Elon Musk on Joe Biden



Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday on CNBC that President Joe Biden was not a normal human being.

Musk said, Do I believe Biden won? Yes, I believe he won
Host David Faber said, You voted for him?
Musk said, I voted for him.

Faber said, Do you regret that?
Musk said, I mean, man, I wish we could just have a normal human being as president. That is what I want. If we, you know, there is an old saying of, we are better off being wronged by people picked at random from the phone book than the faculty of Harvard. I do not know who said that, but it was somebody very wise. I would say, if we could do that for the president, that would be great.

Faber said, You think we could do that? Obviously, you are not happy with Biden.

Musk said,  Don t we all just want a normal human being?
Some of these executive abilities are underrated. Since the president is the executive office of the country, it actually matters if they are the executive officer.
Musk added, It is not simply a matter of do they share your beliefs but are they good at getting things done. There are a lot of decisions that need to be made every day. Many of them are unrelated to moral beliefs. And you just want a good executive, the CEO of America.

Elon gonna end up like a bunch of other autocratic Icarus.

Probably already saves his piss in jars

The Tragic Irony of the Russian Hoax as endorsed and propagated by the de facto state media.

Donald Trump has been found liable for sexual assault, is under indictment for payoffs to a porn star, and soon may face various federal charges.
But Trump is still beating Biden in  national polls.

Thanks for breaking the news that Musk does not actually run any of his companies or control any of his business interests.

If the hollowness of the Musk empire is bringing you down this should cheer you up,

Trump may need to add Rudy to the ticket in 2024 to boost his chances by looking almost human at least in comparison to his running mate.

National polls mean shit in spring

I have been paying attention, and with regard to some of the most elemental sociopolitical issues of our day, Elon Musk is a relentless moron. Who knew that money and power were not actually good metrics for gauging intelligence overall?

Surprised he claims ignorance. The last President should have disabused Simon of the notion expressed in his last sentence.

RedDick ignores any poll that does not say what he wants it to say.

WASHINGTON  Boiled down, President Biden s argument for running for a second term rather than ceding the ground to the next generation is that he is the Democrat most assured of beating former President Donald Trump next year.

But a striking new poll challenged that case in a way that had much of the capital buzzing the last couple of days. Taken at face value, the poll showed Mr. Biden trailing Mr. Trump by six percentage points in a theoretical rematch, raising the question of whether the president is as well positioned as he maintains.

No single poll means all that much, especially so early in an election cycle, and the Biden strategists as well as some independent analysts questioned its methodology. But even if it is an outlier, other recent surveys have indicated that the race is effectively tied, with either Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump holding narrow leads within the margin of error. Taken together, they suggest that the president opens the 2024 campaign facing enormous challenges with no guarantee of victory over Mr. Trump.

Granted it is from The NY Times, the discredited Gray Lady on the Russian Connection, (while  still clinging to a faux Pulitzer).
But only underscores the Tragic Irony that lying media like the Times(and the Washington Post) are scared shitless of being held accountable if Trump returns to the White House.

Is this a response to someone?

[facilitatorn]

Red will be yammering about how screwed the Democrats are that they cannot run Biden again in five years time.

Red is sweet to be concerned, bless his heart.
