Musk is a cunt and Tesla are shit

isn't being acting vice president of USA enough for him?

Oh c’mon, Trump is just Papa Elon’s lapdog at this point. The next 4yrs are going to be batshit mental.
Obviously Nige will brown nose anyone for £50 and a brick of Rothmans so will no doubt go back to sucking up to them both after licking his wounds for a few days.

yeah i was debating whether to write "acting VP" or president. president probably more accurate.

I see parallels between musk and Howard Hughes, he will be on the Mormon purebred blood transfusions and bottling his urine next.

Musk is backing Rupert Lowe now, obviously not a Southampton fan

Is Musk simply (and very childishly) reacting to Farage giving him 99.9% but not 100% backing over the "Jess Philips and Starmer are paedo war criminals" thing? Farage has been defending him though all the controversies of the last week, but at one point said something like "Elon may go slightly over the top some times but this is free speech - which Elon has done a lot to defend - and you don't always get what you like with that." Is Musk so childish to attack him for that? Why, yes he is.

Or is it because the one thing Farage explicitly disagreed with him about is having "Tommy Robinson" join Reform? Still very childish but a clear marker of just how fascist he wants to take things.

Grok is free on twitter, so I asked it why Elon likes Putin so much, and how Putin's ambitions in Africa might dovetail with Elon's business interests. The replies were very fulsome. Here are some extracts:

Musk's interactions with Putin might be motivated by his vision of himself as a global power broker. Reports suggest that Musk has been in regular contact with Putin since late 2022, discussing a range of topics from business to geopolitics. These conversations could be part of Musk's strategy to influence international affairs or to secure business opportunities in regions where Russia has influence. For instance, Musk's SpaceX has significant business in space technology, where international cooperation could be beneficial. However, these interactions also raise concerns about national security due to Musk's involvement with U.S. government contracts and his access to sensitive information.

Putin has publicly praised Musk, calling him a "smart person" and an "outstanding individual". This mutual admiration could be part of a public relations strategy where both leaders benefit from the association.

The reported conversations have sparked significant concern among U.S. officials regarding Musk's security clearance and the potential for information leaks or influence by foreign powers. The U.S. government's dependency on Musk's companies like SpaceX for national security purposes complicates the situation, leading to calls for investigations into these interactions.

Given the complexity and the speculative nature of these interactions, it's difficult to conclude definitively why Musk might "like" Putin. It could be a mix of business strategy, shared or divergent political views, personal admiration, or an attempt to navigate global politics for his companies' benefits.

Africa is rich in minerals and rare earth elements essential for tech and automotive industries, like lithium for batteries or cobalt for electronics. Russia has been increasing its economic footprint in Africa, particularly in resource-rich countries. Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX, require these materials. A stronger Russian presence could facilitate easier access or more favorable deals for Musk's enterprises.

With sanctions affecting Russian oil and gas exports, Putin's interest in African energy resources could lead to joint ventures or investments in oil and gas infrastructure, which might benefit Musk's ventures in clean energy by diversifying supply chains or exploring new technologies in these sectors.

Russia has historically been strong in space technology, and Putin's ambition to increase Russia's influence could involve partnerships or investments in satellite and space infrastructure. Musk's SpaceX could benefit from collaborative projects in Africa, where there's a growing demand for satellite internet services like Starlink. Putin's push into Africa could provide Musk with new markets or partnerships in space technology.

Musk's interest in futuristic transport solutions like Hyperloop could find a testing ground in Africa, where infrastructure projects could be part of Russia's broader economic strategy, possibly leading to joint ventures.

Both Putin and Musk have shown an interest in countering what they perceive as Western dominance or "woke" culture, according to some interpretations. In Africa, where there's a mix of Western, Chinese, and now increasing Russian influence, Musk might see an opportunity to expand his business footprint with Russian backing, especially in regions looking for alternatives to Western partnerships.

Musk's business interests could benefit from the stability that Russian military or paramilitary support might bring to certain African regions, especially where security concerns could otherwise hinder business operations. However, this is fraught with ethical and political implications, given the controversial nature of groups like the Wagner Group.

Engaging with Putin's Russia in Africa might place Musk in the middle of geopolitical tensions, potentially damaging his reputation if seen as supporting regimes criticized for human rights abuses or destabilization.

Musk's high-level security clearance and his companies' contracts with the U.S. government make any deep involvement with Russian interests in Africa potentially contentious from a national security perspective.

Trump want Tommy Robinson as leader of reform in government in parliament no doubt about it and quite likely outcome too

Or , musk wànts Elon bumming Tommy Robinson with Anne Robinson in the whitehouse and baldrick as king something like that not sure I give a fuck

The odds of Musk being mysteriously defenestrated or zipping himself inside a suitcase must be quite high now?

suicide by mob?

i would guess Putin will be happy to let him carry on.

the US side might like the idea of an early exit for him, not sure defenestration is one of the CIA MO though.

not sure defenestration is one of the CIA MO though.

"Friendly fire incident" on that side?

yacht might sink. private jet might crash. or could be a lone gunman incident. lots of options :)

Wouldn't death by electrocution in a Cybertruck be fitting?

I can see Elon as one of those raw milk bros. Suspiciously nasty bout of listeria perhaps?

Surely his demise is as a reaction to elective surgery?

Musk launches solar powered self closing suitcase on wheels

Musk has been going very heavy on Free Tommy Robinson so it seems pretty likely this is the cause. You can't be buying a political party and the leader disagree with you.

Those tweets about toupees on the previous page; I thought hair transplants used pube hair too, but maybe science has moved on.

Tommy dobbinson for deform leadership

Re. The WW1 trench knife, it's a German one right?

I’d imagine it’s just one of the memorabilia he has

Is he going to last until Trump is actually inaugurated?
