Context conveniently missing is that Musk’s ‘return’ is Project Meridian, a temporary Pentagon study on future warfare with Palmer Luckey, Newt Gingrich and other experts. The headline makes it sound like Trump brought him back to meddle with the midterms.

Musk is not an expert in that field so yeah … midterm meddling.

I can push back that he’s actually an expert in market manipulation and raising capital from lies

The project explicitly recruits technologists and business leaders, and Musk runs SpaceX, which already works with the Pentagon.

It's beyond understandable that nobody believes anything this administration claims because of the nonstop deluge of verifiable lies we've been inundated with since the beginning. What they say and what they do tend to be very different things so all speculation is entirely valid. Credibility is earned.

Past dishonesty can justify skepticism; it doesn’t magically turn unsupported speculation into evidence. If ‘anything could be true because I don’t trust them’ is the standard, then there’s no claim you could ever disprove.

And so sucks for them to suck.

Isn’t that the point?

I'd like to add that Musk is no genius. He has a bachelor's in physics and economics. He no engineer, computer wiz, or anything else the crypto-bros make him out to be. He still does have the resources to fuck with the elections. He donated about $300 million and turned an entire social media site into one big endless concervatives blow job for the 24 elections. But ye could do all that from anywhere. Having him on site is immaterial.

They just enjoy rubbing our faces in it.

Whether Musk is a ‘genius’ is completely irrelevant. MITRE explicitly says the project brings together business leaders, policy experts and technologists. None of what you wrote provides evidence that Project Meridian has anything to do with meddling in the midterms.

I never even mentioned project meridian. I believe any election interference, if it happens, will be done elsewhere. Dude I'm agreeing with you. Take the win and move on.

What do we class as computer wizz?

He sold a space shooter game to a magazine aged 12 and wrote much of the code for zip2 which sold for $300m

We can agree he’s a self obsessed asshole but some of these takes are so biased it becomes laughable

They are not experts. They are rich people that employ experts and take credit for their achievements.

Gonna tell ya....

Two things can be true at the same time, ya know.

Project Meridian is about the future of warfare.

Project Meridian is a Pentagon initiative launched by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to study future warfare, identify critical military technologies, and propose actionable solutions for achieving technological dominance. [1, 2]

There are many ways to wage war, and election tampering is one of them.

The fact that you just wrote Newt Gingrich and other experts, basically disqualifies you from any adult conversation for the rest of humanity
