sorry but i’m siding with the guy who:
—built rockets while politicians built narratives
—put his entire fortune on the line to revive American manufacturing
—got mocked, investigated, sued, and still showed up
—handed speech back to the public while every institution begged him not to
Elon never had to fight for this country, he chose to
and he’s still choosing to, in real time, with every risk he takes
can’t say that about most billionaires
can’t even say it about most presidents

@wholemars I’m not sure that reproduction with Ashley St Clair is going to stop the impending population collapse. But he’s definitely putting in a yeoman’s effort!

I am fed up with the number of unfeeling folks on this site spewing hate/anger at CA —at a time of crisis when millions here are experiencing trauma & loss. Maybe kindness towards your fellow Americans would serve better. And you may need the help of a Californian someday.

People who leave California for another state because California is an untenable mess - but bring their progressive politics with them is something I can tell you from my friends in Arizona is a big source of confusion and frustration for people.

CA Rep Maxine Waters takes umbrage with criticism of Democrats' handling of LA Wildfires:
Maxine Waters: "nstead of talking about Democrats and Republicans. Get the information up on the screens."
Chris Cuomo: "However, it can also be seen that you don't want to talk about the politics because it's on your party, because the mayor and the governor are Democrats who arguably should have had the people in Altadena better prepared for this. They should have the resources more available.
So they don't need me to put them up because this state has been doing the work and that they've been preparing the situations for wildfires like they were made aware of. Instead of cutting deals with PG and E and insurance companies, they would have prepared the state. That is not unfair criticism. Is it too soon? Maybe. But the questions are real."
Waters: "Let me tell you something. I'm not in the business of protecting anybody.
We should be willing to get the richest people in this country, the richest 1% that is protected, make sure they pay their fair taxes so that we can have the money to provide the services."
Maxine Waters saying the 'Quiet Part Out Loud' on behalf of the Democrat party: They only care about the richest 1%.

It’s devastating to think that for the most part, this was preventable. But government mismanagement , incompetence and poor planning will end up causing more than $200 billion in losses and the people who lost everything will never again have a comparable life to what they had before the fires.

This is devastating: The Los Angeles wildfires have now burned ~38,000 acres of land, or ~2.5 TIMES the size of Manhattan, NY. Estimated damages now exceed $150 BILLION in the costliest wildfire in US history. This fire will impact the US economy for decades. (a thread)

.@realDonaldTrump, as you prepare to assume the presidency once more, I invite you to come to California.
The hundreds of thousands of Americans – displaced from their homes and fearful for the future – deserve to see us all working together in their best interests, not politicizing a human tragedy and spreading disinformation from the sidelines.

NEW: I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.
