How could they let a New York mob boss? Answer that one first.

@SeanPat1001 It does not have to endorse them. It could have spoken out against Trump's evil speeches before the election.

I think he's broken most of Deuteronomy and Leviticus as well.

He isn't a foreign agent. South Africa doesn't want him and you don't think Putin would leave traces of his channels, do you?

Edison's DC supply system failed against the superior Westinghouse AC one. Who's Westinghouse in this? I suspect a Chinese car maker.

His problem is that his cars are falling behind the Chinese, with the new Honda-Nissan merger Tesla is a relatively small maker. And while his rockets to the ISS work just fine, the ISS itself has a very limited life left and Musk's Moon project is failing. He must know his businesses are on the verge of failure even as Wall Street pretends they are not. He needs a new income stream.

You sold it. You don't get to demand it back. You have to hope the people who were not sheep, take action. And if they do, you won't deserve it if they succeed.

@danmeyer114 And much, much better mannered.

If this had been a new Soviet leader behaving like this, Voice of America would be all over it picking it apart and saying how crazy he was.

@joannemcvey6874 But not all religions are misogynistic, just the Abrahamic ones. Kali and Parvati are high up in the Hindu pantheon.

Just like Wikipedia, in fact, which is probably where he gets most of his ideas.

@MeshugaMatch-z6z Who believes Mossad?

With all their faults, the RF do promote small to medium sized British companies. Trump?

@brianforrester7707 Yes, true. But the argument has been that the RF do more for exports than they actually cost.

It's the Homeland Security Group, not the British anything - we are officially the UK. Thanks to Musk, MI5, GCHQ and other UK government agencies are having to put more effort into online attacks on our country by South African agitators and their followers.

@michaellayton7373 What a pity that "Telsa"(!) "invented" it a year after Stanley demonstrated a working system funded by Westinghouse, ten years after Yablochkov designed a system in Europe and five years after systems were being installed in Hungary. In fact Ferranti probably beat Stanley to it in the UK, by several years. AC had been discovered by 1830 and its technical merits identified years before Tesla. Oh dear this myth by Tesla fanboys never seems to go away. Like Musk, Tesla was a showman but no genius.

Episcopalians are just as much a Catholic Church as are the Orthodox churches. They follow the Nicene Creed which is pretty much the test, and they agree with Augustine, the founder of the Catholic Church, that the Bible is not all literally true. They are simply a branch of the Catholic Church that does not recognise the authority of the Popes. Since a lot of American Catholics don't, that hardly disqualifies them. American Protestants do not agree with Augustine and their religion is based on Saul of Tarsus, not the Gospel of Mark.

Not all white South Africans. I knew one who flew for the Allies in WW2 and subsequently became a covert member of the ANC. He had a word for people like Musk. Not a polite one.

Great mistake to end someone like Macron to talk to Trump, being French he doesn't know the short words needed.

@L98fiero У меня нет глупого друга к югу от Москвы, дурак.

@SarafinaSummers I'm afraid you missed the irony. I thought it was obvious it was a joke but clearly not.

@L98fiero During WW2 there was a British branch called SOE which carried out all kinds of operations in Europe - disinformation, turning spies, helping the Resistance, co-ordinating a Mosquito attack on a Gestapo HQ to destroy their records. During WW2, US intelligence was relatively gentlemanly, but the success of SOE led to the creation of the CIA on the same lines, and also the Mossad. The problem with such forces is that they are so used to lying to everybody else, one starts to wonder how much truth they tell their own government. Especially people like Musk and Trump who will never get "real" security clearance, far too flaky. Your idea that I have a friend in Georgia seems very odd and I don't understand it at all, perhaps since I have replied to you sensibly you could explain your meaning?

Auden on Hitler: "the whole offence that has driven a culture mad....what huge imago made a psychopathic god." The USA's right wing billionaires and its media made Trump. Like Germany, before the nightmare can end, they will need to be defeated because they won't go willingly.

White Apartheid South African, what do you expect? My mother was PA to the MD of a company that had a factory in South Africa. On his wall he had two framed letters. One was from a black South African applying for a job. The other one was from the employment ministry telling him that this man could not be given the job because black people are not intelligent enough. Guess which one was in perfect English and which one was barely literate?
1
Catholics versus Protestants coming to a country very near you. Luther, the founder of Protestantism, supported the billionaire equivalents of his day against the general population. That's why Auden identified Protestantism as the ultimate cause of the rise of Hitler. Well, you've just seen the Protestants give you what is potentially Hitler 2. Because they are still anti-women and anti-non white people, and they still distort the Gospels to money worship.

So the Murdoch crime syndicate has turned against the Trump and Musk crime syndicates, but Muskrump controls the FBI. Interesting times.

@dand3975 The Latin Mass cult and Opus Dei exist in England too: look up Jacob Rees-Mogg.

You need a law like our UK one, that has just sent someone who abused and threatened a woman politician to prison. If Musk lived in this country, he would have been arrested on the same charge. Free speech should not mean the right to threaten and abuse. It means the right to call out government corruption and dishonesty. Or it did till the dvertising industry got to it.

Why do you think Musk wants Harris assassinated? Like Trump he's a mafiosi at heart and he wants his followers to remove a threat to his business. Meanwhile in this country (UK), the New Hampshire Libertarian Party would be explaining itself to the police - we have laws against making terrorist threats against individuals. After all, what they did is not different from the Ayatollah Khomeini issuing the fatwa agains Salman Rushdie, and we agree that was evil. Don't we?
