Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
All This time
All This worry
All This way to go For nothin'

What's the sense
Of the hurry
You tell me If you Sense somethin'

I dreamed a lot when I was younger
I'm older now and still I hunger
For some understanding
There's no understanding, now
Was there ever?

One thin line
Draws the border
Between madness And the genius
But no pen can erase it
So we keep these things Between us
...

@#5 ... He's "trolling" the "woke" for "the lolz". ...

Is he?

Or has he lost it in the memes?

I wish I knew.

Why?

Well, because Mr Musk seems to have a strong, very strong, influence upon Pres-elect Trump.

Stated differently, why are we even having this type of conversation about such a close Pres-elect advisor?

Because he's obviously in charge? Just a guess. Trump is too old, sick, lazy, and incurious to actually "be in charge." Parades, flybys, brass bands, sure, he's good to stumble his way into that. But reality? No, he's so goddamn stupid he's put Len in charge of that. Whoohoo.

Food for thought:

Seth Abramson
@sethabramson.bsky.social
Just in time for his presidency, Elon has changed his online avatar to a white-supremacist hate symbol, his screen name to a 4chan slogan neo-Nazis favor ("kek"), and his bio icon to two swords.

This is your POTUS.

Are these also gamer symbols? Yes. Does he know they're far more? You bet your ass.

As President Musk well knows"and as hate-group researchers well know, and as everyone (including Elon Musk) on 4chan knows"the so-called "Kekistani" flag is based on the Nazi battle flag.

So, yes...just hours after telling everyone on Twitter to be nicer, Elon has gone full Nazi"openly and proudly.

So Elon has 3 goals here:

1. Get back in the good graces of the white supremacist MAGAs he angered over the H-1B issue.
2. Communicate to so-called "normies" (mainstream Americans) that he can and will do whatever he likes as POTUS.
3. Please gamers, crypto bros and trolls into the KEKIUS memecoin.

re: #6 Lamplighter

It's kinda fuzzy (as per Gal's post #9). There are definitely white supremacists out there who don the "kek" moniker and symbols

The irony is rich-the oval office held by an emotionally abused 78 year old, who's seeded control of the presidency to an unwanted immigrant.

Hmmm. Donald literally lives with a Nazi. I wonder if they sleep together? I wonder if ---- sex transmits Nazism?

Look, Donald never fulfilled the role of president and won't now. His superhuman laziness prevents him from doing that, among other things.

Donald has always been ripe for domination by a strong male figure. Putin has known that for decades. Kek is just the first to physically exploit Donald this way.

Musk lives at Margo-A-Largo for the same reason that any abusive husband monitors the movements of his abused wife.

Elmo is more of a Idioticus Maximus.

@#20 ... Elmo is more of a Idioticus Maximus. ...

imo...

Mr Musk is a wild card in the upcoming Trump administration.

Will he move from the Mar-A-Lago cottage to one of the guest bedrooms of the White House?

Stated from a different angle, how then Pres Trump decides to accommodate Mr Musk in the admin will be telling.

Will Pres-elect Trump retain his apparent subservient approach to Mr Musk?

Time will tell.

The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has sparked speculation after changing his name on his social media platform X to "Kekius Maximus".

Elon has done this pump-and-dump crap before, and not just with crypto, which is even easier to manipulate than worthless stocks, like, e.g., DJT, and didn't get any flack from SEC or CFTC.

"Wolf of Wall Street" and lords of "boiler rooms" have nothing on crypto schemers.

So now Elon looks to be safe for at least next 4 years, with DOTARD all-in on crypto, after calling it a "scam" in 2021... but then, reminded that scams, fraud and selling worthless things is what he's been doing all his life, and it's an easy and "mostly not illegal" way of making real money from his own "alt-coin" ($88M so far, including $30M "seed investment" from TRON founder Justin Sun, who is currently under investigation by SDNY, and whose recent claim to fame was buying 'Comedian / banana duct-taped to the wall' for $6.2M and later eating it) and crypto industry PACs donating more than $7M into his campaign and $130M to Congressional campaigns.

Anyway, the KEKIUS coin went up in price immediately by 900%, then ran up to 2600%, some other frog-meme "coins" also went up for a ride... but the euphoria didn't last long - minutes after Musk changed his eX-Twitter name and logo back to "Elon Musk" the price of KEKIUS coin and market value crashed 99%, from $400M to $2M.

God-Emperor Elon giveth a coin, God-Emperor Elon taketh a coin away. Whatcha gonna do?

"Get it while it's hot!"
"They are not making any more of it!"
"Those NFTs are your retirement!"

Not much different from HAWK coin promoted by Hawk Tuah Girl, who is now suing her crypto "partners"

@#23 ... some other frog-meme "coins" also went up for a ride ...

As I have noted previously, Bitcoin and other "coins" seem to be based upon nothing.

The tulip fad all over again?

Who knows. I certainly do not have a clue.
