I have a self made, self admittedly a conspiracy theory that since most of Elons money came from stock trading that he used Russian bots to inflate his social media presence for his pump and dump scheems and then bought twitter to have control of the website and evidence it may hide.
That's a really good theory. #FBI
Once the guy who broke the news about how trump and putin communicated initially informed us about elon and putin I just started thinking about what they have to offer each other.
I hope they're reviewing his security clearances right now.
Except once Trump wins, he can override that review and order the clearance, just like he did with Jared
And trump wants him to be in charge of dismantling the federal government....
Putin. Putin wants him to do that. Trump is just the puppet
Exactly. Trump doesn't have any policy goals, he couldn't care about any of that.
Trump's only wants are his base emotional needs: eat a hamburder, grope an unwilling child, be complimented, see others suffer. Anything more sophisticated than that is being done for someone who's giving him burders, babes or bribes.
I sure would like to see a FARA investigation into him now.
Two years ... so, around the time Russia invaded Ukraine, and Musk was having problems funding his Twitter purchase around the same time? Any takers on Musk laundering Russian money?
Someone look at Bezos.
Who could have seen this coming??
Epstein Musk
I wonder how safe Musk feels standing next to a hotel room window.
point 1 - stop being brainwashed into Russia/Putin being your enemy. Your survival depends on it, as patience on nuclear strikes on the US is only due to certainty of eventual victory for Russia in Ukraine. Ukraine proxy war on Russia is just yet another ploy to boost military and oil profits. US always loses wars, because winning means an early end to war. Pathethic loser public that supports wars, especially on Russia, is pathetic losers not realizing the expense and decline/collapse it causes the US.
- Why would media know this when US government doesn't? Biden's political decision to not put Trump in military jail, or charge Musk if actual evidence of wrongdoing is zionist first rulership if true. Musk did report not wanting to turn on Starlink over Russian Crimea because it could cause nuclear strikes on US, and US policy is to not permit starlink over Russia. If Putin advised him to ignore Ukrainian request in conformance to US policy, then this is a non issue.
Btw, Musk is only US oligarch to donate anything free to Ukraine. He gave them free starlink before getting pentagon paid oversight.
Even if he is a Trump financing/endorsing POS, this is still a smear campaign, which on the outside chance of being true, is a Biden government endorsement to not prosecute for zionist maximalist election outcome.
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate the opportunity to add you to my Block list.
