Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

Ukraine absolutely does have conscription. Most US aid was military aid in the form of actual weapons, often from stocks or surplus, so your second statement is broadly true but people should know it's mostly not Ukrainians putting in orders with Lockheed but the US, resupplying itself.

Has anyone worked out that Edolf is profiteering off both sides by selling Starlink services to both countries and Poland was putting money into Edolf's coffers by helping Ukraine pay the bill,? Why are there no sanctions on Edolf selling Starlink access to the Russian military?

So do we assume that he and Trump believe the same bollocks? Why? Where do they get this stuff? Do they just swallow whatever the Russian propagandists say? He was a smart guy? Why so weirdly credulous?

You could also make the exact same argument about Russia (their children are getting conscripted to die in ditches while Russian oligarchs get richer—except for Putin it is 100% a war of choice, so Russia could just go home and stop slaughtering their youth) but the fascist tech bros never do.

I wish we never had to talk about that guy again, but, since he cashed out off the back of tales about mars colonisation and flying cars ... Pro Michael Hudson said things about oligarchy which stuck with me. I don't remember the exact words but, the dangers of oligarchy, are ancient lessons.

I started a thread debunking these claims with links to Kiel, programs monitoring Ukraine aid money, the fact the US cut off funding once Trump was in, data showing most of what the US gave was military aid and you can't buy TV ads in Ohio with a Howitzer... ... but fuck it. It's late. I'm tired.

When pushed on this, he's going to link to some Breitbart article or ask Grok to dig through the campaign financing records until he finds some 74 year old Ukrainian-American dual national who gave $500 to the Democratic candidate (his nephew) in a local state house race in Ohio and yell "SEE!!!!!"

While we're on this fucking subject, who know where there's a GIAAAAAAAAAANT gap between "the elites making millions" and "the common people dying in the trenches". Russia! There's exactly one elite who wants this war. One. Even the oligarchs over there hate it. Why not yell at him a bit?

He looked into Putin's eyes and got a sense of his soul. Shit. Wrong rich halfwit douche. It was Shrub. In case anyone doesn't remember. Pre-9/11 Shrub so not the unhinged religious nutter everyone remembers. The still-sane flubber in chief did that. Allegedly. He lied a lot.

I mean, the ordinary people of Ukraine, having seen civilian men, women & children in Bucha be tortured & murdered by Russians, & daily strikes by missiles & drones in residential areas, all think “yeah, actually I don’t mind if we were ruled by a Putin’s Russia”. Proof morons can earn billions.🙄

Elon is unhinged and totally incapable of understanding Ukraine. He is consumed by his belief that he's a god with a historic mission and his deep hatred towards doing something because it's right, not because it's profitable. Isolation is making all worse. Like Putin.

Elon Musk is a mass m#rderer. He's responsible for the dead of 14.000.000 people according to a study published by. The Lancet. canceling US AID. not even giving the chance to other countries or organizations to take over. bsky.app/profile/jofr...

Musk: "Pity those poor children being mauled and killed in the mud! 🥺" Goose: "And who's killing them again? 🤨" Musk: "And then the ELITES profit from the arms trade! Like I do, but you should be angry about it in this specific case."
