For anyone who’s seen the quintessential slasher classic “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” the destructive power of a man wielding a chainsaw is the indisputable stuff of nightmares.

But the same could easily be said about this year’s remake featuring Elon Musk, where the dancing chainsaw slasher reenacted, for Conservative Political Action Conference theatergoers, a scene eerily reminiscent of the original. I’m thinking, specifically, of that unforgettable final scene, where Leatherface fades to black swinging his gas-powered murder weapon wildly through the air as he helplessly watches his last potential victim make her last-minute daring escape, dangling from the back of a stranger’s pickup truck.

Unfortunately for America — Musk’s America, Trump’s America — there is no stranger, there is no pickup truck. Only the chainsaw.

    Who do you blame though. The guy who has the info or the guy who game him access to it? In the end, someone else will take the blame alltogether

      It will probably be someone like Big Balls.

      It’s obvious that both donvict and fElon should be rotting in prison for the rest of their fucking lives for what they’ve done, but I am nearly 100% sure that will never happen.

      Who else do you blame? The fault obviously lies with some low-level lackey that nobody has ever heard of.

        Well i blame the people who elected the persons who make decisions like these (and the ones who didn’t vote against them)
