Elon Musk Blasts Both Barrels, Reloads, and Fires Again

Elon Musk certainly knows how to grab you by the eyeballs and make you listen as he drops truth bombs on you. He may be the most interesting man in the world, although he doesn't have quite the dashing good looks and smooth demeanor of the Dos Equis man.

As an autist, he doesn't have the kind of slick charm and devilish demeanor of a Svengali who can charm you into anything. He has, instead, a keen intellect, an almost-charming bluntness, and an ability to see into dimensions of reality that are invisible to most of us.

Combine that with a willingness to say things that need to be said, even when they hurt, and Musk becomes the most important man in the world. He just might be the savior of Western Civilization.

He recently sat down with Zanny Minton Beddoes, the Editor of the British magazine The Economist, the Voice of The Establishment. And as The Establishment has become the "Enemy of the People," as Trump so directly and rightly says, The Economist is one of those oh-so-civilized voices of evil, along with The New York Times and the rest of Pravda.

In 90 Minutes, our WASPy interviewer tried again and again to box Musk in and establish that he is an agent of the "Far Right" proto-fascist political movement they so desperately want to imagine, and Musk threw it all right back in her face.

ABSOLUTE MIC DROP FROM ELON ON DOGE!!!!

 Elon Musk: "ZERO died because of DOGE. Zero point zero!" 

"When funding is stopped for a fraudulent organization, or for something do you think they're going to say,"Will you please keep funding the fraud!'

Or do you think they're going to come up with a sad story that sounds sympathetic in order to get the funding restored?

Obviously it will be the latter and that's exactly what they did!!!"

LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "The cuts certainly caused unnecessary suffering!"

Elon Musk: "No." 

LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "You don't buy that at all?!" 

Elon Musk: "It caused a lot of complaining!" 

LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "You don't believe any kid in Africa died because of the suddenness with which...

Elon Musk: Zero! How many NGOs could step in? There are literally tens of thousands of NGOs. The Gates Foundation has FIFTY BILLION! What about them? What about any number of organizations?!"

Rock Head will say anything to justify his hatred of the Jews.

Asking for a friend. Is being strongly opposed and repulsed by a transvestite grooming children considered transphobia?

How about strongly opposed with the way Islam treats women? Anti-Islam ?

So What Just Happened To Cause Brent Crude To Drop 3%

Krasnov threatening massive bombings? Iran has been getting "massively" bombed every night for a week or two. Why would more of the same cause lower Brent Crude prices?
...
Iran rejecting Krasnov's ceasefire request? After scores of such rejections, why would one more cause lower, not higher, Brent Crude prices? Non sequitur.
Ukraine blockading Russian oil tankers? Ukraine has been crippling Russian tankers for two or more years. Their most recent increase in attacks started a couple of weeks ago. Anachronism problem.
The Houthis setting Saudi oil tankers on fire? Why would this cause a decrease, not an increase, in oil prices? Non sequitur.
...

The Oil Markets are ****ing Kabuki Theater. Nah, the oil market is just more complex than your brain-surrogate can understand, and you're POed that the the oil market is not doing what you "think" it should.

BTW, this is not gab13by13's first tilt at the oil market windmill, https://conservativecave.com/cave/index.php?topic=138979.0 , for not making Trump look bad. :tongue:

They believe that America is the worst place and that every other country is better in every way but they still refuse to leave.  :banghead:

I would chip in with a plane ticket to the county of their choice just as long as they stay there

Has Maher's show crumbled into the dust of history yet due to OGBuzz's and DU's rejection?

Nope. Maher seems to have at least a little common sense, something lacking in the present day Democratic Party.

Ukraine Declares War on Wildberries (Really)

https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/07/24/ukraine-declares-war-on-wildberries-really-n4955403

Quote
Residents of St. Petersburg woke up Friday to find their Wildberries on fire, following a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia's largest online retailer. The Associated Press sold the attacks as "hurting small businesses and bringing the war home," but there's more to it than that.

Often called "the Russian Amazon," Wildberries has only grown in importance after four-plus years of war.

When I first read earlier this week that Kyiv had taken out two massive Wildberries facilities near Moscow, I assumed it was part of a wider campaign to bring the war home to typical Russians. But military analyst Chris O. called it "a huge disaster for the Russian economy" because Wildberries is "one of the most structurally important companies in the Russian economy."

In addition to the material losses to Wildberries customers and third-party sellers, the company also serves as a "key channel for dual-use material and non-lethal supplies for soldiers at the front – drones, spare parts, night vision equipment, boots, uniforms, generators, and so on."

Serhii Kuzan, chairman of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, told the BBC this week that Wildberries is “a vital component” of Russia’s military logistics system, and United24 noted that "disrupting its distribution infrastructure could affect the supply of critical dual-use goods to Russia’s defense sector."

Willingly or coerced, Widlberries is part of Russia's military logistics, and thus made itself a valid target for Ukraine. Maybe some Russian consumers and business people affected by the Wildberries attacks will understand that Putin did this to them by invading Ukraine. FAFO, drone style.

Secret Service suspends agent accused of leaking JD Vance’s travel details

https://nypost.com/2026/07/23/us-news/secret-service-suspends-agent-accused-of-leaking-jd-vances-travel-details/

Quote
WASHINGTON — A Secret Service agent suspected of leaking details about Vice President JD Vance’s travel has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

The unidentified agent is believed to have been a source for an MS Now story published last week that claimed Vance’s protective detail was frustrated with the second family’s habit of making last-minute travel arrangements and special requests.

“A member of the Vice Presidential Protective Division is the subject of an administrative investigation, and potential criminal inquiry, involving allegations of compromising operational and information security,” a Secret Service spokesperson told The Post Thiursday(sic).

The Secret Service has been self-beclowning.
