Probably many incriminating emails. I would be particularly interested to know if there's anything about Elon trying to drill for natural gas in Texas circa 2021. Anything to do with the Boring Company really

Or if Abbot pulled some strings to provide Elon's lithium battery plant with water during a drought

Really I'm sure sky's the limit in terms of what kind of shady shit you could find when you start draining the swamp.

Because he doesn't have to.

No one in Texas is going to hold him accountable and the people who care can't vote him out.

embarrassing

That's an odd eay to spell "incriminating."

Guess Abbott won't release it because it contains:

Elon: I put on my robe and wizard hat!

Musk kept telling Abbott how he could have his SpaceX engineers create a new wheelchair for him that could be reused after an orbital launch.

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or maybe it was more like a robotaxi wheelchair that violates traffic laws and drives automatically into oncoming traffic.

He kept trying to jab Abbott with a neuralink probe while saying "Resistance is futile"
