Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The mask is peeling off, Musk is already blatantly bragging about being the "shadow president" behind Trump like its something to be proud of.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well he certainly isn't becoming president the regular way given that he's not a natural born citizen.

So "shadow president" is the best he can possibly get.

I just assume he's fully possessed by the ghost of Kissinger. He's got the inscrutable accent, bloodthirst, and Wormtongue bearing down already, so let's see what his take on Cambodia is.

On the other hand Kissinger was a genuine strategic genius who orchestrated the downfall of the Soviet Union while Elon Musk can't tie his own shoes because it doesn't have AI booba

Or literally just search the phrase "the myth of Henry Kissinger" and read any of the numerous pieces along those lines to understand that you have been snookered by propaganda.
