Elon Musk begins trial over Tesla tweet that cost him $20m
JonnyF replied to Scott's topic in World News
Surely anyone investing in Tesla (or any of his companies) needs to take into account Musk's involvement and treat that as a significant risk. He shoots from the hip. It really is a case of "Shoot, Ready, Aim". I agree with the previous poster. Exposing the Twitter files was an act of virtue so significant that I am not too concerned about more minor transgressions. Not to mention re-installing a semblance of free speech to the platform. It's no wonder the Left hate him so much ????. -
The left were up in arms about the takeover long before any of the things you are alleging.

Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
JonnyF replied to Scott's topic in World News
The polt thickens. The irony/hypocrisy is thick on this one. Biden has some nerve. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64290971 As so often is the case with The Left, they are what they accuse you of being. -
I'm glad you asked. The narrative that all immigration is wonderful. Multiculturalism is wonderful. Globalism is wonderful. The nation state is an outdated racist idea. Meanwhile in reality the West (and in particular the UK) is importing all kinds of issues onto it's own shores. And all so white liberals can slap each others backs about their virtue at Champagne sipping dinner parties in Islington.

BREAKING: Britain WILL send Challenger Tanks to Ukraine !
JonnyF replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Hopefully EU nations do the same. Or maybe the unelected technocrats are still checking their tanks pass Euro5 emissions tests and have all the regulatory checks and import documentation in place to ensure the integrity of their single market? -
Treasury secretary warns US could default on its debt as soon as June

And there I was thinking I pay road tax, VAT, income tax etc. But it was all free all along. Who knew? Please advise where I can get this free healthcare you speak of. ???? Some people are clearly living in a parallel, socialist, communist Thailand where everything is free for foreigners. . -
Of course he did it for money. How else is he going to earn a living other than trashing his family? It's all he's got to offer. I mean, in these days of peak Woke there's not much money in playing naked billiards in Vegas and dressing up like a Nazi, is there? No No No. Much better to accuse your family of racism, use the publicity to launch a book and Netflix deal, collect awards for fighting said racism, then deny the racism actually existed. Meanwhile, mugs defend him ????

Of course, if there was anything on the scale of the recent EU scandal I would be horrified. But of course, UK citizens can directly vote for their MP's and those MP's have real power, unlike the members of the European Parliament who can't even pass laws. How many UK citizens directly voted for Eva Kaili as VP? Oh no no no, there are many layers in place between the electorate and the likes of Kaili. That's the way it's been designed. Give the appearance of democracy without actually allowing the voters much say in any of the senior positions that hold the real power. https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/12/13/the-eu-is-rotten-to-the-core/ https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/07/15/1-for-democracy-against-the-eu/

I am not fan of Musk. In fact I have criticized him many times on here. Nice straw man though. 7/10. However, IMO it is worth following your beliefs even if that costs you money, especially if you have 160 Billion. People with less conviction in their beliefs (and far less money) might be more willing to sacrifice their beliefs for a few measly dollars, as you have shown. I know which type of person I have more respect for.

Personally I find the EU's corruption to be disgraceful, and it is one of many reasons I am so glad that we won the Brexit referendum and left that failing, corrupt, federalist project. If I managed to get out of jail, I wouldn't really care that those left behind had no vision or motivation to do the same. If they're happy with it, more fool them.

I am sure you know the difference between the EU (a political union) and the member states. The corruption scandal is engulfing the EU. But if you want to look at corruption in member states, you could start with the likes of Hungary. Speaking of being hungry, the citizens of the EU are really up against it while Vice Presidents of the EU have vast swathes of cash hidden in suitcases. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/01/12/nearly-half-of-europeans-say-their-standards-of-living-have-already-declined-as-crises-mou

Non fiction?? ???? If these figures are correct (and that's a big IF), it would appear that selling your family down the river for 30 pieces of silver is quite profitable. You can't put a price on family, honesty and integrity though. On the bright side, at least he'll be able to pay his own security now without leaching off the British taxpayer. Given his claims about killing 25 Taliban fighters (removing chess pieces from the board) I hope he doesn't skimp on this, for the sake of his children that he has put in increased danger. He will also be able to pay for some extensive therapy, which he also appears to be in dire need of.
