Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

College educated engineers for Harris? I'm shocked....

Anecdotally, the few folks I know at these companies all think Elon Musk is a clown and do everything they can to keep their projects away from him.

You want to see what a project looks like after Musk gets his hands on it?

Cybertruck. that was his baby.

Pretty sure his inspiration was from the cars in Total Recall. You know the weird flick where Arnie goes to mars and gets his brain scrambled and re-scrambled?

Also note he’s in on Neuralink.

They should support removing Elon as their CEO.

They won’t get far because of the sycophantic boards.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Because THEY are the actual brains of the operations.

While I know we all love dunking on the dipshit Musk... the data from Open Secrets isn't exactly compelling that these people deeply materially support Harris over Trump. So they've spent a bit more donating to Harris... the amounts are honestly a drop in the bucket compared to the full budgets of these campaigns and I'm like 90% sure that a number of them are donating to SuperPACs instead so they can donate beyond their max individual contribution. So, personal opinion, misleading and not necessarily indicative of anything at all, as much as I would love to guffaw and point to it as more evidence that Musk is out of touch with even his own workforce.

1 party believes in science and 1 party believes in nonsense. Guess who the scientists support?

‘Despite’ Musk’s support…

To SPITE Musk’s idiocy.
