Musk/Trump (Mump) are on a relentless crusade to make us BELIEVE they are powerful tech geniuses manipulating all technology to their whims.

They are not. This is pure puffery; this is claiming power over tides, over wind, over solar eclipses.

Do not buy into their propaganda!! They are not CONFESSING; they are trying to CLAIM CREDIT they do not have or deserve!

Don't allow them to transform themselves into great powerful wizards - they are pathetic bumbling losers using daddy's money to buy power.

Elon would be well-advised to watch his back; Remember what became of Trotsky, Uncle Joe Stalin's 'Best Mate'? Or Che Guevara ,who got a tad too popular(And powerful) for Fidel's liking?

I just went to the White House website to leave an un-congratulation note, and there is no mechanism for contact, unlike every other White House. Should this persist, it will be more evidence that t$$$p does not want to hear from us. But we already knew that.

It’s not enough that a lunatic is in charge, what’s worse is sane people are enabling him.

It's not the voting machines themselves, it's the tallying computers for which Musk was kind enough to offer the use of Starlink. The votes are untouched; the tallies are conveyed from district to central point via the internet

I'm not convinced by these reassuring articles, which all say something like this one: "Did the tech billionaire really use satellite-based technology to ‘steal’ the election for Donald Trump? No – voting equipment is not **typically** connected to the internet," and "and there’s no evidence of Starlink-related fraud." That's all they have? There's no evidence because no one's looked for it. And what about the tallying equipment?

Then there's this:

As well as many exceptions to the "typical"

All I can say is Pennsylvania authortiies and Marc Elias didn't seem to see it. Are they doing a Merrick garland? I have no idea.

After today's comments on Musk from the convict-in-chief ("He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide"), I hope the authorities will at last sit up and take notice

Hmm. I pounded the pavement in PA - Philly, all neighborhoods and these people were coming out strong for Harris. The outcome was shocking.

Well they came out for Dear Leader in the sticks too. You saw the signs. Miles and miles of lie-signs planted in yards.

“And data centers are now using 200 billion gallons of water every year — 700 gallons for every American.”

That’s 1,116 square miles covered by 1 foot of water, a little more than the land area of Rhode Island. (714,220 acre-feet)
