    Talk about a load of revisionist bullshit. Musk boosts claim that Hitler wasn't to blame for the holocaust. Keep supporting him anyway maga. Own it!
    Yeah, I know the link is MSN, MUSK STILL SAID IT!

    One of the fun parts of that was watching knuckle-dragging MAGA - who haven't yet grasped the concept of the multinational corporation - boycott Bud Lite by switching to over InBev products. Never stop being you MAGA!

    Many don’t know that the only American owned “large” brewery is Yuengling.

    It’s also the only one non union.

    Another heroic moment for an American hero.

    Sam Adams (Boston Beer co) is a little smaller than Yuenling by volume but American owned as well. Unless they sold recently. I don't follow it as closely as I used to

    Molson-Coors is an American/Canadian conglomerate, and when they become the 51st state it will be all American ...

    Yuengling isnt a macro brewery, so they still fall into the craft brewery range too of which plenty are American owned. To be fair though, they are the largest craft brewer.

    I don't even know who qualifies as craft anymore with all the acquisitions and mergers. Like I'm pretty sure New Belgium isnt anymore

    I think they are still a craft brewery as its own entity, but they are owned by Kirin, which isn't, so like you I dunno how it works, technically. I kinda soured on them after they gave up employee-owned and sold out (though I'm happy for the employees who cashed in). Also changing Ranger to Voodoo Ranger lost me too. Their beer is still good though, and one of the best brewery tours you can do. If someone hands me a Fat Tire, I'm not refusing.

    I've heard that in honor of Musk's contributions to government, Tesla's truck offering will be re-named the Clustertruck. You won't want one, but you will have to deal with it at some point, so you might as well get used to it. It's overweight, slow, and has disaster written all over it, but some people will admire it till the day they die. Someday, you'll be able to look back at 2025 and say "That was the biggest Clustertruck I ever saw!" Campaigns from Alaska to Key West will reference the Clustertruck to help voters decide what to vote for: "Vote for me if you don't want another Clustertruck in D.C.!"

    The Muskrat floats the idea that his Clustertruck is able to be used as an amphibious vehicle if the need arises, but when one actually goes in the water, it sinks like a JD Vance speech at a Haitian immigrant convention.

    After Elon Musk Promised Cybertrucks Could Function as Boats, One Fell Into a Harbor for a Perfect Test

    Yeah, the cyber truck can also be a boat… lol.

    This thing was also supposed be bullet proof, have unbreakable windows, get 500 miles per charge, fit full sheets of plywood in the bed, be fully self driving, etc., etc…. AND cost less than $40k…. That’s what all the people who made early deposits were told…. And was far far from the end result. No wonder he gets along so well Trump…. Two “say anything to promote myself” con men.

    The glue holding the pickup truck’s stainless steel exterior in place is failing for many Tesla customers, causing its sides to protrude.”
