Elon Musk’s financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it’s manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

Said no one ever, until you just did it right there.

As they say in Danish “talk about shooting sparrows with cannon-balls”.

Remember folks, the rich only care about one thing and one thing only, getting richer. A bunch of these shit heads got together and started actively planning on overthrowing the US government because the election of FDR was going to affect their interests.

I’d argue Musk cared more about being able to bloviate on Twitter than he did about getting richer from that transaction.

Of course there’s the very real possibility that he was foolish enough to believe he could make money on the deal.

Kind of the same thing thats happening right now, only instead of plotting they are spreading conspiracy theories and rage bating people into supporting them.

The irony of this is FDR wasn’t exactly lacking in wealth or at least access to it at any point in his life.

Truly, the pinnacle of modern journalism: YouTube.

…sometimes, absolutely!

Youtube is a video hosting platform, just saying a piece of news is hosted on youtube says exactly nothing about it’s credibility.

Youtube did not create this video, if you want to say anything useful about its validity you’ll have to be a bit more specific about the actual video itself or it’s creators.

But I guess cheap pot shots make for easier upvotes.

Yes, MSNBC’s YouTube channel posting clips from their TV programs is definitely not a valid news source 🙄

It’s wild how quickly some of y’all love to (smugly) dismiss things at a glance.

Then maybe link the article itself? It’s not that hard, guys.

Like you can’t even argue that this is at least a perspective from a foreign state. It’s literally the thoughts of one guy.

“One guy” is a strange way to describe Ronan Farrow, who just did a huge New Yorker article on Elon Musk.

The past half century has been moving production out of the west and into China but it’s somehow just bad when it’s Musk?

Come on, this circle jerk is getting more retarded by the day.
