I'd imagine the Americans outside of Trumps gang, could bring Musk down at anytime, they could just take a simple Chinese approach, throw him in jail and take control of all his assets, just accuse him of some bullshite conspiracy with China or Russia in his space race that was a threat to national security, then chuck him in a Guantanamo Bay style detention and not let him utter a single word ever again to the world, just say he slipped on the soap and took a very bad knock to the head. Everyone is dispensable when needs must.
Right. And then Musk presses the secret button and every single Tesla on the planet and most of the satellites above it stop working. Permanently. He has us exactly where he wants us.
I can't work him out. Such an enigma. Lacks the obvious creepiness of a Gates or Zuckerberg. Wouldn't surprise me if he is a megalomanic Bond villain. But equally wouldn't surprise me if he is just a super-bright wide-eyed dreamer who loves innovation. He doesn't even seem to care that much about money. Power and influence? Yes.
CIA only need to have placed sleeping incendiary devices in hair pieces and transplanted hair follicles ... dual spontaneous combustions to follow ...
There's more than a 50% chance your current internet connection is supplied courtesy of Musk, unless you've hopped on the Penny Farthing to power the generator manually again?
Would he able able to run for president. I thought you had to be born in the USA for that and he was born in South Africa?
You are joking. This guys on levels of batshit crazy like trump. Can't take any criticism at all and wants to be loved by everyone. Deffo creepy, put me in a room with saville and rolf before this chump
These billionaire oligarch tech-bros are more of a long term threat to democracy than Trump imo. They own the digital space and have shown they’re willing to use it to control the political narrative in their favour. These bastards need reigning in, urgently.
I'm surprised from a National level of security, they allow these rich digital bods so much free reign, I can see them getting reeled in one day with a sledge hammer approach....once Trump and his mates piss off or die.
Not if the political will exists, it isn’t. But curtailing the power of the international oligarchy requires international co-operation between governments, and that might be asking a lot.
