“SpaceX, Netscape...
What’s next for the Trump crowd?”
Kindly explain what that means and why a firm hiring Daniel Penny is connected to the “Trump crowd”.
What’s next? Before State of the Union, Elon Brings the marooned astronauts home and they are sitting with Melania.
I thought he was studying architecture?
You would think that he was sought after, because he showed his principles when he stopped that perp.
That’s what I’ve read.
Good for him, but the guy can’t be too bright if he still lives in that Nazi city and rides the subway every day.
Kindly explain
Here goes:

So? You got a problem with that? By the way, Netscape has been dead for 30 years, blockhead.
You seem to have a problem.
Care to explain?
Yes. It seems you have a problem with Trump, your “Trump crowd” remark.
