BREAKING: MAGA billionaire Elon Musk picks a fight with a respected commander of the International Space Station and calls him "retarded" after he exposed Musk for a bold-faced lie.
This is who Trump has entrusted with running our government...
It all started when Andreas Mogensen, the Danish astronaut in question, reacted to a clip on X of Musk telling Fox News propagandist Sean Hannity that he plans to "rescue" two astronauts who were "left up there" in space "for political reasons."
Mogensen shared the clip and wrote: "What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media."
Musk quickly reacted to the tweet, lashing out with the sort of childish insults that we have come to expect from the allegedly ketamine-addicted oligarch—
"You are fully retarded," wrote Musk. "SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot."
As usual Musk provided no evidence for his inflammatory claims. Mogensen then responded with the grace and articulation that Musk seems pathologically incapable of—
"Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla," wrote the astronaut. "You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home. They are returning on the Dragon capsule that has been on ISS since last September."
Tellingly, Musk didn't respond to the potent rebuttal. Instead, he responded to another post from Dr. Phil Metzger — Director of Stephen W. Hawking Center for Microgravity Research & Education — remarking on the hostile exchange.
In it, Musk smeared Mogensen as a "so-called 'Commander'" who "doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground."
"Dude has no clue what’s really going on. He’s a passenger," Musk added.
That's all Elon has: insults and rage.
It's also worth noting that shortly after the feud broke out, the billionaire tweeted out a call for the "deorbiting" of the International Space Station because "it has served its purpose" and "there is very little incremental utility."
It's difficult to interpret the outburst as anything other than attempt at exacting revenge on Mogensen for publicly embarrassing him.
Elon is a petty, vindictive man with zero impulse control. The fact that he is now running roughshod over our government, gutting crucial programs, and lining his pockets with our tax dollars is an utter disgrace.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Elon Musk should be banished from our political landscape for good — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@webuyanycar Having been promised and paid for next day payment, still no payment 48 hours later and no word from anyone what is going on, might log the car as stolen...
Richard Madeley claims that every single phone call he recieved was in support of Suella Braverman’s plan to leave the ECHR.
If he is a liar, Like.
If he needs to be kicked off TV, RT.
2018: Richard Tice, "George Soros doesn't live here, he doesn't pay taxes here, what right has he got to interfere with our democracy with donations?"
2024: Richard Tice, "If Elon Musk can legally donate and he feels that's the appropriate thing to do, we'd be delighted"

When our water was privatised in 1991 the industry was debt free. Since then the private water companies have paid over £57bn to shareholders while building up huge debts.
The fact that this Labour govt is leaving the ownership structure unchanged should tell us something.
A rainy country where we have water shortages because of disinvestment, exorbitant bills and literally cr*p in our waterways.
The private sector is not fit to run our water network.
The companies should be renationalised.

Absolutely disgraceful that Ofwat is allowing Thames Water to raise bills by 33%
Asset stripping
Sewage dumping
Demanding a bailout
Time to WITHDRAW THAMES WATER'S LICENCE and bring it into public ownership
Not make households pay
