Unloved by Elon (who once tried to get me fired), disgusted at "conservatives" who turned out to be Trump cultists, hoping Democrats will get healthier, and wishing Congress would do its damned job.

Reminder: Tesla is, and has been since 2018, a Chinese company.
Musk has endlessly kowtowed to Chinese leaders and, beyond doubt, will never say a word in support of Jimmy Lai of Hong Kong or anyone in Taiwan.

Important reminder: without Tesla at an artificially elevated share price, Musk is nothing.
the only time Musk pulled cash out of Tesla, and the only time he's had tens of billions in actual cash on b hand, he used it to buy Twitter and build chatbots. He knows what the source if his wealth really is, and it isn't technological innovation, or making the best products.

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
