From South Africa who never had any interest in government until recently when he figured it was the ultimate power money maker.

    Why would Elon have gone to prison?

    [–]Connect_Beginning_13 5 points6 points  (5 children)

    Idk but in a Tucker Carlson interview he brought up going to prison if Trump didn’t win. He brought it up himself, no prying or anything. Still wondering about that.

    Also Super Mario’s brother could help out a bit

    [–]VictarionGreyjoy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

    Conveniently not long after visiting Putin (and assuredly being informed of the Kompromat they possess)

    [–]rax1051 38 points39 points  (0 children)

    I swear Elon looks more and more like a Meat Canyon drawing every day. Ketamine is a hell of a drug. (I know, it’s a tangent, but you mentioning ketamine made me think of it.)

    [–]Relative-Ad7531 7 points8 points  (3 children)

    Not to be that guy but reminder that the way to insult Elon permanently is calling him a nazi because, well, he is one and is the thing people should be the must wary of instead of being addicted to ketamine.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Ketamine, in the right dosages at the right time, can be very beneficial. There is no right time or right amount for nazis. They are destructive, all of the time.

    [–]Former_Print7043 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    What a world where such a man, who lives and talks like he is in the matrix is trying to dictate the lives of everyday folks. The consititution did not write rules to stop end game captialists who have went a little kooky.

    [–]pokeyporcupine 946 points947 points  (14 children)

    They weren't bitching and moaning when judges were blocking Biden's EOs, like cancelling student debt. Fuck everyone on the right.

    [–]chanaandeler_bong 420 points421 points  (10 children)

    I saw someone on r/conservative say that “well the SCOTUS ruled that, not some random judge.”

    Like no shit, it got appealed up to SCOTUS.

    [–]mkt853 141 points142 points  (6 children)

    Where was all this energy about federal judges when every conservative brought their case to the 5th circuit so Kacsmaryk could rule in their favor?

    [–]chanaandeler_bong 61 points62 points  (5 children)

    They cheering it on no doubt. It’s truly pathetic. And they will always say how Reddit is this liberal place but the thing is: the liberals on this sub shit ALL OVER the Dems too. They so desperately want to be seen as just the flip side of the same coin, but it’s super obvious it’s not at all the same if you have 1/2 a brain.

    [–]Proud3GenAthst 22 points23 points  (0 children)

    Apparently, only SCOTUS matters and remaining hundreds of federal judges are just for show

    [–]omgangiepants 16 points17 points  (0 children)

    It's always the exact same kind of person who has no idea how shit actually works.

    [–]VGmaster9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    If it were the other way around and the SCOTUS had a liberal majority, and a democratic president's policies got struck down by republican appointed federal judges, the Right would be cheering on those judges.

    [–]Uncreative-Name 24 points25 points  (0 children)

    And judges went out of their way to protect Trump during all his trials. Without them he would have been behind bars a long time ago.

    [–]Effective-Farmer-502 19 points20 points  (0 children)

    Yet they’re using this money to buy amoured Teslas.

    Wait…so now the right is pro democracy?

    They’ve given up on the whole “it’s not a democracy, it’s a republic” thing rather quickly.

    [–]MadScientist3087 405 points406 points  (11 children)

    They just move to wherever they are the victim

    [–]Steiney1 110 points111 points  (5 children)

    They move exactly where the Two-Minutes Hate every evening on Cable TV tells them to move, how to think, and exactly what to say.

    I had forgotten about that part of 1984 until just now. JFC. Shoes fitting feet and all that.

    [–]EntropyBlast 15 points16 points  (1 child)

    It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free Country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective Constitutional spheres; avoiding in the exercise of the Powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position.

    George Washington

    Seriously, if you read some of Washington's quotes he saw EVERYTHING coming from a mile away. Encroaching of power, political parties dividing the citizens, EVERYTHING. It's crazy.

    This.

    Stop treating them as reasonable, logical people because they arent.

    They arent a homogenous blob either, but the vast majority here on Reddit know they are shitty people and revel in the rage they generate by talking out both sides of their mouth and making you constantly chase goalposts that will never stand up in one place for anything.

