Why Elon’s NYTimes Event F-Bomb Was Good For America
Clash Daily ^ | Wes Walker

Posted on 11/30/2023 4:02:20 PM PST by NoLibZone

Sometimes it takes a little bit of 'shock' to wake a culture out of its slumber

Not gonna lie, seeing Disney’s CEO flamed in public to his face is throughly satisfying. More than that, there is reason to believe it was a good day for America.

We hear no end of left-wing finger-wagging about what’s ‘good for democracy’. But what Elon just did might actually help put the Republic back on firmer ground.

There are two aspects to the F-bomb story. There what he did, and what he refused to do. Both are important in the bigger picture.

Elon Musk stood in public and told one of the top-fifty corporations in the country that he didn’t need their money if it came with strings attached.

If that same CEO (and others like him) had the balls to look Xi and his CCP flunkies in the eye and tell them the same damned thing, America would be in a much better place today.

Correct. Musk is an agent of the CCP, meant to be a Manchurian Candidate inside the Republican party. And he’s doing a terrific job at hoodwinking people.

He certainly is not the hero people of all walks are making him out to be. At times he says one thing but then turns around and does things that contradicts what he has recent said. Such as conservatives he bans on twitter for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

The same goes for Vivek Ramaswamy. While I enjoy what he often says, I do not trust him or promote him either.

Musk was born in S. Africa. So, like my younger two daughters, he is not eligible.

I could see him replacing Bill Nelson as head of NASA.

I’d like to see that just to freakout the left.
Maybe Musk could do to the federal government as he did with Twitter.

All that matters now is winning and stopping the bleeding.

Not taking the bait.

He still has a LONG way to go to earn any cred with me.

Is he a natural born citizen?

I'm fairly certain that Pretoria, Republic of South Africa, is not part of these United States.

more important than anything any VPOTUS will ever do.

VPOTUS may possibly be the most useless political office in the whole Republic.

There has never been a situation where a company has been so publicly chastised for trying to commit censorship.

That’s what makes this incident so different. Musk didn’t let them get away with it, and did so very profoundly and very publicly. Everyone is talking about how Disney tried to censor Elon Musk

My impressions from listening to the first 10 minutes of the video/interview.

One - Elon Musk reminds me of Tony Stark from the MCU. When he breaks out in nervous laughter, the interviewer does not seem to grasp that Musk is laughing at him - and those like him - for his inability to understand the simple concepts he is expressing.

Two - the comment that his mind is a storm. It is simple to understand. He is one of those that have existed throughout history that sees things that others cannot or refuse to see.

Three - he says let the chips fall where they may, and the interviewer cannot seem to grasp that concept. I have had that problem with people. Musk says he can break out a thesaurus to get the guy to understand. I have replied to people throughout my life that I have used the limit of monosyllabic words that I know, and I am unable to express myself any simpler than I have.

Four - and maybe I should have placed this one first - these people are terrified of anyone not only having a different opinion but being able to express that opinion to anyone else. I get the feeling that these people absolutely hate the U.S. Constitution but also cannot understand that concept that the Constitution was created to give the power to the citizen - public - and not to the elites that gravitate to positions of power.

Just my take.
