    He talked favorably about H1-B visas and since anti-Indian hate across the entire spectrum of humanity is a unifying, all consuming force even chuds turned on their dork in chief and saw that the capitalist isn’t actually batting for them.

        Not yet, Trump is using Elon as a sweetener for his deal with China.

        I think if Trump’s rapprochement with China fails, then Elon gets fired.

    Increasingly thinking the Musk/Trump partnership isn't even going to make it to Inauguration Day.

      Him and Laura Loomer are in a pretty sloppy slap fight so he took away her verification and subscriptions and apparently sent messages to all her subscribers saying she wasn't doing anything anymore.

      He banned Mandla Mandela's account on twitter as he was intending to board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2024. Also Musk probably has some sort of a blood rivalry against Mandela because of the whole "end of Apartheid" thing.

      I also got my 19th Twitter account permbanned, my best performing one yet, 7th October Johannesburg Paragliding Academy becoming martyred, xD

        Also Musk probably has some sort of a blood rivalry against Mandela because of the whole "end of Apartheid" thing.

        The Musk family until 2022 were a bunch of libs, they were against apartheid. Elon and his brother ran away to Canada to avoid being conscripted into the Army and sent to die in Angola.

        I think Elon said some good things about Nelson Mandela, but Mandela is one of those figures only very far-right people hates. Even some Pro-Apartheid politicians admit Mandela was a good President.

        Elon doesn't have any real ideology besides being popular and making money, which is why he used to support Democrats and was in favor of Universal Basic Income. Nowadays he just wants to be popular with Chuds and 15 year old incels, but qt the sametime he refuses to attack Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and China, because he has business ties there, and he isn't crazy to break those ties because of ideology.

          Musks brain broke when Grimes allegedly dated Chelsea Manning for a few months in 2022. That’s when Musk went from empty bullshit to full fascism.

            I remember that, lol tito-laugh

            I think Elon just realised it was easier to grift to Republicans than Democrats, which is why he "changed sides". I reality he didn't change anything, he only cares about his money and getting funding to continue his money laundering schemes.

            On 9 March 1972, Errol Musk (Elon's Father) was elected as an independent to represent Sunnyside on the Pretoria City Council. In 1980 , he became a member of the Progressive Federal Party, the new official opposition formed in 1977, and ran as their Sunnyside nominee in the 1981 election.

            The Progressive Party (Afrikaans: Progressiewe Party) was a liberal party in South Africa which, during the era of apartheid, was considered the left wing of the all-white parliament. The party represented the legal opposition to apartheid within South Africa's white minority.

            The Progressive Party of South Africa is not to be confused with the much earlier Progressive Party of the Cape Colony, which was founded on very different, pro-imperialist policies and which became the "Union Party" in 1908.

            Elon Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa's mandatory military service, which would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime, and to ease his path to immigration to the United States

            Joshua N Haldeman (Elon's Maternal Grandfather) was an American-born Canadian-South African chiropractor, aviator, and politician. He became involved in Canadian politics, backing the Technocracy movement, before moving to South Africa in 1950. In South Africa he was a supporter of apartheid and promoted a number of conspiracy theories.

            Joshua also gave a speech defending a decision by a party newspaper to publish the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an antisemitic forgery claiming an International Jewish conspiracy to rule the world. In his speech, Haldeman said “that the plan as outlined in these protocols has been rapidly unfolding in the period of observation of this generation.” He would later claim apartheid South Africa was leading “White Christian Civilization” against the “International Conspiracy” of Jewish bankers and the “hordes of Coloured people” he claimed they controlled.

            I can't find anymore, but there used to be an article saying that Errol Musk supported the end of apartheid because it would have been good for his business, since South Africa didn't have relations with other countries besides Malawi. Errol used to own an emerald mine in Zambia, which was under a Socdem Military control goverment which supported the ANC and was against Apartheid. Anyway, Errol is also an awful person like Elon, and he married his own step-daughter which is really fucking weird and gross.