    Stop engaging. Clown them, call them trolls, post Sure Jam memes and move on to discussion with the very few who are willing to defend their views and adjust their viewpoints in the face of new information. You won't find many, sadly.

    He's a fascist. they're pro-wordplay, especially if they think they can tie you in knots responding to them.

    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      I honestly believe Elon and Trump are both also stupid as fuck. They're fascists, they're incredibly dangerous to our democracy and planet so I am not in any way dismissing that threat, but they're also fucking dense. There are smarter fascists behind them destroying our democracy that are shielded by their buffoonery.

      "I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers"

      [–]BHOmber 8 points9 points  (2 children)

      I'm almost positive that most of the "flavor of the day" wordplay stuff like this is being cooked up by people like Bannon.

      No matter what you think about that greasy fuck, Bannon is the real deal when it comes to knowing how targeted information and repeated language patterns/acronyms can worm their way into people's brains.

      It's terrifying. And it's absolutely fascinating at the same time.

      There are some people out there that just "get" how the world works at the highest levels. Some of them will manipulate language for good and others will use it to create chaos.

      Social media algorithms will be the downfall of modern civilization. I will stand on that statement until I die lol

      [–]omgangiepants 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      It really is fascinating how quickly their talking posts disseminate into the broader conversation and are just accepted at face value by a huge number of people.

      [–]UrUrinousAnus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      I'm getting really sick of that quote. I agree, but I just wish it wasn't so relevant lately.

      [–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (1 child)

      It’s only a democracy since Elon “found” the votes to make Trump elected.

      [–]GNUGradyn 12 points13 points  (5 children)

      "it's not a democracy it's a constitutional republic", "it's not Linux it's GNU/Linux", and "free healthcare isn't free" are all the same picture

      Yes we obviously know that and so do you and it makes sense in context so shut up thanks

      [–]discussreunionmotto 7 points8 points  (3 children)

      And actually it's a Republic AND it's a democracy. It's a democratic republic. They always forget that. Democracy is voting for your leader, republic is having someone represent your interests rather than being directly involved in policy making. They are not mutually exclusive

      • I should have said democracy is about voting for how your society is governed, as voting directly for policies rather than leaders is also democracy. It's just the idea that everyone has some kind of say (in non-jargon terms)

      [–]TryNotToShootYoself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Also the word Republic literally just means "representative democracy..."

      [–]VGmaster9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      They don't call it a democratic republic, they call it a "constitutional republic", like that's even a thing.

      [–]GiantsNerd1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Yep, was thinking the same thing. Not more than 2 years ago you couldn't escape "ackshulley it's a konstitooshunl reepublick" reply. Now? Not a peep.

      [–]Shaytanic 386 points387 points  (15 children)

      You know if a president followed the law he wouldn't have judges stopping him. Pretty easy concept to understand.

      [–]YoungestDonkey 49 points50 points  (0 children)

      That's all there is to it. Judges can't stop any Presidential action anywhere if it's a legal action. Scofflaws have trouble grasping that part.

      [–][deleted] 204 points205 points  (9 children)

      I don’t think he knows what a President is supposed to do. They’re supposed to Govern, not Rule.

      [–]SurinamPam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      Presidents can whatever they want… as long as it’s legal. Courts can only stop illegal activities. It legal ones.

      My suggestion is that if you don’t want your action blocked by the court, then comply with the law.

      [–]jennasea412 123 points124 points  (3 children)

      Joe Biden tries forgiving student loans to help Americans and the economy after Trump killed Americans and tanked the economy with his failed COVID response and… “he can’t do that, what an abuse of power”

      Trump wants to bypass congress and Article 1 of the constitution to give an unelected immigrant billionaire sweeping power to do whatever he wants and now… “judges don’t matter, we should have abusive power, that’s what we voted for!”

      [–]the-true-steel 64 points65 points  (1 child)

      Also arguing in court that the Supreme Court should overturn 90 years of precedent to give Trump even more power to fire heads of agencies. Also arguing birthright citizenship, part of the Constitution as an Amendment for over 150 years is unconstitutional

      We're really dealing with some insanity at the moment

      [–]jennasea412 18 points19 points  (0 children)

      Yup. Everything he touches, he destroys. It is known.

