What a lucid, intelligent, thought provoking retort.
Nah…I’m kidding.

Genuinely didn’t realise this prick’s signature move is supposed to be an X - as in X, formerly known as Twitter (or simply Twitter, as I call it).
In regards “Tony Hinchcliffe” and his “jokes” at the MSG rally, leaving aside the gross nature of what he said, and the idiocy of potentially alienating Puerto Rican and Latino voters, they’re just the shittest recycled hack jokes. “Cancel culture” is the worst thing that has happened to comedy, and not because it actually exists and we should be nervous about it; because it gives assholes like Hinchcliffe or Joe Rogan and “The Death Squad” (which is admittedly an hilarious name for a group of comedians to assign themselves, but not for the reasons they think) an out when they stand there spewing the same lazy, boring shit and nobody laughs. I’m just too edgy for this uptight, woke audience.

People will often go…
Oh look at the loonies running the countries but then laugh at say that NHS thing or Boaty McBoat face. A lot of people couldn’t run jack shit but they think they could.
99% of people have never run for office, I have, do I think I’d do better than some? Yes. Do I think I could lead a country or balance a budget? No.
Churchill was useless outside war but when needed as a figurehead he delivered.
Ramsay Macdonald by all accounts was a decent man but was ruined vilified by having to make decisions beyond his control.
Trump and his ilk are enemies of democracy and that is fascism. I’ve read enough history but I think sometimes we probably should curb the silliness of “all are rubbish”.
Trump’s not rubbish he has a fan base, he couldn’t run a whelk stall mind.

Away from the cameras he’s just as bad. Family? Workplace?
I guess many other companies would reach the lofty standards his companies have if they removed the notion of workplace standards and treated their staff like cattle - putting them out to pasture once you’ve burned them out.
He’s absolutely not someone any sane human should be aspiring to be like.

You should tell that to the 6,000 twitter employees he laid off overnight.
Musk is a cunt of the highest order.

Also 98.7% true. Well known fact.
Fiona Hill , Russia expert and star of the first impeachment trial , reflects here on the burgeoning Trump / Musk / Putin nexus and the very real possibility of the US becoming just another oligarchy. Every American should read this before they go to vote next week , and so should anyone else who is concerned about the future of democracy. Another stunning dissection from someone who knows more than most.

Not always an indication of how well they are treated or weather health and safety practices in the workplace are followed correctly.
