Disgraceful from him and Americans who voted for this bollox. I have not gone to America in 10+ years because I would rather spend my money as much as I can in my own country and anywhere but there. Some things you can't help due to trade but where I can, I do. With him in office, I definitely don't plan on going there. I know he likely is just puffing his chest out like Americans do but fuk off mate. ...is anyone really surprised by all of this? They shouldn't be. The bombastic nationalist self-interest is the point. 2

SpacedX Posted 7 January Posted 7 January (edited) 48 minutes ago, Sly said: I’m surprised Musk hasn’t tried to buy TikTok and destroy it like Twitter. You mean Tik Tok isn't already an asinine, broken, vile, corrosive platform? Irrespective, think about the ownership. One of the few things that Musk pussy foots around is Chinese sensitivities and he is eager to preserve his relationship with the CCP - in particular Li Chun - and not to jeopardise the huge market for Tesla and the gigafactory in Shanghai in which over half of all the company's cars worldwide are manufactured there. Also his Mother, Maye, is a silver influencer and a huge luminary in the nation's cosmetic/fashion industry, has recently signed a highly lucrative deal with Aisa Baobaou a Chinese mattress maker and has built a portfolio comprising a slew of Chinese brand collaborations. Her biography has been translated into Mandarin and is a best seller whilst commercial endorsements have helped her to build a sizeable following on Chinese social media. Staying friends with both Trump and China at the same time is going to be a huge challenge for Kekius Maximus and as trade friction and the Taiwan question intensifies, this will be a balancing act that will be hard to maintain.In fact, this is impossible to sustain unless one of them compromises - which as we know full well, isn't in either of their natures. I predict a massive fall out within a year not dissimilar to the split with Bannon only ten times the acrimony. Additionally, Musk/X is capable of inflicting far more damage than Steve Bannon/Breitbart was and as opposed to defying the Republican Party establishment by his subsequent support of insurgent candidates in Republican primary elections, Musk meanwhile will likely shift allegiance back to the Democrats out of sheer spite - the irony. The unsavoury truth is, that Musk is a king maker now whether people like it or not. He spearheads a new era in which the corporate is able to not simply lobby, but usurp the government.

Anthony Bourdain says it best: "Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević." Put simply, he was the master of Might Makes Right realpolitik, and nations like the one Bourdain describes above were just collateral damage to him. 3 1

I guess autism is on a spectrum so we all have autistic ‘traits’ and your son will be at the higher end of that. I’m at the lower end but profound enough that it’s impacted the way I interact with others. It’s also just entered our language hasn’t it, everything is a bit autistic or adhd these days as if it’s a adjective when it’s actually debilitating for those who meet criteria for a diagnosis. Also big up, raising a child with autism is hard but with loving parents I can’t imagine anything more rewarding. 1

Like any UNHW family, it takes a good few generations until the entitled and lazy kid comes along and squanders all of that wealth. For that kid, read baby boomer generation. The empire building was done before we were a proper democracy. Looking at the history of my own family I won't be taking on any guilt. You make it sound like no other country was at it. You could trace a lot of our financial issues to the 2 world wars. 2