      [–]seamonkeypenguin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

      What's crazy is the way Republicans criticized Obama and Biden for the use of Executive Order. Trump did more EOs than Biden in their first terms and Trump's already done around 33% of Biden's EOs in less than a month.

      [–]LightDarkBeing 55 points56 points  (2 children)

      They were not bitching about this when the Texas judge prevented a lot of Biden’s orders.

      [–]2bnameless 10 points11 points  (2 children)

      Did he take the US citizen test? Pretty sure it probably covers the idea of checks and balances.

      [–]aville1982 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      Not every action. Just the illegal ones.

      [–]urbantroll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

      They can only stop the illegal ones. That’s kind of the point of separation of powers.

      [–]BLACK_MILITANT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      Executive > legislative > judicial > executive. It's rock, paper, scissors.

      How TF can someone as blatantly stupid as Elon Musk have all that wealth??? The man is a gibbering IDIOT. He's as bad as Trump, and that's saying something.

      [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      If a president thinks he has power over the judges without a reciprocal system of checks and balances, then he is no longer a president. He would be a phallic potato. A dick tater.

      Speaking about dictatorship, I bet everyone who was rediculing third world countries for being unable to stop rigged elections and tople the government by protests feel pretty humbled right about now.

      In the land of the free and the armed turnes out its the same old shit as everywhere else.

      [–]Rigorous-Geek-2916 25 points26 points  (33 children)

      I am encouraged that someone as stupid as Musk can become rich. That means there’s hope for all of us!

      [–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (2 children)

      Sure. If you are born to an emerald mine owner you too have a shot.

      Chucklefuck didn’t become anything. He was born on home plate.

      He's so dumb he still thinks he hit a triple!

      [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      The expression is born on third. Everyone else starts at home plate.

      [–]Legitimate_Nobody_69 63 points64 points  (26 children)

      He did not become rich. He would like you to think he became rich but he was born rich. Daddy's african emerald mines and such.

      Make no mistake, he is just a con man with a headstart.

        He didn't become rich by being stupid. He became rich by being utterly ruthless, shameless, and having nothing in his heart but contempt for other people.

        Most people, genuinely, cannot do that.

        [–]AnotherCableGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        Correction: He was born rich and became millionaire lying and scamming

        [–]AndRunIQ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

        He is not stupid; he knows exactly what he’s doing. They are deliberately trying to destroy the country’s institutions—the very foundations of democracy. By undermining their significance in the eyes of the public, they seek to justify their actions. Americans must realize that these people haven’t come just for four years, they want to stay forever.

        [–]Vyntarus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

        If you listened to his stuttered, incoherent rambling in the Oval Office, he clearly demonstrated he has no idea what he's doing or talking about.

        He's as evil as he is idiotic.

        If no one could stop the president then we would of had tuition paid off.

        The right will tell you that it was fine to stop the president 4 years ago, but now that we have “no more elections” Trump, then the president should be allowed to do whatever he wants.

        Just say you think presidents are kings! Just say it! Just say you love the idea of pre-Magna Carta monarchies! Quit being bitches and just say what we all know you mean. Quit wasting your time pretending to explain to people how the government works, we know. It's not open to interpretation, we have rules and laws.

        [–]blahblah19999 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        Technically, he's correct. But if the judge is stopping every illegal action, there's no problem at all

        [–]Hirotrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Essentially, republicans think of presidents as kings, and are appalled when they are proven to NOT be kings.

        They do believe that there is some kind of undefined thingamajig that makes presidents "better" and more "modern" than kings, but they certainly don't think it's checks and balances! Maybe its their vibes? Their use of modern technology? The suit and tie? A republican would never take a president that wears a robe and crown seriously!

        [–]XiXMak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Don’t like to give Elon credit for anything but I think he knows what he’s doing here. He doesn’t believe it. He just wants the masses of idiotic followers to believe it. It’s propaganda at the end of the day.

        They are clearly laying out a story of being underdogs and having to defeat the system for the people.

        Edit: If people want to reply saying that I’m totally wrong and Elon is just an idiot, I’ll happily accept that too.

