What’s the end game for musk in all this?
Well if
@ROFLUTION gets their way, Musk gets Nuanced!
I think it's clear Musk just wants world domination. I've often wondered what real life Bond villains look like and Musk absolutely is one. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if his space rockets were designed to steal Russian or Chinese satellites or space craft. Or that they were designed to intercept the International Space Station or if he had a Tesla that fired missiles, had rail guns and shot smoke and oil out the back.
On a serious note though, that's not as far fetched as it sounds when you look at how he has Starlink and the way he's been accused of using it or how he's let other countries use it or not let them, or it's gone down (been turned off?) at certain times for certain countries yet not others. So many governments use it in some way or another, including the US and UK. It's been reported to have been used by the US to aid Ukraine, but also it's also been reported Russia are using it too, be it illegally or not, that's hardly the point. It was also reported Musk wanted to turn it off to upset a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian warships.
Next look at his Twitter feed since he purchased it. His feed has progressively descended in to the online equivalent of Rupert Murdoch thinking out loud, with the thoughts and all his publications future front page headlines, it's just they get published instantly and as Tweets. To me it appears as if Musk has been testing the water with his Twitter influence in politics and elections around the world and he has publically sided with many right wing or far right parties, leaders and politicians from different countries.
None of that even covers the influence he's trying to exert around the world amongst racists and climate change deniers, anti Vaxers etc.. He's gone hard down the far right conspiracy tunnel which is ironic not only because of Tesla, but also because of his continued announcing the importance of colonising Mars being the only way to save the human race. He's all over the place morally and politically and definitely ethically too.
I mean, you even have Tommy Robinson directly appealing to him. Tommy and his mates have been touting Elon as the saviour of Free Speech in the modern world for months now and because of that Elons name is now all over tens of thousands of posts promoting Tommy Robinson's Stand Up To Tyranny, Unite The Nation hate march (nuanced view required) that's scheduled for this Saturday in London.
That march has just been changed to Unite Europe as apparently the parasitic little cnut has got some French, German, Italian and Dutch nationalists to speak at the event and they are trying to get similar events take place in their own countries.
So Elon's money, wealth and influence are everywhere and he has been consistently pushing it all more and more around the world, regularly meeting political and religious leaders, giving interviews, attending political rallies or featuring as part of their campaign, heck, he's now giving $1m dollars a day to people who sign his petition that's all part of his aim of getting Trump elected ...
If Trump gets elected it will grant Elon access, information and power to things that not being a natural born US citizen, he wouldn't normally be allowed access to. He knows Trump is easily manipulated and played so he sees this as his best chance.
Imagine if Trump does get in and then you have a dementia riddled power hungry, dictator loving, Hitler admiring, sociopathic bigoted, compulsively lying, narcissist with delusions of grandeur that is hell bent on revenge against anyone who ever even looked at him funny alongside the worlds richest man who has access to a powerful network of satellites, a social media platform that has access to hundreds of millions of people and who clearly has many personality issues and mental health problems as well as a raging Ketamine habit.....
I mean, what could possibly go wrong? (Nuanced opinion required)
