  • Adding additional backup communication methods is a good thing. Your home might be fine with one connection, but large businesses often have 2 or more separate physical connections for redundancy. I’m sure places like the White House effectively have as many as they can. One of the worst things for the White House is to be disconnected from communication with the outside world.

    This clearly wasn’t intended for that purpose, but I’m sure that’s at least partially how they sold it to get it done quickly get it installed now for DOGE use and it can be added to those systems later, additional ongoing revenue as well.


  • Not sure that’s gonna happen anytime soon, if ever. Elon made himself the face of the company,without exception and his foray into fascist politics turned away many of the most diehard Tesla supporters. The ones that had been around because of things like the environmental goals and shift away from fossil fuels despite some of his previous statements.

    But now there are other viable options available on the market, and within a couple years most of the hold outs from legacy auto are finally entering the market with interesting options. Supporting Tesla directly now means supporting a clearly and openly out fascist company leader. There will be some supporters that stick around, and some will come because of that, but for many the two are completely inseparable.



  • I’m not making any sort of excuse and nothing in my comment came close to that. You should check your reading comprehension skills, because they’re clearly lacking.

    I haven’t seen anyone write up a breakdown of what the fuck the actual agreement with countries like El Salvador looks like. Just some general numbers back at the beginning about some costs. No breakdown of whether the payments are based on the number of people, a general monthly cost for everything regardless of occupancy, something on a per-person level, time limits for holding specific individuals, etc.

    No information on whether it’s purposely intended to be one way or not. You honestly think this Administration put in any sort of provisions for getting people back, or would they specifically word it as a one way deal? Something like we send you people and pay you $x per month, y minimum time, etc. and we never see them again.

    Whether the prisons are considered US territory while occupied for this purpose, whether any US law enforcement has any jurisdiction, etc. You know, the types of things that normally are setup well before anything it built.

    The entire purpose of these places seems to get the people out of the US and promptly forget about them, they don’t need to actually deport them correctly if you just get them off US land and hand them to El Salvador or whatever other nation to do whatever they want with them. With that goal it seems entirely possible that whatever the fascists wrote up for an agreement doesn’t have any provisions for getting people back, or might even have penalty fees for returning people because they never intended to do that.

    There’s some sort of a reason why we’re seeing some people be retrieved from some places like Mexico and no returns from places like El Salvador. What is the difference?


  • I’m still of the belief that all of this is about the destruction of the US economy for Russia. He’s a kremlin asset and has been for 40+ years.

    He and the billionaires (because he isn’t one) will make millions from short term panic in the market, just as they have already, and vacuum up everything they can to control it all directly and openly just like the Russian oligarchs did post-Soviet control.

    This will make the US weaker both internally and internationally, where Russia can try and step in to some of the power vacuum that departure leaves behind. China as well as a side effect, as long as they can deal with the bullshit trade war in the beginning, which they can without issue honestly.
