C'mon America, the guy is 78 years old. He doesn't even know which campaign it is.

It all makes sense now, and that dope Elon Musk was lapping up and then amplifying Russian propaganda. Did he know!

I suspect Elon knew. Remember he had that talk with Putin.


Elon Musk said he had engaged in direct conversation with Vladimir Putin, according to a former Pentagon official.

Mr Musk’s comments had been made in a discussion the billionaire had with Pentagon officials in October last year about the satellite-based internet provided by SpaceX to Ukraine’s military.

The billionaire had told Colin Kahl, then the under-secretary of defence for policy at the Pentagon, that he had spoken to Mr Putin personally, according a report on Monday in the New Yorker.

“Even though Musk is not technically a diplomat or statesman, I felt it was important to treat him as such, given the influence he had on this issue,” Mr Kahl is quoted as saying.

The conversation between Mr Musk and the then-Pentagon official occurred while Ukrainian forces were experiencing a disruption in their connection to Space Exploration Technologies Corp’s (SpaceX) Starlink service, coinciding with their entry into territory contested by Russia.

I think this one has teeth. Keep an eye on it. It's not pizzagate type conjecture.

So you believe that Elon Musk is explicitly and knowingly engaging in a conspiracy with Vladimir Putin?

No offense, but I don't think I deserve eye rolls for this one dude. I'm not assured it's true but it's a possibility. That's really dismissive. This is manic street preacher ramblings.

Why is considering that as a possibility crazy? Is Russia above that? Is Musk morally above that?

Probably belongs in another thread at this point but Russia strategy which involves amplifying the right, isolationists and political extremes in general, is also on display in Florida.
4 Black extremists are on trial for being Russian agents.



Tampa, Fla. — The trial began in Florida Tuesday of four activists accused of illegally acting as Russian agents to help the Kremlin sow political discord and interfere in U.S. elections.

All four are or were affiliated with the African People's Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement, which has locations in St. Petersburg, Florida, and St. Louis. Among those charged is Omali Yeshitela, the 82-year-old chairman of the U.S.-based organization focused on Black empowerment and the effort to obtain reparations for slavery and what it considers the past genocide of Africans.

Based on the number of family members with only 4 fingers, they may be from the vertical part of the family tree (or AI generated).

Ha ha, I totally missed that. The whole "they are related through his grandfather's brother" thing was totally made up then. What a world we live in.

And now upon further reflection, it comes from Benny Johnson, so likely just something conjured up in Russia. They need to bone up on their English grammar.

Hilarious.

if Tedbot fails to recognize AI, we might have to reassess his previous performance on the Turing test.

Then this comes as no surprise. But when idiots push back aggressively and persist in the face of evidence, how do we judge their complicity?

Great example of my point. Mike Lee is and always has been an idiot. Simple as that.
