Riiight. Listen, this isn't going anywhere. You think a salute is worse than a genocide, musk is a greater threat than dictators with nukes, and there's no way I'm going to change your mind. I'm going to peace out

    In a couple months a drug fueled musk did to the US what Xi and Putin have been trying to do for decades. It most certainly wasn't just his salute that made me think that.

    You could change my mind if you brought any information to the table that shows how those two are worse than musk.

    Enjoy your day.

    Xi became president for life almost a decade ago, Putin ignored term limits in like 2008. Musk is failing to do what they have done, and he doesn't even express any real power over the president given he hid his role from the courts and left the white house with a black eye.

    And? I concede that both of them are doing their best to end US as a superpower, but when was the last time either of them cost the US $500 Billion in tax revenue as well putting 283,000 Americans out of work in just 4 months? Again this all goes back to a car company that isn't run by Xi or Putin. Tesla is run by a Nazi.

    The report shows that “DOGE Actions” led to 283,172 job cuts in the first four months of 2025, and “DOGE Downstream Impact” was cited as the reason for another 6,945 job losses, which the report indicates largely come from non-profits and education organizations.

    You could make the argument that Russian interference helped give us Trump in 2016 and that Chinese Military run TikTok's promotion helped him in 2024, so yes those two actually did do that pretty recently, yeah.

    You sure could argue that. Correlation doesn't equal causation. You could also contribute trump's 2024 win to the 10 million less democrats who decided not to vote. I doubt all 10 million of those were because of tiktok.

    musk didn't own twitter or contribute $220 million to trump's campaign in 2016 either.
