People LOSE THEIR MINDS every time Elon says HITLER was a SOCIALIST
“That’s not real socialism,” they say. “It was just in the name.”
Except Hitler kept calling himself a socialist.
The party was literally the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Their official program called for nationalizing trusts, profit-sharing, ending “unearned income,” land reform, and putting the common good above the individual.
Once in power they ran the economy with price controls, directed production, and a 4-Year Plan that subordinated private companies to the state’s goals.
They just redefined socialism as racial solidarity instead of class war, then purged the actual leftists inside the party who took it too seriously.
That’s not a gotcha. It’s literally what they did.
And the operating system is still running:
They capture language so words only mean what the movement needs them to mean. They sort people by group identity and treat the other side as the enemy, not someone to persuade. They run purity spirals where the most extreme enforcer wins. They elevate lived experience or the anointed voice over evidence.
They demand the whole person (speech, associations, conscience) for the collective. Individual rights exist only so long as they serve the cause.
Same pattern. Different branding. That’s the case.
Learn your history people.

Damn! I just realized why I need to go to Mars.
On Mars, I'm only a little over 37 years old! Woo hoo!
C'mon Elon, we can't waste too much time getting there old I'll be old again...

On December 1, Elon and SpaceX officially start building Terafab, the biggest building in human history.
Without it, there's no city on Mars.
A 100 million square foot chip factory in Grimes County, Texas (near College Station), more than 5 times the size of the largest building on Earth today.
- At least 2.5 miles long
- Nearly 3 Central Parks under one roof
- Brings its own power, off the Texas grid
- Every chip factory on Earth combined makes about 2% of what Elon needs
- Each year's chips will need twice the power of the entire US
- Chips for 1 billion Optimus robots, plus Cybercab, Grok and self-driving Teslas
- About 80% of the chips go to space
- The Moon: a city first, plus a magnetic rail that launches AI satellites into deep space
- Mars: robots land first to build, then people, in roughly 5 to 7 years by Elon's count
No chips, no robots. No robots, no city on Mars.
Most people would shrink the plan to fit the supply chain. Elon builds his own.
The next step to Mars isn't a rocket. It's a factory in Texas.

Michael perhaps does not understand that the Bill of Rights was never meant to be an exhaustive list of all freedoms enjoyed by citizens. It is a limited list of examples.
The Constitution is a document that limits government, it does not "grant rights" to the population. If the power is not specifically granted to the government in the Constitution then the government has no ability to make laws restricting it.
The right to self defense is a natural right -- a right enjoyed by every living thing on God's green earth. It continues whether it is enshrined in the 2nd amendment or not.
(Yes, I know how the Commerce Clause is used as a "cheat code" to allow federal regulation of EVERYTHING but in my view that is clearly unconstitutional. Someday we'll get a SCOTUS with the stones to rule that way.)
I’m starting to realize the self-driving personality of my new Tesla is kind of an asshole. She wants to climb in the fast lane on I-35 and camp there going 75. No! Bad girl! Other than this she’s pretty much perfect.
We need to stop these trick questions from being asked on X. Everyone knows there's no such thing as "leftover bacon."
I’m not ready to convert to a Tesla as my only vehicle. I still drive long distances and occasionally pull a trailer. My route doesn’t have enough Superchargers to make it work.
So I had an idea… Why not buy a Cybercab when it comes out? I could use it whenever I need it, then turn it loose to pick up rides the rest of the time. I don’t have garage space for it but it’ll be out there being a hoe and picking up riders all night anyway.
But here’s a wrinkle — taxes. The Cybercab as a business qualifies for deductions and other favorable treatment. Personal use does not. So I have to keep a very detailed log of every trip I take in my personal Cybercab. OR…
Why not just “hire” my own Cybercab when I go somewhere in it? Pay for it using the app just like any other John. I don’t need to go many places, less than one trip per day on average. So even though I’d pay a surcharge to Telsa for the rental program, I’d save overall because the entire expense of the cab would have favorable tax treatment, and no documentation needed.
So… genius idea or retarded?
Is anybody else getting tired of this? I’m thinking we need to really cut immigration of all types, legal and illegal. Deport anyone not here legally. Slash welfare payments to able bodied individuals. This shit needs to end.
I’m removing the X app from my iPad now. I’ve always used “dark mode” which some f*cking moron removed “permanently” from the app. So I’m removing the app permanently from my iPad. Hopefully @elonmusk will fire the idiot that did this and restore customer service to the platform.
It turns out you can make your own “app” on iPad. Just call up the X.com site in Safari, then choose the “share” icon and “add to home screen”. You’ll get an X icon that behaves just like an app but supports “dark mode”. So in the measured words of Elon, the X app can GFY. (GFI? not sure it matters.)
