full-blown Howard Hughes?
-
Hughes earned his fortune, Musk swindled his from the government.

Since Hughes was a military contractor, it would be fair to say that he swindled his from the government as well.

I used to go out to eat with a socialist friend every week, and had no issues with his che t shirts and etc socialismo memorabilia. One time he was ranting about how Chile was getting screwed by the US capitalists, and I asked him to explain it to me.
So he said Chile had to pay a fortune for copper wire made from copper ore mined in Chile itself! He left out the part where some American company had to buy the ore from the Chilean mine, pay to have it shipped to the USA, pay to have it refined into pure copper, paid to have it drawn into wire, paid to have it insulated, and then sold to whoever wanted copper wire. You remind me of him.

I've got a friend who likes to rant about the Mueller investigation being a witch hunt. He's not impressed by the fact that it's netted many "witches" who have broken the law. You remind me of him.
-
And Chile was a socialist democracy then.
-
Perhaps the amazingly successful witch hunt will ensnare a wyche who used to routinely email thousands of top secrets on a non secure line and server.

The one who wasn't elected? As the saying goes, she should be the material used on the wall because people can't get over her.
-
Pictures of her likely would work, yes.

I'm just over here chuckling at Elon Musk smoking weed and talking about being in a universe simulator.
If you don't take life too seriously, you'll find that your blood pressure returns to normal and you feel great.

If Musk were like Hughes, he'd have been able to put off the SEC for years, like Howard allegedly did to avoid having to divest his TWA stock until it was worth what he wanted to dump it at. Or maybe that was the stockholders who were after him. I can't remember the details now, but they were vividly embellished in the fiction of James Ellroy. Then again, what would Hughes be like on Twitter?
-
Now, now... Howie got his money the old fashioned way, he inherited it. Dad left him an oil bit company years ahead of it's time to finance his passion for racing planes and chasing women. I don't know where Elon got his, but calling the Thai SEAL a "child molester" for trying to rescue kids from a cave said to me Elon will be in his enclosed private penthouse before long.
-
Conversations like this remind me of an old George Carlin bit; 'What do people in politics do? They come up with a never ending slew of mud to sling at each other to keep the public fighting while they run to the bank with our money."
'nuff said.

Leave it to the liberal left to bring their stupidity and animosity onto a radio forum. Isn’t anything sacred anymore?
-
For musk to achieve Hughes status he will also need to be borg'd by a organised religion. I suggest some good old time snake hanlin religy!

I can picture this at a trump rally

Aren't you a self-proclaimed Commie? Why the hostility towards your fellow travelers?

I kind of look like Lenin when I put on a trenchcoat. When my hair first started going, I came in wearing mine saw myself in the mirror and thought "Why Vlad Ulyanov, I haven't seen you ages! How are things in your tomb?"
I think we both got our eye-folds from the same Central Asian horde. I wonder if he got the blue spot above his butt crack? I got cheated.

I know a guy whose fashion style can best be described as "early Russian Bolshevik, when they were still underground."
He's the leader of the local Socialist club.

We don't have any Socialist clubs around here, but we do have some socialist parks and libraries.

At my college there was an huge three story brick house where the radical left types lived and hung out. It was the biggest thing on the block. We called it "The Kremlin". They had free community feeds once a month with food donated by a local co-op. It wasn't great but it beat Top Ramen. I was up there for one when a fight broke out over who were "real" Bolsheviks. It was hilarious. Glad I filled my plate before the floor show began.
Most of them are probably insurance salesmen now

At U of MD, we had the Food Coop, a place in the Student Union that proudly sold things like bananas from Nicaragua. (This was in the mid 80s when the Sandinistas were oppressing the local populace in the name of freedom)

Did you eat the bananas? :)

Bill Moyers loved a good cigar, as did Al Haig. Moyer's was coming down the hall to attend a press briefing early in the Reagan years and found Haig smoking outside. Moyers saw the band and said, "Why Al, that's a Cuban cigar! I wouldn't have thought that of you." Haig answered back, "Destroying the enemies crops one cigar at a time, Bill." Haig gave Moyers a couple he had stashed in his jacket pocket and they both went inside. There are embargo's you pay attention to, and others you don't.
The ban on Cuban cigars was one that was never going to work, there's nothing else like them when they're on. JFK was breaking that one almost as soon as he declared it. A fella has to have his sticks.

Speaking of Cuba and commies and JFK, Vladimir (Russian for "ruler of world", however "mir" is also the word for "peace") Putin has allegedly installed mobile nuclear missiles in Cuba.

I think I walked into the Coop once, and quickly exited. 8)

Ours was where you got your homebrewing supplies. Homebrew supplies make for a prosperous sideline in a college town. If you can boil water, you can make beer.
