His big thing is solar because he seems to think it's free and less hassle than nuclear.
No, it's because Elon is grifting off of solar/battery subsidies. Solar and wind are the most expensive forms of energy by far because they're unreliable and require a dispatchable power source (i.e. fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro, etc.) to back them up. This of course begs the question, if I have to build a backup plant, why would I not just use it all the time and not waste money on the solar/wind farm?
I'd rather have nuclear but Trump isn't pushing it and instead says coal is the way for some reason.
Trump is pushing nuclear as well. He's an all-of-the-above guy when it comes to energy.
 
Elon’s platform:
  • Infinite H1Bs to maximize efficiency (according to him)
  • Birth rate sperging
  • EV vehicle mandates
  • Increased use of AI for efficiency (when it’s actually to save money and cut corners)
  • Increased government funding for SpaceX
  • Foreign policy based entirely on what would increase Elon’s profits, and will change on a whim
  • Legalize ketamine
  • Government subsidized hair transplants for men
  • End child support
  • Subsidized eugenics
  • Legalized polygamy
  • Establish DefenseX to profit on military contracts by producing EV tanks.
  • Establish an American foreign legion so he can make up manpower shortages with Indian H1Bs
  • Use DC as a test bed for his city planning ideas he cooked up on a drug bender like this:
 
How many times do we have to say it? These fucking bean niggers wont even learn ENGLISH. What makes you think they give a shit about you and want to be your comrade in arms? They are USING YOU.

To my more evolved friends:

Happy Belated 4th. I love fireworks and I love annoying the pencil necks crying about them online!
 
The reason is that new left won, the old left lost and is never ever coming back. Modern old leftism just comes across as cargo culting a long dead religious sect. Look at our resident GDR enthusiast for example. @Agamemnon Busmalis what do you think. Why did the new left win over the old left?
It's honestly a complex answer.

First and foremost, money. The new left was backed by wealthy elites that saw opportunity in ostensibly left-wing policies for their benefit - see the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that opened the floodgates of immigration and thereby destroyed national cohesion and identity in favor of a vague idea of "America" that means nothing but a special economic zone at the expense of American workers. Or the warmonger LBJ's "Great Society" programs, that allowed corporations to underpay and exploit workers and push the costs onto the people with no accountability.

Culture wars and racial issues were also a convenient distraction from class issues during this same period, and always get whipped up by the new left whenever the latter come to the forefront. It's no coincidence all this kicked off in recent history during the Great Recession.

The "cargo cult" aspect for us is just nostalgia for a time where a cohesive national and cultural identity led to a sense of community, great collective accomplishments and economic and personal security as well as state power to defend it. Not really different from people on the right and Tsarist Russia, the interwar fascist states, or the 1920s/1950s USA (among others) depending on their particular beliefs within their side of the continuum...people desire a sense of community when their sense of identity is threatened. Ironically it's very reactionary by definition.

Now there is no real opposing force against the exploitation of globalist capitalism, just a disorganized populist pushback similar to the latter Gilded Age. A good start, certainly, but it requires something much more concrete and abandoning the myths of capitalism to achieve real change. It's not a coincidence the AfD's power base is in the former East Germany.

It's interesting watching the ConInc. people now trying to latch on to MAGA and pretend they're defenders of the faith when they would have jumped over to Musk's Gay Party if he didn't have his tard-out last month.

CAFE is also pretty much dead. BBB took away the penalties for not meeting fuel efficiency standards and Tesla makes a lot of money selling regulatory credits to other auto companies like how Catholic priests used to sell indulgences.
 
For some reason I thought the EV stuff was why he had the spat with Trump on X but I might be misremembering. If that's the case then my bad, my memory was off.
It was the EV gibs AND the solar gibs as well. Not sure why he didn't do the the Thiel/Palantir stuff, they are shaping up to be a serious defense contractor.
 
He could had made so much with Starlink/spaceX, and he literally was. This fuckign faggot Elon very much might have burnt it all down just because of his retarded ego.
I think Elon has his head too far up in his asshole. He doesn't seem to understand politic is not business or venture. It's a fucking kill or not be killed.

Or we are just witnessing a fake drama between trump and musk and they are playing 10d chess.

Give me a quick rundown on the CAFE specifics, I've had a grudge against that law for a while and eagerly await the return of the small car. Has it been reduced to reasonable levels?
 
EV vehicle mandates
The horrifying thing about Tesla is if you look at the time, expense and hassle that he’s gone through, plus the ecological damage that lithium mining does… if he’d pumped all those resources into hydrogen fuel cells refillable from solar-powered home stations, he’d likely have 30+ percent of the domestic car market by now. Imagine vehicles that produce zero pollution and run on the equivalent of a quarter per gallon.

For years, ‘fringe’ scientists and conspiracy scholars have talked about the killing of the ‘water powered car’ and the mysterious death of Stanley Meyer, its inventor. Musk could have picked up that opportunity and for the life of me I will never know why he didn’t.

Apparently Toyota is abandoning battery and hybrid EVs and aiming to move to hydrogen in the next 5-10 years. Elon could have stolen the march on them but was too busy slamming toad skins and ayahuasca and impregnating weird chicks.

looks like we're finally about to get those government mandated goth GFs, boys! USA! USA! USA!
  1. Good, about time.
  2. My wife is going to be pissed.
  3. Do we get to pick ethnicity? In the name of diversity I’ll take a Japanese.
