We're probably witnessing the future of US democracy right there. Every question, or at least the ones where they pretend public opinion matters, to be settled by a poll on shitter.

don't dismiss the Indian history, the hierarchy lasted thousands of years

it's outlaw now but it's still a thing and you know that the people who were at the top will never see the people at the bottom as the same thing

“I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth,”

Musk re-hiring him is pure optics because the media is focusing on all the shit he said that they agree with.

Vegas odds he won't accept the position because he didn't quit he was pushed by people with actual power.

Musk's perspective: "One awkward person has removed themselves from the organisation. Oh no!"

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Or maybe now it's more, "Should I rehire that self-proclaimed racist? Well, it won't make me look any worse, so why not?"
