    What’s with the jacket thing he has been wearing for the last while? Trying to create a specific look like a certain famous German did back in the day?

          For a second I thought was a photoshop with musk’s face on Wormtounge’s body. Nope! They just look eerily similar.

        At least Wormtongue in the movie killed Sauroman. Leading to the famous discussion between Christopher Lee and Peter Jackson about what a man sounds like when you stab him in the back.

        For those not in the know Christopher Lee stabbed Nazis in the back, because of this, he knew what it sounds like when your lungs are punctured

    Speaking of, I’ve literally never seen him with one of his children until Luigi and then I saw a photo from this same event:

    He is quite literally using that child as a human shield isn’t he?

        Balding goofy edgelord.

        I do not mean that as an insult to our follicularly challenged brothers and sisters. I merely wish to have him reminded we know he paid for that hair, purely because his fragile little ego cracks every time he sees that old picture of himself in the public domain.

        And I am totally here for that.

          Whoa. Talk like that may get you sent to Gitmo. Anyway, which picture are you talking about? Asking for the guy down the road.

    We’re literally living in a movie plot right now… “Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination.”

    If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it’s harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it…

    Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity’s, Ingram’s, Carlson’s, etc… I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they’ve done to the population.

      Even in the movies the bad guys have minions. They don’t know their boss is that evil. Here in real life, I’m pretty sure they know and are actively promoting it.

      I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.

    At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk was blackmailing him, he could release Trump’s twitter dms at any time

      Donald is beyond blackmail. He’s already done heinous enough stuff that he should have been done for, but instead he’s president.

    He spent $250M on Drump campain because he knew he would make it back 10 folds in government subsidies, tax cuts, rules and regulations. How do you think his net wealth reached $436 Billions?
