What's his motivation / end game? Is he just a right wing fucknut? I think he'll overstep his boundaries pretty quickly and get chased from US Government tbh.
For a long time I thought it was all about getting his SpaceX agenda on the inside of Government, maybe it still is.

He's a dangerous **** that Musk, he wants cheap lithium badly so expect a regime change in Latin America if he and Trump remain in cahoots.
It's hard to see these two egotistical morons lasting thankfully as neither will want to share the limelight
It's like a James Bond plot playing out, but it doesn't feel like there's a James Bond to fix things.
I really don't know what to make of him, but there's more Machiavelli than Tesla about him, it seems.
Musk is a very unsettling individual.
When a man by 50 years old has gained unspeakable wealth, developed a legion of devoted fans, pioneered a couple of industries, fathered a dozen children, and nurtured the god complex that comes with all the above, the question is, what remains?
People in this position would have an unusual tendency, it seems, towards sexual deviancy and paedophilia. Others want their name against a war, to ensure their place in history. The better ones will sponsor institutions, civil engineering projects and medical advancement.
I get the impression that all of the above is not enough for Musk. He wants to be an unmistakable figure in history. And that in itself should be enough to warrant being walked quietly into the sea one evening.
He's a megalomaniac

In fairness if you'd Bezos money who wouldn't do that.
Pity him and the likes wouldn't copy Carnegie.
This sounds rich coming from a lad who will be pinching the pennies in January, BUT he is has no emotional intelligence.
He clearly is intelligent at what he knows, but the fact that he seems so void of humanity coupled with his vast riches is a massive worry.
And top it off he has an army of men who call him Elon who will attack anyone who criticise him.
Like if a normal person had that money would they be spewing shite on X.
Imagine the good you could do. Genuinely change the world.
But none of these lads are normal.

Warren Buffet's second wedding was not Hallo magazine.
Elon's dad f**ked his step daughter and had a kid with her. He had raised this girl since she was 4 and was married to her mother until the girl turned 22.
That's the kinda thinking you're dealing with.
Jesus this has escalated quickly!

Plenty of his wealth spent on his face,hair transplant and still looks like and is a total weirdo.

Space Hitler is a real life Bond villain.
He is falling out with MAGA big style now.
Trump took his coin and will be rid soon.
Then he wrote an op Ed supporting AfD.
Trump is stupid but surely not that stupid to part ways with Musk. Musk got what he wanted out of playing his part in the re-election of Trump.
QuoteHundreds of millions Musk pumped into the Trump campaign and The latest campaign finance report shows the billionaire donated $120m in the final weeks of the race alone and that money was said to have been heavily spent on canvassing, text messages, and digital advertising.
According to estimates from Forbes magazine it's believed Musk has added more than $54 billion to his net worth since the November 5 election,
The wealth injection came largely from a surge in the stock price of his companies Tesla and SpaceX after the re-election of Donald Trump.
Americans are stupid and selfish so this isn't a surprise if they both part ways getting what they want

Don't want to go all Skull/ deep state on the whole thing, but the Americans know how to engineer an accident a la Putin. Not saying something like that is imminent but I wouldn't be surprised to be quoting this interaction in a few years time!

There was a website tracking his private jet a while back and he had to get an injunction (or tried to) to stop it. I'd say his security is better now.

What are you saying? Putin to take out Musk (or made to look like he did)?
Eh, no. State sponsored killings are fairly commonplace. The US don't need any assistance in that department.
How a South African End up on Trump govt anyway.

As long as it's not being quoted in a court with you as a defendant as part of some conspiracy you'll be grand.
He is fairly spreading his wings now. Dipping into UK, Germany, etc.
All these extreme lads fall out eventually. The traditional MAGA will end up having him and all the Crypto/ Tech Bro crew.
But he will do a lot of damage first. It's shame on modern journalism in that a lot of media types fall back on X and something said there becomes news.
He knows that whenever he says or reposts something outrageous all the regular media run with it.
I see Musk has now turned on Farage
This is over Tommy Robinson seemingly.
Farage likes to dip his toes into far right but Reform are after respectable people (closet racists in big houses) so don't want him.
This row is how it'll end up in MAGA too. Just he went turbo charged here. It's brilliant to watch.
Mind you it's pretty scary if Musk believes that Farrage is not right wing enough for him
Unless he has a robot that can govern he should probably stay out of politics.
He's looking hardcore far right. This is actually good as it could be the end of that party plus farage. Racists in white collars are more palatable than the likes of Robinson.
Elton is jumping the shark by promoting a scummer like Tommy Robinson.

He's just shown his ignorance of UK politics, but you do love to see the gammons fawning over him when he's going after the Labour Government but once he has a pop at Farage he's no right to be interfering in UK politics.
He's a dangerous cúnt that Musk, but his ego will clash with Trumps and that'll end up a tidy wee mess.

Farage dabbled with Musk and got batted away. Musk is dabbling with Trump and will suffer the same fate.
Neither will evoke much sympathy.
Zuck the Cuck is ready and willing to Suck and f**k. They're all ready to bend over for Trump second time around.
Meanwhile, Dana White has been appointed to the Meta board for some reason.

Both of those clubs have a cleaner slate than Liverpool.
I wonder Liverpool's behaviour around the Suarez-Evra incident and their past resistance towards signing a black player have appealed to the racist, right-wing, South-African.
Nothing to see here ;D
