GUESS WHAT: I've only gone and wrote a book!
It's called The Limits Of Genius (in the UK) / Edison's Ghosts (in the US) and it's about all the silliest, stupidest things ever done by history's "geniuses".
Pre-order here and I will be your best friend: geni.us/KatieSpaldingBook

Elon Musk joins the very long list of inventors and entrepreneurs throughout history- including his namesake Nikola Tesla - who prove over and again it’s possible to have some very good ideas but still be horribly wrong about many other things.

For many more examples of stupid genius, check out @supermathskid’s book - which now needs another chapter: google.com.au/books/edition/…

(Obviously the community is not a monolith, but) any trans or non-binary person I have ever met has been amazingly chill and willing to extend grace about pronoun usage - far more than cisgender people who, let's say, have their fetus or pet misgendered
live your life like Ridley Scott, crashing through a History Department at 88 mph telling everybody to "suck it up bitch, I'm here now and I say robin hood was real and the Colosseum was full of sharks"

Harris ad:
Avocado Toast Millennial 1: I hate Amerikkka. Time to vote third party to spite my loving parents.
Avocado Toast Millennial 2: haha yeah (Looks over to Outback Steakhouse across the street and is suddenly overcome with enormity of American Values, ticks Harris box)

It would be funny if the Kamala camp launched one of those "Vote Harris. Nobody has to know." ads but targeted specifically at leftists.

Please understand that this platform is about to become the very least reliable source of information in the aggregate if Trump starts losing tomorrow.
Coup Two requires people to feel "robbed" and Musk is going to go into overdrive making the MAGAs feel that.

Absolutely, your “for you” tab is gonna be a million blue check nazis whining about voting migrants and faulty voting machines and no amount of blocking will matter

if you’re a leftist voting for kamala because of your concern for americans’ reproductive health and freedom, i hope that you will also make a contribution to a woman in gaza in need of those same resources

Oh they got this all screwed up
from Philly courtroom —
Musk lawyer says his $1m giveaway is NOT a lottery. "There is no prize to be won" and winners "are not chosen at random," Musk lawyer Chris Gober said.
Instead, the $1m is a salary they "earn" to be a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC. Winners are picked based on their "suitability to serve" and their personal story, Gober said.
In response, Philly DA team called this a "complete admission of liability" that Musk is running an illegal lottery under PA law.
Remember: When Musk announced the giveaway.... in PA nonetheless.... he said, "we are going to be awarding $1 million randomly." DA showed this in court to the judge.
Gober argued there's a difference between "randomly" and "by chance," which is why he argued that this isn't an illegal lottery under PA gaming laws.
