That's a really good insight actually. Elon asserting Americans don't have the right skills is in a way less personal than Vivek going after people's culture and upbringing, even if the former called people "subtards."

I can think of a few reasons Elon wouldn't want to reveal that Rajnesh Pundabaaba was running his account (if that's what happened - it could've been 100% him).

One, he's been investigated for financial crimes for "inappropriately" influencing the stock market with his tweets. Maybe the fact that someone else covers for him on X would help his legal protection there, or it could throw a monkey wrench into it.

Two, he loses a lot of the power of X when people assume that an H-1B is tweeting instead of the richest man in the world.

Three, and maybe most importantly, he loses a lot of the Most Interesting Nerd in the World cachet. This is a guy who won't cop to hiring a smurf in PoE and beefs with reaction streamers. If people like Joe Rogan realize he falls a little short of a 13-year old's fever dream of a hero that can design rockets with one hand and world rank in video games with the other while posting dank memes 24/7, that would immensely hurt him.

Now you might say that burning bridges with the online right isn't worth those things, and maybe that's correct, but I could see the cost benefit working out the other way in his mind.

It was pretty obvious that the implied corollary was "while claiming to be a leading online right America First pundit"............

Elon may also have had an Indian running his twitter on Christmas, which would account for "did you make this lie," an oddly jeet-like statement.

Plus he may self-deport to Mars.

Uh, yeah. "Fed" doesn't just mean salaried employee of a 3-letter agency. It also means an informant or CI like mafia members allowed to run their gangs on the orders of the government.

Only a fed would oppose freeing J6 political prisoners. Or say that Kamala Harris is "brat" and her social media was "destroying" Trump, or declare a campaign against Trump for the express purpose of making him lose. The guy is an op designed to capture the radical seething online right and turn their anger in useless directions.

I'm not sure when Nick was turned, but it was around or before when he was filmed yelling at people with a bullhorn to take over the Capitol on January 6th. Ray Epps was a fed who did the same thing (did not trespass, did not assault officers) and even he copped a misdemeanor in the end, but ol Nicky somehow skates without a single charge.

Nick isn't stupid. The only reason he would exhort a bunch of fat boomercons - the people he knows and hates - to entrap themselves in the Capitol for a pointless political stunt is because it would screw them over. He was too smart to be seen anywhere near the building, of course.

Vavra's software probably hasn't been updated since Gamergate v1.5 in 2016 when #NotYourShield was still considered a significant talking point

trump, along with his handlers and friends, put those people in there.

I don't agree with this premise, so that's a non-starter.

Was Trump tactically irresponsible leading up to Jan 6? Yes. Did he intend for people to walk into the Capitol and get jailed? No. It was an incompetent decision, which has been an element of every position of leadership in human history.

Look I think you have a few good points sometimes, but if you're going to countersignal a bunch of innocent people being set free, something's wrong with you

I could see that happening, minus the Ivy Leaguer. The type of guy who changed his name to "Kekius Maximus" is autistic enough to think of this all by his lonesome

The tranny tactical squad that practices in the woods was posted here before. Bunch of dudes with boobs shooting targets and running maneuver drills. Using live ammo is a pretty good standard so sadly, they are probably better than your average AR-15 owner. Probably also worse than right wingers in similar organizations, though.

Occasionally you run into a macho commie that's good at some type of fighting while being antifa, but in my experience the vast majority of them are more bark than bite.

Some right wingers are mad at Elon generating controversy like this, but it might be helpful to inure the public to "everyone I don't like is a nazi" attacks.

Honestly as sad as it is, I think he's gotten away with it. New evidence could always come out, but the wife was effectively isolated from community ties and he bragged about cleaning the crime scene, which apparently worked. Plus Mounties are supposedly terrible cops.

The thing that gets a lot of these guys caught is the police sweating them in an interrogation room and catching lies, but that was never going to work on JF.

They shouldn't have a voice in politics because they have no interest in maintaining a working society

With the left HR is where it usually starts, and HR departments should be aggressively groomed to catch leftist tendencies, and ruthlessly weeded; any outward signs of leftist tendencies should be an automatic pink slip.

HR departments should probably be downsized as much as possible as well, and maybe dividing HR into employees to be subordinate to each department head (i.e. HR employee's boss is Art Director or something instead of Bigger HR Person) might break up its power. Ultimately HR is just helping employees do paperwork so who cares.

It's the same psychology you see in the pampered children of the bourgeoisie who plan to be the thinkers and artists in the new society.

Ultimate form of this: the trust fund kid who obtains a coastal city job paying dirt-eating wages, but he can live off the trust fund while maintaining social prestige.

For instance (can't remember where I read this but), book editors for major New York publishing houses are paid like crap, but a lot of them are children of captains-of-industry types.
