One of 's hallmarks, even before he became president, was his tendency to treat everyone other than himself as not just beneath him [] but unworthy of distinction & therefore equal in their subservience.

Meaning, he did not differentiate between the Director of the & the head of a supermarket . In his mind they were just people who he thought owed him.

Text Shot: I'm perfectly willing to believe that Musk would risk someone else's life to help him with this nonsense, because he doesn't see other people as real and deserving of compassion or empathy. But he's also profoundly lazy and is accustomed to a world that unquestioningly swallows his most outlandish pronouncements, so Occam's Razor dictates that the most likely explanation here is that he just made it up. The odds that there's a human being beta-testing Musk's neural interface with the only brain they will ever have aren't zero. But I give it the same odds as the Raelians' claim to have cloned a human being

    We’d like to believe his VP & Cabinet would step in & invoke 25A for the good of the country…But…the kind of ofcls attracts…would benefit from a demented president they could…manipulate….

    I thought electing a who idolizes dictators & appears to be loyal to was the worst conceivable outcome for our country, but I was wrong. A malignant narcissist who basically works for is a hundred times worse.
