Not the only backlash...

He's a officially a Reform supporter now to which is another string added to his rancid bow

Don’t ask Elon where he sells the second most Tesla, because selling $20b worth of assists to china would certainly give them some leverage, wouldn’t it now.

I've not seen it described that way before but it's got potential

I read an article about Bluesky the other day.

There are ownership business links to the far right, Russia, Steve Bannon and a number of unsavoury types...

Not really sure what the goal is here lol

Just to put this in perspective, there was never any article about Bluesky's ties to Russia, and thus @Zatara never "read/skimmed" an article that claimed BlueSky had ties to Russia. Instead he fell for serious disinformation and reposted it twice (once in the CA and once in the Ale House) and to make it even more funny, the supposed "tie" to Russia was a fictitious webpage featuring Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan.

And since Zat posted in two forums, so am I.

Hadn't heard of Vindman before that tweet and then read his wikipedia bio...seems like an impressive fella.

It’s weird. If I was pulled up on posting or broadcasting nonsense facts like this I’d feel pretty embarrassed and would probably check my posts more. A lot of the right seem to double down or just ignore completely then accuse people of living in an echo chamber.

A quick thought re the comparisons of Musk to certain fictional characters - he is certainly more Lex Luther than Tony Stark. But obviously nowhere near as intelligent as the Luther character, just the negative personality traits that are consistently playing out.

It's not like zat to get film confused with real life.

Starting to think these social media billionaires, positioning themselves in governments in one country, while backing political parties in other nations, might not actually have our best interests in mind.
