In my book, both men have demeaned themselves greatly by this stupid stunt.

Musk slams German-funded migrants rescue Med operations
MSN
www.msn.com
The tech billionaire reposted criticism of the practice from another user, who had written that "subsidized" German rescue ships were "collecting illegal immigrants to be unloaded in Italy."
Musk queried: "Does the German public know about this?"

I like elon..part of the system, whole Tesla model based mostly on subsidies / tax and gov mandated schemes from the WEF brave new world
Yet he releases twitter memos of FBI undercover moves against Trump , covering Biden, and tell the facts.
Once upon a time facts were truths...lol
Playing both ways which is genius future proofing ..
For a context, the Italians elected a far right leader (far right is the 2023 label attached to anyone caring for his her country).s
Since then, the Soros and German/ EU funded NGOs have been transporting migrants hords from Africa to dump them in Italy at the rate of up to 8000 a day..
Teach you a lesson Italy ...
All part of the plan but hey I am a conspiratist..

now i may be incorrect , but i thought Elon Musk was born in South Africa ( but is now an US citizen ) and so cannot be elected as US President , however after several recent hotly contested elections ( after the results ) , would the US resort to another method of selecting their national leader

Money?
Tesla is now extremely deep-pocketed, with a market capitalization of $750 billion compared to $300 billion for mighty Toyota, $75 billion for Daimler-Benz, and $50 billion for Ford.

does Elon need money when he has a popular media megaphone , after all he has a BIG fan club ( of which i am NOT a member ) that gives him the opportunity accessing volunteers to do the hard yards ( destabilizing the current status quo )
after all market capitalization is a licence to tap the stock-market for money again and again ( unless those ETF managers move to exclude Tesla from their portfolio holdings )
all Musk needs is majority acceptance as their anointed leader ( personally i would like to see RFK jr given a chance , but the deep state can't that )

1/ Correct.An American Caesar

2/ Not without a revolution
This might be an unpopular opinion but I like the American system if looking at it purely in theory.
The problem at the moment is that the American system is full of subversive influences and corrupting what was the original intention. Vis a vis it relies on all involved to participate in good faith and that good faith has long since disappeared.

With ya there. It seems he's about to announce that he is running as an independent, perhaps even as a Libertarian... We will have to wait for the announcement in a few days.
I'm not sure I would vote for him if I was a U.S citizen, but if the Democrats were to win again I would 100% wish it were him.
For me at the moment, as much as I really do like other candidates for the future, it's Trump all the way in 2024.
Is Elon himself has stated “The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.” and I can't see anything more entertaining than a Trump second term
.... And if we leave aside the media hatchet jobs and personality issues, his policy is probably what is best for America at this point in time.

in theory .. i agree , however ulterior motives have hijacked the theory ( and not recently either )
just like the theories of communism and socialism , before they were politicized and used to form political movements outside the original intentions ( and therefore became power bases rather than self-protecting groups
but that is the trend with big governments in general
revolution or civil war ?
i have seen arguments for both and passions have been whipped up into a frenzy in some areas

well among the Democrat hopefuls, only Gabbard is an acceptable compromise to RFK jr in my books ( but i bet they try to side-track her as well )With ya there.

see if you can find his 'jump in the lake ' campaign ad , that should have been a clear warning to the Democrats
more interestingly , who would go as RFK's running mate , there are some interesting prospects ( can Musk become VP for example )

Indeed. And I am on record on this forum as being a fan of Tulsi. Yeah, not really my favorite politics but completely reasonable and totally acceptable to me as POTUS.
Unfortunately she is out of the picture for now as far as POTUS goes.

For decades now, NASA, in partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX, has successfully developed and launched a number of space missions to explore the Martian landscape. From the findings obtained by these space probes, we know that Mars is similar to our planet and holds the possibility of life. However, that's not all that there is to Mars, as there are some discoveries that NASA has not made public. NASA has chosen to keep them secret because they hint at alien existence.

Elon Musk has incurred the wrath of "the establishment" for his insistence on allowing freee speech on the X platform, even if domebody is offended by it.
First of all, a number of the establishment companies said they would pull their advertising from X for allowing smething they did not approve of.
A couple of other events have also shown how the establishment plans to punish Musk.
Firstly, the guvmint has changed the rules for tax credits so that the new Tesla model 3 will cease to qualify for said tax credits after Dec 31st.
And in another stange decision,
From Zero hdge
Elon Musk has voiced concerns that radicals within the Biden administration might attempt to 'weaponize' federal agencies against his businesses, citing his move to make X a 'free speech' social media platform. This concern was underscored in a decision by the US Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday to withhold approximately $900 million in rural broadband subsidies from SpaceX's satellite internet unit, Starlink.
The FCC "reaffirmed" its initial decision from last year to deny SpaceX the $886 million in federal funding because it could not demonstrate program requirements, such as high-speed internet, for users in 35 states:
"The FCC followed a careful legal, technical and policy review to determine that this applicant had failed to meet its burden," FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said.
In response to the decision, the tech blog PCMag quoted SpaceX as saying:
Like a few others, I can see a pattern developing here.

For SpaceX to receive funding from the FCC's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF), it must deliver average download speeds of over 100Mbps and upload speeds of 20Mbps to rural America by December 2025. One year ago, the FCC denied funding over Starlink's strained satellite capacity.
