The next scandal involving Musk should be called Elongate.

Following the Watergate scandal, ‘-gate’ became the suffix to name subsequent scandals.
I propose stories associated with Trump, and other stupid scandals, be encrusted with the suffix ‘-a-Lago’.
I think there’s scope for dedicating an entire community to them, like c/MAG_a_Lago.
As for Elongate, Musk explicitly requested it be used, which should be reason enough to not.
I think twatgate would be more appropriate
The next scandal involving musk should be that he wasn't assassinated sooner.
This is a terrible take. Introducing violence into politics always, always, leads to dark places nobody wanted to go. Besides being wrong, it's completely counter-productive.
PS. Yeah, downvoting doesn't make you right to advocate cold-blooded murder that would probably trigger civil war. Jesus.
politics is violent, inherently. taxation is violent, inherently. policing is violent, inherently. control of another is violent, inherently.
the state is, by definition, a monopoly on violence. dont pretend you are above inflicting pain on others.
Unfortunately those in charge only listen to violence.
"Elongate" is too flattering towards him.
didn't he write a tweet literally saying this? maybe 4 years ago?
Yeah, after he sexually harassed a flight attendant and laughed about it on Twitter.
I hate that I like this. The gate thing is super overused. But this one works.
