A real genius in destroying American democracy? Well, yes, he is not wrong there...
Maybe he was being sarcastic.
Haha it so seems to me like Putin throwing oil on the fire of our internal conflicts because he can
Is this the trick? Even though most of us figured out he's no genius years ago, the rich and powerful are still believing his bullshit?
In this case it's flattery because he knows our oligarchs are narcissists.
In my line of work, we call it "ass kissin."
“Elon Musk is a really useful idiot”, Putin says
There, FTFY
Not a fix, more accurate translation.
Yeah, I bet he doesn't really believe Elon is a genius. He knows Elon is a narcissist for sure though.
We should send Trump and Elon to the Russian front lines, where they belong. Traitors to the West!
He must be really happy that he barely needs spies and covert influence anymore, he can just stroke some egos and things fall into his lap
Capitalism rewards the mental illnesses of psychopathy, narcissism, megalomania, greed, and sadism with wealth and power...
All an adversary like Putin needed to do was target this class of criminal parasites who were more than happy to do the devils bidding; they were doing it all along.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk and co are so stupid it really hurts. Badly.
Sounds like Musk has promised to rug-pull the Ukrainians again.
Elon took another step toward having an accident with a window.
I wasn't expecting to laugh at this time of the day.
"We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk."
Hollywood's movies from the XX century and the rhetoric at the time didn't age well. Now they are partners, the MAGA movement is doing wonders to the united states.
I hate headlines like this. You don't need a euphemism (like SpaceX boss) any time you need to refer to a person for a second time.
Are journalists that afraid of using pronouns?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
