This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It's just pettiness and entitlement. He's going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I'm gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it's definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

tesla has been investigated, as well.. so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink.. old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be...

so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

Were they drilling tunnels for trains in California which never materialized?

parent

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

that was his scam, he was afraid of CALIFORNIA developing thier high speed rail way system, so he came up with the hyperloop scam so he can force california to abandon it, furthermore they tried again when trump was in power the 1st time, Elaine chao(lich mcconnels wife, blocked all funding for it)

Yeah, it's probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

That's what he'll target next, of course. These "geniuses" are so dumb and predictable.

So? Elon Musk illegally FIRING Government Employees investigating his businesses is NOTHING compared to HUNTER BIDEN getting a JOB in CHYNA!

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago (1 child)

This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses' questionable-at-best ethics.

Just wait until NASA issues another contract to SpaceX so they can blow up another $5 billion in taxpayer dollars

This shit is so fucking Russian. Blatantly corrupt.

With Russian shit you wouldn't hear of this, and the investigators wouldn't be very willing to do anything in the first place.

That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

Like a canary that's dying, that is.

Seems to me that the USA is quite close to having journalists / whistleblowers dying by suicide…

parent

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

So close that it has happened multiple times.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I don't even mean that, just the fact that there is some outrage, you are normally talking about it, and parts of the government actually act as they are supposed to.

Nope. No conflict of interest there at all. ..

This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago* (1 child)

musk shagged(surrogate) the head of the neuralink division in texas a and M and made her produce a child for him. he and the university performed unsanctioned experiments on MONKEYs causing them to suffer, and musk's response"they were going to die any ways".

when you are in a university performing research on animals, theres regulations and protocols to follow, they probably dint do that. this makes the university look bad for doing this.

Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.
