Does this mean that the future of warfare is Ketamine benders and "Roman" salutes?

Where have we seen this before...

    Pete faked benching like 300 pounds or something with some enlisted people. The weights were not normal but like ten pounders made to look like the big ones.

    Pete Hegseth, is a pussy bitch. Pass it on.

    Because appointing him head of DOGE was so successful... This is the absolutely dumbest fucking timeline possible.

    … thus proving he is both equally, and exponentially dumber than himself.

    I'd rather Elon be deported back to South Africa.

    Yeah, being a CEO is clearly not the full-time job that requires marathon-level endurance that the Acela class likes to paint it as.

    He's the CEO of five companies. If he really works 100 hours a week like he says (and maybe ketamine does make that possible), that means being a CEO is at best a part-time job.

    Yup. 100%. People have been saying for decades that being a CEO (often expanded out to CxOs, too) is like being some kind of super-star athlete and that people in those positions get paid many many many multiples of the average wage of employees they oversee because they are just operating next level and work so fucking hard and so many hours, too.

    Virtually every time Elon hits the news we are all reminded in quite stark terms what complete bullshit that narrative was.

    Somehow Musk has time to shitpost on Twitter for hours, run the US military and be the CEO of like 5 companies. Guess he saves a lot of time by not spending any time with his children.

    It’s always been about returning to the indentured servitude and elite wealthy man controlled world that was temporarily interrupted with an experiment in civil rights, workers rights, women’s rights, etc.

    They figured out all they had to do was pause progress in the economic sector for all the minority groups that benefited from those movements, and drastically and continually increase the funneling of resources and profits into the hands of the one group that used to control and own it all, making it only a matter of time until we returned to the good old days.

    Sneak peek at Elon: "More bots on twatter is the future of war! US government, please buy my bots. "

    US government: OK, here's like 8 Billion dollars.

    The guy who claimed Stealth was obsolete because of lider + AI.

    Yup, he forgot clouds exist and will now be predicting future military tech. I'm sure this will go brilliantly.

    Also Palmer Luckey just flying under the radar (beneath the bloated corpse-like Hindenberg of Musk's profile).

    I suppose Luckey should have been the first horseman of the tech apocalypse, since back in pre-timeline-flip 2016 he was bragging about spending to elect Trump via shitposting, back when we all at least still thought Musk was sane( r ).

    God damn it. Hegseth was too dumb and powerless to build skynet.

    Musk is actually capable of wielding his power to build hundreds of thousands of autonomous murderer drones that roam the planet.

    If I create an SAT analogy from that quote and the other Matrix quote that inspired the vulture capital firm Bending Spoons, I have a great idea for a company.

    We can call it Biting Onions. And instead of using capitalistic principles to enshittify, it will subvert capitalistic principles to block enshittification.

    For example:

    • Buy distressed patent assets or R&D explicitly to dedicate them to the public domain.
    • Counterbid evil investors for tools or platforms to avoid extreme harm from other bidders (e.g., imagine a counterbid for Twitter).
    • Seed-fund unions in underleveraged, corporate wage-theft-common industries, requiring only that the new unions to contribute parts of their dues back to the fund to accelerate more seed-funding of unions.
    • Venture capital tech startups with explicit caps on executive pay and barriers on anti-human/customer/citizen conduct (e.g., a lowest-to-highest-paid-employee metric or prohibiting SaaS/subscription fee business models baked into contractual funding requirements).

    Some of this requires altruism and is likely money-losing (I mean, Twitter was never worth what Musk paid for it, unless you factor in the "value" to an evil sociopath), but like Valve, I think companies that have a set mission and that reach stability would actually have competitive advantages. After all, "suck blood until host dies" is a model that is self-sabotaging in the end.

    Cool so funnel taxpayer dollars into musk companies, musk installs backdoor order 66 into weaponized ai and robotics systems that are mass produced, musk replaces US with the garbage empire and installs himself as emperor.

    Am I missing anything?

    Welp, guess that's gonna be bankrupt in 6 weeks or less. What a fucking friendless loser Musk is.

    Just when you thought he was done, Musk comes back to take whatever is bolted down.

    It will be great to have those FSD Tanks on the battlefield and I’d wager that with fElon’s great brain it’ll be in only a year Right ?
