    “Musk is eliminating any oversight so he can put a chip in my brain!” [Thunderous applause.]

    Remember what happened to that one billionaire who didn’t follow regulations? His sub imploded.

    Remember how Christians would throw fits about things like barcodes and credit cards, because they were worried about “the Mark of the Beast?”

    If Elon requires everyone to be chipped to buy and sell stuff, will that be enough to get them to see what’s going on?

    This is what Musk came to America for, the land of the free, free of laws, free of oversight, free to do terrible things without reprecutions.

      Yes, but they are winning against the WOKEMINDVIRUS, which was obviously having so much impact on their personal lives…

    Good on her for staying, but as I recall, formal notice would’ve only given her 30 more days.

      Well, might be enough time to shine light on it and cause a public uproar since this is pretty corrupt even by January 2025 standards (can’t speak for March or May…).

      Ultimately shock & awe only works if there isn’t enough time to process and respond, so the 30 day delay is arguably very important here.
