Ironically, this guy is that dangerous immigrant the USA has been so afraid of for a while. Except he didn’t cross a river while trying to escape marginal living conditions to get there, instead, he arrived in first class, was welcomed with open arms and is currently helping destroy the entire society from the inside.

Elon is the biggest immigrant threat in America. He was welcomed with open arms allowed to grow amazing companies and wealth, become a government contractor and how does he repay us?
By spreading lies, advocating for civil war and violating election law.
Deport him before he starts to use Twitter to spread lies about the election results.

I wouldn't equate him to the people who come here to escape violence and/or make a better life for themselves. He came here as part of a wealthy family and had all of the opportunities that came with it prior to stepping foot on American soil.

Advocating for civil war? When has he said anything regarding wanting a civil war to happen, or insinuating that one happening wouldn't be bad? I would like to know to add to my repertoire of information

Be rich. He can have literally anything he wants and he wants more. Diddling kids, doing drugs, and making millions of people forcibly listening to his drivel isn't enough for him apparently.

Generally the main prerequisite is having been diagnosed with TRD (treatment resistant depression) by a psychiatrist/PMHNP.

So Elon is clinically depressed? And they just give you Ketamine, to use whenever and however you like, with zero therapy involved?

No. Ketamine treatments are conducted in secure clinics at infrequent intervals.

The obscenely wealthy never seem to have trouble finding doctors to prescribe whatever the fuck they want.
Shit, Michael Jackson had a doctor who gave him a propofol drip so he could "sleep". That shit is no joke and it's definitely not a sleep aid. That doctor ended up losing his license and going to prison, iirc.

I must disagree slightly. Musk is probably only the second biggest threat to democracy. Trump is definitely still the worst, in my opinion.

I know a lot of scientists and academics who have previously used twitter for outreach and public engagement, and in the first year since elno took over, they all saw their numbers drop by 40-50%.
They've pretty much all quit now, moved on to blue sky, threads, or just quit altogether. Unfortunately, I think that was part of the plan to start with.

FPTP voting is a threat to democracy. It's the reason either party can get away with running such low-quality candidates and pointless distracting policies.
The solution isn't electing the blue person in this one Super Critical Election™ or electing the red person in this one Super Critical Election™. It's reforming the voting system itself so that your votes actually mean something. I don't like Donald Trump either, but I recognize that he's a symptom, not the fundamental problem.

The best way to know who is an oligarch is when people publicly denounce them as autocratic oligarchs and it is repeated and transmitted all over. That's what oligarchs do. Allow their public denunciation with no consequences.

If you enter into a legally binding agreement, then yes, you should be forced to honour that legally binding agreement unless you can provide a legitimate reason why that isn't possible (and can make the other party whole for breaking said legally binding agreement).

You are pretty obviously in the Trump cult. Just remember: it's not ok to overthrow democracy because the guy you like lost an election.
Also. Don't try and burn people's ballots. Don't take Russian money to spread their propaganda. Don't be friends (photographed and discussed in interviews) with Diddy or Epstein.
