  • is this moron going to start WW3

    Yes.

    because of Greenland?

    Because he wants to suspend elections. Remember, he openly said during his last election that if he's elected they won't have to vote anymore:

    Trump downplays talk of Elon Musk’s increasing influence in Republican politics
  • Actually, he is an illegal immigrant.

    The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

    Here's a link to an article talking about it: https://gizmodo.com/watch-elon-musk-talk-about-being-illegal-immigrant-1851376973

  • they think grifting people for money in the name of the Lord is perfectly fine.

    That pretty much sums up most organized religion.

  • Taking no other expenses out for running Sedera, that allows each member to only receive 2400 a year in reimbursement.

    That assumes everyone is filing claims. Insurance companies gamble on you not filing claims.

    > Context: > > > Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk. Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s got a bigger megaphone. And he’s got his own brand. I’m pretty sure there will eventually be a really big and really ugly falling out between the two of them. But it will take a while to get there and the costs are potentially quite large for both of them. > > > >Trump has sewn himself into a sack with Elon Musk, a few billion dollars, a cat and a snake, and had the sack tossed into the Tiber.
