George Takei 
π³οΈβπππ½Elon either canβt do math, or he canβt pass civics.
Danni Storm@georgetakei Why can't it be both?
Daedalean@danni_storm @georgetakei yeah, either itβs both or heβs a committed fascist lying about everything.
@daedalean @georgetakei haha why not all three?
@danni_storm @georgetakei there is that.
Krutonium://@georgetakei This is an executive coup. You do not get to do this, Trump. The rule of law, the rule of the people, above you.
(Hi Sulu!)
Androcat
Binro the Heretic (he/him)Why not both?
Total Sonic Media
Mike Edey@georgetakei he can suck at two things.
GrumpyDad πΊπ¦π΅πΈ@mce @georgetakei He sucks at a whole lot more than that really
ππ¨ππ‘ππ€π§π£@georgetakei
Why not both?
Why not both?
Vixens (Back to Smut reading)@georgetakei I'm more concerned about trying to figure out what this "rule of the people" is... isnt it supposed to be "rule of law" ?
@OmegaVixens @georgetakei Don't you know, dictators care about what their people want from their government. Obviously, that is what they mean.
These are the idiots who keep claiming words like 'massive' or 'substantial' or 'strong' in relation to a supposed mandate.
You keep saying these words but I do not think they mean what you think they mean. Vizzini also had 'large' opinions of himself and you are similarly bent out of shape about size. But hey, keep on saying it - repeating an obviously incorrect word worked out splendidly for him.
Captain Futura@georgetakei but I can somehow imagine that the Democrats and Schumer will give him a majority for this so that um Trump can't play the um victim card and they can convince more Trump voters again in the βnext electionβ.
KellyT1215@georgetakei
He's a South African who, it would much appear, infinitely regrets the passing of apartheid and is using an almost limitless wealth to buy a new one.
Mathematics and civics, would both present barriers, not benefits to his little plan.
Steve Rehrauer@georgetakei Or he asked his AI to do the math.
Agitatra π²π»πΏπͺπΊπΊπ¦@introversion @georgetakei Quite likely, we know it's plotting against him.
DP0@georgetakei Musk is not and never was as smart as he tried to make everyone believe. Nothing his companies created was actually invented or conceived by him. Never bought in on this "Real-Life-Tony-Stark" BS ... Just look at SpaceX: it's based on scientific concepts of the 60s ... fossil fuel propelled super-sized rockets - new is only their production on an industrial scale ... 60 YEARS LATER!
StevenSavage (he/him)@georgetakei why not both?
chef π@georgetakei
Oh dear.... π©
That's probably how they design and build the swasticars. Would explain why they are so totally unrelieable and accident-prone. π
Robbert@georgetakei i'm going for both
nothingTV@georgetakei I really hope that more Americans realize that a rich person is not necessarily a genius or even smart. Intelligence and wealth are two independent things.
Nicholas Sushkin@georgetakei He's not going to find 66β
senators to vote for this
CockneyLaurie@georgetakei judging by the sort of law twisting or rewriting might also mean that he also thinks he can redefine what 2/3 means or that it's near enough to suit the Far Right running the US now see also https://nebula.tv/videos/legaleagle-trump-defies-court-order-illegally-imprisons-venezuelans
Chuckles@georgetakei appropriate that he chose as a profile picture a giant sucking hole that's so dense that no light or information can escape it
Jim Kofron@georgetakei Both can be true. And his kids donβt love him eitherβ¦ π
Gecq@georgetakei why not both?
Michael J. Coffey@georgetakei Maybe he didn't count the ones he's already paid off.
Chef Bobby GrΓ©goire@georgetakei he canβt do both apparently
punIssuer@georgetakei is he saying "rule of the people" because he is wielding power as an ordinary person that wasn't even elected?
Cosmic LibrarianTo paraphrase the late Governor Ann Richards: Poor Elon. He can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.
Sunflower BjΓΆrnskalle π»@georgetakei Dude can't pass a lot of classes. Amazing at faking it amd pulling the wool over people's eyes though.
Fatsquatch@georgetakei Apartheid Emerald can do math and civics about as well as he invents things.
*narrator voice that sounds suspiciously like Morgan Freeman*
He doesn't invent anything. He buys others' inventions for a pittance and passes them off as his own "genius."
Jeff Clatworthy@georgetakei Judging from his lack of programming ability, Iβd say both.
Fr. Marty@georgetakei Or both.
@georgetakei Well, isn't this more of a linguistic problem? I mean, "two-thirds of a hundred" is just one sentence. Its meaning could easily declared as 60. Why doesn't Trump simply issue an executive order? It worked with that puddle in the Caribbean, after all.
Soozcat@georgetakei As Jay Kuo points out, intense ketamine use can do that. Aside from that, frankly he's just not as smart as he thinks.
groff πΊπ¦
VicMartinLike someone I know. He has an accountant because he doesn't understand the math.
Ken Gidley@georgetakei Both things can be true!
L'andrew@georgetakei He can just buy a company to do those things for him - and then take the credit...
BronMasonLet him keep believing that β¦
PersonneThe guy enacting a coup, using projection and deflection to blame judges upholding the law. Some people are beyond hope.
This will end in catastrophe for everyone, including him and, unfortunately, countless innocent people.
