Lol. Africa to trade it way to prosperity, how??

The global order is almost fixed so that is definitely not gonna happen.

60K USD proof of fund from a country like UAE, just great.

An Homeless hobo in NY won't even need this to go there.

To you, Trump has a high IQ?



*********

Nope he doesn't but America power and it institutions were built by high IQ individuals.

WizardOfNG:
Correct 100%. If like 30 similar to Donald Trump become leaders of several Western nations, that is when your advice will hit home hard for so many Africans.

You are late to the party, is Africa backward and underdeveloped because they didn't want to build their country??

John's action will actually come with lots of consequences.

Lol. I thought women integrate into the society built by the men. Does your society looks like one that will raise prim and proper human??

SmartPolician:
Strong institutions or not, a president is still a president. If Trump cancels all the funds and contracts Elon enjoys from the American government, his stocks will collapse. No reasonable person fights someone in power.

Every freaking thing in the country is interconnected, you touch one all other collapse. Elon is bigger than trump.

As an outsider can I say something??

Even if all your leaders today start doing what is right progress will still be marginal if the root cause is not addressed.

lionshare:
abstract idea called democracy is meant for black man.

Nope, it's way beyond him and that has been proven over and over again.

lionshare:
Same applies—even in saner climes, Trump used to be a Democrat. U.S. governors have defected, so what do you mean—are those ones Black as well?

Your point??

This abstract idea called democracy isn't meant for black man.

No ideals, no belief system. Just politics of anything goes.

Elon in this case is way powerful than trump, he has a megaphone that could make the US economy take a hit which will impact the way of life of the average joe. Any president is weaker domestically because of our institutions.

Trump can get FBI agents to dig his crimes. They can pay a lady to accuse him of sexual crime. If the government really want to get you, they will get you!

Dude this is the US not some third world banana republic you know.

Let us start with SpaceX. If Trump directs NASA to cancel all space flight contracts with SpaceX, that company will die INSTANTA.

Next is to move to the EV mandates. Cancel everything. Next is to call up presidents of countries where Elon is getting Lithium and other minerals for his EV batteries and vehicles and tell them to cancel all mining permits and export licenses granted to Elon's companies, or risk very high tariffs and sanctions. They will comply sharply.

Next is to slam EVs with high taxes. People will just stop buying them. Already, sales in China and Germany have slumped heavily.

Elon will cool down eventually when his advisers tell him the true cost of his actions. Especially as his wealth is mostly on paper and he does not take any salary from his companies to avoid taxes.

Never mess with a sitting president. Abiola's family found out the hard way under Abacha.

Let's examine the reality check for any U.S. president considering irrational moves against Elon Musk's ventures. America's global influence is deeply rooted in its economic prowess and military strength. As a disruptor, Elon Musk's innovative approach has created a complex ecosystem that intersects with various industries.

Trump would face significant pushback from attempting to instruct NASA or other entities to take actions that aren't grounded in logic. SpaceX, in particular, supports thousands of American jobs, both directly and indirectly, through its extensive network of suppliers and partners.

If Trump were to take drastic, irrational measures, it would likely result in a massive blowback, impacting not only the U.S. economy but also the livelihoods of many Americans.

Furthermore, attempting to pressure leaders of countries that supply materials to Elon's businesses would be a high-risk strategy, especially given the current state of international relations.

Imposing high taxes on electric vehicles would also have far-reaching consequences, particularly with the upcoming midterm elections. If Democrats were to gain control of either or both houses of Congress, it would significantly limit Trump's ability to push through his agenda.

In short, any attempts to take an unhinged approach would likely backfire, and the consequences would be severe.

Most of his power and influence is on foreign policies not domestic policies, Trump can kill Iran second most powerful man without any consequence but he won't dare kill my dog in a cold blooded manner. That a fact.

Power wins over money every time. Trump's power can turn Elon's riches into dust.

Lol, how??

God1000:
The travel ban is only for third world countries, he will never try it with rich arab and African countries

Lol.

Installed a spy spyware on her phone, saw every conversations , pictures, video live....

Lol. What spyware?? How did you get access to it. Pegasus 2.0??

IgOga:
The hyping of this drone attack is quite unfortunate.

It will just prolong the war. Russia would likely respond which will not be good for Ukraine.

This war needs to end. Drone attack is not cards. Ukraine don't have any cards to play and every country can conduct drone attack.

Japan lost it's military pride with this kind of stunt on the US - Pearl Harbour attack in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. US responded with nuclear weapons and that was the end of Japan's military might.

America was always greater than the Japanese, ok (the West were out of their leagues to begin with).

The atomic bomb option though a bad one actually saved lives ok.

Take away nukes from Russia and it will be game over for them.

Starboytwo:
Instead make Ghana win it, 9Ja go win am...

Only a big man can carry a heavy bag...

Lol, and who is the big man??

This low life never learn. EU is a very powerful bloc and America biggest customers. Well midterm is around the corner.

Lol. South Africa really do have issues with Nigeria Just like Europe and prosperous East Asian countries.

If they had real power (Economic, Military and Political), they will unleash hate on people.

Lol.

They keep proving their detractors right.

This Kid went there too - Alexandr Wang

Oh! You should have passed this stage.

Africa needs rebels and mavericks not test takers.

Lol.

Lol.

GuiltyTrip:
Actually it’s safer to use a Russian plane. Fear of retaliation and possible WW3 outbreak will make everybody Dey there own lane. Meanwhile if he uses his own plane, he becomes an easy target. Using the Russian plane is largely for Security. Read between the lines bro!!!

Wait, wait let say NATO shoot down the plane, are you implying Russia will attack the West??

For what??

Lol.
