Musk calls Maduro a 'dictator' in tech billionaire's latest blow-up against foreign leader

“Shame on Dictator Maduro,” Musk said Monday.

Maduro in turn trashed Musk as “the archenemy of Venezuela’s peace.”

Maduro/Chavez: Dictators.

Trump/Orban/Xi/Mohammed bin Salman: Champions of peace, prosperity and democracy.

Earlier this year, the self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” clashed with a Brazilian supreme court justice over free speech, far-right accounts and purported misinformation on X, formerly Twitter.

Xitter is absolutely free speech for Musk's AI-enabled delusional world view.

Musk needs to rethink his ethics in light of who he often cites.

the owner of X took to the social media platform to accuse the self-proclaimed socialist leader of “major election fraud.”

Musk must have forgotten that Russia and China have huge investments in Venezuela, and might risk alienating Putin and Xi.

Why with all the hundreds of millions that Maduro and his oligarchs have got from sales of Venezuelan oil and gas, is the country in such a financial mess. Oil/gas rich countries like Venezuela run by corrupt despots are often like that, The UAE/Kuwait and a few others have done much better at distributing the wealth got from selling their resources, whereas nations like Venezuela, Iran, and Russia have seen most of the wealth skimmed off with little left for those outside the ruling caste. Hopefully Mexico with new leadership can be a country where most citizens prosper from their state's sales of oil and gas, not just the ruling caste.

I guess St. Elon didn’t get the talking points from the election deniers cult.

Delusions of grandeur just another sign of a paranoid disorder.

Musk should concentrate on whatever his business is...leave foreign nations out of his ever increasing reign of concern.

St. Elon won't have the guts to call out Chairman XI as a Dictator though.

Funny, that.

He said she said is very childish.

Guy has more than 10 kids and doesn't know how to raise them. What makes him think any sane not rich person cares about his opinion?

Poor Elon!

He will say and do anything to be liked by the most people possible.

Wherever the wind is blowing that is where you will find the spoiled child from SA.

Elon is desperate and WEIRD!

Isn't must in enough troubles already to dive into politics?

Pathetic childish clown..

Probably just done to try to rehabilitate his image after going all in on the Donald.

Guy has more than 10 kids and doesn't know how to raise them. What makes him think any sane not rich person cares about his opinion?

A lot, that’s why he’s he’s richest man on Earth.

He will say and do anything to be liked by the most people possible.

He is both liked and hated, goes with the territory.

Wherever the wind is blowing that is where you will find the spoiled child from SA.

What is wrong with being rich or spoiled?

Elon is desperate and WEIRD!

That depends on the persons outlook

For once I agree with Musk. As for his kids, he's out about the one who changed to a transsexual.

"Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's transgender daughter, has publicly disowned her father following his recent statements. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, alleged that his daughter was "killed" by a "woke mind virus" and accused those involved in her gender transition of "child mutilation and sterilisation."

What can anyone say?

He may have his reasons or resentments to knowing his kids is a transgender. If my daughter were a transgender, I would love her no matter what, but would I be happy about it, no.

If my daughter were a transgender, I would love her no matter what, but would I be happy about it, no.

But it sounds like she wouldn't be dead to you, which apparently Musk's daughter is for him.

We are all different. I remember when I was about 20 I asked him how would he feel if I told him I was gay, he said flat out, he would disown me. We were very close, but me being gay was something he just could not and would not accept.

Musk not only spreading fake news, also breaking X rules and regulations.

Following the results of Venezuela’s presidential election, in which Maduro and his opponents each claimed victory, the owner of X took to the social media platform to accuse the self-proclaimed socialist leader of “major election fraud.”

Musk only likes fascist, authoritarian leaders of election fraud and rich dictators.

Musk not only spreading fake news, also breaking X rules and regulations.

He’s the owner, he actually can do that, take it or leave it, crying foul won’t change that.

Musk only likes fascist, authoritarian leaders of election fraud and rich dictators.

A lot of Communists and Socialists as well.

Wow, sounds like your dad was very intolerant. Sorry to hear that.

"Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's transgender daughter, has publicly disowned her father following his recent statements.

This is false, Vivian disowned her father years ago.

Express sister

Not according to all the recent media reports.

Someone asked how Venezuela ended up poor despite oil revenue.

Well, when the US backed opposition was in power, they, the opposition leaders of the time got very rich, but the Venezuelan population got very poor.

Then, under Chavez, Venezuela had the fastest growing economy in the region, until the US started skimming off the Venezuelan revenues in various ways.

Then, under Maduro, the US outright stole everything they could.

Basically the reason Venezuela ended up poor is the reason American Blacks (Google Black Wall Street) ended up poor.

America's White Oligarchs got offended by people with darker skin doing well, and destroyed what they were building.

In 2022, Wilson petitioned a California court to change her name and gender, saying she no longer wishes to be related to her father “in any way, shape or form

Well, this explains a lot.

He was old-school, so can't blame him, he grew up in a different time, and in a different era.

Well, this explains a lot.

Nothing actually

Wow was Musk of the stuff for once

Ironically, was listening to 99%Invisible's 'virtual bookclub' on the book Powerbroker, and they drew a comparison between the subject of the book and Musk, with Musk coming off even more unfavorably than usual.

Musk is screaming because anyone who looks at the actual history of Venezuela, the preChavez American supported right wing 'capitalists' who ran it almost like a slave plantation, the Chavez years before America started its economic war on the fastest growing economy around, and the resilience of democracy in the face of foreign backed coups since, shows exactly how counterfactual the Trump/Musk economic and social beliefs are.

I only know about Maduro by hearsay, but certainly many Venezuelans have left Venezuela with less-than-complimentary stories. I don't know for sure if Musk is right or wrong about whether there was really election fraud, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Xi is not a dictator.

St. Elon won't have the guts to call out Chairman XI as a Dictator though.

Near bottom press freedom in the world = a dictator.

They still have the oil so what is the explanation for the current poverty?

Then, under Chavez, Venezuela had the fastest growing economy in the region, until the US started skimming off the Venezuelan revenues in various ways.

Lol, in the region.

Then, under Maduro, the US outright stole everything they could.

Despite the absolute dictatorship, huh? That's one might stupid dictatorship.

Basically the reason Venezuela ended up poor is the reason American Blacks (Google Black Wall Street) ended up poor.

They were attacked by white mobs? Not likely.

America's White Oligarchs got offended by people with darker skin doing well, and destroyed what they were building.

I believe some sources are in order that the US destroyed anything in Venezeula. America's trade, America's rules. If a scummy dictatorship has no friends to trade with, that is its own problem.

America's White Oligarchs got offended by people with darker skin doing well, and destroyed what they were building.

Spot on, sorry I didn't have time to write it out.

It is the old story of Lumumba, Allende, Chavez etc. Countries in the 3rd World incredibly rich in natural resources.

All of the gains going to American/European corporations and a small corrupt colluding elite and the people in poverty.

Today's Democratic Republic of the Congo is a modern example.

Any leader that wants to nationalize assets gets the sanctions, economic hitman, covert op destabilization treatment.

And keep saying that if one is within his grasp and doesn’t want to disappear!
