Sometimes the Russians just know how to troll. :) Well played.
thisislife2•8mo ago
I've not been following the soap opera that is the current US government for sometime - Does Musk need it? Is he in any real danger from the Trump-MAGA crowd?

Nah he's rich
ofalkaed•8mo ago
tldr: next election cycle, Musk will be a Democrat. Again? I really hate the ways the DNC and GOP use celebrity.
davkan•8mo ago
Ro khanna extending a fig leaf to such a disgusting character as musk is at the very best an utter embarrassment. Let the party who defended his salute keep him.
jfengel•8mo ago
He can try, but it's a very uphill climb. The image of him throwing a Nazi salute are far from the worst thing he's done, but it is extremely memorable.

It's not that the DNC would have moral qualms about allying with a trillionaire, even one whose loyalties seemed to be for sale. He'd need to be on good terms personally with influential Democrats. The DNC is a long-term web of connections, and many would say that they're too slow to accept outsiders.

But he'd have to show that he has something to contribute beyond trolling Donald Trump. And just throwing money at the problem wouldn't suffice, without also making the right connections. And anybody who took his phone call would have to answer to people demanding to know why they're talking to the Nazi.

TheAlchemist•8mo ago
People already forgot apparently that last year it was revealed that Musk had regular phone calls with Putin since 2022. How it's not mentioned in that article is beyond me - do people not care anymore about real journalism ?

Ps. That being said, there is 0 chance he will need an asylum. His companies are 100% dependent on US government and he knows that very well. He already deleted the tweets in question.
