Nothing like the man who has a mega factory for his vehicles in China being told about potential war plans with China. I imagine he's going give all that info to China the second they try to shut his factory down just to appease the commies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You know what scares me about all of this?
Musk is going to outlive Trump. He will still be around when Trump's term ends, or when he dies, whichever comes first. Even if Republicans remain in control after Trump is gone, they most likely aren't going to keep taking Musk along for the ride.
The man is the richest man in the world. There is absolutely nothing tying him to US soil. He could move anywhere in the world on a whim tomorrow. What will Musk do if a country like China or Saudi Arabia offered him residency, tax-free for life? Or just offered him like $100 billion to buy Twitter? $200 billion? That kind of money would barely qualify as a rounding error to countries like Saudi Arabia or China to pay for the information he has. Even if it's a couple of years out of date, it wouldn't matter. He could literally sell out this country any time he wants and there wouldn't be a damn thing we could do about it.
I strongly suspect they will both be in Russia if they can’t hold onto power in the US. I also suspect Musk is data mining government systems to give to the Putin government.
When Trump dies, Musk will run for president, and the Republicans will endorse him.
While it probably won't stop him, it should be noted that Musk is constitutionally ineligible to be President.
And Trump is constitutionally ineligible to be president currently as well as for a 3rd term. But it doesn’t seem to affect him at all.
We just need one FBI agent or something to be like "Yo these guys are a national security threat" and pop their heads open, and we'd all be a little safer.
The FBI/CIA doesn't stop right-wing plots, only supposed socialist or communist plots.
As an org that seems pretty historically apt. But it only takes one guy to have his own ideas
That's almost never how these things play out
And the bidding will start at $1 billion. Do I hear 1.1 Billion?
It isn't so secret anymore.
Double mistake
