So good

Not all agree

My understanding is LA has burned to the ground. A congressman said so.
comment in response to post
Also he says they should be praising him that they would be nothing without him. That’s some bananas shit right there.
comment in response to post
“May” lol. Appreciate why you have to say that though.
comment in response to post
Maybe the person is just a well meaning dummy who didn’t really think it through entirely.
comment in response to post
That is a trap they put themselves in but it is not the most significant one by a long shot. That would be the trap of committing crimes for the boss to prove loyalty. Even if they end up reforming themselves they will never be able to get out of that trap.

I love how he puts it as if this is all just routine. This is what happens eventually to democracies and don’t worry I’m mark carney and I have studied how this all shakes out and I knows what to do and everything is going to be fine. That may very well be what happens.

It’s russia.

I have no doubt they will be free to continue their activities and even flourish because this FBI won’t stop them. If Putin were to fly a few battalions into Washington DC i’m not sure this president would try and stop them. He’d probably welcome them.

Very. Feels like that’s where this is headed though.

This is what I feared would never happen. They want to use my money to destroy the United States and demonize me at the same time? I don’t think so.

Lest we forget he mysteriously was planning 1/6.

I wouldn’t be so sure

Any decent developer can go somewhere and ask a few qs to find out where the data is and then once they demand and get access, it is trivially easy to copy the data. And it’s not necessarily what they would do with the data ( though that’s bad ) but where are the copies and how secure are they, etc

100%. And if Trump wants he can pin it on Musk and he will probably get away with it
comment in response to post
Yup and it wasn’t even that hard. It was big news that he was arrested And then sentenced to 10 years And everyone moved on with their lives He’s lucky to be alive after all of it and when it’s all said and don’t Elon will be too Doubt Elon realizes that
comment in response to post
He’ll be lucky if he gets away with just deportation. Not that they need a reason but he probably committed crimes and this DOJ and FBI will come for him. Khodorkovsky was imprisoned for 10 years just 6 months after publicly challenging Putin. Doubt Musk lasts 6 weeks.
comment in response to post
Elon doesn’t realize he’ll be lucky if all he gets is deported and his government contracts cancelled.
comment in response to post
It took only six months from when Khodorkovsky publicly spoke out against Putin for him to be arrested and he did not get out of prison for 10 years. If Elon makes it 6 weeks I’ll be shocked.
comment in response to post
It took only six months from when Khodorkovsky publicly spoke out against Putin for him to be arrested. I wonder how long it will take Elon. I guess it’ll be much much faster.
comment in response to post
Read about Mikhael Khodorkovsky
comment in response to post
I have been saying this for months. He committed a lot of crimes over the last several months.
comment in response to post
Or that he committed a lot of crimes at Trump’s behest that Trump can use to put him in jail? Like tomorrow he can have him arrested and the DOJ can argue that he is a flight risk.
comment in response to post
He’s going to be imprisoned a la Khodorkovsky
comment in response to post
Read about Mikhael Khodorkovsky for a glimpse into Elon’s future ( and ours )

Laying a predicate for accepting whatever terrible response Russia may have
comment in response to post
Intervening because world leaders are concerned about WW3
comment in response to post
That is ominous. Trump helping him lay the predicate for what?
comment in response to post
I guess we all just moved on from signalgate and we have no idea whether they stopped using it or they fired anyone who would mention it. Let’s be real it’s the latter.
comment in response to post
I’ve been predicting this for ages. Every aspiring autocrat needs a Mikhael Khodorkovsky to make it crystal clear to the oligarchs who is in charge. That will be Elon.
comment in response to post
1. Buy into Trump BS on immigration 2. Get a job with admin because you are a true believer 3. Learn on the job that everything more or less was running ok and the Trump admin expects you to do some crazy illegal and immoral shit 4. Leak it to Washington examiner is the only option you have
comment in response to post
People really don’t compute that this is what they think because it’s so bananas

Hey, maybe the tone is different here after all
