    Only good thing is once you start messing with American veterans, you’re on very dicey ground.

    Nate Vance, cousin of JD Vance, has been fighting for Ukraine for 3 years.
    His calls to his cousin to explain the truth about what is happening have not been returned.

    There was an interview with him on Radio 4 tonight. Seemed to understand Ukraine but in favour of DOGE efficiencies as he felt American administration needed pruning. He gave the example of military spending.

    Now Musk is blaming Ukraine for X going down today. Yeah, Elon, that makes sense…

    I would imagine that if Ukraine could do cyberattacks on that scale, Telegram would have been down for the last 3 years…

    Not an unreasonable position. The idea of DOGE itself is fine. It’s the prick running it…

    This is why the prick is dangerous. He knows what he’s doing saying that the attack originated in Ukraine.

    The attack has already been claimed by a pro-Palestinian group but Musk will never voice that.

    We learned today from Michael Gove at the Covid inquiry that he is not a fan of Good Law Project.

    please log in to view this image

    We believe that he is spineless – happy to lie about us only in a public inquiry where he can’t be sued for defamation.



    Unlike Gove, we’re happy to be held to account for our journalism. So let me remind you of some of his misdeeds we have been able to uncover.



    We know he greased the wheels for a company called Unispace to land £679m of PPE contracts after an email was sent to, we believe, his personal email address following private phone calls [1]. Some of those contracts were at four or five hundred percent of the average price paid for PPE. And even the Department of Health says that Unispace has only “partly met its contractual obligations”.



    And we know he misled the House of Commons about how the VIP lane operated [2].



    And we know his department operated the VIP lane illegally – because the High Court said so after our challenge [3].



    And we know – despite his frantic attempts to distance himself [4] – that Michelle Mone wrote to him on his personal email address only weeks before PPE Medpro was awarded its notorious PPE contracts.



    So what else does Gove have to hide?

    Come on, this isn't about, and shouldn't be about point scoring.

    Os - I've taken you off ignore - I actually still just about believe in you. Many don't. You can go softly, along the lines of "it would probably be a lot better if Musk stopped commenting on global politics, and concentrated on DOGE and his spaceships".

    As long as you believe that.

    If you don't believe that, well, hmm...

    You continue to slate him but all it does is show that you hate human progress.

    Every negative propaganda that is regurgitated about him just reinforces to me the jealousy of success that the left feel.

    He’s elevating humanity with multiple companies and all the left do is try and bring him down by focusing on utter drivel.

    It feels like admitting his success would force people to admit their own crushing insignificance.
    Every achievement is mocked mostly by people that have achieved very little

    You'll need to expand on your explanation of that with regard to the two "issues" I've raised today. They're nothing to do with his companies, they're not propaganda, and they're not utter drivel.

    It doesn’t seem to be a Christian genocide. The victims are predominantly Alawite Muslims. Keep changing the topic though!
