He's a SHEINholder?! They have total access to your data. Read the TOS. Direct link to China. No better than TikTok.
If everyone would not buy Teslas and more importantly, SELL ALL OF THEIR STOCK IN IT, boy would it be fun to watch the mighty fall. Because that would do it. Almost instantly.
Gotta love how Tesla sales are down 50% in Europe. Especially Germany. Don't f*ck around with them and Naziism. But of course FElon has cut prices for them in China.
God America is stupid. This love of money got us where we are today. Started over 40 years ago and nobody has done shit about it. Including two Democratic administrations.
*Not counting Biden's term as the damage was done and there was no way he was gonna be able turn it back.
3) I think it odd to protest Elon's monopolistic and data-collection pursuits because Google, Meta, and the rest do that as well (not so much U.S. govt. data, but global citizens' data). Let's also keep in mind that the federal contracts of Musk were all acquired/escalated in the Biden administration.
All in all, we're in a topsy-turvy Trump-world, and it's a mixed bag of some excellent things and some that make no sense or worse.
"Foreign Agents" by Casey Michel shows how open the American political system is to being bought. Americans applaud wealth and don't care how it was gained. Musk paid $290m to buy the President and control Treasury's trillions, so by comparison, Shein bought Patel and FBI's data treasures very cheaply. SCOTUS can determine what an appropriate amount of graft is under the constitution.
The meltdown of the liberal left is evident and epic. Washington DC has been owned by oligarchs since the 60s. We just have a different oligarch in power. If you want to fight this, take out the money from politics, otherwise, the smartest oligarch wins.
Oh, wait a minute. Musk cares only about acquiring, controlling, and having obscene amounts of money, and Patel is not straightforward? That changes everything.
I apologize for agreeing with you. I didn't expect that to provoke you.
I was going to mention that the seventh word of your last response to me should have been you're, not your, but it's probably dangerous. I don't want to get poked.

Very interesting report! A couple of thoughts:
1) Trump clearly likes his appointees to duke it out -- as shown by the Elon-Kash clash. That's one among many signs that Trump is his own boss.
2) The MAGA populism, as articulated by Steve Bannon, is actually an impressive, robust philosophy and platform (even if it includes some toxic crap). This long Bannon interview is fascinating as it shows his disdain for most Republicans and for Silicon Valley titans: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/opinion/steve-bannon-on-broligarchs-vs-populism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tk4.nC7b.er1sAOShOHBq&smid=url-share

Cayman islands, seven figures, Chinese holding company conglomerate Shein.
Patel FBI Director ...WOW
Oh, wait a minute. Musk cares only about acquiring, controlling, and having obscene amounts of money, and Patel is not straightforward? That changes everything.
To be the director of the FBI you should be straightforward.
I guess you'll have to explain that to Patel and Senate Republicans. Talk slowly, and enunciate clearly.
If you are going to point your going to get poked.

Ment it seems that Patel was in a glass house throwing stones at Musk.
Sorry to be sooo uneducated.
