There it is. I knew there was a reason

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 108 points 1 month ago

This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It's just pettiness and entitlement. He's going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 85 points 1 month ago

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

[-] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 47 points 1 month ago

This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I'm gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it's definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 month ago

tesla has been investigated, as well.. so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink.. old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be...

so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I think boring company wasn't...

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Were they drilling tunnels for trains in California which never materialized?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

that was his scam, he was afraid of CALIFORNIA developing thier high speed rail way system, so he came up with the hyperloop scam so he can force california to abandon it, furthermore they tried again when trump was in power the 1st time, Elaine chao(lich mcconnels wife, blocked all funding for it)

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it's probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

space x being investigated for dumping illegally around the sites.

That's what he'll target next, of course. These "geniuses" are so dumb and predictable.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 73 points 1 month ago

So? Elon Musk illegally FIRING Government Employees investigating his businesses is NOTHING compared to HUNTER BIDEN getting a JOB in CHYNA!

Isn’t that the place where fElons go?

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

No, some of them become president.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Too easy for the rich to get out. Bring out the guillotines.

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 47 points 1 month ago

That is the main reason of Dodges existence, what did you think would happen?

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

This shit is so fucking Russian. Blatantly corrupt.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

With Russian shit you wouldn't hear of this, and the investigators wouldn't be very willing to do anything in the first place.

That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

Like a canary that's dying, that is.

[-] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Seems to me that the USA is quite close to having journalists / whistleblowers dying by suicide…

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

So close that it has happened multiple times.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I don't even mean that, just the fact that there is some outrage, you are normally talking about it, and parts of the government actually act as they are supposed to.

[-] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Hmmm that's the 20th canary that's violently exploded this week...

conservative communities wont comment on this. They love massive conflict of interests. clowns.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

because fox, right wing sources and russia will direct them to rage about culture wars instead, conservatives are not bright when it comes to thing like class warfare, luigi momentarily broke them out of thier "echo chambers". i onced followed a asian yotbers who was known right wing, but wasnt in your face pre-pandemic, everyone was cringed that his information is very outdated and dint know what to talk about when regard to policies.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 month ago

This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

musk shagged(surrogate) the head of the neuralink division in texas a and M and made her produce a child for him. he and the university performed unsanctioned experiments on MONKEYs causing them to suffer, and musk's response"they were going to die any ways".

when you are in a university performing research on animals, theres regulations and protocols to follow, they probably dint do that. this makes the university look bad for doing this.

[-] amon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I can see trials going on at Gitmo in a year

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 month ago
[-] comrade_frosty@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I hope he gets it live on TV

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 month ago
[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago

He drives a Tesla so it's a real possibility

Nope. No conflict of interest there at all. ..

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses' questionable-at-best ethics.

[-] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Just wait until NASA issues another contract to SpaceX so they can blow up another $5 billion in taxpayer dollars

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

I think that this company needs to be burned to the ground.

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.

[-] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 month ago

Awwww, how convenient. An illegal immigrant doesn't want to be investigated.

[-] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 month ago

Seems like "drain the swamp" turned into "put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest"

Surprising it took this long

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We gotta get the dems back in power so they can prosecute elmo!!!

(yeah right lol.)

[-] giacomo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago
