I don’t understand what’s wrong with a man who loves his country dedicating himself to making it more transparent, accountable and efficient in carrying out the agenda of the chief executive.

I am a trump supporter but I don’t really like Elon that much. He is just too weird for me. lol just a super bizarre human being. But I do admire his patriotism, given the fact that he wasn’t even born here. As far as this clip goes, I guess if Kamala had won and she had someone like this, doing these things, I would be outraged? I don’t know enough about this stuff to have a real opinion on it but if Elon musk can do stuff like this to find bad things going on, within the government, then I am all for it.
@AlbertoVeroneseBorcato

And he wasn’t even born in the US. He is a South African who is a naturalized Canadian and American.

February 4, 2025 at 8:32 pm
It’s absurd how this is legal. If it were in absolutely any other country, the US would be the first to point the finger and call it corruption. Hypocrites!

February 5, 2025 at 5:01 am
For fascism and the ultra-wealthy to take over you need the poorly educated and misinformed on your side. This is why Trump said he loves the poorly educated because they’re his and Musk’s biggest supporters. Without the poorly educated and misinformed, people like Musk and Trump couldn’t take over and destroy the government

He wants to go to Mars, so let’s send him there. He can fly in his own rocket and maybe on the way pick up the Tesla he sent into space a couple of years ago. Elon gets to Mars, there will be less space junk, the US self-destruction button gets at least a short relief, and even the war on drugs can report a significant drop in ketamine abuse on earth. Really a win-win scenario.
