His act kinda resembles a guy who would have had a burnout, but keeps going with amphetamine. Not sleeping at nights, unable to concentrate, arbitrary snap decisions, slowly loosing sanity, illusions of grandeur, common ideological ground with Trump, etc. Decade of that and he'll be Trump.

Oh shit it hadn't occurred to me that the logical end state for Elon is running for president

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Born outside the USA, so Elon can't run for president.

I‘m so glad this is the case.

Alternate reality: Schwarzenegger wins 2016 election, by 2024 we have M4A and nationwide high-speed rail.

Not yet, but he's already eyeing a role in government. Wouldn't surprise me if he eventually manipulated Trump into creating a special class of immigrant citizens who receive naturalization because of "service to the nation" granted by the president or some such.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Wasn't he on some sort of advisory committee during Trump's first term? My memory is that they disbanded basically because it was a waste of time, for obvious reasons. Let me search...

Yes, he was.

Since when has a trivial thing like "the law" stopped him from trying to do something he wants?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's not "the law". That's "the Constitution"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And everyone knows that can't be amended.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It certainly can be, but it's such a high bar to get over that these days I'm not sure there will be another amendment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What is the constitution if not a law?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

In the strict legal sense it is not the law, it is the document that defines how laws are created.

Let's be real, it's the only reason he didn't run against Trump in the primary

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

His goal is but another amendment away.

This is getting out of hand! Now there are TWO of them.
