Democrats radical ?
The biggest criticism is they move too slowly, and want too much consensus.

Meanwhile Elon you mean to say Trump with his bombing of Iran, wanting to annex Greenland, Canada, Trump Gaza ( vacant possesion) , kidnapping etc is 'not radical'

Its never enough Ketamine with you eh,

Vance & Thiel need Elon Musk to be going full 'berserker' mode come midterms.
Can't see them taking the risks that Elon does, 'not really a lottery', vote buying shows.

Trump just sees his leverage, and desperate need.
Keep Epstein away from your feed and hammer my talking points.

Elon you have been very naughty you need to spend 10x this time.
2x for campaigning and rest personally to me for my good graces. Maybe :-)

With extra boost of income with his new virtual porn and beyond business.
Well Justice Department are too busy with inking their own pdf files.

There is a Maduro distraction to milk too, it will be a long fractious case potentially.

So, Elon, get ready for several hefty EU lawsuits for violating personal rights. You social noob just don't seem to understand where the boundaries of decency lie, do you?

Musk can't seem to keep his story straight. Seems he doesn't know what he believes.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

No Cybertrucks for the US Army in Europe. Who would have thought? 🤣

He continues... Elon Musk floats idea of buying Ryanair after calling CEO ‘an idiot’ | Elon Musk | The Guardian

Like "If you don't buy ads on Twitter I'll sue you" turns into "If you don't put Starlink on your planes I will buy you. And your CEO is an idiot."

Mr O'Leary is anything but an idiot.

He may upset some people and float some wacky ideas (like suggesting getting more passengers onto an aircraft by having passengers stand up) to gain attention but he isn't an idiot. He pioneered no frills cheap flights (watch this to see what I mean https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zIYPAKoyU ) but he has made it work.

I know who I'd put my money on to be the idiot.

No way! Then that idiot would have to move to the EU and would be promoting his socially inept theories here! 😬

US Airforce has a contract with SpaceX to study the use of the reusable launch vehicle for global rapid mobility delivery of military equipment. China's military thinkers say there are two potential paths forward for China:

- China must propose treaties in this area
- China must compete in this arena and be the first to achieve this at scale

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3341042/can-elon-musks-starship-upend-strategic-order-chinese-think-tank-warns-it-might

Imo military competition is the living death of space exploration and is not good for anyone. The current US presidential administration believes in strength power and winning and is unlikely to be interested in treaties. It's not a good time.

gzt,

So USA Airforce wants to deliver a banana point to point at cost of billions ?

Military equipment is heavy and bulky.
Heavy payloads to space or suborbital, and landing at full weight that needs even more fuel burn.
Pen and very small piece of paper calculation would kill that off.

More likely Trump knows he needs Elon's billions and his willingness to go way out on that limb for a banana delivery contract. Midterms
So tosses him some taxpayer money not his own.

Musk will end Model X and Model S production and convert Tesla's Fremont factory to produce Optimus robots:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/28/tesla-q4-earnings-estimates-elon-musk

Surprisingly to me at least, investors seem to be onboard with this plan. Optimus robot demos seem to be a long way behind the leading competitors in China and Korea. Going from producing cars awaiting fully autonomous capability to producing robots awaiting a brain. This looks a lot like an effort to produce a USA humanoid robot on a too-big-to-fail basis. Am I missing something?

And he was a lot more friendlier to Epstein than he would like to acknowledge.

That was somewhat challenging to verify but it is in fact a real response from the government of France:

"French Response, the [French] foreign ministry's [Twitter] account for trolling disinformation"

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/les-decodeurs/article/2026/01/18/french-response-the-foreign-service-s-account-for-trolling-disinformation-targeting-france_6749540_8.html

You really should verify those meme things before posting and link to original sources along with the meme. Without that they are mostly indistinguishable from random noise and sometimes actually wrong or misleading.
