Trump doesn’t care about anyone in the position of power no matter how much money they have. If anyone has bought anyone here is Trump. Remember Elon was a democrat and Trump won him over. Yes, Elon is the one who went to Trump not the other way round.

    Trump on Elon, before Elon bought him: When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it,” the 45th commander-in-chief claimed.

      @@be5005 Hello, the term addict seems a little too judgy, for my taste. Musk stated that he is using prescribed ketamine to treat his depression. As all drugs, there are side effects and I am not sure a depressed man, under the influence of that kind of drug, should hold as much power as Musk does.
      Side effects according to American Addiction Centers:
      - Disorientation, confusion, or loss of motor coordination.
      - Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting.
      - Increased blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, or body temperature.
      - Changes in sensory perceptions, including visual or auditory hallucinations.
      - Feeling detached from yourself, your surroundings, or your environment.

    Sadly, Musk is anything but free speech. He has become a radical right advocate and lobbyist, sadly moving from his original, moderate and relatively balanced original position.
    His manipulation of Trump and influence on other politicians is un-democratic, unethical and basically corrupt. That is the kind behaviour that is common in countries run by dictators.
    Like Trump, Musk should stay focused on business, and serving his customers, rather than causing damage to the American public.

    Raffi Berg is widely known as a journalist and editor who focuses on Middle Eastern affairs. His book, Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad's Fake Holiday Resort, highlights a covert Israeli operation, which has led some to perceive his work as reflecting a pro-Israel perspective. However, his role as the BBC's Middle East editor requires impartiality as part of the BBC's editorial standards.
    Potential Concerns
    Perception of Bias:
    Critics may argue that if an editor has a known connection to narratives sympathetic to one side (e.g., writing about Mossad's successes), it could raise questions about their ability to cover both Israeli and Palestinian issues equitably.
    Impact on Palestinian Representation:
    If there’s an imbalance in how stories are selected or framed under his editorial leadership, it could affect the representation of Palestinian voices and issues in a way that benefits the Israeli government’s narrative.
    BBC's Role:
    The BBC is mandated to be impartial and balanced, but concerns have occasionally been raised by Palestinian activists and organizations about perceived biases in its reporting, including under Berg's tenure.
    Supporters’ Viewpoint
    Journalistic Integrity:
    Supporters might argue that writing about Israel’s history or intelligence operations doesn’t inherently mean bias, and Berg is a professional journalist bound by BBC guidelines.
    Focus on Balanced Reporting:
    Advocates for Berg’s work could point out that his editorial role involves oversight, not the sole crafting of headlines or narratives, and that BBC teams include a diverse range of contributors.
    Broader Implications
    This situation underscores the importance of scrutiny in media coverage of sensitive geopolitical issues. Public accountability is vital, as editorial decisions can shape international perceptions of conflicts like the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
