Is Tesla gonna become a Defense company?

Musk already admitted to being involved in one Coup https://www.telesurenglish.net/amp/news/elon-musk-confesses-...

He made an insensitive joke tweet when people were accusing him of getting lithium from Bolivia. Last I checked, Tesla denied sourcing any lithium from Bolivia, and no external investigators have managed to show a connection.

He deleted the tweet as soon as his ambien/amphetamine cocktail (or whatever tf he's been on lately) wore off.

Ah, so this timeless classic will trully be timeless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8hEtI9AI0U

They are out in the open enriching uranium to 84% with a breakout time to a weapon measured in weeks now, how many reasons do you need really?

By your logic, shouldn't countries that already have a nuclear arsenal be bombed first?

What is the part that sickens you?

Do people really have to say that jokes about war which inevitably lead to the death of many in order to have bigger and better phone batteries at a reduced cost is sickening?

Humor is one way of dealing with things we can't control, my guess is that most of those commenters would love to not go to wars every few years. We don't exactly have co from over what the government t does whether we like to believe it or not

Maybe they wouldn’t have done it had the US not bailed out on the Iran nuclear deal.

You of course are referring to the deal that had the US air freight $400m in the middle of the night to close the deal, only for the Iranians to completely ignore the deal anyway?

Odd that this is downvoted. The comment is true: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/03/politics/us-sends-plane-i...

Crazy that many of the same people condemning Russia invading Ukraine for "security". Would want to invade countries on the other side of the globe for "security". Super powers gonna super power and the rest of have to pretend to care.

There is a difference between unprovoked act of aggression against non-nuclear country for the sole crime of not wanting to associate with you and a literal theist dictatorship working on nuclear weapons who are open how exactly they plan to utilise them.

>"who are open how exactly they plan to utilise them"

Any sources on how? Have they declared that they will attack another country with nuclear weapons? Or it is simply them suddenly becoming immune from invasions / attacks?

You can't fix the problem by not talking about it. It wasn't an unfortunate natural disaster.

A strong argument for the existence of a diety is hilarious-if-true outcomes like the Ayatollah getting to have both oil & lithium to remain fully hedged through the EV transition. Too improbable for a fictional movie, but here we are. Life, as always, is stranger than fiction.

So this "diety" is helping the Iranian government but not the people?

So? Its a perfectly rational course of action, no nuclear armed nation has ever been invaded and subjugated. If i ran a country building or acquiring a nuke would be top of my "To-do" list.

The fewer theocratic dictatorships with nukes the better. Its not that "Iran" as a construct having nukes is bad, its that the decisions to launch them lie with a few religious zealots who are known to not make good moral or ethical decisions.

Are the atheistic western elites any better? WW3 seems to be kind of a possibility now. Pushing Russia into a corner was not a smart move. Especially for Germany.
