From their own social media platform. Thats the part that always gets me about their spats. They only post and read on the platform they own.

I'm okay with that.

it is theater

That's not going to happen, but it's really gonna be fun watching them fight more while he tries.

If he wants to do it this way he is welcome to.

always funny to see and popcorn worthy!

This dude practically bought votes for trump.

This is all bullshit theater unless he funds something.

Ew no money please. The only people who want Tesla shares are going to be worthless idiots.

I haven't heard of Musk being demented... Is this a thing? I just assumed it was the ketamine.

President Trump, who attended a UFC fight earlier this year with allies and members of his Cabinet, floated the idea of a fight on the South Lawn weeks ago as part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. The proposal comes as the Trump administration grows the corporate presence on White House grounds.

Trump held an event for Tesla on the South Lawn earlier this year — when he purchased an electric vehicle alongside then-ally Elon Musk in a statement to those protesting the automaker— in addition to the first corporate-sponsored White House Easter Egg roll.

“We’re going to be on the South Lawn, and literally, when you’re watching the fight, this will all be the White House here, and then behind me will be, you know, the Washington Monument,” White said during the news conference.

White confirmed the fight will be pay-per-view but didn’t outline any match-ups ahead of the South Lawn show.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

"Bread and circuses" (or "bread and games"; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.

In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace,[1] by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns.[2][3][4] The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.

It's like watching two nasty creatures fight each other while you, who was going to be eaten by one of them, can get away, at least for a little bit. But if you had the ability, you stomp the fuck out of both of them.

“Left Leaning” bias my asshole :(

Yeah, I have to chuckle at lots of "wellaxetually" types that like to play the Enlightened Centrist (TM) that pop up nearly on any given forum to lecture the likes of me when I openly mock the notion of a "liberal media".

When I ask just where the fuck this supposed "liberal media" is, I usually get a lot of bafflegab that leads almost nowhere. Often they point to bullshit sites like that one that do nothing to consider the broader spectrum or ideas like Chomsky's where he has pointed out that very strident arguments tend to be allowed between a very narrow and confined range.

And so a website like Wonkette is ranked as "far left" by such types, LOL. When nothing on Wonkette comes even close to the far left, LOL. It's just that most of the media landscape is dominated by extremists like Faux, and set up as a contrast to the news outlets of megacorps and their values...which both have nearly the same exact values. The Faux wing of that "spectrum" just comes with more homophobia, transphobia, race-baiting, misogyny, etc...

Yeah, someone connected with this shit got to his pockets. I'm guessing very shortly after he was named as representative to the victims.

Elon's brother was like epstein's second-best friend.

There's pictures of him with Maxwell floating around that he's been trying really hard to erase, right? It wouldn't surprise me if he's on the list himself and feeling confident that he's not going to get fucked over because he knows there's too many powerful people who have no interest in ever seeing those files released around or because he and the Elonjugend just happened to get rid of any evidence that could implicate him.

Anyway, he's only doing this because he's mad that Trump doesn't want to play Tesla salesman anymore.

and nevertheless he used him for his own gain at our expense, and continues to use him to beef up his own image

I'm surprised they lasted this long.

Elmo should understand that the Tesla stock drops because of him, not because of Trump.

And this is being told to us by a drug addled, serial conman, with an insemination, but not actually breeding kink, who lies about his prowess in video games for attention and validation, and just released an interactive AI girlfriend/boyfriend simulator...

Who is also the richest man in the world.

Who paid for the person he is now mud slinging at, to become President.

...

We live in a fever dream, or fan fiction level attempt at a cyberpunk novel from the 80s.

Fuck it, maybe simulation theory is correct, and us running a whole bunch of AI bullshit inside of it is just actually collapsing the narrative generation capacity of the simulation.

Damnit.

I've now made the fever dream even more ludicrous.

"Shitty" is just Trump's style, so that tracks.

One of the most useful and intentional products of an obvious and blundering conspiracy is the open demonstration that the participants are literally beyond the reach of reason or the law.

It promotes apathy, helplessness, and cynicism.

Agree. I doubt he signed any confidentiality paperwork.

wwe maybe (am curious when HH Helmseley has a wrestler come out and pick a side).

AEW (and CMLL and Stardom and NJPW) are not this shit. Hell, a few weeks back AEW had one of the biggest faces of the company come out in Arena Mexico and give a decent-ish Spanish promo about how his family owed so much to Mexican immigrant workers and how he learned so much from them and how we are better when we work together. The same night a different wrestler came out in an "Abolish ICE" shirt.

So don't drag wrestling down. It is basically just TKO (WWE+UFC) that still runs on redneck hate and bigotry

So with Trump and Musk, which is The Undertaker and which is Mankind?

Or are they BOTH The Undertaker and we’re all Mankind?

I’d usually agree with this sentiment, but the MAGAsphere actually seems to be breaking with him on this one. The chuds are upset about this, and it might not go away so easily, especially now that he’s attacking his base over this.

I don't like the presumption of video sales for CSAM.

Edit: not a dig at you, but of the unpleasant viability of that statement.

If you truly believe this, you need to take a step back from one or more echo chambers, because you've lost touch with reality.

Trump waffling on the topic, without any 'hard' evidence, has already caused momentum in the opposite direction.

That's my takeaway too. What are americans gonna do about it? Nothing. He'd just gain popularity and the church will like him more too because of their common interests

It's more that because of elon's single-mindedness and pettiness that we can measure his effect on the platform and extrapolate that to other social media. So this would give us a good basis of measurement for the forced memes that big tech companies want us to spread when they aren't being so obvious.
