That's a PR stunt; I doubt he has the cognitive faculties to follow a book that thick anymore. Thomas the Tank Engine is more his speed.

He doesn't even know where he is

What a fucking poser, pretending to read a conspicuously "well loved" Marxist book just for a photo op to try and get under Elon Musk's skin.

She continued, “Full disclosure I’m still living with e and I am not a communist (although there are some very smart ideas in this book -but personally I’m more interested in a radical decentralized ubi that I think could potentially be achieved thru crypto and gaming but I haven’t ironed that idea out enough yet to explain it. Regardless my opinions on politics are difficult to describe because the political systems that inspire me the most have not yet been implemented).”

This has always stuck in my head. Sounds like a bad kids cartoon title.

My cousin tried go get me into some bullshit crypto game scheme. "Oh, you like video games? Well I've got a game for you."

Right? As a rule, I give critical support to anyone who tries to cause Elon Musk to suffer but in this instance I'm making an exception.

I hate how much of a scumbag Elon Musk is towards Grimes and especially how he has weaponised custody over C-3PO by lowkey kidnapping the kid but it brings me absolutely no joy to say that I agree with Elon Musk and I wish that Grimes would just shut up and go away, though we have arrived at this position from very different routes.

Poor guy, he thinks his campaign is still going. Someone should remind him it's over, he lost.

This is the DNC Israel-Palestine compromise for their lib fans; Israel gets over $20 billion in weapons and Palestine gets him to read a book....more than a year after the genocide started.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago

Someone chose this book out for him and laughed their asses off.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago

I refuse to believe he can read
