This was an enjoyable conversation. Thank you!

It's what happens when capital isn't properly taxed: The capitalists become more individually wealthy with more purchasing power and individually not bound by the rules an laws of the government that allowed them to become wealthy. And they make a move on the government, in order to purcahse and control it for themselves. Happens every time.

Stephen Fry is an intelligent man, with a unique insight when it comes to politics and the world in general! His views on Musk's involvement in Trump's campaign are interesting. I see Musk as a parasite...appearing in places where you don't expect him....next to Trump!

I studied Greek Mythology at High School, although I have to say that by the time I reached the Iliad I was becoming somewhat bored by it all. Forwards almost six decades and watching /listening to Mr. Fry and his comparisons to the 21st Century and the likes of social ? media and the explosion of hateful rhetoric and angry comments I agree. Pandora's Box (bottle) has been opened, the lid has been thrown away and the "monster/s" are amongst us. What a truly sad state of affairs we have created for our World.

Elon Musk is a rocket man and I am so angry that Jack-what's his name, Okay call him Bonehead" and he sold Musk Twitter which has since lost 80% of its value because Elon has found himself trapped in the world most people live in their heads but his wildest thoughts get beamed across the world and what do we see? Elon's private thoughts are now on view and here he is in American politics backing a man he would never hire in any of his companies and ruining his reputation and trouncing the American flag in the mud for all the world to see. Elon, if you are reading this, please re-consider selling "X" and getting out of American politics and back to focusing on getting us to mars and back safely.

[@Reddog1255]

Musk is like a spoiled child and so is Trump

[@lestermarshall6501]

Elon Musk has opinions, just like the politicians. He just gets more public exposure than most people. The USA is a free speech country so he, and anybody else, can anything they want. Free speech does not mean that they are free of the consequences of what they say. I don't agree with everything Musk says, but then that's just my opinion too.

[@AmbietsRato]

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. - Søren Kierkegaard. Freedom of speech without consequences may be an empty or misused right and a lie.

[@oreopoj]

Musk bought his way to algorithmically amplified free speech. That’s not free speech as it is for us lowly people like you and me.
