Elon is really going off the deep end

 

I really do wonder if he's going to inspire some deeper look into his potentially fraudulent naturalization

[PenelopeWitherspoon 18269]

I just contacted my member of Congress to have all of Elon’s government contracts looked at.

Seems like, given that Elon came here illegally, his citizenship could be revoked, especially since he was CONTACTING VLADIMIR PUTIN, which is against the law. 
 

Fuck Elmo.

Or his clearance revoked if he lied on the application. And why did you get a neg on that post? For doing what a citizen with an issue with something is supposed to do?

Agreed.  No idea. Presume that @Snake Diggity is an Elmo stan.

I also plan on sending communication to my Senators as well.

Someone with more experience in that world please clarify but my understanding is that's a disqualifying event and should bring up some kind of investigation.

That's my understanding from like two seconds of talking to friends who have differing levels of clearence and have gone though that process.

That's without touching on the contact with foreign nationals assuming he didn't report them - no matter who the person is.

Again my friends are in a different area than this one BUT they both seem to believe that those two issues are MAJOR deals.

They are. And I don't think his knowledge of information is staffing rosters on classified programs, which are classified in themselves. I bet he might have heard other, maybe more important things as well.

Yes but I see this more as Biden demonstrating how even illegal aliens can ultimately offer important contributions to America. And that bar isn't whether they eventually become the world's wealthiest person.

Musk is not exactly "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore". Those would be the people he was rallying about rounding up yesterday. I just couldn't imagine elmo being used as a positive example

Earnings call was "good". I put that in quotes partly becuase a lot of his numbers are "fudged". Yes, their real numbers were up. But the biggest boost to their numbers was actually selling carbon credits, which really boosted the numbers big time.

In the end, it was a good quarter. Will it continue? Who knows. but they did ok.

Finance and business valuation and whatever the fuck else is not my wheelhouse, so perhaps this is patently foolish for multiple reasons, and I readily acknowledge the unlikelihood of a scam to this scale, etc.

But at some point, is there a possibility that the only explanation for a stock price bound by neither reality nor gravity is that there's money laundering (and/or some other illicit source of money at a significant scale) somewhere in the equation?

IPOs are not happening but companies who aren’t doing anything to add additional value or change their products or big announcements or news are moving billions in market cap. Nvidia the other day was enough to IPO 200 unicorns. That’s a lot of innovation that isn’t happening and being distorted by some of these crazy mega caps.

Once we deport every body and massively reduce public spending in an unspecified way the economy will collapse, but don't worry! Just stay the course and everything will work out.

Yeah, ok. I have heard that before.

Besides look how people freaked out over a little inflation, you think we would stay the course if we adopted policies that led to short term economic collapse?

He probably has a conditional security clearance. A few years ago he caused SpaceX employees and himself to be subjected to random drug tests after smoking pot on Rogan's podcast. The average clearance holder would have had their clearance revoked but adjustments were made by the government for Musk, likely under a conditional clearance.

He controls SpaceX so he will probably never face consequences regarding his clearance. The government will probably just make a new redline for him not to cross until he crosses it and then they will redraw the line.

It's bullshit. I know a few people that have run into issues with their clearance because of the dumbest shit like hospital bills.

Exactly. However these people are sociopaths.

It would be different if I happened to know a lot of people who were aching to do roofing jobs in Texas in August, or were looking to spend their days walking farm fields, but even with my East Texas relatives, I don’t. I can’t imagine how much prices would rise, and I really can’t imagine what would happen to the Texas economy.  Well, I can imagine that a lot of businesses would go under, and there’s a chance that many would not come back.
