    The scheduled chat started 30 minutes late after Musk’s platform failed to launch a livestream, which Musk attributed to a “DDOS” attack. After the interview got underway, users were quick to point out that Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual.

    Sure thing, Lonnie. You were under DDOS. I believe that because it’s not like your live chat with DeSantis was bogged down with tons of problems and this is a pattern. Fucking liar.

        I watched a video not long ago of him giving a tour at SpaceX. He was showing off the evolution of the rockets and he pointed out how the newer ones have fewer “fiddly bits” on the outside. And Muskovites think he’s a real engineer or something.

          He may have been at one point. He’s been a hard-core drug addict for years. That shit sucks up your brain

      They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can’t handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.

          I don’t think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don’t exist. Besides, I’m not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he’s doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.

              AWS can scale quite a bit but they don’t do it for free.

              Given all the cuts I’m doubtful they’re willing to pay the price

              Oh absolutely, provided you’re versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I’m not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.

              And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins’ advice.

                  That’s what I was trying to allude to. Whoever is left is either not competent enough or unwilling to call him out (possibly because being employed is generally more important than being right).

      No shock that a Trump interview with an African-American would be a catastrophe.

      You just know how he feels about - [ looks around ] - immigrants!

      people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

    Second post: I looked up a short clip and I didn’t think it was all that pronounced. But maybe it also was more obvious with more exposure. I legit have a lisp, so I have a pretty developed idea about what that sounds like. I think mine is more prominent, or at least was before I learned to subdue it. It’s wild when I drink.

      I have to say, sorry to you and others like you for being unhinged about it yesterday. I think other commenter was right: we didn’t really know what to call it. I switched from slurring to lisp every other chat message.

      But with that said, I do not think it was insignificant. In the beginning, it seemed like just some weird slip up sorta shit. By the end though, I could barely understand what he said sometimes. It got BAD.

        I didn’t notice anyone getting unhinged, but thanks nonetheless. I became one with my lisp years ago. I used to be embarrassed by it, but once I got it to be a bit less obvious, it became normal and natural to me to have a very slight lisp and was not a source of shame. I even advertised it on my dating profile to take the awkwardness away.

      Yeah it wasn’t actually a lisp, it sounded like his dentures weren’t seated right and he was drooling and producing excess saliva. People just don’t have a word for that so they are calling it a lisp.

    Maybe he bit his tongue while yelling incoherently at the podium.

    Now it’s all swollen and doctors can’t treat it because he won’t stop talking long enough for them to get a look at it.

    Its fun he’s like “venezuela is sending all their criminals here” meanwhile on his last day he protected 200,000 venezuelans from deportation.

    The reality is that trump sanctions on venezuela lead to large amounts of immigration and locked down control for Maduro and now he’s campaigning on another issue he’s responsible for by lying about who is fleeing venezuela and why and proposing yet another crackdown on a marginalized group of people.

        They are absolutely losing their minds right now. Love to see it. (Thanks, Biden.) And no doubt getting screamed 24/7 at by Donnie. While he fails to do anything they advise him to. Also: “Iran hacked us!” Sure, lol.

        Even worse is that we are all surrounded by so many assholes that adore donnie like no one else. And many of them have wet dreams about killing/imprisoning/expelling most of the “vermin” (i.e., all the normal Americans).

      Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym “Fast” for quick recognition.

      Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack

      Arms - hold up arms if one falls…

      Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly

      Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn’t have time

      Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies should drop out and seek treatment for the dementia. It’s getting bad, it’s sad. The only reason he’s still running is if he doesn’t win, his ass is going to jail.

    “Trump is slurring in a way I’ve never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he’s had a conversation with a fellow human.”

    Oh, wow… that’s how you kill two birds with one cleverly-worded sentence.

    Brava 👏

    Trump was full of invective at the NABJ conference where he complained their technical incompetence delayed proceedings. Turns out the delay was because he objected to being fact checked and they nearly threw him out. (They should have thrown him out, but he showed his feces anyways)

          That’s great timing. He’d have a day or so to screech about the votes for everyone’s amusement. Then dying soon after would help stop this election’s insurrectionists from doing terrorist attacks on the country.

      I haven’t been following too closely, but I thought he was more worried/upset about the dems swapping Biden for Kamala than the assassination attempt.

      • You don’t have to watch the news to know that the dude is completely rattled after a sniper took like eight shots at him and got him with a piece of one of them. If it was an inch to the other direction it would have torn off the side of his head. It was traumatic for Trump, to be sure.

        He’s been very obviously getting more senile over the last few months, even before Biden dropped out and before he got shot.
