Just shut up. You don't have a clue how it works.

Lol. No it’s how rational people who don’t suffer from mental illness and are trying to justify their pathetic existence view reality.

You have absolutely zero evidence of anything corrupt (contrast previous administration) and yet assume that a multi billionaire must be manipulating government contracts to make more money. Why does he need to do that? Is that how he got where he is now? Is the risk worth any conceivable reward?

Let’s say the Soros view of the human achievement is some utopian global equality and he targets his billions toward that end (after shorting the pound and there such clearly altruistic moves, but that aside).

Is it inconceivable to you that maybe Musk’s view of the world is to implement more accountability, efficiency, transparency, and merit-based policies and institutions?

Given his accomplishments to date, is the burden of proof not on the redditor incels to prove that he is an evil super villain?

Considering you can’t expand on any of these thoughts so far, this is weak. Go back to that post and start over.

Not what I said and you have to resort to childish name calling when you are unable to support your position. At all.

Doesn’t matter. If he has ideas Trump wants to use then there’s no title needed.

Your problem is that you care about convincing me of your point. I do not have that problem with you.

It doesn't matter to me if you believe me or see things my way. In fact, it's advantageous to me that you don't.

You've answered my questions with questions. That isn't how this is going to go.

You misquoted then paste in a small part of what i said in a feeble attempt to support your absurd position.

This is the level of discourse and the tactics we’ve come to appreciate and which have been soundly defeated, Rupar.

That was a direct quote from you. I didn't leave out anything relevant. You said what you said. Don't backpedal now.

No. I asked you to clarify a point of yours. You failed to do so.

No, I don’t care to convince you. I want to see if your point has any validity, and so far it doesn’t.

You aren't qualified to be the arbiter of that.
