    I knew he was going to pussy out. Conservatives who are routinely in the public eye can’t survive outside of their safe spaces. That’s why Republican politicians are cancelling their town halls. They can’t handle anything other than a gentle interview on FOX or OAN with the questions sent to them ahead of time so they can get their answers from the heritage foundation.

    I’m shocked. Right up there with his cage fight with Zuck. He can’t handle pressure. He got booed at Chappelle’s standup show, and reportedly locked himself in his office to the point where people had to check on him and were worried he was self harming. He’s fucking 10 ply.

  • Typical far-right behavior. They stay in their safe spaces and pay to artificialy amplify their unpopular messages.

    What was it, like a quarter of all the accounts on Facebook and Twitter are just AI chat bots trying to get people to engage?

    He has shut down other interviews too. Its clear all he wants is people who kiss his ass and tell him his smart he is.

      From what I’ve seen, if you watch any of Rogan you’d find that he’s not actually shouting MAGA to the heavens. He’s literally the “I’m just asking questions” guy, a useful idiot who normalizes right-wing thought for them, not the place they go for reassurance. Bannon and the like are the ones saying crap like deep state conspiracy.

      Mischaracterizations are what fuel the right’s rhetoric when they try to say we don’t know what we’re actually talking about.

        Oh no he pretends to be balanced to some degree but he’s completely bought into the maga propaganda. He may be a useful idiot, but he’s a useful idiot who is all in 100%. They’re not mischaracterizing him at all.

        Bannon is smart enough to know it’s all a means to an end but nobody’s going to him for reassurance. Especially not Musk. Bannon loves shit talking Musk.

    Musk demands unedited interviews but can’t handle unfiltered criticism—irony at its finest.

    What else would a coward do?

    He couldn’t even follow through on his fight with clothing store mannequin Mark Fuckerberg.

      For me the weirdest moment was when Joe Rogan - before the election - said that Musk “saved us”. Not “is going to save us”, already saved us.

        Drumpf also alluded to “he’s got the best coders, it’s just one line of code,” fElon will hand us the win! Before the election.

        fElon also said before the election, “If he [Drumpf] doesn’t win, I’m probably going to prison,” [sic] alongside President Elect Drumpf

          During the 2000 election, the Diebold electronic voting machines used in many states stored results in an Access database. Kids today wouldn’t understand how disastrously insecure that was (Access DBs had an audit table that was manually editable). I have zero doubt that newer machines have similar “flaws” baked in (even if they didn’t use Starlink as was reported briefly), making the results absurdly easy to rig.

      There’s also a huge huge risk of speaking with a master debater (yw). Smart people are everywhere. People who are genuinely good at debating are terrifying to argue with. It’s a rabid animal except they have facts and logic and easy to understand, well structured arguments. It’s infuriating.

    Of course he did, he was never serious about doing an interview as Jon would absolutely bury him alive
