Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, owner of Tesla, SpaceX and the social media platform X, is leveraging his staggering fortune—approaching half a trillion dollars—to finance and promote fascist forces throughout the world.

      I wonder how much it irks him that @elonjet is still operational and there’s nothing he can do about it because he can’t buy Mastodon.

      It’s not like anyone was held accountable. Why wouldn’t they bide their time and try again later?

    The difference between AfD and all the other parties mentioned (Italy was before Musk’s direct opinion/funding on everything) is that it is anti-NATO and therefore anti-US. Meloni faked anti EU/NATO sentiments before she was bought, and the same fascist US empire slaves as usual were picked by the CIA for her to represent Italy in EU and NATO, and she supports war on Russia.

    The Irony is that it it center and left parties that overwhemingly support Ukraine nazis, slavery to US, and war on Russia. Musk shares Trump’s internal hatred of blacks, and anti-Muslim sentiment is simply purchased to reinforce anti-black core values. It is also ironic that Ukrainian deserters that fled to Germany, have significantly expanded nazi presence in Germany, and would help the only party that would deny nazi victory in Ukraine. NATO panic on limiting NATO resistant democracy is in full effect, Romania as example, but AfD, like Meloni or LePen party, has an easy path to victory by accepting CIA/NATO allegiance in exchange for power.

    The danger of far right is not US resistance, but outrageous treason in favour of US, while complaining about the wrong foreigners. Hate is not a basis for progressiveness, but neither is any other EU permitted politician.

      Yikes.

      If only there was a way to end this “”“wAr On RuSsiA”“” quickly, huh? Something like, idk, the raping hordes going back to their shithole putin-led country?

        I’m sure you’ve tried making this wish before, and it was ineffective. Therefore, you should support the partys that will sacrifice pensions, healthcare, and social security to get to 3% of GDP military spending like a good slave to Trump.

        Europe is completely doomed when it sides with Ukrainian nazis to enslave themselves to US. The most problematic aspect of your wish, is that every lie you justify your wish for Russia’s diminishment, is a lie Russia and Russians know to be a lie, and objectively demonism.

            The core brainworm for EU has become the Polish brainworm, and LBJ’s “they will gladly empty their pockets so long as there is hope that Russia’s pocket will be diminished more”. Your identity is suicide and slavery, because “Stalin was bad”. The US is grateful for your submission and sacrifice, but not so grateful as to reward you.

    I think his ambitions are bigger than anyone realizes right now. Buying the USA is not big enough. The titles don’t matter. Subverting fascists is easier. I think he’s looking to make a really big mark on history, like the half dozen names everyone knows. I honestly think he is going for an m-type astroid. The Isaacman move hints at that one specifically, along with a real reason for Starship when a Falcon Heavy is so capable and ahead of anyone else. The industrial capability of Tesla, batteries, small scale boring machinery, AI robotics, solar, those are all of the elements one needs to access and recover an m-type astroid. Gravitational differentiation of heavy elements is the primary cause of resource scarcity on a planetary surface. Any differentiated body has vast elemental wealth in its core. M-type asteroids are from differentiated planetesimal cores. One such object can have more wealth than the entire world combined. Accessing that wealth would buy the world. Flag planting and bases on the moon are silly nonsense, accessing an m-type closes a chapter and starts a new human epic. I’m not a fan of the guy. This is potentially civ ending level instability. It is probably speculative nonsense, but objectively disconnected logic with skepticism… the dots are lining up in an unusual way… Japan has already done a lot of the prospecting and required missions. The Dart mission showed how two body interactions will alter near earth objects as much as they did anything for proving planetary defense…

        Some people just don’t handle abstraction very well. You should probably see someone yourself. I’ve had extensive assessments from the near death injuries that physically disabled me, far more than anything the average person ever goes through. I’m well above average in every respect. I never make toxic nonsense insulting responses to people either. I do however block anyone that creates them.

          Do I get blocked if I simply suggest formatting upgrades, out of consideration for anyone who’s reading your posts?

      That would certainly be an ambitious goal. But would this even be achievable in his lifetime? It seems to me that even if all the other requirementd were fulfilled, the power required to push such an asteroid back to earth would be currently beyond us.
