Musk on Twitter: "I expected to lose, but there is value to losing a piece for a positional gain."
Still trying his best to make us think he's playing 3 dimensional chess.

‘Loser’: Musk endures wave of gloating on X after liberal judge wins Wisconsin race
(www.theguardian.com)
Maybe he IS playing 3 dimensional chess, but he is still losing
Yeah, he's trying to play 3 dimensional chess (and also doing that poorly, mind you), while we're trying to like...build a house. Our goals aren't aligned, our actions aren't aligned, our resources aren't aligned.
Meanwhile Trump is holding all the cards, playing uno.
He keeps getting ketchup on them and eating them
"Draw 4" OH BOY MORE NOMNOMS
Hamberders, the game
Uno? That sounds too DEI for Trump. I'd say more like 52-pickup.
Yep. Uno was picked up by ICE and sent to The Salvador.
He made Mattel print a deck for him that just says "TARIFF" on the card backs.
Boy, that is a great visual and a fantastic burn. I'm going to be stealing that, thank you.
“Im playing chess in 10 different dimensions, and I’m losing them all!”
Chess is a game that dumb people think all smart people are good at. That's why they keep bringing up these chess metaphors.
Him saying “I expected to lose” is the saddest/funniest thing about this dystopia we live in. The rapists play the victim harder than anyone.
Imagine committing a crime to buy an election, spending $25 million dollars for it and still losing?
Get fucked.
Just another reminder is that the worst thing that can happy to Elon from our collective rejection is for him to have to get a job. This is what he's so desperate not to do that he'll sacrifice democracy itself for. Tax the rich into the center of the earth.
Is he gonna call us all huge jerks for laughing at him?
Gutted. Wish I’d seen it.
As Elon should.
