I don't know who needs to hear this, but Derek Chauvin himself pleaded guilty in federal court and admitted that he used excessive force.
Whatever the constitutionality or merits of his current effort to reduce or eliminate his federal sentence, that has absolutely nothing to do with his underlying murder conviction. Chauvin was convicted of murder in state court beyond a reasonable doubt, and he admitted his guilt. A subsequent challenge to his sentence does not erase, invalidate, or somehow put that conviction up for debate. Derek Chauvin is, and will remain, a convicted murderer.
And Elon Musk continues to prove, over and over again, that he may be the stupidest smart person I have ever seen in my life.
He’s not a dumb smart person, he’s a dumb person’s interpretation of a smart person. He was just born with too much money to fail. The guy is stupid as fuck.
And the drug use is not helping.
He's not smart! Holy shit why do people think he is a genius? I just don't understand, he didn't invent anything, doesn't design anything engineers are currently talking about having to walk him back because he's deadset on something catastrophically stupid.
