The coping has begun.

It's certainly worth noting voter ID has been required in Wisconsin since 2016, the vote last night was just to change it from a law to a part of the state constitution.
 
The popular vote was 52%-48%

That is really concerning wow.
It's not tbh. As we saw in November, a lot of people will vote against their self interest to "own the libs". Considering voting will often skew to the right, I'm curious how many actually showed up to vote, which will give us an indication how far Trump fell.

If anything I'm surprised it was that big of a victory considering once you get out of the southeastern part of the state it's mostly rural farmland (and it seems quite a few think the tariffs will payoff in the long run).
 
If Musk resigns, I'll consider resubscribing to so-called "full" self driving. I find it to be useful, but I canceled to send a message

He's getting ready to leave the government per some reports due to a limit on the number of days he can be involved. All he's got is Tesla, Space X, & Twitter. And even if he steps down, his constant controversial speech on Twitter and in person will continue to affect the Tesla stock regardless b/c people know he'd still be a beneficiary of it even after stepping down.

The board would need him to either stop opening his mouth or remove him from any financial benefit to put Tesla back in the public's good graces.
 
I like how these people still look at themselves as the underdogs, the ones subjugated by the majority - they control all three branches of the federal government....
This is part of the stuff that makes them look particularly fasc-y. They're simultaneously massive underdogs fighting up from the bottom against immense powers, but also the strong and invincible leaders that everyone else bows down to at the mere mention of a threat.

It's complete horsecock that's totally divorced from reality.
 
The grift goes on...

Looks like Elon Musk may be setting up Tesla to “bail out” his private AI company, xAI, which just absorbed Twitter (X), despite xAI having little revenue and a speculative $125B valuation.

This move follows Musk’s history of shifting losses and leveraging Tesla to cover bad bets—like the overvalued $44B Twitter purchase that tanked in value. Now, Musk is inflating xAI’s valuation via a stock-based acquisition of X and may push Tesla to invest in xAI under the pretense of needing AI for its products.

Critics argue this is a self-serving scheme, with Musk regaining Tesla shares he sold to buy Twitter, effectively making Tesla shareholders foot the bill twice. Meanwhile, xAI’s product “Grok” trails far behind industry leaders, raising concerns that this is more about Musk’s control than business value.

 
Elon decided to host a Path of Exile 2 stream on X with the excuse that it was to test Starlink while he was flying on a private jet.

Anyone that reads gaming news semi-regularly, should be aware that Musk thinks himself an elite gamer, yet admits to paying others to play the games for him. The result of this is that Musk doesn't know how to do basic things in game like mute chat, which allows people to send him all kinds of nice messages live in game on stream.

Now I'm not going to promote sending people abusive messages, but some of these messages are just funny!

I wonder how the Saudis and banks will feel about that?

That sounds a lot like Trumps play book, just on the real estate side of things.

I was more amused that this Top 10 POE2 player died so easily because he decided to just stand still and shoot at the enemy. You have to keep moving in these games, but I'm not an elite gamer like Musk I guess.
