Kissing costs extra.

I see Musk has done a Nazi salute then. What a card, eh? *sigh*

History repeating itself in capital letters

"Businessmen became politicians and were acclaimed as statesmen, while statesmen were taken seriously only if they talked the language of successful businessmen."

Capital letters for Trump and Nazis. Comma before he'd (though full marks for that apostrophe, fair play to you).

No need to thank me.

Why do I bother?

Give us a clue, what's it begin with?

This quote from the Horus Heresy series sums how I hope Trump's Presidency unfolds.

Garviel Loken: "I guarantee that before the sun sets on this war, even if you win, even if I die here, you’ll rue the day you ever turned your back on the Emperor. For every planet you take, the Imperium will exact a fearful tally of Cthonian blood. I guarantee that even if you conquer Terra the fruits of victory will taste like dust in your mouth. I guarantee that if you don’t kill me today, you’ll meet me again. I will stand against you at every outpost, every wall and every gate. I will fight you with every sword at my command, with every bolter and every fist. I will fight you with bare hands. I will fight you with the very rocks of the world you seek to conquer. I will never give up until the Sons of Horus are dead and no more than a bad memory."

If you don't know what the Horus Heresy, look it up yourself, you've got the internet.

Errm, no thanks.

WTF is the Horus Heresy?

Look it up. You've got google use it.

It's from Scooby Doo, the controversial 15th series.

It looks like the salute of the Terran Empire.* Musk being an avid Trekker but cheers the baddies is a very likely possibility.

* A parallel universe of fascist evil mirroring the Federation in Star Trek (a popular American sci fi TV and movie franchise).

The universal cure still applies.

Bozo bagged a seat at the inauguration but Farage didn't. It's not fair, retorts Nigel, I'm Donald's real friend not Boris.

Speculation is that he's been in touch with Musk and has been feeding him with lines like 'Two Tier Keir.'

Yes I have.
And you have absolutely really impressive knack of pissing people off.

Musk visited Auschwitz last January. Prior to opening, business owners often visit premises of similar enterprises to see how they do it, for inspiration and ideas. He seemed to enjoy it, there's a photo of him there with his kid on his shoulders like they're visiting the funfair on a summer day out.

There's a difference, isn't there, between a learning experience and a training experience...

Thinking, "we could use electric instead of gas".
