Has Elon become US’s first true Oligarch?

I don’t know but I don’t like it regardless. No one with such outsized business power should be allowed to get close to political power centers, not even with a 10 foot pole.

Hope you were saying that too about George Soros and his son, and Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos and others.

Never heard of the Fords? Rockefellers? Kennedys? Hearsts?

I didn’t like their relationship with the dems either but I don’t think George Soros was given the phone when Biden was on the phone with say Zelensky or Putin. Neither were they as rich or economically and socially influential (especially after X) as Elon.

Elon just wanted to directly ask how Starlink’s quality is in Ukraine. Doing basic QC.

Anyone confirm that? He could’ve called separately for that honestly.

Yeah or sent him an email.

What’s the message? It might be reassuring actually. If it was really positive.

“Putin’s terms are better than Blackrock’s. Both are going to bend your country over, but…”

Better the devil (Putin) that Ukraine knows than the devil (Blackrock) that it doesn’t.

As expected, JD Vance says the US could drop support for NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms.

No, their tongue was firmly planted within the Clintons and their hangers on.

Getting rid of the swamp, by creating a new one, bigger and swampier.

It’s not unexpected or without precedence. It’s just the reality. I would just hope that Trump supporters were not so delusional and believe that this will make their lives better.

I’m sure they’ll get right to this politico article when they stop smiling.

Some cornfucking plebe/chav stole my wallet this week when I left it on my property’s hedge.

Not even that could kill my election buzz.

How did you leave your wallet on a hedge?
