  • We haven’t heard much from him over the past few weeks, and now we get this earnings call, and it is far worse than expected. He’s known this was coming, and has been laying low, probably hoping things will improve some before making what he knows will be a disastrous earnings call. Its the equivalent of watching your diet 3 days before a doctor’s appointment, hoping your weight gain and cholesterol increase won’t be as bad as you know it is.

    Also, it’s a safe bet that his board of directors is livid, and that he has been ordered by his board to get back to work, or be removed as CEO of Tesla.

    There is almost certainly a shareholder class-action suit brewing over his reckless and irresponsible behavior over the last several months, which has directly caused severe, and probably irreparable damage to the company’s brand image AND it’s sales around the world, as well as tanking the stock price, an unforgiveable sin in the investing world. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. As future earnings reports are released, and sales continue to slide, the stock will continue to decline, and the cycle will continue until bankruptcy. And it is all traceable to Skum’s self-indulgent, egotistical behavior.

    The only question is will Skum be the only defendant, or will the lawsuit also name the individual members of the board, for not reigning him in, or firing him. They don’t want to be sued alongside him, so they are forcing him to get back to work saving Tesla, thus letting them off the hook for legal liability.

    Its doubtful Skum will be able to save Tesla at this point, its almost certainly too late. It is also probably too late to avoid a shareholder lawsuit. Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum’s outrageous behavior, like throwing up celebratory Nazi salutes on national TV, which, as CEO, he should have realized would damage his company and its investors significantly.

    And arguing that he didn’t recognize the danger in advance is no excuse at all for a CEO, who should have been able to predict the response to his self-indulgent ego bender.

    Shareholders have lost many millions, and they won’t just let that go with an “Oh well.” He’s likely going to get sued, and the board is just making sure they don’t go down with him.








  • Trump has signed an executive order to build a 30,000 bed detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, and a $249 million contract has already been awarded. It is due to be complete in 2030, but it will open in stages.

    For context, the average maximum security prison in America is about 800-1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, is about 8300. That means this new detention facility will be almost 4 times larger than our current largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

    Its also going to be on a foreign island, surrounded by a (supposedly) hostile foreign nation, far from the prying eyes of the media or the courts.

    So who do they intend on putting in there? He is making it crystal clear that whoever is destined for Camp Gitmo will NOT be recieving trials, or anything resembling Due Process.

    Our first concentration camp is being constructed as we speak, Google it.


  • In 1936, three years after taking power, the Nazis ordered families with a mentally or physically handicapped person to send them to nearby hospitals for the best treatment. Soon after, they started receiving letters that their loved one had passed away.

    The first to notice the pattern was the clergy, who realized that the families in their congregations who had vulnerable members were ALL getting these letters, and they rightfully concluded that a euthanasia program was going on.

    Many spoke out from the pulpit, demanding an end to this atrocity, and Hitler responded, saying he was shocked at this revelation, and promising to end it. He didn’t, of course, he just buried it, expanded it, and evolved it into the Holocaust.

    To Nazis, the best way to reduce the statistics of autistic people, is to reduce the numbers of autistic people, and the first step in doing that is to compile their names.

    Of course, the real issue is HOW are they going to reduce the autistic population? Considering how much MAGA openly admires the Nazis, it’s not hard to make an educated guess.



  • I’m getting pretty old now, and throughout my life, whenever ive met people who were immigrants, I’ve asked them about their immigration story. Why did they come here? Some were escaping a bad place, a bad government, war, etc. Others were chasing a dream. Some were just trying to make enough money to keep their family alive back home.

    The main reason ive asked, is because i could never be that motivated to leave America I might visit other places, but not only could i not summon the kind of courage it would take to go live in a foreign place, i wouldnt want to. Ive loved America, and it’s history, even with all of its ugly chapters.

    But now that’s changed profoundly. My family has been having serious talks about leaving. My wife has been seriously researching potential countries to move to.

    Frankly, i doubt anyone would take us. There will soon be a flood of Americans begging to get into any other country who will take them, and countries will be cherry-picking the most useful, and tossing back the rest. I have a small business that i could easily transfer to anywhere in the world, but we aren’t rich, and we don’t have special skills that are in demand. We probably wouldn’t make the cut.

    And if we could get to another country, we’d likely be treated by their citizens the way immigrants are treated here - discriminated against, taken advantage of, abused by the authorities, employers, landlords, etc.

    Might as well just stay here, and ride it out. At my age, I’ve been wrapping my head around the idea that my story is going to have a twist ending, and is going to go down a path I never expected. I can be passive, and let the MAGA Nazis choose my path, or i can be proactive, and choose a path that defies them.

    If I’m going down, I’m going down swinging.


  • The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He’s truly revolting to anyone who sees him.

    All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. I’ve heard his dick doesn’t work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.

    So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they’ll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he’s so fucking wierd.

    It fills me with such glorious schadenfreude to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying “Money can’t buy happiness.”

  • Oh, I’m well aware.

    The destruction of that building facade was even worse than that. When it became clear that he wouldn’t preserve the facade, there were many that were willing to pay to remove iconic architectural/ 1sculptural elements and send them to museums, but he ordered his construction crew to simply destroy them.

    As a person whose job partially consists of brand marketing, I see that as a great marketing opportunity for his brand image that he absolutely blew. He could have played along, let those architectural elements be removed to museums on someone else’s dime, as he stood out front, bloviating to the media that he is so proud to be the leader in preserving the iconic architectural history of the great city that he loves so much, and improving his standing with the city and its citizens. Instead, it was just “Fuck it, just destroy it all.”

    And yeah, I’m well aware of his past, like his demand that the “Central Park Five” be executed, and when they were fully exonerated of the crime, he STILL insisted they be executed. It was then that I knew this psychopath could never be allowed to hold public office.

    Now he’s sending innocent people to a torture gulag in a 3rd world country without Due Process, and people are surprised that he won’t lift a finger to correct their “administrative mistakes.” History rhymes again.
