Remember when Bezos got exposed with the leaked texts and the infamous pic tied to MBS? That mess hinted at how deep kompromat runs among the elite. Power games built on blackmail, secrets, and leverage.
Then Elon randomly accusing that cave diver of being a pedo—no proof, just ego and impulse. That wasn’t just reckless, it exposed a rotten core. These billionaires aren’t just flawed. Some of them are deeply corrupted, masking decay behind fame and fortune.
Everything musk says is more or less a lie. He said he didn’t give a nazi salute. Of course he did.
Our politics are a lot like Russia. They provide the most ridiculous counter argument that is absurd and then end the discussion. Or they blame or accuse others of doing Exsctlt what they’re doing. I think they were during nuclear blackmail many times when they’re the only country threatening everyone with nukes. Crap like that.
You just can’t get that rich without being a metaphorical cannibal. It’s like people forget that usury, a cornerstone of our entire financial system, is and remains a sin, and Jesus didn’t say they’d have it almost impossible to enter Heaven for no reason. He wasn’t talking about doctors and engineers there, he wasn’t flipping their tables…
It’s kind of amazing that some aspect of Christian identity was tied for centuries to the opposition of loans/interests/usury, and that’s just vanished. The Christian Dominionists who want to create a fascist theocratic ethnostate just don’t read the parts about debt jubilees every 7 years, or leaving part of your field unharvested for the widows and orphans; while they salivate over all of the stoning passages.
Just as amazing is the amount of apologia around the camel and the eye of the needle. There’s pseudo historical arguments that “eye of the needle” is a contrived way to describe a gate, or the one I saw here was “all things are possible through god, so the point is that god is powerful enough to save rich people.”
Christ was pretty clear, but people like money. Mammon is an easier god to serve than the one that asks you to pick up your cross and follow him.

I seem to remember Musk’s defence on the paedo thing being that in South Africa, it’s not meant to be taken literally and it’s just a generic insult.
So if a bunch of South Africans started calling Musk paedo-guy on Twitter and elsewhere, it’s just bants and not defamation, right?

Surprised he didn’t use that as a defense for the Nazi salute, considering that he was named after a character in a Von Braun novel.
“I grew up in a community of violent racists mad about the end of apartheid. I couldn’t have known any better.”
