Just had dinner in North Beach. Out on the side walk. Had a lovely time as always. What the fuck are these people on? There are seedy streets in the city. Sure. But overall San Francisco is peaceful.

Wait so billionaire piece of shit who is constantly tripping all day demands war on drugs… against the people who stopped buying his trash vehicles is somehow correct?
I guess the regime isn’t imprisoning enough minorities fast enough for his puppeteers.
Daily reminder:
During a news conference with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in March 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "They rigged the election, and I became president."
This is a law enforcement issue, not a military issue.
No it's a public health issue.
The streets of San Francisco are fine. There’s no need for any of this shit. If billionaires are scared. Maybe use their money to better the neighborhoods they are scared of.
Boot out the neo-Nazi sack of shit drug addict back to South Africa.
San Francisco was fine until the tech bros came in and priced everyone out. Poverty creates mental illness and that fuels addiction. Might get better if these tech bros paid taxes at a 90% rate like they would have in the 1950’s and we used that to fund universal healthcare but they seem to be pushing for a genocide instead. Who would have guessed that giving hundreds of billions of dollars to racist/sexist apartheid South Africans would be bad for America? /s
I hope I'm wrong but I fully believe a crackdown on cannabis is coming.
Look at the "medical cannabis" industry in Florida... That's where it's going. They will eliminate the farm bill and introduce more shitty moldy corporate weed that costs an arm and a leg with no taxes.
2016 AND 2020 Liberals on social media were like "could you PLEASE stop fear-mongering, none of us are happy about this administration but there's no point in making up this kind of nonsense and riling people up for no reason. They won't take away abortion, medical care, porn, video games or pot, what political leader would do something so dumb as to make the people mad at them?"
The war on drugs has gone so well so far.
I'm sure this time they'll win, they just have to crack down much harder, driving the value of drugs up even MORE, no way that will have consequences.
The important thing is it's making the investors in police and military equipment and the people who run private professions wealthy and disproportionately harming minorities
Back in the nineties.... D.A.R.E. to keep kids off drugs! Scruff McCruff Chicago Illinois 60612?
- I'm sad that this jingle is still in my head but so many other things I have forgotten.
My daughter always complained that no one had ever offered her free drugs to try to get her hooked. I spent a day walking around a farmers market with a pocket full of canamels handing them out to anyone who wanted them. On the way home I said, "Honey, I'm the guy they warned you about." She said, "Cannabis it's not addictive."
Guy on drugs wants war on drugs.
Maybe he misunderstood the phrase. He wants a war while on drugs
It's always been this way.
The war on drugs never affected rich people or their children, only poor people who struggle to buy the drugs and find a private space to use them.
I don't think anyone should listen to this Ketamine fueld cunt.
Bitch can end world hunger and US poverty over 3 times with his money but wants a military invasion and more federal funding for his own companies to get even richer.
Elon, you can go fuck yourself. It's the only way.
He wants all the ketamine for himself. DOGE will confiscate it all and then mysteriously disappear from a storage warehouse.
He's more ketamine than man now.
TIL we have to deploy troops and shoot drugs to end the "War on drugs"
Should we shoot up Big Opiod as well?
E.g. send them to Stamford, Connecticut and go after Purdue Pharma?
shut the fuck up, wannabe hitler
Where will he get his drugs from then...
Plot twist, it was a san franciscan that stiffed him once with some bad k
Rich coming from the drug addict
He needs a resupply
I'm willing to believe that Elon Musk is addicted to snorting the ashes of homeless people.
Oh look, it's America's Most Wanted.
Isn't he a big drug user? Does he really mean "war on poor people?"
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon
That's pretty much what the "war on (some) drugs" always was. Well, that and anyone else they wanted to go after - gays, Blacks, liberals, etc...with things like the cocaine vs. crack treatment really highlighting the hypocrisy. Not to mention statements made by key people like Ehrlichman...
Stick to cars buddy. Leave the sociology to those who at least care about humanity.
He's also not very good at cars
Too cheap to put lidars and as a result people are dead.
He’s a nepo baby who’s good at failing upward, in a society that caters to such people
JFC, what an asshole. This is the guy that uses ketamine, shrooms, ecstasy and who knows what else?
I love how the rules don't apply to any of these assholes, but the full force of the law should come down like a ton of bricks of anyone that's not at least a centimillionaire...
I think you mean hecto millionaire. (Centi sounds wrong to me for 100 million, more like centimeter)
They are synonyms. Centimillionaire and hectomillionaire mean the same thing.
That might be, but my brain thought it was 10,000 dollars, or 0.01 million. I blame the language
Are you trying to be daddy's favourite again Elon?
Is this moron still alive? We had been blessed with not hearing about him for some time.... I guess the ket is wearing off.
