    i would condemn anyone who cheered that on and i think most non-trumpers would as well.

    you on the other hand have aligned yourself with january 6th insurrectionists who assaulted police so you really have no room to talk when accusing leftists of defending violence.

    Still think X should add a "grok" truth-analysis to tweets that anyone can click to find out how reliable the post is. Don't think Musk would go for it.

    Mexican Billionaire Carlos Slim Cuts Ties with Elon Musk’s Starlink, Costing Musk $7 Billion After Controversial Tweet

    Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has officially severed ties with Elon Musk’s Starlink, opting to invest in his own telecommunications infrastructure rather than relying on Musk’s satellite technology.

    Slim’s company, América Móvil, announced a massive $22 billion investment over the next three years to enhance its network, signaling a major strategic shift in Latin America’s telecommunications industry. The decision is expected to deliver a financial blow to Starlink, which had anticipated a profitable partnership in the region.

    Tensions between the two business moguls reportedly escalated after Musk shared a controversial tweet implying Slim had connections to organized crime. Within minutes of the post, Slim canceled all collaborations with Starlink in Latin America, causing Musk to lose an estimated $7 billion.




    Shortly after, Slim announced plans to redirect his five-year Starlink projects to European and Chinese companies, further diminishing the U.S.’s commercial presence in the region.

    The problem both Republicans and the billionaire/ultra-wealthy class have in common is that Elon is out there representing them every day and people do not like the guy.

    If you're a billionaire, you should be worried. It's one thing to buy politicians and fund think tanks and young Nazis while staying out of the public eye and quite another to have this guy running around making news everyday while he becomes the face of all billionaires. And it's not just in this country either.

    He got high off his own supply of hateful retweeted vomit much like Trump with fox news.

    A lot of this is built on cult of personality and I don't know how the backlash will start given how Jan 6 made Trump's cult even stronger...

    Im so confused again. According to the left, I thought Musk was just a rich guy who funded spacex and knew little about rocketry. Now he is a rocket genius who needs to go back to his day job instead of disrupting corruption in washington.

    That's a strong word coming from a Boer. Kelly is, of course, a former combat pilot, astronaut, and US Senator. He also has the knowledge to call BS on a lot of Musk mutterings.

    Here's Musk insulting the Foreign Minister of an ally:

    In other news, Tesla is down, down, down. The lesson is clear: go fash, lose cash.
