Elon Musk: Always A Douche

Texas Election Code, Art. 276.001 prohibits anyone from directing another person how to vote and from asking how the person voted.  The statute specifically prohibits one who has "authority in the scope of employment" from telling another how to vote.  That means employers.

Like billionaire snowflakes care.

Too bad we didn't have that same law in Quebec.  We could have jailed Laurent Beaudoin back in '95.  And a lot of Libs' supporters.  Drain the swamp as they say.

So, I think it's been the last couple years I got into Twitter.  I actually posted a little bit until I got told from my employer not to reveal what my job was (I thought I was just presenting a counter-point to the opposing side, but I do what I am told).

But I'm just astonished how much 100% unapologetic racist shit is showing up in my Twitter feed these days.  Like it's not just a tiny bit.  Like 100% either scientific racism or "great replacement theory" kind of stuff.

I still kind of like what Twitter can do at its best - present a news feed into breaking stories - but it is really kind of hard to swallow the rest of what comes with it.

I've said it before, but it does increasingly seem China had the right idea with their tying of social media to actual IDs.
Abused to hell for dodgy purposes in their case but done by a free country with democratic sensible laws being all that are enforced!

I am glad as hell that all the dumb shit I said on the internet is thankfully 99% anonymous.

I have already warned my son about going full Fireblade online with it likely to follow him around his whole life.

There are two baseball analysts that I follow that post on twitter.  Otherwise, I would have ditched it completely as substack covers just about everything else of interest, with much more substance and much less stupidity.

If you knew it was going to be tied to you would you have said such shit though?

Then theres the right to forget laws.

Though for sure I absolutely couldn't be a politician due to stuff said online.
Probably so many examples I can't even remember, maybe where nothing bad was actually meant even, but out of context by enemies... Oh shit.

For a man whose businesses are so dependent on the government (Tesla on EV tax breaks, SpaceX on NASA contracts) you'd think he'd be a lot less partisan in his social media presence...

[Darth Wagtaros]

WHy? It just provides him with more outrage porn to share to his fans.

Mastodon is for this.

How are illegal immigrants going to be able to vote?

Is there any issue regarding the border and immigration where they don't just make shit up?

How are illegal immigrants going to be able to vote?

You don't have to show proof of citizenship when your register or when you vote.

Oh fuck that. Well sure because unless you are one of the 40% of Americans that actually have a passport there doesn't exist any proof of citizenship. It is rather hard to require people to present a document that does not exist. But there are other ID and residency requirements.
