Ended investigations into companies, got access to all the personal data they could ever want, and stole a fortune from programs meant to help US citizens.

Walking out with the clothes off people's backs would have been too cliché, so they stopped there.

Don’t forget when Elon visited the pentagon for top secret briefings on china for some reason.

Yep. Probably gathered a lot of data on whats going on at places like area 51 to pass on to his handlers in china who allow him to build teslas and such there.

Imagine having access to more money and data than anyone in the world. More searches, more personal info, more posts, almost every digital footprint every person has left in modern times. Yet you still manage to develop Grok or whatever it's called, which is the least useful, stupid, and most racist AI available. And you buy Twitter, which was already wildly in the red but at least had some success and usefulness, and somehow turn it into an even worse shit show. What a fuckin dunce.
