Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, I think the fact that they were running stories on the seedier side of the tech industry created a bunch of contacts and background knowledge which made a lot of this reporting possible.
I have to imagine that photo was made to look like that on purpose. But it is somewhat unnerving that someone can look like that.
That's what happens when you have an unlimited plastic surgery budget and have forgotten what the uncanny valley looks like.
Then he needs to fire his surgeon, as they’re doing a really shitty job.
But, and hear me out, what if he likes that he looks that way? He's already removed his own humanity through greed, why continue to look human?
Loved the cyber truck so much he needed to look like it
All that money and he can’t pay someone to give him a beard that doesn’t look like glued on pubic hair
If these cock knuckles ruin my country I am going to be mad, if they ruin doge I am going to be really mad.
Edit: I made a bad joke about what makes the grass growing greener and decided it was irresponsible so I changed it.
I think i recognize one of them as the kid who jumped on the McDonalds counter and screamed 'I'M PICKLE RICK' during the sechuan sauce incident
"The Recruitment Effort that helped build Elon Musk's [illegal] DOGE Army"
They forgot a word
That picture makes him look like an alien from Mars Attacks.