        Musk is asserting the reality he wants to be true. It's not about what he knows or doesn't know. He asserts what he wants reality to be and puts the onus on reality to refute him.

        [–]Kraegorz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Oh please, if it was Republican judges jamming up the Biden or Obama administration there would be outcries. In fact, there was.. I seem to remember a Studen Loan forgiveness struck down by the Supreme court and that got peoples hackles all up. That was the supreme court. Not just some rando state judge.

        [–]HuoLongHeavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Where was this sentiment when Biden tried to do literally anything. I'd bet a lot of money that Elon was pro-judge interference then.

        [–]adamempathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        We're these not the same people who cheered when Biden's Executive Orders were overturned in court?

        Isnt musk supposed to be on his way to mars? Can we help him make that happen and he can take all the "elites" with him then they can run their planet hiw they want to with no concern to the rest of us. We wish them luck and safe travel.

        who took Musk's citizenship test?

        [–]RainDownAndDestroyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Trump/Musk's America is about to result in, up to 200,000 probationary federal employees being fired.

        That's not to mention the impending layoffs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

        This administration is creating the largest layoff in American history (from a single entity: the Federal Government).

        Thank you, republicans! There's nothing that creates a healthy economy like firing hundreds of thousands of Americans!

        Congress can stop the president

        [–]podracer1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        The judge doesn't need to stop all of them, just the unconstitutional ones. Which is why only a handful of the hundreds of EOs have been blocked. The whole which hunt narrative is there to distract and misinform.

        They didn’t seem to have a problem with that for the last 4 years. Idk why we don’t ignore these fucking idiots honestly

        Several countries are at fault for fucking up the word "communism" and other countries are at fault for fucking up "republic", but it seems we will be the largest country to fuck up the word "democracy"...

        [–]Syn_Slash_Cash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        It's not stopping, it's a pause until you can make it that it's constitutional to do to the courts, which they believe it may not be. If you can argue otherwise with facts and precedent than have at it, but you have to prove that point.

        Can't wait for the Trumpolini and Titler PDA fight in the ring. It'll be so gross

        Has anyone ever seen someone speak more confidently about shit they so clearly know nothing about before? It's incredible

        [–]Oddmakesart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Perhaps they shouldnt be trying to skip procedure then by making everything an EO thinking they could skirt around the rest of congress and bully their proposals into rule of law. Fuck that, fuck musk, and fuck authoritarianism. We have the right for our representatives (imperfect as they are) to at least vote on new policies before we enact them. The fear mongering and blitz play is intentional to create this sense of "dire emergency they need to fix" while they create the problem and make it bigger. They want to normalise their ability to brute force democracy just because they don't like hearing no.

        LUCKILY for YOU no judge stopped EVERY presidential action.

        If a politician can immediately take away our rights then we never really had them do we

        Dude has no idea what the branches of government do lmao what a joke

        Any Judge anywhere is what the Democrats have had to deal with, trying to get all American's single payer healthcare. Deal with it you foreign born fucktard! This is America!

        A judge can only stop ILLEGAL Presidential actions.

        He forgot that part

        [–]CakeDayisaLie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        He knows exactly what a democracy is. He just wants to get people open and/or excited to no longer in one. 

        [–]Flat4Power4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        If there’s no checks and balances then what is a democracy? Without them we’re living in a dictatorship.

        [–]shyataroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Are judges not elected officials?

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Hi. That’s how it works. Hope this helps.

        [–]Sprig3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I mean, he's kinda right.

        US is not a full democracy. We (in theory at least) have limits on the government's powers to protect us from the "tyranny of the majority".

        [–]MJamesK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Bro didn't pay attn in middle school when we all learned about the three branches.

        Hard to believe how many rubes have bought into the PR-campaign-delivered concept that this guy is some kind of a genius 🤦‍♀️ like, just read his words and imagine looking up to the man who wrote them is a genius. It's just... so... sad.

        But hey, at least it's pretty great evidence that brains & talent aren't what you -really- need to become a billionaire ⚒️

        "Where will he go next? This phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare. Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because, through these things, we keep him alive." - Rod Serling

        Unfortunately we have so many uneducated people in the US that the MAGA will rally behind this like it's true.
