    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.
