He has a small team installing invisible parasites that transferred directly into untraceable coins like Monero. That's why he has a cloyd computing guy (Tom Krause) and a software engineer (Marko Elez) working closest to the system.
It's a heist because he's desperate to be the world's first trillionaire and take over everything... And he'll do it too. Mark my words, he'll be a trillionaire some time within four years.
(And it looks like Reddit is nkw compromised too)
First trillionaire should be dipped in gold and put on display as a warning.
Spez has been fasc-adjacent for a long time, so no surprise there.
Who cares about conspiracy theorists. Someone do something about it
Its up to us. Bring the nation to a grinding halt.
I'm German so I can't do much
You can stop buying American products and services. As a US citizen, I think the rest of the planet needs to boycott our shit.
I know it will hurt me and other US citizens. That's not really the point anymore. We will get hurt anyway. One of the few ways to undermine what they're trying to do is to hit them in the pocketbook and stop giving them money.
So, what you can do is purchase with your conscience in knowing that supporting the US is supporting a despotic regime.
That's all you can really do, and considering how much of an aberrant bully the US has been, I can't really ask for help beyond that.
Boycott is the weakest form of protest, I say that as a vegan
For sure, but it's well within reach of people outside of the US without having to ask more of them. They have their own problems, and a lot of those problems they have historically have been made worse by US meddling. I don't expect people from the rest of the world to come running to save the US, I think the world learned that lesson after 9/11 when we threw away the good will of the wider world to become Team America World Police.
That's why, despite it not being a strong form of protest, it's all I feel comfortable asking of people from elsewhere in the world in stopping what is happening here.
Well I won't boycott US products. Also your wording is kinda weird, ask of me whatever you want. I'm only going to do it if I think it's useful, you're just someone on the internet
"someone do something about it"
Gets told a way they do something, however small, even as a non citizen
"nah I won't do that."
Wild to watch unfold.
When that person wrote "something" they obviously meant something useful.
I don't think it's wild to not want to boycott a whole countries products. Very impractical and won't change much.
Now we know who's been helping Russia spread their bullshit propaganda all over social networks for the last decade.
What's crazy is that we call them social networks without batting an eye... But don't hold them to the same standards of a broadcast network, which would have prevented a lot of the shit show we're in
Propaganda networks FYI.
Instead of echo chambering shitty journalism sites like commondreams, rawstory, new republic, etc, locations that feed you the headlines you want to hear or validate confirmation bias searching, and turning into Reddit, talk to people.
It’s a blind faith thing. They believe. The MAGA ethos of Trump encompasses Elon Musk. It’s like Jupiter’s magnetic field extending its protection to its moons. The MAGAs are making excuses for Elon just like they do for Trump.
The main argument: he’s not doing it for money, he’s already rich.
When you ask why is Elon doing it then, the answers get sycophantic and delve into the straight, benevolent love of America. (I know, lol.)
Remember, politics relies on drive by ideas that can be contained in a single, simple sentence, not essays. Essay readers are in the minority. Article readers beyond headlines are a minority. You have to have a punchy counter argument that fits a sentence as easily as the “he’s already rich, it’s love of America” or you’ll lose that debate.

Mmmm . . “He’s an unelected fascist who should be launched into the fiery heart of the sun.” ?
If they're going to use a thumbnail of Elon Musk, the Nazi, they used the wrong one.
It's later in the article. Yeah they could have put it up top.
America on sale now!!! 75% off!!!! This offer won't last!!!! Sale! Sale! Sale!
[Billionaire shoppers haggling for a better deal at the counter]
OK, OK, you can have it at 80% ... no 90% off!!!!! Today only!!!!
Conspiracy theorists don't care that there's a conspiracy. They only care whether they're in on it.
