Chechen warlord invites Musk to Russia after he's filmed driving machine-gun mounted Cybertruck

ABC|3 hours ago
Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov has invited Tesla CEO Elon Musk to Russia after being filmed behind the wheel of one of the company's Cybertrucks mounted with a machine gun ...

Looks like Musk's been violating the sanctions. Or is he sabotaging them?

This Kadyrov is an idiot. It's over 630 miles from Grozny to Donetsk in the heart of Donbas. I wonder how many superchargers there are along the way. My money’s on that breaking down or getting stuck long before it gets near a frontline.

Actually ... My money’s on it never even trying to get to a front line. Much like the dude in the video with the Satanic beard and the fashionable ammo-belt vest. It’s all for show. The Cybertruck will spend its time cruising around Grozny attracting the loose women of the street who usually come out at night in search of rubes and their rubles.

Russia imports a lot of Western products through 3rd parties. For example Apple Products are sold in Russia still despite Apple not selling products in Russia since 2022. Someone buys the products in a unsanctioned country and them imports it into Russia and sells in Russia with a big markup. Would love to know the circuitous route that was taken by this Cybertruck to get into Russia. Good luck getting service because it isn't if but when the Cybertruck will break down. As far as Tesla Superchargers in Russia, there are none.

I am not surprised. Not having much sympathy for the banks that underwrote this S%@tshow.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis

This sounds more like a bunch of banks handed Elon their financial dicks, Elon slammed them all in a car door, and now the banks can’t do much about it because Elon still has their financial dicks slammed in his car door.

Elon: slams his financial dick in the car door. (Or a self-closing hood of a cyber truck.)

Elons fans: masterful gambit, sir.

I’m sure the banks are thrilled at his desire to join Trump’s cabinet instead of leading X to a positive financial outcome. It seems that turning any kind of positive revenue flow capable of making loan repayments may come down to getting Musk the hell out of the day-to-day operations of Twitter.

If you want to understand just how badly Elon is firing on all cylinders all you have to do is contemplate this: The reason why Elon thought the 2 hour disastrous "talk" with Trump on Twitter was a good idea was that "it would be a good idea to showcase what Trump is like in a regular conversation" - the very same line of reasoning, with the opposite outcome, that someone like Rogan wont have him on.
Imagine the thought process of someone thinking they will pull the curtain and expose Trump as the regular good guy for the world to see? It has to be the mind of someone with a warped/distorted perception of reality. Elon is just not all there. He is not.

I think he's all there as much as someone in his position can be. The answer here is simple - he wants Trump to win because Trump will line his pockets and give him special power and access. There's nothing more to it than that.

True, but if you understand that Trump is a rambling moron, you'd chose another vector to increase his odds than let him speak unfiltered into a mic for 2 hours to million of listeners.

Elon does not seem to understand that Trump is a babbling baboon. And that says a shit ton about Elon himself.

That I very much agree with. Elon is...not a smart person.

It is entirely obvious to anyone with a brain that the more the country sees from Trump the less they like him and if there's one thing that is NOT a problem for Trump it's that he's underexposed. So yeah, hosting an event where he gets to dementedly ramble for several hours would likely achieve the opposite result of what's intended.

United States ban of X if it doesn’t jettison foreign owners followed by Musk relocating to Saudi Arabia to “protect free speech” in 3 … 2 …. 1.
