        So true. Not enough people realize how much power and experience weilding that power that Putin has over oligarchs. Putin is the man behind these “men.”

        Putin controls a lot of things but he doesn’t own ole Musky. That’s a uniquely special brand of evil and crazy.

          I distinctively remember Musk going from bragging about offering Starlink to Ukrainian troops for free to limiting Starlink’s reach for Ukrainians and demanding for someone to pay for Ukraine’s usage of the network just days after having a private phone conversation with Putin. He went far more publically crazy and anti- Ukraine on X after that too.

        I mean, do they both want to play the evil game along a stray dog raised in the Kgb?

        Whats fun with narcissist people is they’ve no clue about opponents skills, since they can’t see over they’re own ones.

    The article’s title does not match the content. I read it and it does not talk about how Musk controls Trump. It talks about retaliation for those organizing protests against Tesla.

      Yeah, you really have to read the literal and between the lines understand where the author is coming from.

      “Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”

      Author is tying his tweets, this desperate interviews to the administration’s actions to get actual people charged with hate crimes for properly damage not to mention getting his shitty AG to prosecute property damage as domestic terrorism.

      Right or wrong, I do see what the author was trying to get at.

      Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.

        The title of the post matches the title of the article, this isn’t a case of a poster editorializing.

        The post title is an exact and faithful copy of the linked article, though. There’s no editorializing here.

          That’s one of my points. They could have changed the title of the Lemmy post (like what is done MOST of the time around here) to not match the subject of the article but instead be accurate for us Lemmy readers, and not just duplicate the same/wrong title. The “editorializing” in this case is the NOT correcting of the title in the Lemmy post.

          So either the person who posted here on Lemmy didn’t read the article they posted about, or they decided to purposely carry forward the invalid title from the article, after having read the article. (Or, this is just an astroturfing article and we are all wasting our time commenting here.)

            Snowflake, if you don’t like the article headline the author used, downvote and move on and email the author. Cripes, not everything is about you sweetheart.

        I don’t think he is talking about the title of the post on Lemmy but the title of the Yahoo article. Your point about people on Lemmy changing the title is not how things look.

        “Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.”

        That has no barring on how Yahoo named their title.

    Because he hacked the election machines and used Twitter to push spam.

    He owns Trump and atrump knows it; otherwise he’d be staring down the barrel of a few dozen felonies.

    Someone needs to convince dear leader that that the enemies are in his own house!

    “What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it. It’s really unfortunate,” Musk continued, claiming that the “real problem” isn’t the “crazy guy” who attacks his vehicles but rather the people that push the “propaganda” that encourages him to do it.

    Four top officers at the company have unloaded more than $100 million in stock since last month, reported ABC News. They include James Murdoch, the estranged son of right-wing media magnate Rupert Murdoch, and Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk, who shed $27 million, according to a Security and Exchange Control filing.

    Go after them Elon! They must be the problem - they’re the only ones with the money!

    “Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”

    “The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda? We’re going after them,” Musk said, casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun.

    IDK it feels mostly pathetic pleading to shareholders that he will be able to get the situation under control, and the line will go back up. It’s pathetic is what it is.

        “political hate speech.”

        I worry that we will see the rise of that phrase in future months as it’s used against citizens who are pro-democracy.

        Not to be pedantic, and to be fair, but it is political speech. It’s definately not complaining about customer service or warranties.
