    Taxpayers money and governmental resources being used to protect some asshole’s private assets. Musk, as the richest person on Earth, apparently can’t afford private security.

    Why? I thought Trump would love to dismantle the FBI so why help his ‘friend’ Musk? Okay, justice for all so the do well to investigate, but a whole taskforce? Doesn’t sound very doge to me.

      The Orange Cunt has far too few functioning braincells to have any idea what he wants. Make the FBI solve all the problems because thats what they do in the movies and fire every federal employee just for existing are not mutually exclusive concepts when your too narcissistic to tell the difference between your own head and a puppet-hand up your ass.

    So someone already tried to run down the protesters (from the article):

    “The protestors had to move out of the way in order to avoid being struck by the vehicle,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on the arrest of the man, Andrew Dutil.

    Dutil was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

    How is trying to run down humans in a car out truck not an intent to kill?

    Wish there would be a task force, or anyone, looking into these weird cult notes. I found two so far, one tacked to a tree under a leaf on a walking trail and one in my box of granola bars. Literally, In… The… Box. For reference: https://www.axios.com/local/philadelphia/2024/01/23/creepy-notes-crop-up-pennsylvania

      Anyone else who finds it too convenient that qanon started in Trump’s first term and immediately this is gaining prominence? Distraction campaigns clearly work and we really need to prevent these angry boomers yelling at town halls from reverting to being internet conspiracy theorists with this nonsense.

        I’m not posting this because I think it’s a distraction or any kind of psyops campaign. But it’s a little unnerving to think that these people are placing stuff in food and that really doesn’t seem to cause any sort of concern.

          From what I understand, it’s a major felony to tamper with food. The notes are not touching the food, but it certainly isn’t a good feeling that some groyper had their grubby fingers on your purchased product.

    Why do we need a task force when we already know the stock price is tanking, “full self driving” is expensive vaporware, teens are roasting Cybertruck owners1, and even Canadians (!) are vandalizing showrooms?

    Oh, they meant the other way. Sorry, just read the article.

    1 Don’t laugh at this one. The teens eventually come for us all. Do not ask for whom the teen roasts. Teens roasts for thee.
