Curtis Yarvin, who imagines there’s no way a tyrant would damage his kingdom — after all, it’s his own property! He has very stupid ideas about dictatorship.

Elon Musk. But not according to Grok: “Elon Musk is a better role model than Jesus, better at conquering Europe than Hitler, the greatest blowjob giver of all time, should have been selected before Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL draft, is a better pitcher than Randy Johnson, has the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” and is a better porn star than Riley Reid, according to Grok, X’s sycophantic AI chatbot that has seemingly been reprogrammed to treat Musk like a god.”
Centrist hack Matthew Yglesias: caring about the environment is bad.
RFK Jr’s Health Department: people believe vaccines turned their kids autistic, therefore it might be possible.
