    Is there a website or account somewhere that tracks elon musk's current location? I would like to know elon musk's GPS coordinates at all times.

      Here you go - the closest thing at least. Here for a direct link.

      Edit: the info they publish is legit, though reading about it the author seems like a techbro imbecile; I quote:

      The Twitter account, created in June 2020, had been targeted by Musk beginning in 2021. He offered to pay Sweeney $5,000; Sweeney countered requesting $50,000 or an internship in one of Musk's companies

      In April 2022, Sweeney stopped tracking Mark Cuban's travel in exchange for his friendship and business advice.

          From a purely theoretical standpoint if I were a journalist seeking a surprise interview I think airports are a no go for theoretical journalists due to private gates and transition from plane to car privately. It's probably much better off working out what destination someone has after the airport and catching them in the transition from car to building at that destination, assuming the destination doesn't have a built-in underground parking garage. That or figuring out what hotel chain someone likes as everyone goes through the lobby at some point or another.

          Personally I'm banking on Musk ending up dead in one of his rockets, due to something stupid he'll have insisted on despite the advice of actual engineers. It'd be far funnier.

      I think he's just throwing red meat to the reactionary fucks who now make up the primary userbase of Twitter. I'm parsing it as something like "lol queer conspiracy?" Just pure weapons-grade brainworms

      Some hairbrained ‘centrist’ attempt to equate the two?

    Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity; never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by different lived experiences; and when those lived experiences happen to incentivize malicious acts and behaviors in a global system where the world's greatest fools can simply inherit immense social, political, and economic power from their parents with sometimes a pinch of postnatal dumb luck, then that's a bingo.

    Can you imagine what Keter-class cognitohazards reside in his drafts folder

      I wouldn't be shocked to find out that it's totally empty, actually, and that he immediately tweets every single thing that flashes into his consciousness.

        The real purpose of Neuralink: downloading Musk's every thought directly into the brains of his audience as soon as his thinks it

    Maybe a hot take, but I don’t doubt for a second that musk is a self-hating autistic person (and I would bet the fucking farm that so many gamers are as well).

    Which makes this all the more absurd. Here you are, a very clearly autistic fucking 50 year old apartheid beneficiary shitting on minorities for da memes

    I’ve honestly had conversations about this with people in real life. Autism acceptance doesn’t mean autistic people can’t be absolutely awful humans
