"Especially for Musk"

Oh, yes.

I hope Musk hears South Africa calling him (and his mother) home!

I don't think post-Apartheid South Africa wants him back. His father was a supporter of the old Apartheid regime, and profited by it.

I am not surprised. That explains a lot about him and his support for the Orange Menace.

He is a US citizen now. Doesn't need to leave, unfortunately.

It weird. He could have been a hero. God knows he needs no more money. Yet he feels the compulsion to treat people like crap, like the election workers he recently employed. He could not be bothered to do it right, or even legally, and he thinks he's so rich and special that it's never going to bite him.

Yep, that's why I am never buying a Tesla. Sigh...

Wow, the vet gave my cat that and she was deaf from then on. And she was one that had WYA on her chart. I said what’s that? Watch Your Ass, the reply. She loved to cause chaos. Seems similar somehow. She didn’t have unlimited power, but Lordy, everybody did WYA. We should too…

You should see what it does to horses, when overused!

All animals are at the mercy of KINDNESS AND THE MOST VICIOUS GREED AND CRUELTY. Cruelty to animals sends me around the bend. Helpless and loving with a smidge of provocation. Treasures to us all. Some to be avoided at all costs but never as cruel as nature herself is.

A man of kindness, to his beast is kind.

But, brutal actions, show a brutal mind:

So true, often first sign of behavioral problems in kids. Heard more stories as counselor in public school than I can bear sometimes.

Is nature cruel? We'd have to show intention and consciousness to say that. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and wildfires have no intention - they just are.

You are right, but my cats seems to have intention sometimes.

Oh, animals certainly have intentions! Cats are incredible.

Absolutely! Imagine what he COULD do for the greater good of mankind with all that money!

And just a thought that ran through my head last night, when I heard the news that his "lottery" could continue: he is wealthy enough that he could buy the vote of every voter in the US. What is to stop someone like him from doing so? Would those who would enforce election laws turn away money to themselves and all in their family?

We should try exiling our traitors since we don’t seem able to hang them.

Expand full comment

Yeah, sorry, I don't believe in capital punishment of ANYONE, murderers, rapists, traitors. Exile seems like a sensible idea, though :-).

Nor do I, but would love to see him poor with no rich friends, no make up, no hair and plenty of mirrors

Indeed, and unlike Trump, Vance and Musk, Democrats aren't threatening to deport naturalised US citizens that don't fit in their view of the USA.

I honestly don't think Trump Has threatened to deport US citizens intentionally. But he had said that if people get caught up in the deportation of illegal immigrants, they should make sure they have their papers available. It's an implied threat. He's happy to deport a few legal residents or citizens. No skin off his back. Sigh...

Yes. And in fact, certain categories of naturalised Americans he’d be happy to see the back of. He’ll certainly not apply any duty of care towards them.
