Asperger's has a huge impact on social skills, so it's logical to attribute social faux pas to it.

 

As I always say, people are entitled to their own opinions, not their own facts.

Social skills I get, but his logic was bollocks and the outcome favoured Russia with a mandate to do it again.

Or 

 

Russia fucks off out of Ukraine completely including Crimea.

 

Putin is replaced and put on trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

 

Russia is removed as a permanent member of the UN. 

 

Ukraine becomes neutral but any future aggression from Russia will default Ukraine as a memeber of Nato.  

 

Fuck the Vodka nonces.

Not actually true, the US government paid for some of them but most of them were on SpaceX's dime.

 

Still, people seem determined to believe whatever they want to believe when it comes to Musk, so don't let the facts change your mind.

73% was paid for by SpaceX, but the US government also paid costs of shipping etc besides paying for many of them. 
so yes he is talking up his company’s involvement to be something bigger than it was.

Right, but you originally said it was paid for by the taxpayer, without qualification. I'm happy that you've now clarified that most of it was, in fact, not paid for by the taxpayer and was, in fact, donated.

Donated by the taxpayer? Isn't that the default position of tax anyway? You donate it to the government, and they pass it on to their preferred recipients.

Something you are forced to pay under threat of imprisonment isn't quite donated, is it. A donation is something a person gives voluntarily, like the bulk of the 15,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine and the ongoing technical support.

This is a fact.

 

 

You do understand that there would be no SpaceX without the decades of support/contracts from NASA and the USAF?

 

I think y'all call it privitasation.

That ofcourse has changed so that now most of it isn’t from SpaceX, only the initial offering had most donated by them.

maybe Elon’s Asperger’s or Gnashers general cuntishness should take a look at this.  Fucking teeth.  Teeth.  
 

Fuck off. 

Seems like Putin was right about Nazi's being in Ukraine after all. However its not the Ukrainians. 

 

Him, his cronies and him commanders all need to be put on train at the ICC. 

 

Never thought we'd see anything like this in Europe again.

Mad how many people have gold teeth over in Ukraine. 
 

Call me cynical (just on this particular tweet) but seems a bit odd to me that nearly everyone they have killed had gold teeth.
