I misread the headline as "Elon Musk Killed" and I was so happy for a moment.

This is definitely a CEO that needs a visit from St. Luigi.

~~Sweet Mother, sweet Mother~~ St Luigi, St Luigi
Send your child unto me
For the sins of the unworthy
Must be baptized in blood and fear

Tell the Black Hand I'm stealing this.

Bruh the guy is going to jail. You need to call someone else.

Mario? Wario? Waluigi?

This is insane. You know he's just losing his mind over this new found power.

It’d be a real shame if he got Luigied.

There's no way, he's too scared to risk walking around in public without security

Ah. Still too young to know better.

Holy shit. Is this how we get batman?

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

I’ll be honest, I don’t know enough DC lore. Were Batman’s parents power hungry fascists who were handed money from their parents South African emerald mine when they were young?

As they said above

Congratulations to President Musk and First Lady Trump for coming together during these trying times for LGBBQ couples to ruin as many lives as possible.

Lmao this timeline is so deeply fucking stupid

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

I am literally disgusted by this. I feel revulsion.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wow, I am really proud of Musk’s presidential behavior on this. He’s really showing great leadership!

(Tell your friends, it will piss off Trump if Elon gets more praise than him. Get this, we get the rich to eat each other!)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It'll piss of First Lady Trump? Oh no, how awful.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Jeeze president musk is ruining things and he isn't even in office yet

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Umm, the title of this post and the title of the article and not the same:

Elon Musk leads charge to kill spending bill meant to avert government shutdown

What is this about "has killed"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That was the original title under which the article was published. They later changed it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hate it when websites do that. They should be required to state that an article was edited after posting and then provided a link to the original.

[–] Willy 1 points 5 days ago

maybe musk can make that a law. I don't see how it could go wrong.
