LAN party at Hilbert's HotelIf the highlighted were true, then Elon wouldn't be able to get anybody to boost his game accounts. Man is so thick he can't even work basic logic.

Shaking my damned head. The dude is so awkward I can almost believe he did that unintentionally. But just almost, of course. He's a far-right crony at the coronation of a far-right wannabe king. No way was that an accident.![]()
Trump Inauguration: Elon Musk Offers MAGA Rally Nazi-Like Salute, CNN Calls It “Odd Looking”
The world's richest man is strong supporter of right-wing politics, & made gestures today at a rally for Donald Trump's second inauguration that's caused controversydeadline.com
well now he’s out here sig hieling
Sometimes your inner voice gets the better of you?Shaking my damned head. The dude is so awkward I can almost believe he did that unintentionally. But just almost, of course. He's a far-right crony at the coronation of a far-right wannabe king. No way was that an accident.
Of course. Secretary of Doge Elon Musk will simply declare all other contractors to be "inefficient" and cancel all their contracts in favor of SpaceX.I am sure SpaceX is getting itself ready to accept the truckloads of money from the US government.
Really?IMHO this is it for Musk. Tesla will go down. SpaceX will go down. People will just leave. Everything will be ruined.
someone so clueless that they might do something like this unintentionally would have been weeded out of being government-adjacent long ago in a working political system.Shaking my damned head.

No. Musk has no ideology beyond "do what's good for Elon". He's not backing Trump because he thinks fascist policies are good (in fact he recently stated that one was bad for his companies), he's backing Trump because having a president in your pocket is a good way to grease the wheels. The same applies to Trump by the way. He's not right wing or left wing, he is Trump wing. He affects his political position because it gives him a base of power, no other reason.But just almost, of course. He's a far-right crony at the coronation of a far-right wannabe king. No way was that an accident.
We can't keep giving fascists the benefit of the doubt when they show us what they are.so what you're saying is, if he thought a sig hiel or two would make trump and his base happy then he'd do it.
fascist policies are good for the fascists, and he'd rather be in than out. i think it's splitting hairs to try and speculate what he really believes in his heart of hearts. and even then, he's proven himself to be a huge piece of ◊◊◊◊ a hundred times.
Well he can always get enough engineers from India on H1B I guess. Tesla stock dropped but not significantly (so far).Really?
I highly doubt that. Musk is too big to fail. He has ingrained his companies way too much by now to go down. Tesla, Space X etc. fans and customers world wide will be able to make all sorts of mental contortions to wave things away.
He has promoted neo-nazis on Twitter multiple times. He once agreed with someone who was promoting an idea that was two (goose)steps away from the Illinois Nazi scene from Blues Brothers.No. Musk has no ideology beyond "do what's good for Elon"
Look out for a new feature at X soon.One of the EOs Trump signed allows Musk to give top secret security clearance to anyone he chooses, without a background check or national security protocols.
It's to 'ease the backlog' apparently.
If true, that is amazingly dangerous.One of the EOs Trump signed allows Musk to give top secret security clearance to anyone he chooses, without a background check or national security protocols.
Security is time-consuming and inconvenient by definition,It's to 'ease the backlog' apparently.
He does support nazi beliefs about the jews as well, so why should a bit more nazi be supprising? Remember he regards this as the absolute truth "ewish communties (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."I amabsolutelyalmost certain that this is the case. The second time he did it, he said "my heart goes out to you" and his gesture mimes that. I think he is so tone deaf he didn't realise what he was really doing. In fact, it is possible somebody else who is a Nazi taught him the gesture, explaining it in the same way as I just did.
That seems extraordinarily unlikely. DOGE is an advisory committee, not a department of government. In what crazy* world would it have the power to hand out security clearances?One of the EOs Trump signed allows Musk to give top secret security clearance to anyone he chooses, without a background check or national security protocols.

This is all I've been able to find so far.That seems extraordinarily unlikely.
The Tesla board is just a bunch of Musk flunkeys and fanbois. Serious institutional investors should be very concerned about corporate governance but sadly institutional investors aren't that serious any more.Any normal corporation would have fired CEO Musk overnight.
I think that depends on what the Board thought the job of their CEO was.Any normal corporation would have fired CEO Musk overnight.
There's an awful lot of institutional fund managers who bet the house on Tesla, hence why very few analysts are willing to give an honest appraisal of the company's prospects (hard sell), as they'd be up that creek you go without a paddle if that happened.The Tesla board is just a bunch of Musk flunkeys and fanbois. Serious institutional investors should be very concerned about corporate governance but sadly institutional investors aren't that serious any more.
And there's the rub. The US has not had a working political system since at least the assassination of JFK.someone so clueless that they might do something like this unintentionally would have been weeded out of being government-adjacent long ago
in a working political system.
Yes.so what you're saying is, if he thought a sig hiel or two would make trump and his base happy then he'd do it.
I'm just not a fan of the fashion for describing every human turd as a Nazi.fascist policies are good for the fascists, and he'd rather be in than out. i think it's splitting hairs to try and speculate what he really believes in his heart of hearts. and even then, he's proven himself to be a huge piece of ◊◊◊◊ a hundred times.
He thinks they should all be gassed?He does support nazi beliefs about the jews as well,
I've spent almost the entirety of this thread pointing out that Musk is a lying liar. If he said the sky is blue, I'd go outside and check. I'm not going to start believing him just because he is saying things that play to my confirmation bias. Musk is not a Nazi, he is just saying these things for personal gain (in my opinion).so why should a bit more nazi be supprising? Remember he regards this as the absolute truth "ewish communties (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."
How much does someone have to show you they are a nazi for you to believe them?
Conversely, I'm a big fan of calling every nazi a nazi. That was one of the mistakes made in the interwar period, treating the far right as normal people with normal agendas, when it was clearly and obviously not the case.Yes.
I'm just not a fan of the fashion for describing every human turd as a Nazi.
He thinks they should all be gassed?
Just like many actual Nazi's in nazi germany. They were of course not real nazis even though they where high level officials as they were just in it for personal gain.I've spent almost the entirety of this thread pointing out that Musk is a lying liar. If he said the sky is blue, I'd go outside and check. I'm not going to start believing him just because he is saying things that play to my confirmation bias.

And it's looking quite successful at the moment.
