I hope he pisses off trump enough to get destroyed.
Hopefully they destroy each other while they’re at it
If enough people start talking about President Musk and his sidekick Trump...
This has to spread enough for orange turd to watch !
😂
It's inevitable.
They're both extreme narcissists and only Trump has any legitimate power out of the two. Eventually musk will try too hard to control him and Trump will use everything in his power to destroy him which, thanks to the Supreme Court, is now unlimited.
So I'd expect to see the IRS weaponized against Musk sometime in the next 12 months at the absolute latest.
I had a friend, at my first job out of college, have his "sensitive" security clearance denied after a full year of background checks because during his polygraph he admitted to trying cocaine when he was in college. That's the lowest level of security clearance, and yet musk somehow has a clearance near the top.
I bet the secret ingredient is money.
And the content of their address book.
This happened to me almost 20 years ago. Answered truthfully about smoking weed. Instant denial.
Yep. The spooks are prudes about weed. No wonder we have a lack of talent in classified work.
Seems to me they're just weeding out the folks who can't lie. Can't have any honest ppl in government /s
Did your friend have hundreds of billions of dollars?
How long ago was it? When I did mine, there was an established secondary process if you answered about drugs to explain the circumstances around your usage.
2005, long before any states had legalized weed or any other recreational drugs.
Musk, who holds “top-secret” clearance, has faced scrutiny for past drug use, including marijuana and alleged ketamine use, and reported contacts with Vladimir Putin since 2022.
That escalated quickly.
Marijuanas is a gateway drug. I smoked 3 marijuanas and 5 weeks later came out of my k hole and I was in the middle of multi-billion dollar business deal with Kim Jong Un. Never smoking marijuanas again.
That's the logical progression from smoking a marijuana, it's not worth doing it.
That's correct, been smoking for a few years now and didn't meed Putin until last month.
Remember the classical progression: Marijuana, then ketamine, then Putin.
I would bet his ketamine use predated the time he famously smoked weed on Rogan's show.
And he does not strike me as a regular consumer of cannabis.
Remember kids, Putin: not even once.
I quickly went from thinking “yeah i can’t blame him those sound like the usual reasons why no one wants to work for the feds” to “oh”
One of those is not like the others
It's a good thing Trump has a history of rigorously protecting classified documents, right guys?
He shouldn’t have any clearance
Is it unlikely or will he not get it?
Anyway, whatever level of security clearance he gets, he'll invariably blab out some secret on Twitter while making one of his "hilarious" jokes during a ketamine binge.
If I am not mistaken, the President has a lot of authority over security clearances. So for the next 4 years, just like with many other things, it will depend on how a certain Orange feels that day.
Trump already gave military secrets out on twitter during his last presidency
It’s not as low of a bar as you think
Interesting that he doesnt have access to his own company's project
Not that he should, but I would bet that's less unusual than you would think. I imagine a lot of defence contractor CEOs are not given the clearance to access certain pieces of information that those working on the project have because some things need to be kept need-to-know.
I'm sure he'll just catch up on it on the bathroom
