Elon? Is that you? N/T Jm7603 Apr 2022 #1

Or his mom. cbabe Apr 2022 #2

Farhad Manjoo... brooklynite Apr 2022 #5

Truth matters not. Musk is wealthy, odd, autistic, Ghislaine Maxwell photobombed him at a Vanity Aff Hoyt Apr 2022 #3

It's not based on nothing. No concern for employees Jm7603 Apr 2022 #11

Mostly BS. Hoyt Apr 2022 #12

Well thought out answer. Jm7603 Apr 2022 #15

As was your post. Not a citation to support anything. Hoyt Apr 2022 #19

As of yesterday there was no accounting of that money. CrackityJones75 Apr 2022 #54

He doesn't owe you an explosion. It'll do good. Hoyt Apr 2022 #57

Obama talked to him, doubt he liked him Spider Jerusalem Apr 2022 #101

Musk maxed out his contributions to Obama. That's a fact. Hoyt Apr 2022 #102

So? He gave almost 10x more to the Republican Congressional Committee in the same cycle. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2022 #104

The data is not "10X." Hoyt Apr 2022 #114

Yes, it is. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2022 #115
