Meanwhile this bitch is ACTUALLY slaughtering people because of his greed
Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money.
“What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

In Trump's first term his golf activities cost the taxpayers $144 million.

i wanna be direct. Steve Bannon is an alumnus of Virginia Tech and this university should revoke his degree.
I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.
