"The recent wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice set off quite the furor over tax avoidance. An enormous banner in the Piazza San Marco put the matter plainly: “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.” That banner prompted a commentary from Phoebe Liu at Forbes on More

I haven't seen anything about Russiagate recently from Musk, but he has made many post about it in the past.
Musk still loves Obama, and that is an enormous weakness in his world view. He just can't admit he was wrong about the Renegade.

Elon Musk still has one foot firmly planted in the bullshit liberal world view that he has held his whole life, and he has too much ego to completely abandon it.
To his credit, he supported Trump during the election when it mattered the most, and I will always respect that.

Truth Social was the top social media app in America for three straight months right before Musk bought X. Even liberals, like Gavin Newsom, were making accounts on Truth.
Elon Musk stepped in at the exact moment to save Twitter and prevent Trump from owning the most popular social media company in America. A strong case can be made that's not a coincidence.

That is true now because of Elon Musk. Twitter was losing a lot of billions per year because they kicked out 70K conservative accounts after Jan 6, and liberals are boring.

in reply to Robert R. • • •elon said he went too far in retribution against trump for the one big butthole bill thing (like posting that trump is on the epstein list and other stuff), and it does have some good things in it though, and also he doesn't want to have a sour relationship with trump for the rest of eternity.. also $1 million isn't that much for elon..
twitter is called X now by the way, not sure if you've heard.. he bought it because it was the platform he used and the censorship was getting ridiculous and then when they banned the babylon bee account for saying rachel lavine was man of the year that kind of solidified in his mind that some thing needs to change.. it wasn't because he was jealous of trump's cute little new platform that he wasn't even using..
truth social is a limited hangout that will go down in popularity once trump isn't president any more.. any thing elon touches turns to gold.. he knows how to be #1 in what ever space he is competing in...... cars.... rockets..... satellite internet..... AI..... he is #1 in every thing... X platform isn't any different..... it is #1 most popular social media in the world and will remain that way.. thinking truth social has any chance against it is pure larp..
trump gave people a lot of hope when he won again but he is starting to fall out of phase with his supporters now and he needs to take a step back and analyze why that is happening..

in reply to FF777 • • •Both have faults. I like both. So far Trump is exceeding my expectations. I think they will continue to have a mutually beneficial relationship. Trump is on fire! MAGA is very hard to please because it is made up of many different political philosophies. I'm just trying to enjoy the next 3 and 1/2 years. 👍Dems have it easy with the hive mind base.

Elon Musk is one of my readers on X. He has shared 5 of my posts and commented on around 15 others. He thinks my memes are fire.
