10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
These articles sound like their primary goal is to anger Trump.
I'm fine with that.
Better than spending the next 4 years calling him pretty hoping it will keep him docile.
Or 4 years of "Trumpanzee SLAMMED for tweeting , fight about it amongst yourselves, peasants!"
Sounds also like it's trying to suck Musk off. "Look at how much money he has! That's so important! It's a lot more than Trump has!"
Yeah, that is the point of the article. Not to point out the president-elect that was on the verge of bankruptcy for like 30 years is suddenly and mysteriously agreeing with everything the richest man in the world says.
He’s never even really claimed to have money.
Um, yes he has, like all the damn time!
Seriously. This is what the whole NY trial and 36 felonies were about.
Oh, gosh no, please don’t turn on each other /s
This is very concerning for anyone who has paid attention to Musk's movements/behaviors prior to connecting with Trump. I'm not talking about the X rants (those are a distraction), but Musk's interaction with the tech industry—particularly the AI industry. I believe the man wants loads of power through AI, and he'll gain it in very unconventional ways if he influences Trump and the rest of the GOP. This goes beyond an oligarchy. The potential he could have to completely run the world is quite large. This is why so many tech companies are paying massive financial homage to Trump at this time.
I think his goal now is to literally run the world behind the scenes. Notice he's now trying to influence Germany's elections.
I think he's trying to attract these unsavory parties, because they are easy to be bought before and after they are in power. Then he can develop his tech any way he sees fit. If you look at how he's been interacting with other tech leaders, it's pretty freaky. He was hassling Dr. Hinton not too long before latching onto Trump.
I don't get it. I don't understand why that would be trouble for president-elect Musk.
