Also ford’s 302 is not quite 5 liters, but chevy’s 305 is. But they weren’t about to put 4.9 on the side of a mustang.

March 19Mar 19 Popular Post 10 hours ago, 956 Worldwide said: Elon casually endorsing the idea of turning the U.S. into a Central American dictatorship. 5d chess to stop migrants by making America equally as bad. Also, imagine letting adult oppositional defiant disorder “libertarianism” break your brain so badly that you feel compelled to goaltend for the richest defense contractor in the world, who is also a high-ranking government official. Very embarrassing. But many such cases. SAD! Note how Ana and the Elon apologists are perfectly fine with this. Now, they'll come in here and say "it's just a tweet, don't be so alarmist." It's not "just a tweet." It is a statement....by the unelected co-president of the United States....on a platform that he owns....that goes to literally tens of millions of people.....calling for imprisoning any judges who dare rule against the regime. So remember, when they say "don't freak out, it's just a tweet," what they mean is "I agree with it, so I really don't want anyone taking any action based on this right now."

There is no longer any rational evidence-based debate involving Musk. He and the tools he wields are an existential threat, immune to argument/debate or even the rule of law itself. As many of us have warned over and over, when you opt out of the rule of law, you are necessarily opting into rule of the gun. It's a dumb decision to make, we really wish that these assholes would stop it, but instead, they push down on the accelerator even harder. Responses like the above are a natural and expected outcome of their choice. TLDR: don't opt in to rule of the gun and then bitch when the rule is applied to you.

March 19Mar 19 Had to look up the whole video of Burr on Fallon - Fallon is trying to crawl out of his own skin as Burr goes in on billionaires lol. Video below is timestamped to the start of the Musk rant, but he does talk about Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway at the beginning if that's your cup of tea

Phrasing. But to be fair, the 5.0 and 350 were fine. I was just responding to the 350 being referred to as a 3.5 and a 360 being a 3.6 which makes them seem like they are smaller than the 302 (5.0).
