And yet, Elon Musk has now bought twitter and is turning it into a farce of itself.
Listened to this with my mom. She got mad when the guest suggested socialists become republicans lol
I'm pretty sure that by the time you could make any meaningful headway with in the Republican party you would get a repeal of Roe V Wade and thousands of dead LGBT people and then even at that I think its a coinflip to determine if what you get out the other end is not just diet strasserites.
I love Wendy! I was thinking about her only the other day. Thank you! 馃挏x

No I think we were saying that his intentions are irrelevant and what it does is irrelevant. He could be trying to do something good (he isn鈥檛) the problem is one of power and control. Sorry if that didn鈥檛 come across!
no apology necessary, I just wanted to put emphasis on the billionaire grift going on.
Jack didn't give any money away, he just setup his own Gates Foundation that promises to spend any potential capital gains towards select philanthropy while giving him a massive tax break.
Yes that鈥檚 what we said, no?
