African Musk: Not a Fragrance

[Stavros]

What a dope. Is he concerned about those other 'one party states', like Wyoming, Texas and Wisconsin, to name just three, and the means used by that one party to secure power? When he colonises Mars, will it be a multi-party democracy?

Completely agree Elon-Right Wing Loving Assclown-Musk is a dope. The more he opens his mouth,the more idiotic he sounds.

So, Elon Musk sings from the same song sheet as the Ambassador to the Court of St James from the New Soviet Union, or Novyy Sovetskiy Soyuz, or новый советский союз for the Trolls in St Petersburg with a dark sexual secret lurking in these pages...

But if the New Soviet Union cannot be beaten, the obvious alternative question is: can it win?

One wonders if Mr Musk, his friend in London, and probably Tucker Carlson -who now prefers Moscow to any city in the USA- agree with the Party Line.

I am aware that people working for Elon Musk have done great things with technology -at some point if it is proprietary now, it will in time become universal, with or without him and his company taking a cut of the profits.

But this is beyond obscene, it is almost without meaning. The meaning that it has, that Musk did not get a salary also does not make sense -did he not have shares in the company?

Then irony is he is so rich he could exist without the salary 99% of workers rely on. But the figure- no, it is simply wrong, and I can't understand the shareholders who would approve it, as it makes a mockery of that elusive thing called a 'business decision'.

When CEO salaries went through the roof 20-25 years ago, we were told in a global economy it was market rates. Are CEO salaries or more importantly, annual income, to be measured in Billions? But can we stop it?

"Tesla’s shares are down 28% this year. It has warned of “notably” slower growth as sales in its second-largest market, China, fall. A defect forced a recall of its highly anticipated latest product. The chief executive spends a lot of time at other companies or generating controversy. How do you reward him? With a record-breaking $56bn pay deal, if Tesla gets its way at its annual meeting on Thursday.
"Denholm [Tesla Chair] appealed to shareholders again last week, saying there was a risk Musk would step back from Tesla if they did not back his pay package this week. “If Tesla is to retain Elon’s attention and motivate him to continue to devote his time, energy, ambition and vision to deliver comparable results in the future, we must stand by our deal,” she wrote."

No 10 criticises Elon Musk for ‘civil war is inevitable’ post on England riots | UK news | The Guardian

What does the ignorant American achieve by forming an alliance with 'Tommy Robinson'? It's not like there is any money to be made, while the reputation of X as a platform for Neo-Nazis, Fascists and anarchic trouble makers who use democracy to destroy it is secure. What happens when someone dies because of the 'recreational violence' that is happening on the streets of the UK? Does Musk even care about that?

[Stavros]

Some more on the owner of X, the Platform of Hate. Again, what is Musk's motives given that he is not making any money out of the hate and violence in the UK? And why has he not investigated, or asked questions about the Russian connections to the violence in the UK which has followed the election of a Labour Govt that Musk- and Putin- obviously do not approve of?

As for 'the Base', which may or may not have traction in the US, this Russian-based Nazi outfit may in reality be ineffective, but such people only need to be 'lucky' once, whereas their victims need to be lucky all the time. And if you are wondering where you heard that term 'the Base' before, think al-Qaeda, another world domination outfit, but one that has slumped into the shadows of war.

Maybe the UK Govt should announce it is no longer going to use X, the Platform of Hate as part of its PR, and declare the sick Maga-lo-Maniac Persona non Grata in the UK. As if he cared. Maybe he is about to go on holiday in Cyprus with his drug-peddling mate 'Tommy Robinson', though a hotel at £400 a night must sound like a slum to billionaires. But hey, it's Cyprus, so there are plenty of kebabs to eat.

Is it possible to believe in absolute free speech and democracy? Or is one a form of anarchism, and the other a form of social organization? Whatever it is, Musk seems reluctant to explain his sudden interest in the domestic politics of the UK.

'The Woke Mind Virus'....the spark that drove Musk into the arms of the 'anti-woke' conspiracy soaked right and away from the Democrats?

"According to Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson, the transition of his child had a profound impact on Musk’s world view, with the rejection of him as a father triggering his descent towards fringe conspiracies and setting him on a trajectory towards becoming a leading figure in the culture war.When she turned 18 in April 2022, his daughter legally changed her name from Xavier Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson, declaring to the court: “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.” Musk’s girlfriend at the time – Claire Boucher, known professionally as Grimes – told Isaacson that she had “never seen him as heartbroken about anything”."

"In an interview with Peterson last month, Musk publicly spoke about his reasoning behind his daughter’s estrangement for the first time – and the motivation it instilled in him to undergo his own political and moral transition. “Essentially… my son is dead,” he said. “Killed by the woke mind virus. So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we’re making some progress.”
It has been a quick capitulation from centrist moderate to far right instigator for Musk. His tweet about finding the origin of the “woke mind virus” came just three months after tweeting: “I prefer to stay out of politics.”"

I can't be sure what happened, I don't even know how much time the Dad spent with his Son and Daughter, or why one rejected the other, but I would like to think that in other families, the parent(s) would be more sympathetic or at least ask why, rather than blame some abstract other, for something that is so personal, but I am not him.

Farage and Musk, the double act of lies and disinformation. Two tier policing? It's been common for decades, just ask a Black Briton. Open borders? Every country with a coastline knows it cannot police every inch of it, that doesn't make it an 'open border' in the sense NF means it. As for the 'Woke Stasi' -when is this abuse of the English language going to stop? It makes a mockery of the facts, and may be why Farage is losing support, probably Musk too though that might be harder to quantify, just as the rioters in the UK seem to realize they have lost the plot, though they haven't gone away.
