Elon Musk took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) today. It was… an interesting show, by all accounts.
Sarah Jeong at The Verge has a transcript of Musk’s time on stage. Highlights include “I am become meme”, waving a chainsaw around after it was gifted to him by Argentine President Javier Milei, loads of bullshit claims such as “In Europe, they put people in jail for memes!” and a 306 year old Social Security recipient (see previous posts – he doesn’t understand the data he’s looking at).
He also never removed his sunglasses, slurred words, couldn’t form a lot of coherent sentences, lost trains of thought and devolved into giggles mid-statement. I’ve been around people on drugs a lot in my day, and this guy was likely high as a fucking kite on a cocktail of things.
