O/T Is Elon Musk more powerful than Trump?

[CAMiller]

He's an incredibly bright, autistic, tax avoiding, ethically challenged, seemingly charismatic, South African who likes to play the online and offline troll. A living embodiment of the dangerous knife edge we've allowed by enabling incomprehensible wealth accumulation and the abandonment of responsibility around free speech. Someone who could be a massively positive force for good, but who seems more content being disruptive, notorious, and unpredictable.

Steve Evans' alter ego?

Remove 'incredibly bright', South African and (possibly) autistic... yeah, not far off!

Yes, that occurred to me after I'd posted, but I'm not sure Trump and those close to him care much for rules.

The thing about laws and even constitutions is that they can be changed, particularly when you have a congress that is cowed by the MAGA mob, a pet Supreme Court bench and a supine population.

There's a rumour that the The Donald is going to try for a 3rd term. The argument goes that the constitution only prohibits more than two consecutive terns.

You are unbelievable 😂

You accuse an American president of picking a team and then you say that they may not care for the rules.

Which rules have they broken?

You continuously call them the MAGA mob. What do you mean by that? Is it because they are doing things that you do not like?
They were elected by the majority of the US citizens that wanted change!
They are highlighting corruption and you don?t seem to appreciate honesty.

You end your post with a conspiracy theory 😂 The type of thing that you are quicker than anyone to jump on to prove wrong!

Where is your proof of Donald Trump wanting a third term 😂

Inherited daddy's emerald mine fortune. Much in common with the simpleton Trump. Neither would last five minutes making their own money.

Would that be his Daddy who is still alive and reportedly gave Elon just 28K to start his software business (although Elon denies he ever gave him anything)?

The only 'fact' in that is that Errol is still alive.

Go ahead then Steve, present the facts to back up your statement!

I can spot a c*** a mile off, and both fit the criteria, but come on... Musk knows the American system and how to exploit it as well as anyone. Take away his father's support and he'd have found a way to raise the cash for his ventures. The only unknown is whether they'd have succeeded if the 'Daddy safety net' wasn't there to provide endless chances, and that impacted their belligerent mindset. Both are the 'right' balance of shameless, charismatic, ruthless, and driven to make it in a country like the US, and Musk has the added Rain Man high-functioning brain feature.

Well that's Zelensky told in no uncertain terms from the Donald and Vance .

Interesting times .
