(#5004) elon musk is a dangerous supporter of putin

      So musk says that Russia can wipe out the US and Europe in 30 minutes if it wanted to. Well that kind of idiocy is what makes for fearmongering. There is no way in hell Russia can harm both the US and Europe without first being annihilated itself. So all musk is doing is being a dishonest spokesperson for putin. The damage a person like musk can create in the public market is immeasurable. He is like trump in that respect because there are always those who will believe anything he says. Both are a canker sore on the ass of our democracy and for our ass to heal the canker sores must be treated.
     Not only should musk be censored for his disloyalty to democracy but he must be made to pay where it will hurt him most, in his wallet. To make false statements in order to receive a benefit must be tried in court where real harm from his words can be adjudicated. He is "prime" now for damages to our society by what is essentially yelling fire in a crowded theater. People like him and trump who are conmen who only have their own interests at heart can easily be seen through when what they are supporting weakens our democracy instead of strengthening it. Same with putin, a despot who would destroy Ukrainian sovereignty and it's fledgling democracy for his own personal gain.
     Regardless of the absurdity of musk's comments, no change of tactic will come about. Ukraine will continue to push Russia back to it's borders and the west will continue to help them. putin and musk can lie as they will but we in the civilized world of law and order must act to make them pay for their choice. Like we are doing with trump, a process for finding guilt and then a process for sentencing must endure the obfuscation and deliberate denial of their proven acts. musk is now a straw man for putin and any attempt by him to play both sides must be met with the back of our democratic hand.
