The problem is he got to lie for 4 years while biden was improving our lives daily. Now they get to see how bad our lives become and billionaires do better but I still feel we have the power. I haven't bought anything from Amazon in 2 months. Tesla going down every day. Musk lost over 100 billion .yikes. but how much did it take to sell your soul? Will any of these maga people ever stop and think about of the pain to our hard working veterans who put their lives on the l8ne for us? Liar,con artist yup

I believe the sad truth is they do not. They pretend they are for Vets and kids, elderly, etc., but like you said, and I have to keep reminding myself, they always buy into all of the lies. So how can we get them to the truth. I do believe in the end we will perservere. Keeping the faith always!

I don't know how ofteni in a conversation with one of them they'll say he didn't say that. I go find a clip ( video if possible because we know how they hate to read) and they'll still deny it saying the video was faked or something.

Has been for quite some time. Do you know when they changed the stars on their logo to pentagram (shapes)? Did it a while ago. To my knowledge there was no announcement. I don't recall hearing people say anything about it. Yup. They have upside down stars on their logo.

And Disney (off topic I apologize) has 666 in its name. One of the kids pointed a few things out years ago, and what's hidden right in front of our eyes is frightening. We quit buying Oreol cookies once the design was explained!

Yikes! These monsters worship Satan who is the god of this World. They hide in plain sight. Smiling all the while. Snakes and cannibals.

in the german newschannel (n-tv) is a precise analysis about the companys of Musk.

The prognozisis is: this construction of gaslighting and lies will end soon.

https://www.n-tv.de/politik/politik_person_der_woche/Der-Musk-Crash-hat-begonnen-article25620921.html

Here is the translation of the article with google translator.

This article is very important because it shows detailed how weak is Musk and what construction of cult (about his person) he builds. This focus on his person is now the catastrophe for his companys.

--- here is the article ---

Dramatic stock market crash at Tesla. It's not just car sales that are collapsing. Advertising revenues are falling at X, rockets are exploding at SpaceX. The collapse of the Musk empire is looming. The billionaire's arrogance and right-wing radicalism are now taking their revenge.

Tesla shares fell by 15 percent on Monday. The price losses total a staggering $120 billion - in just one day. That's like completely wiping out the value of all shares in the DAX companies Commerzbank, Bayer, Eon and Daimler-Truck within 24 hours. This daily loss is enormous, but if you put Tesla in perspective since December, the collapse is much worse: Tesla was valued at $1.5 trillion on the stock market just before Christmas, now it's only half that.

For Elon Musk, this is more than just a warning signal. It seems more like the drumbeat of an impending collapse. The New York Times warns in an editorial: "The bubble could soon burst. Elon Musk's business empire is faltering." In fact, the empire of the richest man in the world is on fire at every corner: Tesla's sales are collapsing because the competition has improved and people don't want to drive the car of an aggressive right-wing radical.

Advertising revenues have plummeted at the online platform X (formerly Twitter), and new competitors such as Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky are taking market share away from X. Here too, Musk's political involvement is massively damaging the business. Financial analysts warn that he may have paid far too much with the $44 billion and overreached himself because he is facing a rising interest burden.

A few days ago, Musk had to hastily refinance his debts and mobilized $4.4 billion in new funds from New York banks, but he now has to pay 11 percent interest on them. But the company does not deserve that. In an internal email to employees, Musk wrote that the platform was "barely profitable".

Ponzi scheme of salvation expectations

Solar City, Musk's solar company, was saved in 2017 by a controversial takeover by Tesla and has languished since then. The Boring Company, which wants to revolutionize transportation by building high-speed hyperloops, has almost a billion dollars at risk. At Neuralink, Musk's brain implant company, profits are still just a dream. And at SpaceX, it's not just rockets that are exploding, but also losses. The money magician Musk is in danger of losing his "Midas touch": the reputation that everything he touches turns to gold.

Musk's success as an entrepreneur depends heavily on the exaggerated expectations of salvation of his enthusiastic followers. Musk's companies are all dramatically overvalued because investors believe in his technological miracles. But if they don't materialize, the bubble can quickly burst. Even after the recent crash, Tesla is still valued ten times higher than BMW or Mercedes, for example - although the Germans are now superior to Tesla in many respects.

The New York Times describes Musk's method as a pyramid scheme: "The balancing act goes something like this: Dream up a company so ambitious that any setback is insignificant and any success heroic. Identify yourself as the manic genius behind that ambitious company so that you can personally profit from the above-average returns of enthusiastic investors. Use social media to cement your status as an icon, and make your believers so enthusiastic that their zeal will beat back any skeptics who dare to bet against your ventures, even as you come up with more and more fantastic ideas. At that point, you hit the flywheel: Other investors, looking for above-average returns, pounce on the stocks of your other companies, driving their valuations ever higher, bolstering your wealth and polishing your reputation as a thought leader." Musk's bluff only works with "magical thinking about the power of technology" and his shares have the character of chips in an online gambling game.

Musk is a jack of all trades

In fact, Musk needs a constantly new fantasy of oversized size to fuel his wheel of fortune. But he is increasingly running out of that in the real economy. He is therefore trying to reach the next level of money creation through his politicization. But his blustering conquest of the political stage threatens to be his undoing. With right-wing radical views, arrogant sayings and exalted chainsaw appearances, Musk has not only spoiled a lot of sympathy, but also concrete business options.

Musk likes to spread the rumor that his companies will soon receive large government contracts. But within the Trump administration, resistance to the over-excited billionaire is growing. There, too, Musk is in danger of failing soon. Last week there was a scandal in a cabinet meeting between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. President Trump himself had to reprimand Musk, saying that in future he should use a scalpel rather than an axe. But Musk can't use a scalpel, he's an axe through and through.

Conclusion: The Musk household is on fire. The financial markets have fueled his wealth and power for years. But now we see: They can destroy both just as easily. The Tesla crash could become a wildfire and completely melt Musk's pyramid scheme.

Is the crashing of the market by Trump done purposely so that his friends can buy the dip then sell when he changes course and the market goes up? Sure seems suspicious considering his character (or lack of) and his love of money.

Trump reimposed tariffs against Canada, but this time, at 50%. He is irrational, impulsive, reactive, and acting out his personal vendettas with childish retaliation. He needs to be evaluated immediately at Bethesda Naval Hospital because he has no understanding of the consequences of his actions.
