Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What's the context?
Okay, I did an image search. Sometimes I'll take a dive down a rabbit hole like this and find something interesting. This time, I kind of feel like I found buried treasure.
The picture comes from a Forbes article in 2012 about Musk dressing up as the Marquis de Sade for a party (this was news?). That wasn't too interesting but the pic was also used on Soundcloud. I guess Elon tried his hand at EDM a few years ago. I found this discography where I got a chuckle from a review that someone posted there:
There is also a link there to Soundcloud. He put out are two songs. Don't Doubt ur Vibe and RIP Harambe. No, I did not, and will not listen to them. It may be essentially undetectable, but I do have some self respect. There is, however, a link to a four year old Guardian article, Elon Musk's new EDM single reviewed – 'Bringing erectile dysfunction to the masses!' about the Don't Doubt ur Vibe track. It starts off with this opening...
and finishes with this awesome closing paragraph.
/edit to clarify some stuff
Incredible work. This is indeed buried treasure.
