How is Defusing tensions a bad thing?

I find both Trump and Musk to be obnoxious and simple --------.

That said. How is Defusing tensions with Iran a bad thing?

Let it play out.

There's a lot more selling out of American interests going on than defusing.

How is Defusing tensions a bad thing?

By a private citizen? With no government authority? When Joe Biden is president?

I can see some potential issues there.

Rwingers and some other low info voters voted for a Corporate Takeover of America, and now they have it.

Big Oil running the Energy Dept, richest man in the world with multiple conflicts of economic interests is going to Vet the Gov, and a child diddler will be the Attorney Gen of the United States.

Corporate Personhood is Now Extended to include Corporate Governance of the People's government, despite their economic interests in the governance of the People's country.

Wow, Elon has quickly turned Trump into a president-in-name-only cuck. What do the DR MAGA folks think about Trump being in second place? Bet he get Ivana and Ivanka pregnant soon.

Excuse me, I meant Melenia, but I guess she is past child bearing age, so just Trump's daughter then.

@#7 ... Wow, Elon has quickly turned Trump into a president-in-name-only ...

That seems to be the case.

Mr Musk's comments seem to outweigh those of Pres-elect Trump.

My question, at this point is ... when will Pres-elect trump tire of Mr Musk's attention grab?

Stated from a different angle, when will Mr Musk leave Mar-A-Lago?
