Confirming there are no good billionaires out there. As he can just be bought with cash and popularity.

Dumb blonde is an understatement.

Girly asked if anyone knows COBOL. I do remember a bit of it. Does that make me smarter than Elon and those “geniuses”?

[Drak]

I mean, we’ve all seen who Trump is, up and close over the last decade. It’s amazing there are people still buying into his utter bullsht. lol @ belief system.

A fun one is to say "given the engineer Musk claims to be, and the incredible innovation he's responsible for, Elon must have a load of ingenious patents to his name. Probably even more then Steve Jobs, considering he has such a broad base of knowledge across industries."

He's got, like, 25. Most refer to the same thing, are from the 90's, and a few are design patents(shape of a door or plug). Steve Jobs has 1114. And if they come back and say patents stifle innovation and he is against them, get them to justify why his companies have so many. The reality is that's a lame excuse to hide his mediocrity, while the actual smart people in his companies do the real work.

Musk is that ####in' annoying tit who hangs over shoulders asking how things work and then telling people to do it better and work harder and faster. We all know that guy.

Oh cool. Thanks for that.

Trump outright blaming Ukraine for the war… good god this man, how the hell did he get another kick at the friggen can. Embarrassing.

[direwolf]

I caught a few seconds of that presser, but had to turn it off because just listening to him makes me sick. The bit that I caught was him insinuating that all the death and destruction is on Ukraine for not making a deal earlier. Dude is such a despicable piece of s***.

Some people apparently wanted to try it out and see how it goes. You just like trying a diet coke, what could go wrong youc an always just go back to regular coke.

[chummer]

And he wants half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals. Speaking of listening to him makes you sick, tonight's interview with him and Musk, hosted by Sean Hannity is can't miss TV..........NOT.

Keep in mind that in his personal business world, he would routinely not pay contractors and suppliers, or make them settle for less simply because he knew that he could financially end them if they tried to sue him. This supposed hero of the working class.

He has always been a bully and only respects bullies. Might makes right in his head. The art of the deal is punishing those who are weaker if they don't capitulate.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I bet he doesn't even pay KFC for his buckets of chicken.

It’ll be us next being blamed for being taken over. “Canada started this by being so unfair” “our only choice was to annex”.

[GirlySports]

But hey he expanded IVF, he gets that vote over people who care about Ukraine.

It's absolutely sociopathic what they're doing in Munich. Shaking down Ukraine, and rewarding Russia. They won't even provide security guarantees for European peacekeepers should they be stationed in Ukraine and get attacked.

Of course, it just boils down to Trump et al getting some great deals on Russian goods, enriching themselves like the parasites they are. Everything's an opportunity, especially other people's misery.

Ukraine has some pretty valid reasons to send some Luigis to the US in my view.

Trump's going to want a 50 percent "cut" of Canadian natural resources... for "protection."

[Rhett44]

This is all part of Trump's plan. Blame Ukraine for starting the war. Demand that they give up a bunch of their land, and their resources which will never happen with the current terms. Demand Europe remove sanctions on Russia, which they won't.

Then he can claim he tried to make peace and Ukraine/Europe refused it. He will pull all troops from the area, or worse he will send troops to help Russia.

We are closing in on another world war, all thanks to the morons south of our border.

This sums Musk up well I thought...

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest #### I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

I doubt he U.S. would get involved, at least on the side of Russia, but I can definitely see European war breaking out, which could become a world war. It almost seems by design.

Russia is saying that they won't accept NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine, but the U.S. is saying that Europe needs to step up to provide security guarantees outside of NATO. No NATO peacekeepers is just inviting Russia to attack again, in which case, Europe would have to retaliate.

It feels like watching a car crash in slow motion.
