    This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses’ questionable-at-best ethics.

      This is just one of many reasons, for example

      The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

      It’s just pettiness and entitlement. He’s going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

      I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

        This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I’m gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it’s definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

          tesla has been investigated, as well… so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink… old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be

          so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

                that was his scam, he was afraid of CALIFORNIA developing thier high speed rail way system, so he came up with the hyperloop scam so he can force california to abandon it, furthermore they tried again when trump was in power the 1st time, Elaine chao(lich mcconnels wife, blocked all funding for it)

          SpaceX is still doing truly revolutionary work, and that usually gets you in regulatory trouble. Of everything Musk, I think this company is the greatest thing his paws have made.

          I will change opinion if his dream is actually becoming the dictator of the first Nazi Mars Colony, but I wish SpaceX much success in its endeavors for the time being.

            Pity SpaceX doesn’t believe it has to obey the law, and thinks it can just buy land and dump waste on it.

    Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.

      With Russian shit you wouldn’t hear of this, and the investigators wouldn’t be very willing to do anything in the first place.

      That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

      Like a canary that’s dying, that is.

    This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

      musk shagged(surrogate) the head of the neuralink division in texas a and M and made her produce a child for him. he and the university performed unsanctioned experiments on MONKEYs causing them to suffer, and musk’s response"they were going to die any ways".

      when you are in a university performing research on animals, theres regulations and protocols to follow, they probably dint do that. this makes the university look bad for doing this.

      because fox, right wing sources and russia will direct them to rage about culture wars instead, conservatives are not bright when it comes to thing like class warfare, luigi momentarily broke them out of thier “echo chambers”. i onced followed a asian yotbers who was known right wing, but wasnt in your face pre-pandemic, everyone was cringed that his information is very outdated and dint know what to talk about when regard to policies.
