The oligarchs wouldn’t like that precedent but they might go for purchasing SpaceX since it is owned by a foreigner. Kind of like with TikTok…

I am totally down for this jobs program.

Description: Elon talks about the implications to JD Vance.

As if they aren’t saving that chats for review and ingestion into their training set.

Imagine wanting to die so bad you actually do it but then you wake up in a world where you feel even more out of place.
