        Venezuela. He’s already invoked the Enemy Aliens act against Venezuela. He’s going to have us in a shooting war in Central America by summer, against the “cartels”.

    Only the businesses whose business is weapons of war are informed.

    They can keep secrets.

    Musk and trump are two raging bullhorns in a China shop.

    Wouldn’t Musk’s businesses in China already be a conflict of interest, seeing how he’s working directly with the American government?

    Also, I love how trump wanting to keep things a secret are ruined by the fact that he just keeps talking and giving more and more information as he goes on 😂

    Of course, if he’s not the middle man for all of the information oligarchs use to further steal from us, then what purpose does he serve? Sorry Elon, you’re gonna have to continue paying fealty for the bathroom leaks.
