Apparently, Elon loved the wild fantasies of the former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, where he says the US will enter a civil war and Elon Musk will be president in some of the states street the GOP takes control.

Thread Reader page for Medvedev's entire thread here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1607487338401206273.html

His thread starts with this tweet:

1. Putin's goal is to break the US apart.

Like Russia was broken apart.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Putin's goal in 2023 will be staying alive.

Is Dmitry's account, Putin's sock-puppet?

[Irish_Dem]

9. Putin has all kinds of puppets installed everywhere.

He has been working on this for decades.

[Cha]

18. Wow.. I was thinking along

those lines, too.

And, wishing him the worst fucking Luck.

[Irish_Dem]

48. As a young KGB agent, Putin was devastated when the USSR broke apart.

The story goes he vowed revenge on the west.

Like a typical sociopath he could not place any blame on himself or the Soviet Union.

So he has spent decades working on that retaliation.

The US GOP has been a willing ally.

Putin is openly installing his puppets into the US government who spout
his daily talking points like good assets. The violence against the US govt
is out in the open as well.

And the constant pitting of Americans against each other to the point now
where we all hate each other.

I have been saying for sometime the GOP is waging civil war, and now
people are seeing it.

[highplainsdem]

41. I wish that was his only goal.

[highplainsdem]

36. Yes.

[Walleye]

2. Good, that just shows he doesn't know the first thing about the United States

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Dmitry and Elon are smoking the good stuff!

What do they have in common? Both are presiding in implosions of their own making. When they sober up, their reality in 2023 won't be very pretty.

[dalton99a]

4. Fucking assholes.

16. GOPers: He's a US citizen. Not a U.S. citizen, but one of US so that's OK.

[highplainsdem]

20. He is a US citizen, also a citizen of Canada and South Africa. But he's a

naturalized US citizen, so not eligible to be president. Unless the Constitution is changed. See reply 19.

[former9thward]

44. If there were a civil war which resulted in a U.S. breakup I am pretty sure

the Constitution would no longer apply.

[highplainsdem]

45. That's what I said in reply 19. But I also think Musk would like to see

the current US Constitution changed so he could become president, as I explained there.

[PortTack]

40. Attention seeking man child likes anything that puts him in the spot light

[texasfiddler]

7. Classic Russian move: Flatter a famous ego driven asshole with the intent of dividing the U.S.

The ego driven asshole eats it up every time. I wonder if they have any Kompromat on musk?

[highplainsdem]

32. Worked with Trump.

[Ocelot II]

8. Fortunately for us, Eloon can't be president. He'd be as bad as TFG

if that were possible. I guess this scenario presumes the collapse of the current system such that the Constitution no longer applies, but then Eloon would have to duke it out with TFG. That probably doesn't matter to the Russians, though, as long as we're all fucked up.

[highplainsdem]

19. Medvedev is predicting a GOP controlled area split off from the US

and Washington DC, so they'd have their own Constitution. A lot of RWers want a new Constitutional convention anyway, to make the current Constitution into something RWers like.

You can bet Musk has wondered if it could be rewritten so he could be president.

There have been lots of tweets from his fans saying they want him as president, and he's apparently boosting those.

[Beetwasher.]

10. Ahh, Moving on From Trump To Elon, I See

Wash, rinse, repeat.

[CloudWatcher]

11. How soon can NASA cancel every contract with SpaceX?

It's obscene that this idiot gets any support from our taxes.

[temporary311]

15. Yeah, they should've been cut off as soon as

he started regurgitating deep-cut Kremlin propaganda. Hopefully this traitorous piece of shit can be removed from anything even tangentially connected to our defense.

[area51]

31. +1 n/t

[Arazi]

17. Mush isn't on America's side that's obvious

Definitely time to re-evaluate his contracts

[dalton99a]

46. +1.

21. One thing I don't understand. Why did Musk provide Ukraine with Starlink internet access?

This is counter to what Putin would have wanted. So why?

[highplainsdem]

22. To make himself look good. Other governments pay for almost all of

Ukraine's Starlink access, but Musk gets credit for most if not all of it.

See this Foreign Policy article for how undependable he is as an ally of Ukraine:

26. How is that making points with Pooty Poot?

I don't know what to believe.

30. Did you read that article? He's playing both sides.

23. Good question

I forgot about that. Are words being twisted?

It’s one thing for Elon Musk to wish ill will on Democrats — not a terribly wise business move, but whatever. But now he’s lauding Russian government statements calling for the destruction of the United States. I’m sorry, but that’s seriously screwed up.

[Arthur_Frain]

39. Vodka's a helluva drug.

Can you imagine the status of the Mexicans in an “allied state” of Texas and Mexico? What kind of “equality” do you imagine they’d enjoy?

[iemanja]

42. He might be czar but he'll never be elected president

He wasn't born in the US.

[highplainsdem]

43. See reply 19.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

47. Civil War in 2023 would end the GOP in the US, and wipe the American Nazis

off the face of the earth. If Musk uses his wealth to fund a civil war, he will hang for it after a short trial. Dark Brandon would declare Martial Law in Texas, and place Draq Queens in charge of the government there, just to piss the Nazis off. heh.

Hopefully, this will make Musk a person of interest for federal law enforcement.

Never again.,

[Stuart G]

49. Musk is much too "stupid" and "egotistical" to know what he has done to himself & his company.

But, he will find out when the company goes bankrupt...But Musk sold his stock?

What do you think of that one?

[highplainsdem]

50. UPDATE - I discovered this morning that Musk did tweet to call Medvedev "absurd" after

his earlier responses got a widespread negative reaction. But the tweet below wasn't posted till nearly 5 hours after he called Medvedev's thread "epic" - and I couldn't help noticing that he did NOT push back specifically on Medvedev's predictions of European unity ending, or the US having a civil war and the GOP states who split off electing Musk as their president.

That's because his RWNJ followers don't like NATO and the EU, and many of them have been talking about wanting a civil war or at least a political "divorce" in the US, with GOP led states becoming a separate country.

And a lot of Musk's fans have said they want him as president. Even without a civil war. Even though that would require changing the Constitution.

Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy.
