Just how insane has the US become that these are even considerations.

That is...

I didn’t see the plate. I had to concentrate on controlling my laughter to keep on the road.

That seems...dumb. Tesla has burned through the reservation list, which means he either had to come up with $7 million or so, or lose his deposit. And since rob-taxis don't exist, and won't for who knows how long(years, anyway), how exactly did he expect this to work?

Is it possible for musk to lose his citizenship and/or face jail time over the apparent falsification of his visa documents?

If he was a Honduran gardener, even an Indian doctor he'd already be on a plane home, but having several billion makes you immune to ordinary laws

And even if the Cybertruck isn't worse than that, that its even in the conversation says a lot about how bad it is.

I assume he just has a Deplorean bed full of lawsuits by now? Because Pennsylvania just sued him for his paying people to vote game. I know it won't happen, but Musk in prison would be a great message to other billionaires to keep their election interference a little more subtle. What a moran.

The US is built for billionaires and public figures to act exactly like Musk and Trump and get away with it. To start cheering on and hoping for Musk jail time will be exactly the same fruitless "guys, I think they got him this time for real" endeavor of the last eight years against Trump.

Offering up his sperm and a compound for his 'family' in Texas... what could possibly go wrong...or be weirder?

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/stor...s-sperm-report


'On a quiet, leafy street of multimillion-dollar properties, one stands out: a 14,400-square-foot mansion that looks like a villa plucked from the hills of Tuscany and transplanted to Austin, Texas. This is where Elon Musk, 53, the world’s richest man and perhaps the most important campaign backer of former President Donald J. Trump, has been trying to establish the cornerstone of an unusual family compound, according to four people familiar with his plans.

Mr. Musk has told people close to him in recent months that he envisions his children (of which there are at least 11) and two of their three mothers occupying adjoining properties. That way, his younger children could be a part of one another’s lives, and Mr. Musk could schedule time with them.'

So relateable. I too, wish for all my exes and the offspring I sired with each to live in the same facility and have courtyard time with each other.

He probably thinks this way he can keep a closer eye on them so no others end up like his disloyal daughter.

IMO his kids would probably benefit most from being far away from his compound and influence. He may be the richest man in the world but he's got a lot of loose screws.

If he's looking for a compound, I bet he could get a good deal on one about 100 miles up the highway in Waco.
