Musk to meet Netanyahu

It's an exciting time to be Elon Musk!

His self-driving car's auto-pilot seems to have killed someone back in 2019; and the judge in the resulting case



So perhaps the self-driving Tesla will become a weapon of choice for mob hit men? Or maybe it it still to early to tell?

Meanwhile, his latest rocket blew up after launch, although the company prefers to call this "rapid unscheduled disassembly." Perhaps ladies who can't snuff their unwanted hubbies by putting them in a self-driving Tesla should consider buying those guys a seat on one of the Mars runs.

In case deadly cars and self-disassembling rockets aren't enough, Elon has decided to push an old favorite of psychopathic mass murderers -- antisemitism: he reposted a claim that Jewish people pushed "dialectical hatred against whites" and then attacked the Anti-Defamation League. After Media Matters exposed the white nationalism tendencies of X, Musk sued. Meanwhile, X seems to be bursting in flames like his deathcar and rockets.

So now Musk is headed to Israel to meet Bibi! A word to the wise for Bibi: be careful; you may not want to ride in Elon's cars or rockets. Musk portrays this as a revenue-sharing proposal

7. I must admit the possibility that antisemite (who's worried about the economic viability

of his social media platform, who seems to profit from antisemitism on that platform, and is currently trying to persuade both Israelis and Palestinians that he can shovel some cash from the platform to both of them) is motivated by the hopes of brokering a peace deal -- or even has any chance of brokering a peace deal through Bibi -- does not strike me as deserving much careful thought

Nobody even recommended it.

You've added a more humorous spin. I hope this post gains traction.

He's apparently going to the Gaza border. What could go wrong!

I don‘t see what else they‘ll have to talk about, and even Musk‘s money can‘t that happen all by itself.

they are both "friends" of pootin. I think it's more an info sharing event since both have the levers of power over two of the most sophisticated monitoring systems around the planet and neither are really "friends" of the US.

What could go wrong?

14. Why is Bibi meeting with an anti-Semitic and foreign plutocrat?

We lived in some truly screwed up times. Elon has no business poking his nose into foreign affairs and meeting with world leaders. It’s no different than someone like me meeting with Netanyahu.

Though he probably has an ample supply of Vitamin K. Maybe he can microdose his way to peace.
