A loutish, primitive toddler and an entitled, testosterone-addled adolescent. Easy to see why they get along so well. What could possibly go wrong?

Musk looks down his nose at Trump as an intellectual nitwit. Right now Trump is useful to him but if he loses Musk will toss him aside.

Strip him of his DOD contracts. I'd really like to see Apartheid Boy shipped back to South Africa.

That would be a danger to national security, unfortunately.

Please suggest something that we non-rich people can do to stop this lunatic. Can't he be arrested? Surely millions of us can unite to save our country, and I'm not talking about voting. Pressure on the DoD? Boycotts? What do you think, Lucian?

Lucian, please stay on the Musk story: too much money, too little sense, too much influence.

-Worth repeating, if Trump prevails in this election the nation deserves what follows. Not the good people thoug, the nation. Even if the Ds control both chambers Trump will govern by fiat (EOs) every chance given to him.

-Personally watching the polling in states Trump won twice including those he won going away. Not seeing the same support levels. Find those states to be instructive in how the election will unfold. Same w/the states where wimmins reproductive rights/healthcare are on the ballot.

-Torn between which face is more punchable, Vance's or Musk's. Not condoning violence, simply stating niithah one ever was involved in a fistfight. Jasmine Crockett D-TX) could handle both w/o breaking a nail. Note: Find Elon Musk's Mum to be stranger than her son.

-Remain optimistic Trump will continue to spew more and more cray-cray with each passing week. Doing so will have an adverse effect on moderate Independents and increase voter turnout in the 18-35 age group. .

read also about his Grandfather (mother’s side) in The Atlantic:

Elon Musk’s Anti-Semitic, Apartheid-Loving Grandfather

The billionaire has described his grandfather as a risk-taking adventurer. A closer read of history reveals something much darker.

Thank you for that link. Very interesting (and repulsive and a bit scary) background info.

Good read. Aligns with and compliments what many of us know about the Musk family and others like them in S.A. The entire continent is one with a dark history that includes colonization and forced religious conversion of the indigenous peoples. Some continues to this day albeit from Ru and the PRC.

The exploitation and brutality associated with centuries of outsiders is shameful and indefensible. Yet Trump labels the entire continent as shit-hole countries.

To cite one example that covers both colonization and forced religious conversion is what is commonly known as the Berbers. A name the British used to describe the people who made rugs. The invading Arabs referred to the same as the people God forgot.

In truth they are the ~blue people~ so named for their unique died blue attire and the ink they wear (tats). Of all the people on this wonderous Blue Marble, they arguably have the darkest eyes, a blue-black most associate with the color of a shiny black stallion.

Much like the Basques the traditional ~blue people~ have never been conquered, colonized, or converted to Islam. They are fierce warriors whether they are wimmin or men.

You know I have never liked this ass hole and now there are two. I also have never had any interest in buying one of his cars or anything associated with his business. Unfortunately, our military is buying, as he is trying to destroy us. 🤬

How did the Pentagon get that stupid?

Nobody else can do what he does. They are fucked.

He doesn’t do anything, if he was removed from the mix those companies would continue to operate just fine.

They might even do better than they are doing currently, if Elmo was taken out of the mix.

That's the difference between Musk and Trump. Musk is actually as intelligent as Trump thinks Trump is.

Money can make people stupid, while they think they are brilliant. Kind of like alcohol.

The Pentagon buys/rents ALL of its equipment from private parties.

Isn't. that kind of the definition of military intelligence?

My favorite nephew has worked for Tesla in Cali for years on the company's elite proving team. He's a cool young man, and his gig – flying around the US and to Europe to test new Tesla models at various proving tracks – is rather cool too (though he admits it could pay better). For a while I was rather chuffed he had an essential role at what seemed an innovative company.

Now I keep resisting the urge, but likely won't much longer, to suggest he quit, especially after Muskrat made vile remarks about trans women, including his own trans daughter. My nephew's GF/partner ia trans, and an amazing woman; I adore her. They're a wonderful couple.

Plua I live in Austin, which Leon Musky has invaded. Teslas have become a local status symbol. And Tesla drivers are generally the most arrogant and uppity bad drivers in a city where aggressively inconsiderate and dangerous driving is a plague. Plus his ventures here are pursued as if the rules and being at least a somewhat considerate corporate neighbor don't apply to them.

He is a psychopathic shitbag who seems to think that being born on third base makes him some kind of genius and political and social sage. He is lower than whale poop.

But I have to say that two or three years ago, Teslas were status symbols in the Bay Area. Now, a big yawn. Some people are unloading theirs. And one of my husband's friends, who owns three, is now driving his Bolt much more often.

A few years ago I decided to buy an electric car. Musk was the main reason I wouldn’t buy a Tesla. Instead I bought a car made locally (I’m in Detroit) by union workers.

Hmm, my son owns a Bolt and my husband just leased an Equinox.

Way to go, Ken! The one vehicle made here in ATX is the fug-ugly Tesla cybertruck that keeps getting recalled. Cursed by Musk!

My daughter worked in an admin building at Bay Area Tesla,being vague I know, she and others would duck into any office available if they saw musk coming down the Hall in an attempt to avoid him.
