Musk sharing pro-Russian content and ideas?? No way!

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 11 points 19 hours ago

Glad this guy isn‘t in charge of any critical infrastructure like spaceflight, internet or mobility.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Leon is part of that machine.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So, are you dumb or colluding? Which one is it Muskrat?

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anyone else noticed how Musk's actions flip-flopped to favor Russian interests ever since he had that phone conversation with Putin?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is raises the kwestion of whether he's korrupt or kompromised or both

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally I think he’s just a cunt but hey who knows

Look, just because one Russian word starts with K, doesn't mean you need to be in here trying to insinuate Putin is shilling for the KDE project! ^(j/k)^

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

He's in kahoots + kolluding with the Krispy Kreme Kreation Kompany of Karolina (KKK). I read all about it on Uncyclopedia

Mid-key, Imma little disappointed you didnt throw in a "you little shit" suffix for your prefixed "Look [here]" lol

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

He fucks kids. They all do. Someone has the proof => they tapdance to whatever tune their handlers play.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 5 points 22 hours ago

He must have been disgusted, he's basically linking to the competition instead of his own homegrown AI propaganda machine.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did he maybe forget to register as a foreign agent?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably. He forgot to actually get the degree he says he has.

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

Well, the important thing is he's sure he could have gotten it, so it's basically the same as having it.

/s just in case

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a great thumbnail image and exactly the face I imagine him making anytime he does some dumbass shit.

I thought this was why he was given so much money by the Saudis and others to purchase Twitter in the first place?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

That's what his employer paid him to do.

[–] SelfProgrammed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Are we supposed to believe he did this on accident?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Of course he did.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

So...just another Tuesday.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well that's a repetitive title

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Somewhere in Foggy Bottom there is a group of desks which watch every move he makes...

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Mayor Humdinger is outraged.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Well, it's also an area just outside of Adventure Bay, where Mayor Humdinger, the arch nemesis of the Paw Patrol, resides.
