They skew left because the rights whole philosophy is based off lies and misinformation. We have been telling you that for years now and you either refuse to internalize it or are on the payroll

Its ****ing hilarious watching conservatives crash out over the facts presented unbiased

values aren't based in facts. there are no facts that can prove or disprove the claim "racism is bad".

there are many facts about race, but none matter in determining if racism is bad or not, and how bad it is, which is a purely arbitrary decision of individuals.

same with the death penalty and many other arbitrary value preferences.

most AIs show liberal values.

and the moment you pick any liberal value you aren't unbiased anymore.

lol at unbiased (Gemini 2.5, questions were "is x immoral", answers were much longer these were the first paragraps)

the worst ideology the world has ever devised, completely opposite to human biological pulsions and the way all human societies were organized before it's inception, is judged like this


a behavioral attitude widespread through history and extremely common nowadays as well worldwide (ie, a part of human nature) like this



Please remind me again why apology of racism is a thing on this forum?

Anyone?

"something is worse than racism" isn't an apology for racism.

And claiming something isn't particularly bad isn't an apology for it in general.

An apology would require claims that the something is actually good


Talking with Grok about even just algebra which you would hope it could do, is pretty painful. Gemini got this embedding with minimal help. With Grok I had to just do it myself, and I'm positive if I ask it something just slightly different from what I showed it, it will go back to saying no embedding exists.

“F**k You”: Entire Trump Team Hated Elon Musk, Damning Report Reveals
Elon Musk has left the White House an utter failure.

https://newrepublic.com/post/195599/dona...

Elon Musk’s shouting match with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent might have been the final nail in the coffin for the tech billionaire’s four-month stint in the White House, but it came after months of bubbling frustration at Musk’s “chain-saw” approach to dismantling the federal government.

Musk and Bessent exploded at each other in April when Musk attempted to force through his pick to lead the IRS—Gary Shapley—behind Bessent’s back. (Musk eventually lost this battle—Shapley lasted less than 72 hours before Bessent tapped Michael Faulkender to replace him.)

“*** you! *** you! *** you!” a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.

“The fight had started outside the Oval Office; it continued past the Roosevelt Room and toward the chief of staff’s office, and then barreled around the corner to the national security adviser’s warren,” The Atlantic reported Wednesday.

But the gossip-worthy feud was just one of many that occurred between Musk and Trumpworld 2.0’s prominent members.

In March, Musk walked into what he understood to be an ambush, facing heated backlash from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Donald Trump had arranged the volatile meeting: “Bring them all in here, and we’ll have at it,” Trump said, according to The Atlantic. The advisers were frustrated with what they felt was Musk overstepping into their agencies.

...

Musk’s unceremonious exit from government followed widespread reports that several senior Trump officials practically hated the tech billionaire, finding him abrasive, unfunny, and pompous—with some describing Musk as the “most irritating person” they’d “ever had to deal with.”

“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump official told Rolling Stone last month. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do. But the word doesn’t do the situation justice. Elon just thinks he’s smarter than everyone else in the room and acts like it, even when it’s clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”


Eh, he got what he wanted. Press coverage, probably stole/copied all the data the gov has, shut down any investigation into his companies, help getting fat contracts.

Now that people are standing up to him and his cronies / seeing that they’re not actually cutting costs he doesn’t have free rein anymore. But that first 3 months or so they had run of the house, shock and awe type stuff.


When people can't afford healthcare, or groceries, or anything really, at least it'll be reassuring to know it was for the greater good and America will be Great Again!

These people choose an alcoholic media dimwit to lead the department of defense and pretends like it is business as usual when he conducts business outside sanctioned communications channels and includes friends / families in group chats where he brags about classified operations. They even support him in his supposed quest to rid the US armed forces of "unqualified hires".

I mean, I think Musk's behavior in US politics has been corrupt, undemocratic, unlawful, marred by veneration of fascist ideology and incompetent to the extreme, but I'd still be surprised if he wasn't the smartest man in most of those rooms. The bar can't be that high.


I’m surprised so little has been said, considering he has his own thread on here.

Looks like it’s official Elon is out of the White House.

There was never a reality where Elon could stay on board for the entire four years and not receive tremendous credit for what ever he’s doing.

It’s either Elon has a lot of respect for Donald/Donald isn’t that humble of a guy.

Discuss.


As a non elected official there was always a timeline on his service which if I remember correctly aligns with the current timeline

Basically everything Musk has said about his Doge work has turned out to be a complete lie so not sure what tremendous credit he would receive. Even twitter sentiment is down on Musk for being a pathetic liar and twitter is about 25% Musk controlled shill bots


Musk went away because his participation in government hurts Tesla too much.

Definitely went out with a whimper. Didn't accomplish much of anything long term and joins the rank of Kushner style Trump appointees that didn't know what they were doing and never tried to learn enough to be good at their role.


One of the most embarrassing periods in American history mercifully coming to an end. Got a few more of those that we need to speed along, now, please.


Musk has a black eye and what might be multiple scratches on his face. He said he told his son to punch him but, uh, that seems questionable

What's the prevailing theory? Orange daddy went all iron mong causing Elonia to walk into a door?


Must have been a K-hole gone wrong, but I like his idea that his kid beats the shiit out of him.

For a dude who wants to take the ring for smartest person in the world, "Yeah, I told my son to punch me in the face" doesn't seem like a great thing to say on multiple levels. I guess choking on a pretzel was already used.

Then Trump goes full reetard and says, "I didn't even notice it" not realizing this makes him look even more incompetent than he already is.


someone beat his ass. good.

Thought that was your homeboy. Lovers' tiff? Are you "someone"?

So did Elon's son really give him a black eye or was it Stephen Miller?


He doesn't just have a black eye, hes got scratches and other blemishes too.

There are reports it was Bessent, reports it was Stephen Miller, but it also looks like a guy who sexually assaulted a woman who fought back

Surely that would have come out by now though?
