Do these idiots not realize that it's Tesla's association with nazis that's killing sales? How did they think this was going to help, Republicans are suddenly going to start buying electric vehicles?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yes. That was the goal, the God-King ordering the masses to buy Tesla.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Personally I don't see the countryside maga folk buying EVs.

Now I have this image in my head of a cybertruck rolling coal.

This looks like an SNL sketch. People keep expressing sympathy for the onion writers, but really, how does one even parody this? Just shot for shot, word for word something a satirist would come up with.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 17 hours ago

I figure The Onion just has to full on go the opposite direction.

-Trump Returns Funds to Ukraine: Turns Back on Russia.

-Functioning Government Returns to the United States

-Democrats Embrace The Left

Headlines no one could believe and stories about things basically working like they should.

50 years ago, the president advertising a product probably would have lead to investigations

Now it barely makes the evening news.

[–] [email protected] 109 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Heck, no need to go back 50 years. If Biden did it there'd be backlash. Trump was right about being able to shoot someone and not losing supporters.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I remember they were ready to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit.

These guys and suits… and of course musk can wear his t-shirt and no one says shit.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, but Vance had a lot to say about Zelenskyy not dressing up in the WH. Buncha dorks. 😂

I read that as Vsauce and wondered what happened to Michael.

This is basically what killed South Park in 2016. Trump became president and you can't even parody that, because You can't think of anything more absurd. Except maybe electing him for a second time.

Americans Celebrate Having One Regular Day, Say It’s “Exactly What They Needed”

New York, NY — In an unprecedented turn of events, Americans across the country are celebrating what they are calling “the most normal, regular day in recent memory,” marking a significant break from the chaotic, unpredictable rollercoaster of modern life.

“It’s honestly been a while since I’ve had a day like this,” said Karen Thompson, 42, of Dayton, Ohio, who reported that her Tuesday included nothing more than answering a few emails, picking up groceries, and getting a slightly-too-hot coffee at her local Starbucks. “I didn’t get any bad news. No surprise work projects. I even made it through traffic without being rear-ended by a guy in a Dodge Ram. It was a good day. I’m feeling rejuvenated.”

In cities from coast to coast, Americans woke up to the kind of day they hadn’t experienced in months: no major scandals, no worldwide crises, no seismic shifts in public opinion. For once, the news cycle wasn’t dominated by geopolitical unrest or trending hashtags. In fact, the only noteworthy event was that the Wi-Fi went out for about 15 minutes — and even then, no one freaked out.

“I haven’t had a day this uneventful since... I don’t even remember,” said Jack Morris, 29, from Austin, Texas. “I didn’t even get an email with ‘urgent’ in the subject line. I was able to enjoy lunch without my coworker telling me they’ve started a podcast. It was just me and my turkey sandwich, and honestly, it was great.”

At a press conference held to commemorate the event, a spokesperson for the National Association of Regular Days (NARD) explained that the organization was “thrilled” to see this rare occurrence of calm, adding that they hope it signals the beginning of a new era of moderation.

“The public has long been craving a moment to just breathe,” the spokesperson said. “We’re seeing a nationwide trend of people taking an actual break from the chaotic ‘always on’ mentality. It’s almost as if they’re starting to realize... hey, maybe a day of normalcy isn’t so bad after all.”

While some have expressed concerns that this "regular day" could be the result of a political conspiracy or an alien invasion disguised as mundane life, the overall mood across the nation remains overwhelmingly positive. Social media has been flooded with #OneRegularDay memes, with people praising the "non-urgent vibe" of the day.

“It’s been great,” said social media influencer Mia Stewart, 23. “No pressure to be perfect, no need to overshare every moment of my life — just a regular day. So glad we could all experience it together. Honestly, I think I might do it again tomorrow.”

At press time, the news cycle had already shifted back to unpredictable chaos, but Americans remained hopeful that a few more normal days might be just around the corner.

Why isn't Elon wearing a suit?

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He will wear the costume when his war against democracy is over.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Disgusting. No way for a President to act.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

Yeah! He shoulda stuck to selling beans from the Oval Office, like a respectable con man!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Title of his memoirs.

[–] [email protected] 133 points 1 day ago (15 children)

It's not like it's a surprise. Remember how he did a photoshoot with a can of beans, because the owner of the brand said he liked him?

Stopped eating Goya products because of this.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

Same. Haven't bought anything Goya since. Once i looked into them it was clear i probably should have stopped long before they endorsed trump but better late than never

Americans electing a used car dealer to the Presidency is, frankly, the fate we deserved.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He seriously was being a car salesman. A photographer got a shot of his taking points.

This gives me major late night car dealer commercial vibes. My English to Trump is terrible however I have faith that someone write Trump doing the narration for this commercial.

There’s no pretending who’s calling the shots anymore. The monkey was asked to perform. He is giving his best performance and everyone is watching the (shit)show.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Please let this sink the stock even more.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It definitely won't help. "The most unlikable person on earth being associated with our brand is tanking our stocks, what do we do? I know, well ask the second most unlikable person on earth to help."

It has to be bad if they resort to trying to sell EVs to climate change deniers.

Tesla sales are tanking because of Elon's embracing fascism and this is the best they could come up with to fix it

Just lean harder into it and hope the guy who hates electric cars can sell electric cars
