Musk has received billions from the government over the years. Money to promote e-vehicles is OK, but slash that medical research!

He's a hypocrite and liar.

Musk is eccentric as all hell. Who, in their right mind, would be parading around the oval office with his kid on his shoulders, dressed in a T-shirt and baseball cap during a press conference with Trump? And Trump puts this guy in charge of our US Treasury? What is Trump thinking?

He's thinking he doesn't care what communist agitators like you want, just like the rest of MAGA thinks.
You're over you just haven't realised yet.

Musk is carrying his kid around because he is now fearful of assassination, and he is hoping that an assassin will hesitate to shoot at a child.

Of course I am a weirdo. We are all weirdos. We have chosen to live life on here instead of in the real world.

Little does he realise that your deranged far left commierades wouldn't hesitate for a second to kill a child if they thought it advanced their goals.

Interesting that without any true knowledge of who I am and what my true sensibilities are, you would lump me together with a fanatical group like that. Says more about you than it does about me. One thing is true. Politics ends up in a non-political area of Movie Chat.
I personally wish there was an algorithm that could instantly wipe out a poster's incendiary comments.
And, by the way what is "commierades"? A supposedly witty mash up of commies and comrades? Keep trying. You'll get it someday.

Call it a gut instinct. I don't care what you think it says about me. And suggesting Elon isn't political is farcical.

How do I unsubscribe from your boring comedy review and blog?
