Two Term Celebrity Politician - JD Vance Missing Persons Coldcase

[Sirious]

They're not there to fight. They're there to insider trade and take bribes, while putting on the appearance of representation. With few exceptions.

I mean, he pardoned someone who killed a cop on capital grounds during an insurrection.

He will probably give whoever assassinates Pelosi a medal of freedom.

Did a cop die on Capitol grounds during the insurrection?

It occurred to me today that there is a possibility I could get arrested. I keep telling myself if Jane Fonda can do it, so can I. But I panic about what that means. I’ve only ever gotten a single parking ticket. I’m not that type. But my number one job is to keep my students safe.

He didn't die on Capitol grounds but it was a day after injuries he sustained from Jan 6th

[archibaldcrane]

He did die the day after Jan 7th. It's still unclear whether there was a relationship between the events on Jan 7th and his fatal strokes.

Yeah the 42 year old guy who collapsed and had to go the hospital due to the events of Jan 6th, probably didn't die due to those events the very next day. Just a coincidence.

Strokes being so common among 42 year olds after all.

[Tyche]

Well, there's probably 20 events he experienced that day that could have lead to factors increasing his stroke risk. I get it if you don't wanna lay it at any one person's specific feet, but..I mean, c'mon. I doubt the dude would be dead if he was sitting in a room watching a security screen on the 6th.

Regardless, that was like the minor detail of the point, which was that he pardoned vile garbage.

Just saw a post on Reddit where an old friend of Elon's posted about him on Facebook. Pretty interesting and seems accurate.

Spoiler for length.

Spoiler: show

I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years, well before he was a household name. We used to text frequently. He would come to my birthday party and invite me to his parties. He would tell me everything about his women problems. As sons of highly accomplished men who married venuses, were violent and lost their fortunes, and who were bullied in high school, we had a number of things in common most people cannot relate to. We would hang out together late in Los Angeles. He would visit my San Diego lab. He invested in my company.

Elon is not a Nazi, per se.

He is something much better, or much worse, depending on how you look at it.

Nazis believed that an entire race was above everyone else.

Elon believes he is above everyone else. He used to think he worked on the most important problems. When I met him, he did not presume to be a technical person — he would be the first to say that he lacked the expertise to understand certain data. That happened later. Now, he acts as if he has all the solutions.

All his talk about getting to Mars to “maintain the light of consciousness” or about “free speech absolutism” is actually BS Elon knowingly feeds people to manipulate them. Everything Elon does is about acquiring and consolidating power. That is why he likes far right parties, because they are easier to control. That is also why he gave himself $56 Billion which could have gone to the people actually doing the work and innovations he is taking credit for at Tesla (the reason his name is on so few patents is because putting a fake inventor on a patent would kill it and moreover it would reveal the superstars behind the work). His lust for power is also why he did xAI and Neuralink, to attempt to compete with OpenAI and NeuroVigil, respectively, despite being affiliated with them. Unlike Tesla and Twitter, he was unable to conquer those companies and tried to create rivals. He announced Neuralink just after I invited his ex-wife, which she and I notified him about, to a fundraising dinner for Hebrew University in London (The fact that she tried to kiss me — I immediately pushed her away — while taking a photo at that event, even if playfully, clearly may have added to the alienation and possible emasculation he may have felt when she spoke to me in a pool at a party when they were together and she was naked. To not be disrespectful to her or to him, I stayed but looked at the sky whilst talking to her). I fired him with cause in December 2021 when he tried to undermine NV. It is ironic that later, he clearly tried to undermine Twitter before buying it, and in my view, blowing it up and using it to manipulate the masses to lean to the far right in country after country, including the USA.

[Here is more detail as some people asked. After he received a press release draft confirming NV never took a penny from the US Government, he asked to be removed from the Business Advisory Board, but then tried to give the stock he bought back, including for no money, which could have completely crashed NV’s stock price. I told him he was fired from the BAB, with cause, as he admitted he had not been participating. That also meant he had no ability to exercise his stock options (years prior, despite not being allowed to discuss his investment because of a solid NDA, he/his people leaked to the press that he had invested twice as much in NV as he actually did, as if the stock options had been counted as stock). This is the email I sent him around that time:

“Elon,

Only one of us apparently knows the difference between Science and PR, and between friendship and phonies, and unfortunately you ain’t it.

Let’s cut ties here.

Your NV stock is not being transferred, and if you try to transfer it without my consent, in contravention of your stock purchase agreement, I will have to shove my boots so deep up your derrière, legally, that your pissing contest with Bezos will seem like it was from another life, one you want to get back to.

Good luck with your implants, all of them, and with building Pottersville on Mars.

