How to ruin your electric car business by Elon Musk

How to ruin your electric car business by Elon Musk

1. Before ruining your business, first build a brand that appeals to a forward-thinking customer base.

2. Spend years raising your profile and make your own name and reputation synonymous with your products.

3. Once you dominate market share, wait for other companies to ready themselves before making your move.

4. Now search for a completely different business to distract you from your core electric vehicle business.

5. Buy a business that can inflict as much damage to your brand and your reputation as possible.

6. A social media platform would be ideal to turn into a cesspool of hate that can turn off potential customers.

7. To do this, declare yourself a “free speech absolutist,” cut staff, and scrap content management standards.

8. Start a war with advertisers to publicize that you are fighting for racists, neo-Nazis, and traitors to have a voice.

9. Declare yourself a hardline political partisan to alienate the political group that is more likely to buy EVs.

10. With all this damage done, sit back and relax while rival companies like Fisker, Rivian and Lucid take your market share.

Use of the N-word increases by 500% in Elon Musk's new cesspit of hate.

After self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk closed the $44 billion deal on Twitter, anonymous accounts set about testing the limits of the social media platform's moderation policies, The Washington Post reported.

The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a research group that analyzes social media content to predict emerging threats, said that use of the N-word on Twitter increased by nearly 500% in the 12 hours immediately after Musk's deal was finalized.

Walgreens official policy gives employees the freedom to be bigoted towards customers.


A pair of customers shopping at the chain pharmacy Walgreens are crying foul after an employee cited their religious beliefs to justify not selling them condoms.

NBC News reports that Wisconsin resident Nathan Pentz earlier this month was left astonished when he learned that not only did a Walgreens employee refuse to sell him and his partner condoms on "religious grounds," but that such actions were permitted by Walgreens.

A spokesperson for Walgreens said that it was important for the company to have policies that both benefit customers while at the same time respecting workers' religious liberty.

"Our policies are designed to ensure we meet the needs of our patients and customers while respecting the religious and moral beliefs of our team members," the spokesperson said.

"Woke" criticism of movies is coded language for bigotry.

I just saw a review on YouTube of a trailer for the new Pinocchio movie, saying how much outrage there is that it is so "woke." Their problem seems to be that there is a black fairy godmother. They are sick! Instead of hiding behind the word "woke," they should just come out and say, "I'm a racist!"

Putin plots revenge for US Ukraine support by helping to install Comrade Trump in 2024

The time is coming “to again help our partner Trump to become president,” state TV host Evgeny Popov recently declared. On Thursday’s edition of the state television show The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev, Putin’s pet pundits offered an update on plans for 2024.

“We’re trying to feel our way, figuring out the first steps. What can we do in 2023, 2024?,” Russian “Americanist” Malek Dudakov, a political scientist specializing in the U.S., said. He suggested that Russia’s interference in the upcoming elections is still in its early stages, and that more will be accomplished after the war is over and frosty relations between the U.S. and Russia start to warm up. “When things thaw out and the presidential race for 2024 is firmly on the agenda, there’ll be moments we can use,” he added. “The most banal approach I can think of is to invite Trump—before he announces he’s running for President—to some future summit in liberated Mariupol.”

Dmitry Drobnitsky, an omnipresent “Americanist” on Soloviev’s show, suggested that Tulsi Gabbard should be invited along with Trump. Dudakov agreed: “Tulsi Gabbard would also be great. Maybe Trump will take her as his vice-president?” Gabbard has recently become a fixture of state television for her pro-Russian talking points, and has even been described as a “Russian agent” by the Kremlin’s propaganda machine.

Petition Demanding Switzerland to Expel Putin's Lover. This is what I think they should do with her.

IMO, they should send her to the Ukraine or at least make Putin think she is there. Then he will never know if the next bomb or bullet by Russian forces is going to kill her.




Petition demanding Switzerland to expel Putin's 'lover' hits 63,000 signatures

Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, is believed to have been sent to a private chalet in Switzerland earlier this month as Putin continues to wage war in Ukraine.

Kabaeva is widely believed to be the Russian strongman's mistress and mother to four of Putin's children whom he has never officially recognised.

A petition, launched by citizens in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine two weeks ago, has called for Swiss authorities to kick Kabaeva out of Switzerland and deport her back to Russia.

The appeal, which describes Kabaeva as the 'favourite wife of the delusional dictator and war criminal Putin', has since reached over 63,000 signatures, Daily Mail reported.

Traitor Trump: There's "a lot of love" behind Putin's efforts to make "his country larger."


Trump Says 'Lot of Love' Behind Putin Wanting to 'Make His Country Larger'

Trump discussed the conflict during an appearance on Fox News host Jeanine Pirro's radio show Sunday. He said he believes Putin's ultimate goal is to eventually rebuild the Soviet Union, and he went on to explain what he believes to be Putin's mindset.

"You say, what's the purpose of this? They had a country. You could see it was a country where there was a lot of love and we're doing it because, you know, somebody wants to make his country larger or he wants to put it back the way it was when actually it didn't work very well," Trump said.

Some critics, however, took issue with Trump's use of "a lot of love," pointing to the widespread destruction and thousands of casualties the invasion has caused in Ukraine.
