacker of a bigly vow
for a flipping pill-junkie trilliowanker.

P.S. I regard your avoidance of caviar to be excellent sense and sensibility.
Your life will be all the more pleasant for your abstinence.

if the “insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.”... “Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE,” he wrote.



Like he gives a flying fuck about ANY of "the people," nevermind that they "actually have a VOICE".

Never believe vows or hype from billionaires with even a small track record of lies.
