Some conservatives have overestimated SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s value for promising to bring free speech back to Twitter. He’s far from their friend or ally.
First, he took billions worth of government subsidies, supported disastrous climate change policies, and began funding out-of-state abortion funding through Tesla.. Now, in light of the horrific shootings in Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Texas, Mr. Musk wants the government to, "at a minimum," require a special permit for assault rifle ownership or "any semi-automatic gun with supersonic ammo and a large magazine."
Yes, Elon's advocating that Big Brother violate every Americans' Second Amendment right, which the Constitution says "shall not be infringed" upon. But in the modern age, when constitutional arguments always seem to amount to losing ones, that's not a big deal. Elon knows this, hence why he used caricature-like imagery — "supersonic ammo" and "large magazines" — to try and win the gun debate by stroking fear. In the decades I've worked at Gun Owners of America, I've seen far too many liberal politicians and woke corporations pull this same pseudo- "rationalist" approach to gun control. "We don't want to take everyone's guns," they say, "just the bad guys'!"

People who are not raised as Americans know little about the 2nd Amendment, and some who are don’t either.
Yeah, my thoughts too. Born and raised here, a lot of folks get it. Others want to be like the “euro’peon’” cousins. Not sure where the “take care of me my entire life” mind set comes from.
Define the government subsidies you think Elon got-—
He did get LOANS-—which he paid in TOTAl-—EARLY—with ALL the interest owed.
If anyone buys an EV, the FEDS allow $12,500 tax write off for Ford/GM/other brands.
ONLY allows $7500 if you buy a TESLA.
OUTRIGHT discrimination, IMO.
SO——CLARIFY the “SUBSIDIES” you think Elon gets.
A hit piece full of half truths. Elon more then paid off the government hundreds of times over, and continues paying billions every year in taxes. He has moved technology forward more then any living human. He has done more for humanity then any of the other billionaires, with the exception of Trump.
Oh, good Elon’s getting on this. Ok, here’s what we’re gonna do.
Step 1, and Elon, this is yours since you’re the idea man. You’re going to make bad guys start following laws. Once you have done that, on to step 2.
Step 2. Now that you have done that Elon, we can talk about new laws.
"You'll blow a lung out, kid."
Given what has happened to his homeland (South Africa), one would think he would understand the value of guns.
Why do ignorant conservatives believe that Musk is an ally?
Based on what?
Newsflash: He wants to implant a chip in everybody’s brain and would love to control what you can and can’t buy. He’s said it multiple times (google it).
The dude is just as dangerous as Gates/Harari/Soros. They all worship the same ‘god’.
Sarcazmo, you are right. Let’s fix the wolves before we try to fleece the sheep.
Yeah. I like Musk but I take a wait and see attitude. This I don’t like.
He’s a competitor with “Gates/Harari/Soros.” So yeah, birds-of-a-feather transhumanist global player.
Set aside for a moment that a “large magazine” is one that holds more than one case of 5.56 ammunition - usually 1,000 rounds.
Does the man understand that by moving people towards subsonic rounds that can be suppressed, he is encouraging “gangster” guns?
He'll achieve it.
Oh yeah, I forgot about his brain chips.
Things are getting scary.
Elon’s waking up to what White liberal ‘elites’ will do to him if he strays off the plantation.
None of us got free of them with the first awareness and Elon won’t either. But once you start seeing what democrats really are - you’ll see other things even worse.
Give Elon time... And Maher... and many others. The red pill takes more time with some than others.
I suspect some really great guns could be made using Tesla car parts.
The leftists should realize we have the ability and skill to make our enslavement/replacement an unpleasant experience for our would-be masters.
Our schools are apparently not teaching the meaning of the word ‘infringe’.
At about $15,000 tuition a year[about what school districts spend per pupil], a group of five kids could have a tutor getting about $75,000/year.
“Muskets of the 16th–19th centuries were accurate enough to hit a target of 50 centimetres in diameter at a distance of 100 metres. At the same distance, musket bullets could penetrate a steel bib about 4 millimetres thick, or a wooden shield about 130 millimetres thick. The maximum range of the bullet was 1100 metres. The speed of the bullets was between 450 and 540 m/s”

Bullets were often supersonic even back then.
