    I’d love that to be true and maybe it is but it doesn’t erase his scummy horseshit including his pandering to the American state and the subsequent contacts and help he received.

    I’m fully ready to accept anyone who gets a grip and grows up, but the emerald mine slavery sion is not someone I expect to change.

    That said I hope I’m proven wrong because one more converted individual especially with his power and influence is great. I just don’t see it happening.

      I don’t think he’ll ever be anything other than a turd. He’s a total conman POS, but sometimes people can be right about certain things.

        He’s a bit of a tech libertarian type isn’t he? Which I guess would go ways to explain his takes on this.

          Probably. He’s just another privileged idiot who conned his way to success. His true talent is actually conning people.

          The YouTube channel ‘Common Sense Skeptic’ has several videos on his history. Terrible channel name tbh but they are from Canada, so maybe debate bro idiots haven’t coopted that language there yet. Their videos on Musk are good at least.

          Libertarians are odd. They will have a correct analysis once in a blue moon, but never a good solution to fix it.

            Yep lol he is a A-grade conman.

            I’m usually very skeptical (get it 🤣) of the YouTube skeptic community given all the reactionary bigotry I’ve seen come out of it but if you vouch for them I’ll have a look.

            Sounds just like anarchists! Ba dum tis.

        Musk taking “based” stances on Ukraine is just in pattern with Republicans being “based” by now officially running their campaigns on pulling aid to Ukraine. It’s fascists and the ruling class adopting anti-imperialist rhetoric in order to alienate progressives from anti-imperialist ideas. Because liberals are too fucking dumb to think deeper about the issue and will just think “Republicans support this so it must be evil.”

        It’s literally the extreme right superficially co-opting leftism, like they do over and over again.
