Elon is MAGA they have nothing to offer but lies and conspiracy theories.

The unfortunate part is how insulated and self-selecting their sources are. There will be ample evidence of the falsehoods and reality but they'll never encounter a counter-narrative. My own mother told me that some such whatever bullshit maybe backed up the eating pets bullshit. I told her to stfu. I hate who she is politically and thus imposed a no-politics rule in 2020, but she sometimes can't help herself.

Good article, but man, does anyone else find it weird when CNBC is using “claps back” in headlines? I guess it’s outdated enough now to by used by them, but just struck me as odd.

News media has to make every mundane exchange sound like a WWE match with clickbaity bullshit headlines.

Clearly he should have slammed him.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Feels like they would write "slammed", but because he is gay it is "claps"

I have lots of family all claiming Biden and Harris have botched this recovery after Helene, and it's the Dems fault we give so much money to other countries and (their words here) "illegals", while those effected by Helene only get 750 because there is nothing left.

It's frustrating.

I have seen constant spewing of the bit about FEMA wasting all their money on illegal immigrants and 'now they don't have money for americans!!!!!!!'

Plus, Elon controls the conversation on shitter, so I've already seen his retorts being spread by acquaintances deep into fud territory. You can't even argue with the idiots, because the facts don't matter. The only thing that matters is how much the post in question resonates with their beliefs.

If I woke up and wrote a whole article and got told the headline, I’d never come back into the office.

So an airfield is not giving permission to land?

An airfield is not the FAA/FEMA.

Did they file a flight plan. Did this helicopter call Musk while it was to flying around? What, does it have an Elon bat-phone in the cockpit?

How much supplies can a civilian helicopter carry?

Answer not a whole lot and is a terribly inefficient way to transport supplies to an airfield. Helicopters are best for getting into hard to reach locations to pull people out and get them to hospitals.

My guess is some rich friends tried to make an unplanned trip and wanted to land and/or get gas and were told to fuck off. Or something along those lines.

Yeah unless its a helicopter somewhat designed for cargo or troop transport it aint moving s whole lot. And now all I can hear is fucking Snake talking about the Hind D.
