      No shock that a Trump interview with an African-American would be a catastrophe.

      You just know how he feels about - [ looks around ] - immigrants!

      people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

    “Trump is slurring in a way I’ve never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he’s had a conversation with a fellow human.”

    Oh, wow… that’s how you kill two birds with one cleverly-worded sentence.

    Brava 👏

    Don’t worry, when reporters asked his campaign about a very easily provable fact on a live-broadcast and widely recorded event, they said this:

    In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”

          Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.

            Yeah, we had to watch my wife’s mom die of dehydration. Pneumonia is a really common Alzheimer’s related illness as they forget how to swallow and cough properly (or productively).

            Until we have right to die laws, dying from Alzheimer’s-related ______ is going to remain common.

    The scheduled chat started 30 minutes late after Musk’s platform failed to launch a livestream, which Musk attributed to a “DDOS” attack. After the interview got underway, users were quick to point out that Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual.

    Sure thing, Lonnie. You were under DDOS. I believe that because it’s not like your live chat with DeSantis was bogged down with tons of problems and this is a pattern. Fucking liar.

      They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can’t handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.

          I don’t think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don’t exist. Besides, I’m not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he’s doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.

              Oh absolutely, provided you’re versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I’m not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.

              And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins’ advice.

                  That’s what I was trying to allude to. Whoever is left is either not competent enough or unwilling to call him out (possibly because being employed is generally more important than being right).

        I watched a video not long ago of him giving a tour at SpaceX. He was showing off the evolution of the rockets and he pointed out how the newer ones have fewer “fiddly bits” on the outside. And Muskovites think he’s a real engineer or something.

    Trump was full of invective at the NABJ conference where he complained their technical incompetence delayed proceedings. Turns out the delay was because he objected to being fact checked and they nearly threw him out. (They should have thrown him out, but he showed his feces anyways)

      Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym “Fast” for quick recognition.

      Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack

      Arms - hold up arms if one falls…

      Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly

      Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn’t have time

      I haven’t been following too closely, but I thought he was more worried/upset about the dems swapping Biden for Kamala than the assassination attempt.

      • You don’t have to watch the news to know that the dude is completely rattled after a sniper took like eight shots at him and got him with a piece of one of them. If it was an inch to the other direction it would have torn off the side of his head. It was traumatic for Trump, to be sure.

        He’s been very obviously getting more senile over the last few months, even before Biden dropped out and before he got shot.
