    They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.

      Just change every “X of Y” to “X of America.”

      Then we’ll change the X, also to “America.”

        That (if taken literally)… would also make Elon “the CEO of America”.

    No, see y’all’ve got it backwards. It’s the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of the United States of America. He’s making it more inclusive!

    When they do it, We need to encourage people to report it as incorrect information. If everyone does it then it may be enough for show we don’t want this and don’t want to be seen as the fools the White House actually is.

    Wow. I did not expect to see the current amount of boot licking by big tech and practically all of the tech-bros. This can’t be good. They certainly expect to get something in return from the current administration. Likely some dystopian end-stage capitalism?!

        I don’t think it’s quite end stage yet. There is still some room left to become worse. Some freedoms left and some money in the pockets of regular people.

          This is mid stage at best. We could be ultra taxed down to pennies as a civilization, and I don’t fully mean taxes just cost of living/food, cost of goods, medical, etc. Living like the movie Elysium.
