Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Does no one else see that Musk is becoming a cliche´ bond villian?
He owns a company that facilitates worldwide communications thru satellites in Earth's controlled by him.
He owns a company that facilitates the movement of people where each one of his vehicles report back to him everything in and around it and exactly where it is in the world.
He owns a company that a good number of people worldwide use to communicate with each other the most mundane to confidential things. He rules it with an iron fist allowing comminications of those who wish to subjugate others and commit violence to flow free while censoring or banning those who wish for peace and understanding.
He owns a company focused on space travel, and whose goal is to colonize another planet but whose technology can also be sold to anyone with enough money to use as an airborne delivery system for weapons.
And let's be honest. Musk doesn't want to just colonize another planet, he wants to control it by controlling the means of getting there, how people travel, communicate, and live once there. Who is going to tell the King of Mars no? It's not like the gov'ts that stopped their own programs to give him money to do it instead can do anything.
