Trump's Tech Fans
Musk was a member of the so-called PayPal mafia - stakeholders who made fortunes when the payment processor was bought for $1.5 billion and who later became prolific investors and corporate founders.
@ecksmc Musk wanted a position In Trump's white house. This was a job interview
@catlynne333 I don't think that was a motive for last night
more musk wants to be in trumps good books so him and his crypto bros can then get trump in side, which is happening and has been over past weeks, Musk and the PayPal mafia have Vance in pocket already - and now trump is all in favour for crypto after years of saying it wasn't worth anything - trump campaign have received millions in crypto donations as well hundreds of millions - Musk is doing the "pay to get access" thing
@ecksmc Musk suggested it Trump played withthe idea saying you would be good
@catlynne333 take that with a pinch of salt
distraction to try and get people talking about that while the real agenda goes past with little to no attention
he ain't interested in a government job - it's kinda laughable - he's to heavily invested in his own agenda - Musk & Trump to peas in a pod they'd hate each other within days fighting for attention - ego maniac narcissists don't play well with each other & both of them know that would be a disaster - imo anyway it was a distraction
@ecksmc i would agree if he Musk hadnt groveled so much
@catlynne333 that's part of Musks agenda though suck up to Trump for now to gain favour
then if he wins president again Musk, in his mind, will be owed one, or seven, favours = crypto regulations in favour of Musk and his PayPal mafia friends as well as all the other stuff Musk wants like bank regulations so X can handle payments for users give users loans etc...and the final push in turning X into the everything app with little to no push back with the presidents help
it was an act by Musk
@catlynne333 think of it as a long con by Musk more than anything else that's what Musk is trying to do
when two people like that talk it's not what they say you listen to it's what's not being said and why it's not being said - "read between the lines" - there is always a hidden agenda with people like they two
trumps agenda is clear he just wants the WH again & he'll "jump in bed" with anyone if he thinks it'll help & Musks followers are what trump is going after - Musks agenda is in line mostly with what PayPal mafia wants along with some other personal stuff
Well sorry if you think you can read between the lines on What Trump says i am concerned for you
Trump said he would be a dictator day 1
Trump vows revenge on those who he feels wronged him
When he was president he sent my state q tips instead of cotton swabs making it impossible to test for covid BECAUSE WE WERE A BLUE STATE AND HE HATED BLUE STATES CUZ THEY DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM
Reading between the lines with Trump is DANGEROUS HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS
thanx for the concern but I'm good 👍
you have to read between the lines with people like trump/musk they say way to much bullshit to try and distract people sometimes you have to look at what's not being said
it doesn't mean there is something wrong with me or people who do the same - sometimes you try and understand someone & it's better to try understand someone than hating them 24/7
personally i don't hate anyone wouldn't waste my energy on that nonsense
@ecksmc @killingfloorman Well did you live in a state who could not test for Covid becasue of a vindictive President
unless you walked in their shoes i think i would not judge someone
About Musk My son is a Musk lover and i know his policies since i have to have his praises sung to me on a daily basis I think Musk is a fraud
I'm not judging anyone and never would 🤷♂️
and ftr I'm not American and don't live in the states
don't know why you're getting all defensive either like I'm a musk fan or something which i ain't I know musk is a fraud he's a conman like trump - that doesn't mean i need to hate on them
you do you and all that I'll do me 👍
@ecksmc well if you are not in the USA then you are not facing a possible nightmare scenario and i can see why you feel free to pontificate We here need to guard against bad misleading information getting out to the populace We are fighting a war of missinformation @killingfloorman
@catlynne333 like the USA is unique and only there there is a war on misinformation
every country on the planet is fighting that war US isn't unique in that regard
why do you think the UK riots started last week because of misinformation being spread
we all need to guard against bad misleading information
@ecksmc We agree finally 😃 👍 @killingfloorman
