For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

I mean, the phrase was made because they're pussies who can't handle criticism of their speech. In this use the "not able to crtisize" is literally having your ability to speak shut down.

Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

This is why I think it's important to stoop to their level and start spreading childish rumors about them.

✔️ Not inciting violence

✔️ Not illegal

✔️ Not significant enough for them to claim defamation

✔️ Makes them far too angry for how petty it is on account of their extremely low emotional intelligence

For example: JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on

Another example: JD Vance says he's sorry after cumming pass it on

Just one more for good measure: JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

In theory, asking isn't illegal and truth is a defense against charges of slander and I wouldn't be surprised to learn his desire for domination extends to children. In practice, you're probably a few billion short of laws to apply.

Who, the guy that posted on Reddit? Yeah, he's going to be in a lot of trouble, I agree.

I kid. I actually think that the one saving grace in all of this is that Trump is generally considered the boss, and famously thin-skinned and jealous, and Musk is like a hot poker to both of those attributes over the long term. I think it's halfway likely that Trump will turn on Musk, especially after they cause some kind of absolutely unmistakable visible national fuck-up, at which point his plot armor will go away and he'll suddenly be liable for all of his crimes.

It might be wishful thinking. But I think it's at least 50% likely.

Yeah but you really can't dox people even if it seems like the moral thing to do. It wasn't any decision made outside the company, it was made by reddit because it was walking a fine line with their policies.

I'm going entirely off theory but there is a likely chance the people who got hired to be a minion had no idea the parameters of the job. I've gone thru the government job listings and they will tell you only so much about the position. What is required to qualify for the job, what tasks will be done in the job but beyond that, they aren't going to tell you what the grand scheme of the position is. So to me, if any of that is true, then they are trying to post the identities of people who may be appalled by what their job is but don't have the means to step down without having other income already lined up.

I'm not saying anything about what musk is doing is right. I'm just saying, there should be action taken to prevent the identities of people being posted on the internet for all to see.

Dont forget, reddit has literally falsely identifyied an innocent man who committed suicide as being the Boston bomber. Creating an absolute hell for the grieving family who thought their son was missing only to find out he committed suicide before the boston bombing happened. They only found out from the reddit manhunt to dox an innocent person.

And frankly, in any case, posting someone's name online in correlation to a public job isn't doxxing.

Too many people have gone 'posting anything online about anyone is doxxing!' which is just stupid.

If you work for the government, then yes, your name is (unless you're doing some classified shit) is public. So is/was your salary.

Don't want your shit public, don't work for the public. Very simple.
