Planet of reality

Alternate reality possibly. The same kind as Trump's "alternative facts" reality. Grin

yakbear · 23/02/2025 20:04

Or perhaps the planet of propaganda.

I follow his daughter on Instagram and I can safely say he’s treated her like shit.

If he treats his own kids like garbage I doubt he’d care about any one else’s.

Visited Auschwitz-Birkenau: In January 2024, Musk toured the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland, joining a memorial ceremony and later speaking at a conference on antisemitism, reflecting on the Holocaust's impact.

Was he looking for the instruction manual?

Hunter Biden bought cocaine into the white house.
Obama hosted regular sex and drug parties.

You forgot that the Clintons sacrificed babies to the devil. Hmm

All the people saying he did a Nazi salute I can guarantee did not watch the full video for context. They want SO much for him to have done it, it doesn’t matter what is said in his defence. They’re the chickens who thought the sky was falling in on them.

Don’t form incorrect conclusions from insufficient data in future.

Bless. The cult of MAGA has caught you good and proper. Have you considered a psychiatric evaluation?

Grimes posted on Twitter last night urgently asking Musk to contact her regarding a health emergency with one of their children because he wasn’t responding to her.

Her posts were shadowbanned and he didn’t respond.

Agree. Lots of them obviously getting rich off his back.

It really is. I’m hoping he turns out to be the friend Trump wishes he could shake off but at the moment I don’t think either of them are realising the consequences of their actions. They’re behaving like kids in a sweet shop. It’s astonishing to watch.

I am very uneasy about both Musk and Trump. Watching Trump and Putin discussing ending the war in Ukraine without European leaders, without Zelenski, reminded me of Hitler and Stalin dividing up Poland just before the war.
Musk thinks diplomacy is a whistle stop tour where he scolds other nations and whips up a storm of extremely right wing feeling. Is he as ignorant of things as Trump? Does he believe Zelenski is an unelected dictator?.Does he favour Putin too? Does he want to asset strip Ukraine too?
The answered is, I think, is he doesn't care what's true or untrue as long as the US gets to control everywhere.

Can you let me have a link to the facts behind this please
All I could find was this, quoting £74 per person?

UK foreign aid budget 2025 = £13.7Bn.
UK basic rate tax payers = 29.5million.

That would give a cash handout to every basic rate tax payer in the country of £464 per person. Which is the same as raising the basic rate tax rate by £2,322 per person per year.

My point is that Musk/Trump are trying to cut government waste as they see it and doing it in a more brutal way than anyone ever has before. These are the difficult choices a government needs to make if they want to actually make their people better off.

Do nothing and nothing changes. If you want to be better off you need a government that will change things.... like it or not Musk/Trump are trying to save the US huge sums of money.

Meanwhile in the UK we have a government elected on promising to make us better off but the first thing they do is vote to make pensioners poorer and kill 4000 of them (according to their own predictions).

I read a Pamela Anderson interview in the Guardian I think it was earlier.

She was saying the rebel move now, if AI is really listening to everyone wouldn't it be great if everyone just filled the ether with kindness and loving communal thoughts like a total diversion from the hate.

Is about as likely as world peace but it would really mess with Musks' head!

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The irony! Thanks for the laugh.This is pretty much exactly why Trump won.

OK, thanks. I mean total number of tax payers is closer to 37m so the figure you quoted would fall and doing that to get 464 in your hand isn't the first saving I would suggest.

I do get the need for savings, I didn't agree with the non tapered cut to the fuel allowance. Taxing higher earners woukd be better, I was expecting that and would have been happy if it was well spent

But there are ways to do it, this isn't one of them. It's crass, nasty and pathetic. It will backfire in many ways

But again they voted for trump so their problem. I am more worried about international impacts

You didn't answer PPs question about Musk's rhetoric either.

I think that’s the endgame yes, whether they are aware of it or not. Three highly dangerous individuals likely to leave Europe exposed to no end of trouble.

Of course it was. The last laugh is on you if you voted for him.
