I don’t think he’s going to run to Russia. The moment he does, he all of his US companies will be seized. So if he wants to go, he’s going to need to find a way to very quickly liquidate everything without the federal government noticing. But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He’s already too powerful for comfort, and it’s their job to spy on people like him.

Remember, Trump wanted this. Don’t blame Elon Musk when you should be blaming all of them together, and especially the president who had control.

Exactly. Reverse DNS lookup matters in some situations.

That’s true but it doesn’t solve the problem now.

I think what you mean to say is that we should be pressuring public officials to try to bust up Google’s monopoly on many things. And we are doing that, and it is showing some progress. But there is much more work to be done.

YouTube took down the video because of its own policies, not because of copyright law. So we should be blaming YouTube.

I think it’s easy to see exactly why if you consider how YouTube treats small content creators. If I post a video and companies claim copyright on it, the video gets demonetized and I might lose my account. I can respond and contest the claim and maybe I can win but I still lost money in the meantime, and perhaps more significantly, the companies that made their copyright claims will never face a consequence for attempting to burn my channel. In other words, if I get things wrong a few times I’ll lose my channel and my income source, but if they get things wrong a million times, they face zero consequence.

And you might be inclined to blame the media companies. But again, this is YouTube doing what YouTube wants to do of its own volition, and not something that’s required by law. If YouTube valued small-scale content creators and end users, it would create different policies.

Remember that they are both lying even now about almost everything. Narcissists don’t believe in some underlying reality, because they make up reality every second of their lives, so the fact that they’re feuding now doesn’t mean they actually had some kind of permanent fallout. You could say that they are acting at this exact moment just to deflect attention away from Trump and his big beautiful bill, but it doesn’t really matter because they’re narcissists, and everything they do is an act.

So, you shouldn’t cheer for either of them because they certainly are not genuine about anything and they definitely will never be on your side, ever.

That’s true but we know he’s lying and even though they say Musk is totally gone, Don’t believe it so quickly. He’s too rich, too powerful, and they want his money too much.

We know that they want to distance themselves from him in the newspapers, but we don’t know anything else.

He’s lying and everyone knows it. There’s no chance of them deporting Musk. They want to get a lot of money from a lot of billionaires and if they go in attack mode on those large-scale donors, no one is going to throw money at them anymore.

You can buy loyalty. Give someone a high paying 3-year contract and they’ll probably work to the end of it. But of course HR doesn’t want to hear that.
