Elon Musk, who faces a Senate probe for his role in hindering a 2022 Ukrainian attack on Crimea, seems to share David Sacks’ view against US support for Ukraine’s counteroffensive.

    Musk said he made the decision fearing that Moscow would retaliate with nuclear weapons.

    I feel like this part is even worse. His opinion sucks and is fucking stupid, but he’s literally saying he’s making decisions (which have an impact on thousands of lives) because of his speculation on the Russian response.

    He’s not a fucking general, this shit shouldn’t be his decision. He is not informed or educated on these decisions and he’s playing with people’s literal lives. He’s literally trying to play god with his space toys.

      That isn’t his real opinion imo.

      He a straight up Russian shill traitor like every other Republican these days.

        I mean, yeah, sure, but that doesn’t change anything I said - even if he’s using it to cater to Russia, he’s still catering to Russia, playing god, pretending he’s a general, and it’s worse than the original quote of him criticizing the Ukrainian offensive.

      You know who’s not at risk of using nukes? Ukraine. Because they gave them up in return for a security guarantee from Russia.

      Even your interpretation is very charitable; it’s based on the assumption that he’s simply incredibly naive. Maybe he is, but given his explicit endorsement of a variety of far-right positions, I’m inclined to think he’s simping hard for Putin, either because he sees something material to gain by doing so, or because, like Trump, he has a huge crush on anyone with so much direct power over others and will bend over backwards for win their approval.

    Elon deliberately acted against a US ally and his actions directly led to the deaths of innocent civilians. He ought to have his citizenship revoked and be tried for treason.

      From what I’ve heard, things are bad enough there as they are, cut them some slack.

      Yeah he really doesn’t deserve being given exposure, tbh. He’s an ass that needs to be buried.

        Wait, so we should stop letting the world know the shitty horrible things he does? Give him no press so he can do them in secret with no one knowing?

    This is WHY Russia is posturing with nukes. Give us what we want or nuclear violence.

    Noel Sumk is literally saying to listen to the terrorist/bully because they are making crazy threats.
