Elon Musk: GoFundMe ‘professional thieves’ for withholding $10M from anti-vax rally

Awesome. Thanks. Can always count on Paxton as among the brave leaders.

Musk is a bit “out there” but he stands on his beliefs.

Why do you say that? I think Musk is a great American.

GoFundMe blocked the release of almost $10 million in donations to the group earlier Friday, in connection with “the promotion of violence and harassment” during the Ottawa protest.

Information they got from the Ottowa police, who are hardly an objective source, and that does not take into account the transparently false-flag nature of the violence. It was, therefore, nothing more than a thin excuse. The government should be ashamed, the police should be ashamed, and the Post should be ashamed for parroting this rationalization uncritically.

The damages are not [just] contract damages. What GFM did was fraud, wire fraud and under the consumer protection laws of most states a deceptive business practice. It is also a subversion of the free speech rights of those who donated funds to a legitimate cause that they believed in.

Ah yes the industry titans

Almost makes me want to move to Texas and buy a Tesla.

Elon Musk, a man that is has already filled the sky 1900 private satellite to create the StarLink broadband internet system, his own private broadband internet service . The plans are to eventually have 40,000 satellites in the system. I expect that Elon Musk will soon start website hosting services as well as a private DNS service (e.g., A DNS maps the URL www.google.com to the internet protocol address 64.233.160.0). Once Starlink is fully operational it is mostly out of government control, being in space and all. If he does that he is affectively outside of government control.

Furthermore StarLink satellites have been communicating between themselves with lasers since 2021. The laser crosslinks greatly reduce the reliance of SpaceX’s internet network on ground stations. They are doing this because ground stations are expensive to deploy, and come with geographical — and political — constraints on where they can be positioned, vulnerable to seizure or destruction. Laser links allow the Starlink satellites to pass internet traffic from spacecraft to spacecraft around the world, without needing to relay the signals to a ground station connected to a terrestrial network - or government.

Musk has enough F-You money to also build server farms in space outside the control of America, the EU, and China. If Elon Musk decides to become politically active like George Soros he would crush Soros like a bug.

"Look-up the Russian form of government. You’ll find it closely resembles ours, without the corruption."

That is crazy talk. I agree with the rest of your statement but not that part.

By the time Starship is actually completed

Elon has been trying to get clearance for an orbital launch of Starship for months. They are on like the third delay by the FAA and NASA. It's a bad spot for biden's admin, they hate Elon, but they depend on SpaceX. But Elon has the resources to move anywhere in the world he wants. And almost any country in the world would give him free reign to do his thing. I think Elon is a patriot, but his vision of moving civilization into space is his life's ambition. It would be good to keep Elon in America, which is exactly why the biden admin will not.

Why? Because the msm says Russia bad? At this stage, you can pretty much assume anything the msm is telling you is the exact opposite of the truth.

I didn’t say anything bad about Musk. He is just a little different.

"Why? Because the msm says Russia bad? At this stage, you can pretty much assume anything the msm is telling you is the exact opposite of the truth."

I don't know how old you are but I was 21 when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1989 and I watched and read about the mass looting of the Soviet state by connected politicians and powerful intelligence spooks like Putin. It was and is a kleptocracy. Russia has stabilized since Putin is the top predator right now but it is not a free country. Then again, neither is America anymore.

Putin's done some good things for his country as well as some horrible things. I would not want to deal with and solve the problems he inherited and has been dealing with to some success. The sandbox Putin plays in has few angels, mostly demons and victims and he didn't rise to the top as an angel.

[RummyChick]

He has aspergers or something similar. Dont remember.

[rrrod]

Yep...and from what I’ve read his is a bit anti social. A loner of sort.

[TimSkalaBim]

Thanks for your post! Musk is one of the very few offering a potential avenue for political freedom in the future, and even that is a slim chance. Rejuvenating our corrupted institutions ain’t gonna make it.

[DoodleDawg]

I swear Musk is running for office.

[Flick Lives]

The meme meisters are good. Real good.

[cableguymn]

He’s right

[Flick Lives]

Musk is like the embodiment of some Ayn Rand larger-than-life figure out of “Atlas Shrugged”; a Hank Reardon or Ellis Wyatt... but with impish humor.

Musk is a bit “out there” but he stands on his beliefs.

And they seem to be aliening with mine more and more every day.
