What do you mean?

He's had multiple government agencies targeting him as well as prominent Tv hosts calling for the Us DoD to cut off contracts with his companies. 
 

What’s funny is this dumbass doesn't realize he’s really one of the biggest national security assets we have. These are not serious people. Just vindictive people who want their enemies crushed even if it keeps America from fluorishing. 

The possible russian asset poster, who keeps making new names every time he gets crowdsourced so he can keep promoting Russian interests, promoting an illegal alien with direct ties to Putin as our biggest national security asset doesn’t raise any suspicions whatsoever.

I'm old enough to remember when his private company rescued two of our stranded astronauts from the space station.

Our expansion into space is almost solely dependent on his company.

Two year old tweet doesn’t mean crap.

Pretty sure the Pentagon started picking up the tab in late 2022 or '23, so once again, Elon thrives off the gubmint tit.

Which would be fine so long as he didn't rail against others who profit from federal subsidies or get credited with some sort of altruistic donation.

This.  Let's write the truthful headline:

"One of world's leading beneficiaries of a government's subsidies is going to be put in charge of reducing that government's spending."

It's literally one of the most insane sentences ever written, yet it is the actual plan for Elon Musk.  And there are tens of millions of people who think that's awesome.

I’ll bet a $1 that trump and Leon have a falling out before anything ever happens.

I’d like to know how Leon believes that Trump ditching the EV credit is going to help Tesla sales.

Isn’t Trump also scared of autonomous vehicles?

The thing is that Peter Thiel has more influence with trump than Leon could ever hope. Thiel doesn’t like Musk. He won’t let Musk get enough influence.

Leon’s thirst for attention will put him at odds with trump, who is more thirsty. On top of that Leon basically thinks he can play trump to run things, which will piss off trump more.

You combine those things, you have a recipe for Leon losing favor with the Donald pretty quick.

Elon was a useful idiot for Trump.

I've lost almost 500 followers on X since the election. On the other hand, I've gained about 140 on Threads and 45-50 on Blue Sky, so it's not a total loss.

Our social media will become even more bifurcated, I'm thinking.

Threads is gaining a huge number of new followers every day. Zuckerburg indicated roughly one million per day in his conference call. Now up to 275 million.  I wish it would gain some of X's functionality.
