Still not shocking though lol.

You missed a strike through of shockingly

I believe you’re referring to the Business Plot.
The Business Plot, also called the Wall Street Putsch[1] and the White House Putsch, was a political conspiracy in 1933, in the United States, to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Smedley Butler as dictator.[2][3] Butler, a retired Marine Corps major general, testified under oath that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans’ organization with him as its leader and use it in a coup d’état to overthrow Roosevelt.

Something about the Business Plot that I can’t believe goes overlooked is how much one of the players has had an outsize affect on our government for almost 100 years now:

Prescott Bush
In July 2007, a BBC investigation reported that Prescott Bush, father of U.S. President George H. W. Bush and grandfather of then-president George W. Bush, was to have been a “key liaison” between the 1933 Business Plotters and the newly emerged Nazi regime in Germany,[51] although this has been disputed by Jonathan Katz as a misconception caused by a clerical research error.[52] According to Katz, “Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the Business Plot.”[53]

How did Gerorge Bush senior, grandson of Prescott Bush, potential suspect in a coup, becoming CIA director not raise some giant fucking red flags? He goes on to become vice-president, then president. And 8 years later his son becomes president thanks to the 2000 Supreme Court decision that came about because of the Brooks Brothers Riot

I’m not saying any of that is irrefutable proof of anything underhanded but fuckin’ hell isn’t it a super strange chain of events.

Not if we fuck them in the ass

It’s worth pointing out that Elon left South Africa in 1988, before Mandela was released and apartheid was abolished. He would have experienced the full brunt of the racism (on the good side, of course).

And no one is even trying to assassinate Musk. 🤔

In Minecraft right? with a pick axe right?

We were already on “a list” by being on Lemmy, now you’re double on a list

(You know if the admins/mods are chill with asking a hypothetical like that? I’m a wimp so I’d go North Korea style free speech but I bet the powers that be on Lemmy are made of stronger stuff)

As much as I’d like to believe this… they probably have offshore tax haven accounts with money squirreled away in them.

There’s still a lot of Democratic politicians sadly Xitting about how Elon has too much power while helping keep his media platform afloat while the boosted right wing blue checkmarks get all the top replies.

A sucker
