Trump did it because it would expose the use of star-link and the manipulation Musk did with voting machines to create votes for trump to win.

This is so disappointing will we ever go back to a democracy? I’m so scared of my social security check being slashed. I’m 68 & I live off of that. 🥲

That Elon and he are really Nazis and so are the Project 2025 authors. Tell me again when the Democrats, we elected, find a magic potion that will cast a wide net over these criminals.

There are so many good and benevolent Americans. When did we stop being the good guys? We don’t deserve to be subjected to this fear and cruelty trafficked in by these dark hearted assholes.

Absolutely true. And Leonard Leo via Clarence & Ginni Thomas have mingled ALL OF IT WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH & EVANGELICAL CHURCH AS WELL.

The US stopped being the good guys right after WWII was won - as a global power.

Anything that followed engagement-wise internationally afterwards can be called capitalistic imperialism.

Why get involved in Korea?

Why in Vietnam? It was the French that screwed it up there.

Why get involved in Chile?

In Argentina?

In El Salvador?

Panama?

.... and the list goes on and on and on and on and on.....

And why not get involved in one of the largest manslaughter the world had ever seen in 1994 in Africa, Ruanda, between the Huti and the Tutsi? Over a period of 100 days between 500,000-1,00,000 people were killed, mostly with machetes - the rivers running red with the blood of the victims - not to mention the mass rape....).

Why get involved in Lybia?

Because the decade long supported Muammar Gaddafi fell out of favor?

Why get involved in Iraq?

Because the decade long supported Saddam Hussein fell out of favor?

1Mio Iraquis dead. A destabilized region, now. Mentally and pysically crippled US military personell if not dead either (6,000+). No glory. Because a former alcoholic mentally challenged by Potus fraud installed president coming from one of the richest family in the country, is spreading lies and wants to make a name for himself following what daddy successfully did before?

If there is one thing missing it is a look at the global political scene with a long-term view, making deliberate decisions applying due diligence. But that does not either exists at all, or is purposefully pushed to the side. As is in the business world - the only thing that matters are quarterlly results.

Following your observations then, the Trump dismantling of our constitutional democracy in 2025 is just well deserved US bad karma.

Quit Pro quo for all the money and, well, who knows (maybe purged votes) Trump was able to provide this favor for a favor. My level of utter disgust is boiling!

Put this out on all channels, guest on BTC and MTN Ave the Contrarian and all the pods that can amplify this view to everyone, left right and center! ElonGate is so much bigger and deadlier and more corrupt than Watergate!

USAID is shut down. This forces allies (?) to go elsewhere. China is grabbing a lot of these countries that need 'stuff'. Musk has a lot of contracts going in and out of China. Funny how the larger tariffs were going to Canada and Mexico whereas China was receiving 10%.

Musk is in good standing with the Chinese now. Trump and Musk don't care about what happens to it now since they gave it to Rubio to trash for them. That way they won't be blamed. Truth.

All the rest is distraction.

Peace-Walt.

This makes perfect sense now, especially as to why he so viciously trashed USAid on Twitter and stating it had to “die” and telling the workers not to come in to work. Elon knew that if Kamala won, then the IG would have presented his findings to Congress. Damn, this is HUGE…it needs to be on mainstream media news across the country for God’s sake. He even told Tucker Carlson that if Trump lost, that he, Elon would be “effed” and end up in prison. Share this to as many podcasters and Democrats in the Senate and Congress ASAP. This is earth shattering and I hope it continues to lead us down this path to more discovery of wrongdoing.

My understanding is that Starlink has been shutting off communications vital for Ukraine’s defense based on Musk’s agenda and deals. To advance Starlink further into worldwide critical communications is to give Musk complete control to act on whims and bribes.

Were I Ukraine I would not accept anything from the space nazi . I wondered why tRump shut down the IG's and naturally you can't shut down one specific one how wouldthat look? and it wasn't government waste either, no he's covering for his patron and because of the shut down there's 30,000 tons of humanitarian aid (food stuffs) sitting on a dock in Texas. Can we say conflict of interest?. And the maga morons got what they paid for, let's see if they want what they got?. Send letters to your reps even if their repthugs let them know that you know. I did this morning in Az.

If the IG testified before congress last August, why does it take a substack blogger to dig up this information? This is red meat for journalists - it would be how they make their name to report on this. And yet, only now are we, a small subset of smart-ass anti-fascists, finding out.
