As much as I'm in favor of 'defusing' tensions between the US & Iran, what on earth is a private citizen, a billionaire GOP donor, the owner of Twitter!, doing meeting with Iranian diplomats? The same guy who claims to want government transparency?

Let me write the headline for you Asperger's baby who inherited millions of dollars is being totally inept as a functioning human.
And this came from Twitter/// X
😲🤷♂️
This guy has security clearance too and I'm pretty sure Iran is on a list of countries you cannot even go to so it's interesting seeing him speak to Iranian diplomats...
I reckon this is a method of psychological warfare the Pentagon is testing. If a man that looked like a wax statue left in the desert did jumping jacks at me long enough I'd give anything to make it stop.
They'll all get their version of the Nuremburg trials soon enough. one reason why we are lucky is that the whole administration is so f-cking stupid, that they will be easy to get. We'll be coming for you MAGA!
He's doing a negotiation for Vlad. Vlad needs drones that won't be available after the US/Israel blows them to Hell in Syria so he needs to deconflict this shit ASAP.
Elon is playing WW3 general while slashing corporate taxes and regulations to enrich himself. I'm getting the impression now that Project 2025 was merely the tip of the iceberg on how bad things will get.
Despite the fact that he wasn't on any ballot, he is now President Muck. And he probably intends to be more than that. At some point, Putin and the other dictators will realize, if they haven't already.
They’re not even in Office yet; it’s gonna be so much worse than we can imagine — and half of our neighbors, family, and friends chose this just to “own” us.
Trump's selection of rogues to serve in government is so much worser than last time. Is it an example of the much vaunted theory that Trump can apply all he learnt last time for a greater effect this time? Cos I'm doubtful!
it's f'in ridiculous! though at this point probably not even in top 5. honestly, how long can it last? this sick bromance? donny doesn't like it when people steal his spotlight!
Doing all kinds of shady deals. Probably like I’ll give you $10M in cash if u leave the US alone. Then they’ll claim a Win! Trump knows how to be tough. Please.
I suspect Musk interprets “transparency” as he can see everything whilst others cannot.
Much like Musk interprets “free speech” as he can say anything whilst others are blocked.
And where the fuck is the CURRENT ADMINISTRATION on this?!? This is a blatant Logan Act violation if I've ever seen one and it also has to violate countless security clearance provisions. Like what in the actual fuck?!?
The smiling Biden/Trump pics are freaking me out. I’m deciding that it is likely just a massive denial/disbelief of the level of evil and fuckery that has been voted in. My eyes are still open,tho.
Never thought I'd say these words sober, but I feel sorry for Marco Rubio if he's going to be spending every day of his tenure as Secretary of State wondering what this prancing dipshit is up to.
Logan Act Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, 1/2
with intent to influence the ....conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent..., in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. 2/2
Security clearance? Iranians are serious people and any spillage of information on twitter by its owner could be disastrous. What is Biden doing about this?
Well Mehdi, I believe the correct answer for the Daily Double would be What is collusion with a foreign adversary, in direct contravention with national security interests, and preemptively undermining the current sitting government? What’d I win?
If government transparency is truly the goal, why are key conversations between a tech magnate and foreign diplomats happening outside official channels? Public trust is built on accountability—not billionaires blurring the lines between private influence and foreign policy
His cars explode. His rockets explode. His website explodes. His presidential campaign launches explode. His GOTV efforts explode. What is his Iranian diplomacy going to do?
I have never though Musk to be a particularly coherent speaker.
And I doubt he has briefed himself thoroughly in the complexities of US/Iran issues.
And I doubt that Trump has given him free rein either.
Most that might be is that he is delivering a simple message from trump.
Is this even legal?!? We all know trump flouted the law in colluding with Putin & BB while a private citizen! WHERE IS THE FUCKING OUTRAGE & CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS?!?!?
Did you notice that the two foreign countries he's engaged with (Ukraine & Iran) both have large lithium deposits? Seems like a corruption play to secure minerals he needs for batteries in exchange for some favor from US government
Well I am a firm believer that if a tree falls in the forest with no one to hear it, it does indeed make a noise. If the conditions are met, the noise still exists whether I hear it or not.
If the conditions of a crime are met, it's a crime regardless.
I very much agree with you on that. However, until there is someone with the authority and the political will to punish him for that (and having both of those is very important) in a practical sense it is legal. Yes, the noise exists. Do the people who can do something about that want to?
I get where you're coming from. I, too, have lost all faith in our justice system. Apparently, it exists now only to keep the pee-ons in line. Anyone with any significant amount of money or power is treated with every benefit under the sun. America has QUICKLY become a plutocracy.
The same people complaining endlessly about George Soros controlling everything and the richest man on the planet is openly campaigning, on phone calls, and spending every waking moment with the President elect. And it's crickets.
This is actually the point. Unconventional, even erratic behavior as a way to grow expectations for their voters base and the ensuing chaos as a screen to "prove" they are "bringing change".
Any failures (there will be plenty), will always be someone else's fault. Obviously.
He's transactional like trump. He lacks any self awareness or how close he comes to the line he will be tempted to cross. He is a narcissist thin-skinned hero in his own mind.
Remember this as well money can buy you the fanciest most expensive casket, but all the money in the world can't make you come out of that 6 foot hole and be alive again.
exactly. what on earth. the confluence of private interests with the priveleges/responsibilities of elected officials is moving at the speed of light - no guardrails - establishment of the transnational, transactional oligarch class well under way.
Let me put it this way: there is no way to OVER-imagining this and what will happen. People need to believe their eyes, and the clear trajectory of the last several years. Vectors in physics have clear trajectories.
Trump said Iran was the enemy and Biden was too soft on them. Now they're friends?
Trump said China was an enemy that Biden did business with. They're next on the Friends-of-Trump list.
We know where Russia is with Trump.
Especially prior to Jan 21 2025. And especially prior to his security clearance being granted. I still will have a problem following those things, but it is undeniable fact that prior to them, he has no business meeting with anyone
This is bad. If he's alienating the Iranians the way he is allegedly alienating the Mara Lago clan, we're in deep diplomatic shit. ICYMI, he's kind of a dick.

Also, I’m so glad you are here on BlueSky!!!

Like transparency he won't want 'govt efficiency' to affect his millions worth of govt contracts.
But more seriously, this is bang-up Logan Act stuff, attempting backdoor diplomacy with actual representatives of a hostile foreign government.
Trump, probably.
Saudi Arabia has to be concerned with this since they too have been in a proxy war with Iran for years.
Sadly, I think we will look fondly upon the days where Kushner and Co. were the nepo babies of choice.
Musk is an oligarch
Nevermind.
Much like Musk interprets “free speech” as he can say anything whilst others are blocked.
Do we even have a functioning government at the moment? Wtf is happening?
I don't trust him one bit.

The UN needs to be setting foreign policy of all nations to be under the eyes of international law.
Comrade Antonio, oligarch Musk does not represent common citizens' interests. I'm tired of this democratic charade.
The oligarchs are.

Yes?
No?
Or doesn't stuff like that apply any longer?

You get that? NO limits. It is like math numbers ad infinitum. Speaking from experience. Too bad how an entire nation will have to find out.

white asshole psychopaths
white rich asshole psychopaths!
