What did Elon Musk do this time.

Elon Musk had to be schooled today about the government's EV program. As in building the infrastructure to charge the fucking cars his company builds.

Elon seems to be very ignorant about who was funding his empire.

Trump: We need to get rid of EV cars and the space program. Oh and the internet except for Truth social.

Elon: You mean X, right?

Trump: No.

Two stories:

1). Musk is setting up an AI Video Game Studio TM to "make games great again". https://www.polygon.com/news/486495/elo ... -x-twitter

2). Musk is considering buying Hasbro, just so he can de-woke D&D. https://www.enworld.org/threads/elon-mu ... ro.708184/

Somehow I'm imagining Musk will make a bunch of video games that are somehow even less sexy despite more nudity.

I know WotC has their problems but dear baby Dionysus, man, don't let him ruin D&D and Magic the Gathering the way he ruined twitter.

I feel he is doing this as a combo threat and a joke. As in if he really wanted to he could easily do it behind the scenes and just only announce it later. Him asking if he should buy Hasbro says that he is doing that for reactions more than anything.

As long as he doesn't get high and accidentally make a legally binding bid for twice the company's value like he did when he accidentally bought Twitter.

With Elongated Muskrat, it's hard to rule out.

Well all Hasbro has to do is say no.

But like I said to me it sounds like he is just trolling people.

Yeah, apparently he can't do it I didn't really understand before. https://bsky.app/profile/morsrattus.bsk ... 2dminhv22q
