There it is. I knew there was a reason

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 108 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

I think boring company wasn't...

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Isn’t that the place where fElons go?

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

No, some of them become president.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 47 points 11 months ago

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

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago

This shit is so fucking Russian. Blatantly corrupt.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

So close that it has happened multiple times.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can see trials going on at Gitmo in a year

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 11 months ago
[-] comrade_frosty@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I hope he gets it live on TV

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 9 points 11 months ago
[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 11 months ago

He drives a Tesla so it's a real possibility

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

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 months ago

Surprising it took this long

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

(yeah right lol.)

[-] giacomo@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago
