  He has a BS cult of personality like trump. And has learned he can distract from his real scandals by causing an overload of stupid shenanigans. That will capture the media focus. And keep it from where it should be.

    In the UK we call it a dead cat strategy.

    There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]

      Sounds like a super long way of describing a “distraction”.

    I don’t know how much it’s he despises her, vs how much he despises what he thinks woke people and the woke education system did to her.

  Bullshit.

  He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

  Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities as well as Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.

  Yeah, his daughter is trans and publicly disowned him. The dude has basically quadrupled down on his transphobia ever since just to prove how totally not butthurt he is over this.

  Nope, I think Elon is really onto something. Woke schools means we can’t go to space anymore!

  LOOK WHAT WE MADE HIM DO!!!
