If he cared about actually saving Americans money his contracts would be the first to go, as well as missile money for Israel which most Americans don't support. Speaking of which, being anti-Israel doesn't make you pro Hamas or anti-Semitic, despite what the Israeli government and most politicians would like you to believe. Universities are expelling students just for protesting it. NOT violently. That is censorship. You could say "they're a private organization they can do whatever they want". Yes, but then the same should be said for social media companies that censor the right. The key is understanding there are bad people on all sides, which is why the whole idea of sides is so stupid. The vast majority of politicians are corrupt and the vast majority of bills proposed by them are to give them profit in some way
I notice the word probably which is not a word to use when presenting facts and your assumption is wrong. Elon passed so much scrutiny to get his clearance for the systems he is in contractual servitude with the government.
There, to date, has been no conflict of interest ... this comes with a very easy proof standard and yet its not been met.
As for his contracts, you are aware most were negotiated during the left's presidency... right? Some go all the way back to 2002
The problem with a good entrepreneur if you are their opposition is they tend to make themselves more valuable by providing services others cant
or cant match in price negotiations.
Musk has done that very well. So well in fact to steal millions from our government would be silly considering he couldn't steal anywhere near the amount he stands to make legitimately off all his companies which are hard to compete with.
Musks weapon contracts were negotiated well before the Israeli conflict and do not specifically tie into it.
You are certainly for Israel or Hamas, the Palestinians voted Hamas into power and support Hamas ergo supporting Palenstine is supporting Hamas
I don't care, if I were Israeli and you killed my kids I would bomb you to obliteration if it was in my power. But I am crazy like that.
I certainly wouldn't be giving warnings of areas I would be hitting and I certainly wouldn't let aid in. You can get that when my children get it.
I don't keep up with Universities as each one will have a set of rules and codes of conduct and that's a waste of research.
You are more than welcome to research any such University make the claim that what they did was right or wrong case by case and Ill research to debate or confirm your allegations otherwise you can't clump the actions of universities into federal govt territory for accusations.
Online platforms receive federal protections concerning speech and posting of others' speech. Remove those protections and I will 100 percent agree they can act as they wish in censorship as they could be held liable for anything posted on the platform at that point.
As for corruption... of course its on both sides.... so you should be for any and all corruption pointed out by doge especially when it recovers funds or stops fraudulent funding
