Elon Musk the Russia attack? emptywheel maybe concurs. "I am saying that experts like those from CATO look at DOGE and cannot tell what it is doing...(I)ts claimed goal — cost-cutting — is false. But no one has ruled out something far more sinister..."

Of course this arrogant prick is behind this election manipulation. He needs a ride to the train station or whatever rock he crawled out from under to worm his slimey way into this country. And he can shove his stupid cars and satellites up his ass as he leaves.

I wish Biden would stop playing nice and just cancel the contracts and maybe issue an executive order that convicted felons and rapists can't serve in the oval office.... But no he's too concerned about his image when his enemies will remain his enemies... It's all about aesthetics with the Democrats while Republicans spread their shit on capital walls (literally) in the name of freedom

"beady little apartheid eyes".... I love it.

Not to promote Mel Gibson or anything, but one of my favorite movie scenes from Lethal Weapon 2

Detective Murtaugh (Danny Glover) "Free South Africa, you dumb son of a bitch!"

Leo (Joe Pesci) ..."ya dumb son of a bitch!"

Musk sold his soul to the devil for a pardon when Tesla collapses and makes Bernie Madoff look like a purse snatcher by comparison.

But SpaceX doesn’t even make all the parts for the shit they get government contracts for. I have to wonder how Elon has been allowed to quash competition because he’s Elon. Oh and he and Trump are walking talking examples of why DEI matters. Those two assholes are so gullible and easily manipulated, and you’ll never convince me they’re the brightest and the best.

Ta, Evan. It is imperative that we keep Traitor Tot out of office forever. Once Harris-Walz are elected and we expand our Senate majority and take back the House, we can deal with muskrat (yeah, I know, muskrat libel).

This. It's imperative to put pressure on a (devoutly wished-for) Harris administration to start figuring out how to cut ties and break contracts with Musk, who's essentially just as much, if not more of, an enemy agent than Trump is.

Musk got putinized through his longtime friend David Sacks who is yet another vulture capitalist. who wants Putin to be his real daddy.

"In early October, Musk proposed a negotiated settlement to Russia’s war in Ukraine that mirrored arguments Sacks had made in a piece a week earlier for The American Conservative. Political consultant Ian Bremmer later wrote that Musk said he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had influenced Musk’s peace offer. Musk denied Bremmer’s report. On Twitter, Sacks backed Musk’s proposal and argued that the backlash generated—for example, against Musk’s suggestion that Russia should be given the Ukrainian region of Crimea—was the product of a “woke mob” that, Sacks later wrote in Newsweek, would cause the next world war. In a tweet, Musk praised the Sacks piece as “exceptionally well-said.”

I had been trying to ignore all of Musk's garbage in Twitter and hoping that he'd keep his hands off SpaceX, which has been giving good value to the US but this revelation that he's talking frequently to Putin is one fascist too far. Musk definitely needs to be investigated and I think he needs to relinquish all involvement with SpaceX.

This looks like a perfect team. A babbling idiot to draw attention to himself and a half-smart tech geek who never developed any empathy. Or other social skill. He just plows through the crowd like a "Soylent Green" people scooper.

Oh, so is THIS the October surprise? That the Muskrat's companies have been tootlin on the side with Russia despite all the juicy US government contracts that forbid that sort of thing?

The stupidest thing that Americans commonly do is assume wealth equals intelligence.

That fell apart when the robber barons of the Golden Age croaked off and left the first generations of inbreds to manage things.

Lots of corporations outsourcing to India and Brazil whose leaders are getting cozy with Putin because profits over national security. Insider threats galore.

Letting the rich run everything is ruining the security of our nation.
