  • Musk doesn’t have an engineering degree. He’s a clown with an economics degree that wrote spaghetti code for Paypal so bad, they gave him forked code to play with. When he found out, he demanded the real code and they would undo all his commits after he was done. He was ousted by Peter (delusional sociopath) Thiel when he went on his honeymoon and given a hefty number of shares to compensate. Dude has been failing upwards his whole life, a millionaire from birth, white South African Apartheidist. In the reveal for the Cybercuck he says regenerative breaking “Means you’ll never have to buy break pads again.” This guy doesn’t understand how friction works. He is literally just a rich kid from birth, with no background, or understanding of physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, or government. He’s Peter Thiel’s pet retard who just lies about his accomplishments and surrounds himself with yes men, who agree with him and blow smoke up his ass:

    1. Because He is desperately insecure

    2. Because he has money

    He does not have an engineering degree, that’s why his shit rockets blow up all the time.



  • Obviously, because Brexit was just fueled by lies and propaganda spread on Meta platforms and twitter to fuel enough anti-european sentiment to leave the Union. They appealed to their sense of “greatness” with disinformation in order to separate one of the only nuclear powers there and the most militarily prepared. UKIP gets their money from the same place all the far-right groups all over the world do. The Heritage Foundation. That’s what all the talk about invading Canada and Greenland is about, split NATO forces so there’s less support for Ukraine.



  • From The Wikipedia Page: The Monkees were originally a fictional band created for the NBC television sitcom The Monkees. Dolenz, Jones, Nesmith and Tork were cast to portray members of a band in the sitcom. Music credited to the Monkees appeared in the sitcom and was released on LPs and singles beginning in 1966, and the sitcom aired from 1966 to 1968. At first, the band members’ musical contributions were primarily limited to lead vocals and the occasional composition, with the remaining music provided by professional songwriters and studio musicians. Though this arrangement yielded multiple hit albums and singles, the band members revolted and, after a brief power struggle, gained full control over the recording process in 1967. For two albums, the Monkees mostly performed as a group; however, within a year, each member was pursuing his own interests under the Monkees’ name, rendering the Monkees once again a group in name only. With widespread allegations that the band members did not play their own instruments—followed by the cancellation of The Monkees TV series, diminishing success on the charts, and waning popularity overall—band members began to leave the group. The Monkees held a final recording session in 1970 before breaking up.

    Nesmeth Lying about outselling The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in 1967: https://flashbak.com/in-1977-mike-nesmith-fooled-the-world-when-the-monkees-sold-more-records-than-the-beatles-and-rolling-stones-combined-386535/

    Bubblegum pop band has marginal success as a TV show, turned band. Take control of their recording and arranging, careers fall apart. Hey Hey you’re a Monkee



  • Yeah, no. They were entirely a product, based on The Beatles Success. Drummer couldn’t even play any instrument before they went on tour.

    In 1967, they outsold both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, so they’re not nobodies.

    Yeah and Justin Bieber’s early music outsold Outkast.

    You can like corporate produced slop, targeted to get mass mainstream appeal. That’s what it’s for that doesn’t make it good though. Case and point, approach a stranger on the street and ask them to name as many songs by The Beatles, or The Stones, or The Kinks and then the Monkees and see what has actual staying power because I guarantee you it’s not The Monkees. Music is the most invasive artform in the world, you don’t get a choice, out in the world if people are playing something you don’t like. That’s why people galvanise so strongly around likes and dislikes. It’s not I don’t care for U2, it’s I hate U2 and vice versa. You subconciously redirect your emotional state at the time, onto the music you listen to. Why do you think so many dudes wind up listening to the music their Parents liked as they get older, it reminds them of better times. Mass appeal in the short term is strictly for profit. That’s what The Monkees were for. We don’t have to debate this, we all know this and record companies have been buying their own songs to make them number 1 since the beginning of Tin Pan Alley. So, they outsold The Beatles one year, means nothing. There are people born within the last 20 years that can sing along to the entire tracklist of Sgt. Pepper’s. Which came out 50 years before they were born. But you’re a Monkee, so of course you’ll Monkee around.
