18. "Meanwhile, Elon Musk just became a trillionaire"

THAT'S the (excuse me) real money shot here. Yes, racism and police violence are serious problems and this is a particularly nasty and egregious example of police overreaction and, quite probably, race-based profiling.

But the alleged offense was shoplifting a pack of diapers.

While Elon tries to imagine ways to use a trillion dollars to keep fucking over the non-human, unimportant people who aren't billionaire techbro nerds.

We are full "Tale of Two Cities" now, people.

And the MAGAts are STILL attributing everything that's wrong in their lives to everyone EXCEPT the greedy white male assholes who laugh at them and plan more ways to fuck them over.

disgustedly,
Bright
