'The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter'

Elon Musk slams Biden: 'The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter' | Fox Business

He also claimed that the Democratic Party is "overly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers, particularly the class action lawyers." He argued that when Democrats go against "the interests of the people," it tends to come from the unions and the trial lawyers, while when Republicans do that, "it's because of corporate evil and religious zealotry."



Me; There is a lot of sense in Musk, I agree with him on many things, I am also disgruntled with the Union I belonged to, I was the Financial Secretary and I found money missing and the president had signed out and the former FS had signed many months' worth of accounting which was wrong, 31 years in that Union form what, some got free cars cell phones and milage, The upper folks come down with lists on how to vote, not all union guys are Democrats.

 

So Elon thinks the dems are bad....color me SHOCKED.......

So the corporate buyout guy thinks dems are bad for unions that drive wages up....hmmmm, why would he think that ?

And he thinks that the republican party is anti-corporate power ? FFS, one the parties core tenants trickle down theory that STARTS with corporations getting money and tax breaks from the government.

 

I think Musk, like many, have realized how the democrat party has been hijacked over the last 20 years by radicals. The blind followers like some you find here are the last to realize it.

 

And the other party believes in crap down theory..... pumping up inflation and oil prices helps working people.... IT DOES NOT. For the love of God will somebody please stop the idiots running the country from pumping more dollars into the economy? These insane nutjobs have printed more money in the past year or two than the previous 200 years COMBINED! They have lost their damn minds.

 

And all of THAT money was minted by the Trump administration who printed more than any other administration in history

Economies don't rise or drop on a dime, these things take time from the initial cause, the the overall effect. Most economists say that is at least 6-12 months for policy to effect pocketbooks. Funny how everything started to drop the day Joe took office.......apparently Joe made all these decisions, and signed all these laws that destroyed the economy 5 minutes into his administration ?

This is almost all driven by fuel prices, as most any honest economist will tell you. And what drove up fuel prices ? I thnk we all know what that was/is. No America was NEVER energy independent. Thats a lie propagated by the right, that has been so thoroughly debunked itts amazing the rubes still bring it out

 

I am a member of the USW permanently as I retired as a Steelworker, shop steward for over years, filled in for division chairman, etc....
I also have seen some shady things involving the union, but it was few and far between. Humans sometimes cheat when they think they can get away with it.
I would only ask that you weigh all the good things your union did for so many people and realize that, although it's not ideal, the union was by far better for people
than the isolated instances of corruption.
Having unions is far better for the average worker than not having them. We can do better, and that would be the course of action opposed to getting rid of them.

Musk is an egomaniac, he needs attention like a two year old. Maybe he needs to cut back on the weed, or, maybe, increase his usage greatly.
Is he greasing us up for a incursion into politics?

 

Elon is no fool. It’s blatantly obvious that Biden is not running the country. He can’t even control himself. He’s completely incapable

 

Did you read or see his comments? Musk is a life long democrat who supported Obama.

 

He’s a democrat who is capable of seeing past the part fog and democrats don’t like that. I’m no fan of Obama. But this administration makes him look good

 

What does his party affliation have to do with what I just stated ?

I debated what he said, not who he was

 

Read the first sentence of what you stated.

 

I suppose that is true with any president since they all have speech writers.

Musk likes to insert himself into it every now and then, most recently with the Twitter thing where he cause lot of people to lose lost of money and same goes with other. And he did the same with Tesla and cryptos.

He is not after Biden with these comments, he is messing with the Biden haters, and its probably a part of his game with Twitter.

 

I think thats a true for both parties a little bit.

The woke'strs are bad for the left, but I don't think they have 1/1000th of the effect that the anti-democratic, Trumpistas (the election was stolen) have become. One side is asking for things that might be a little ridiculous, but the other is literally threatening democracy.......

 

Again, read what I posted

 

I view it as pretty equal since the riots and Jan 6 are both pretty bad events. Radicals everywhere.

 

Protests / riots were about social justice, not about any political party, while Jan 6 was 100% about political party and political leaders. I think that is a big difference.

 

You can dress it up however you like, but the fact is the riots were far more destructive and deadly than Jan 6. You also are failing to separate yourself from radicals when justifying the below as "social justice" lol... just another pawn on the board.





**** YEAH SOCIAL JUSTICE !

 

I would, politely, like to extend your statement a little.
The present and past president (46 &45) make Obama look like a great president.........
Just sayin

 

Not at all. He merely thinks what the Democrat party has become is bad. He has always been a moderate Democrat until the left moved the goal post.


Sadly, the left has this fantastic ability to alienate people of their own party these days. Keep up the fine work. At this rate, the Democrat party will have gone the way of the Dodo even before the 2024 elections.

 

No need to dress it in anyway, and I can't separate myself from something I was never involved in.

I stand by what I said. Jan 6 was 100% about political parties and political leaders (they made no attempt to argue otherwise), and the other riots were not. They say it was about social justice, but if you think it was about something else, then so be it. Makes no difference to me, but obviously it was not about political parties. Nothing justifies violence or property destruction from any of those events. Those are your words, not mine.

 

You need to learn to realize when you are being played

 

Oooooh the irony of your post... This nation is still trying to inject an ineffective experimental drug into infants while the rest of the world is going "Yeah... that's probably not a good idea!".

 

I wish Trump respected the constitution the same way he did with respect to guns. But I have a hard time putting a guy who assassinated an American without due process ahead of Trump. The only reason I put him ahead of Biden is because Biden is just a puppet player and we all know it.

 

What on earth does that have to do with what I said?

 

You've been played and you are continuing to be played to this day. But it's not Musk who is the puppet master.
