        So true. Not enough people realize how much power and experience weilding that power that Putin has over oligarchs. Putin is the man behind these “men.”

        Putin controls a lot of things but he doesn’t own ole Musky. That’s a uniquely special brand of evil and crazy.

          I distinctively remember Musk going from bragging about offering Starlink to Ukrainian troops for free to limiting Starlink’s reach for Ukrainians and demanding for someone to pay for Ukraine’s usage of the network just days after having a private phone conversation with Putin. He went far more publically crazy and anti- Ukraine on X after that too.

        I mean, do they both want to play the evil game along a stray dog raised in the Kgb?

        Whats fun with narcissist people is they’ve no clue about opponents skills, since they can’t see over they’re own ones.

    The article’s title does not match the content. I read it and it does not talk about how Musk controls Trump. It talks about retaliation for those organizing protests against Tesla.

      Yeah, you really have to read the literal and between the lines understand where the author is coming from.

      “Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”

      Author is tying his tweets, this desperate interviews to the administration’s actions to get actual people charged with hate crimes for properly damage not to mention getting his shitty AG to prosecute property damage as domestic terrorism.

      Right or wrong, I do see what the author was trying to get at.

    In a matter of months, Tesla’s brand identity has radically shifted from a liberal-leaning, environmentally conscious car label to a symbol of Donald Trump’s movement, thanks to Musk’s “dark MAGA” rebranding.

    you mean nazi ?

    Because he hacked the election machines and used Twitter to push spam.

    He owns Trump and atrump knows it; otherwise he’d be staring down the barrel of a few dozen felonies.

    From the article …

    “What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it. It’s really unfortunate,” Musk continued, claiming that the “real problem” isn’t the “crazy guy” who attacks his vehicles but rather the people that push the “propaganda” that encourages him to do it.

    “Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”

    “The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda? We’re going after them,” Musk said, casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun.

    IDK it feels mostly pathetic pleading to shareholders that he will be able to get the situation under control, and the line will go back up. It’s pathetic is what it is.
