Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

Best tweet I’ve seen all week was:

They’re eating the checks!
They’re eating the balances!

They’re not taking over the world.

They’re playing SimCity with the US.

Their world view is narrow. Europe, Russia, India, Japan, China? Yeah, I don’t think they take them.

Don’t bet on that mate. There are some there who are the techno monarchist weirdo types, but there are others who would happily seize the military power the US holds for a more muscular and malevolent version of American imperialism.

Let’s hope they don’t get too greedy with the FUNDS cheat.

The US and it’s military will fragment and get caught up with each other.

The DOGE Committee at work.

You’re talking about the US based ones though. All that now needs to happen is a bunch of Techno monarchists to pop up properly in Russia and China and suddenly the world can become a VERY different place.

Also doesn’t help that I’m reading the Legends of Dune Trilogy… You know, some very talented tech individuals forming an alliance and taking over the universe, before subsequently falling to AI

Well he got a gold pager from Netanyahu. I’m sure he doesn’t want to go against Israel now, you know, just in case

“International Rules Based Order”

Is this real life or am I in a simulation? Fuck me

f*ck it’d be hilarious if they find a listening device in it once Trump is gone

That’s some fucking sick shit, even by Coup Klux Klan standards.

Massive falls in Tesla sales all around the place

Additionally, Australia 33% down for January YoY. And I read somewhere California down around 11%.
In mitigation, there haven’t been any new models released for a while except the stupid child truck which is not allowed in many countries. But again this comes at a time when sales of electric vehicles in general are rising, thanks to good options coming in from China.

Anyhow, I assume there’d be a blowtorch on Musk’s bollocks from shareholders and the board to focus on sorting out this shit on his primary source of wealth and less on breaking things he knows nothing about.

edit: Australia figures here:

It’s almost like he hasn’t realised that most people buying EV are going to be “lefties” that are conscious of the environment etc.

I, for one, am absolutely shocked that one of the tech bros hired by Musk to lay waste to the US government is a racist fascist cunt.

Staffer for Musk’s DOGE resigns over racist social media posts that advocated for eugenics

Also BYD and MG etc have just come to market with a better product :person_shrugging:

In other self kick to the bollocks news, a couple of billion $ worth of purchases from US farmers by USAID seem to be in jeopardy, meaning a cut in income from the kind of communities that supported/voted for blah blah blah Mexican criminals selling fentanyl in women’s bathrooms etc etc

Good, fuck 'em.
