His company got a contract in Dubai, how does that effect anything in America? No news to me just a company securing new business

Elon Musk is an international businessman, Joe Biden was a career politician.

Think a bit on this one..

Interesting show I saw on underground marvels. Many years ago Chicago gave up trying to patch their water/sewer system when the river caught on fire yet again.

The plans called for one main pipe to be the intake for the water supply but no company had equipment to do it. They had to pay a firm to design and build a piece of equipment to drill a hole that big around. Once they finished the project, the EU used it to build the chunnel from England to Europe......thats one big arse drill.

Not necessarily, the devil is in the details. Elon has lots of international contracts.

Tesla has plants in China.

You made a very dumb statement as one is a businessman, the other is a politician making money off of his office.

So you would agree he's beholden to Saudi, CCP, and other foreign influences by nature of his responsibility as CEO of several international companies?

Absolutely. And I understand the fiduciary duties of a CEO being to his companies too. Making it a total conflict of interest for having a government contractor represent our government in this fashion.

Yea the same guy that went to a summit and told everyone trying to bankrupt X by pulling ads to "frick off" live on air is beholden to people.

If Elon spent his current net worth at a rate of a million per day and did not earn any interest on it or another dollar ever, it would take him 937 years to go broke and you idiots all act like he still cares about money. It's laughable.