Seriously, don’t fuck with me.”

Elon has less than 0.05% of NV and was never a principal or principal investor in NV as was falsely reported by some. I own between 80 and 90%. NV is the most valuable neurotech company in the world and does not regard Neuralink as a competitor because we have an arsenal of patents and introduced our technology to customers in 2009 and furthermore do not view their implantable technology as scalable. Moreover, the company is apparently under investigation regarding statements Elon made to investors and most of Neuralink’s co-founders ditched Elon and the company.]

Elon did two Nazi Salutes.

He briskly extended his right arm at a 45 degree angle, and kept his palm and fingers in full alignment. That’s the textbook definition of a Nazi Salute, which he did twice.

If there were Nazi Salute Olympics, Elon would have taken the Gold Medal.

The question is thus not “whether” he did two Nazi Salutes, but rather “why”.

He did them for five main reasons:

1. He was concerned that the “Nazi wing” of the MAGA movement, under the influence of Steve Bannon, would drive him away from Trump, somewhere in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, rather than in the West Wing which is where he wants to be. He was already feeling raw over the fact that Trump did not follow his recommendation for Treasury Secretary and that the Senate also did not pick his first choice;

2. He was upset that he had had to go to Israel and Auschwitz to make up for agreeing with a Nazi sympathizer online and wanted to reclaim his “power” just like when he told advertisers to “go fuck yourself”. This has nothing to do with Asperger’s;

3. There are some Jews he actually hates: Sam Altman is amongst them;

4. He enjoys a good thrill and knew exactly what he was doing;

5. His narcissistic self was hoping the audience would reflect his abject gesture back to him, thereby showing complete control and dominion over it, and increasing his leverage over Trump. That did not happen.

Bottom line: Elon is not a Nazi but he did give two Nazi Salutes, which is completely unacceptable.

But hey don't worry just let it happen and accept it.

We're cooked. Especially now that he's apparently asked all the FBI leaders to resign by Monday.

No amount of worry will change the outcome at the same time you're coming in here trying to get something done about the thing you don't like. You are literally part of the problem. You are too scared to even comment on current events, equating it to overreacting, but certainly not scared enough to tell faceless people on a forum that they should stop being concerned about something they should be concerned about.

You're a coward, I hope you understand that, and I hope you grow out of it. I hope your eggs, specifically, cost $15/dozen by July.

Honestly it's hard to judge right now, I certainly think the Orange Shithead is going to be worse this time (expecially as he's a spiteful stupid PoS) as he's gotten his Tech Hoes involved but that depends on a number of things including if the Blue States are able to stymie his agenda over the next 2 years till they got a shot at taking back the House and Maybe the Senate. That being said the kind of crap going on is one day going to come to a head and I'd be afraid this will eventually get bloody especially if the military were ever to be spurred into acting on the domestic part of their oath. Honestly the Republicans are primarily to blame for this as they've degenerated from a stupid right wing party of W's era into an outright fascist leaning cult of a party. Dem's also have their share of the blame as well, they should have gone scorched earth on Trump after Jan 6th and that Orange Bastard should have been in jail years ago. Instead they fumbled by appointing Garland and by the time he got off his ass it was too late,now he got back in to cause god knows more damage this time around.

Hell no matter what comes whether they're eventually ejected from office either at the ballot box or through god knows what else the US badly needs structural and political reform to prevent this from ever happening again, a Supreme Court with binding ethic and stringent independent oversight being one, a breakup of the 2 party system is another along with proportional representation across all states as a proper multi party democracy would at least curtail the worst of the crazy elements to fringe parties and term limits for both Senate and Supreme Court positions as well. Repeal of Citizens United and reigning in of the likes Fox News for peddling distorted or false narratives over the years would also be things to be fixed. That and a major overhaul of the education system, America is in the shitter in no small part because of the Stupification of large amounts of people to the point they cannot comprehend what they're even voting for. Also banning of recommender systems on Social Media is another thing, politics has gotten poisoned in no small part thanks to Zuck and Musk peddling their weapons grade bullshit over the last few years on the internet.

Honestly hope on this side the EU is able to start taking serious action when it comes to Trumps bullshit but that fuckwit Elon needs to be made fuck off along with his shitty Swasticars and Xcrements for good. Bad enough him and his friends have fucked up the US but their bullshit games in Germany and elsewhere is likely going to piss off enough on this side to tackle him properly, Twitters already under investigation as it is over his Vatnik Bullshit Peddling over the last 3 years for starters.

I don't eat eggs, so I'll hope they go to $100 a dozen, I don't care. And if I did, hoping they'll get cheaper and complaining about it won't make them cheaper.

Actually that's exactly how shit works.
