Oh, this is theater again. The smarter MAGA creeps are doing this to distract the public and government (the parts that can actually do something) from Musk’s influence. They totally want his money and interventions. It’s actually encouraging other tech corporations to give them money as Musk is so dangerous in the field (he’s trying to wipe out OpenAI and has hopes to gain assloads of power with his own AI).
I don’t believe she could have without a massive public backlash (and it more likely an investigation would have been from Biden to do that at this point). It’s ridiculous as we have such a double standard, but one side has been dangerously volatile. Regardless, we’re entering some strange( r ) and potentially (more) dangerous times.
Me, too. It’s very odd Trump got the popular vote. I live in a very red county and saw very few Trump signs this time around compared to 2016 and 2020. I didn’t mean to be paying much attention to Musk, but as I’ve been researching AI I’ve seen enough of his whereabouts prior to his new team-up with Trump to be incredibly disturbed. I think he wants to become a god.
I know most people will write this off as him being an idiot, but I believe he’s doing this to distract from his involvement with the government. It’s all theater to distract us from what he and the politicians he’s heavily involved with are actually doing. Add in his involvement in the tech trade, and it’s actually really disturbing what he may be doing.
If that happens, I don’t think the turnout will be anywhere near the same as it was before.
I’m not. I’m done being scared after the pandemic, but we are careful now. My family continues to mask in indoor public places most of the time—especially if it’s crowded with a bunch of people we don’t know well who have small children. We had COVID over Christmas and New Year after going mask-free in the late fall. I ended up with COVID psychosis in February, and the health effects are still impacting me as a runner/triathlete up to this point in late April. Until more is done to remedy that crap, I prefer not to risk hurting my pulmonary or nervous system again. I’ve had friends who’ve had this thing about 3 or 4 times and dread to think what their brains and hearts are turning into—especially as they age further (we’re in our 40s/50s). I haven’t had a flu in ages so I suppose it works quite well for it, too.
So perfect!
