Was This Trump's Godfather's Kiss? Musk, Netanyahu and Zionism's End...
The fates of the South African billionaire and Netanyahu are intrinsically-linked
What if Donald Trump arrests Netanyahu?
Did Zohran Mamdani free President Donald Trump to take a closer look at America’s close relationship with Netanyahu and Zionism generally?
Like many critics of the Zionist war machine I was thrilled to see Zohran Mamdani reiterate his calls to jail Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on cable TV.
To be sure it’s unclear what, if anything, a Mayor Mamdani might do when he ascends to Gracie Mansion, and it’s pretty thin to claim he’ll enforce international law against Netanyahu. Isn’t it far better to jail Bibi for his violations of American law? We know he’s been giving the cartels hacking tools to deploy against our border guards, for example.
No, it’s far better to bring Netanyahu to justice for his years of illegal behavior in America. It’s pretty clear that one of the reasons the Israeli networks freaked out when then-Congressman Matt Gaetz seemed likely to become America’s attorney general was that they feared he would be an aggressive prosecutor of the very same Israeli fuckery which had targeted him.
But I’m coming around to seeing this as a three-step routine.
Pass “the Big Beautiful Bill” which limits the E.Vs set asides and will crash Tesla stock.
In 2010 Obama’s Department of Energy awarded Tesla a $465 million loan to develop electric cars. Elon promised to build “a model T” of electric cars but of course he didn’t.
China’s BYD has now leap-frogged global EV production. If you value a world that’s post fossil fuels this development is a good thing but it’s going to require a serious American response that Elon is too compromised to participate in. In effect Tesla will have to be nationalized.
Bring a series of prosecutions against Musk.
NHTSA is finally going after Musk for his years of fraud and killing people.
Once that happens all other investigations can proceed.
The loss of key Musk personnel will undoubtedly be used against him.
SpaceX board member Alex Jacobson was looking to move to Tel Aviv before the October 7th incidents but has since decided to stay put.
And it’s pretty clear that Musk friend Jared Isaacman was Likud’s effort to steal NASA data.
It’s not clear that any of Musk’s companies could clear compliance with the John McCain Act of 2019 which restricted foreign money into critical technologies.
Topple Netanyahu.
Trump claims that Bibi is being targeted in much the same way he was — which is deeply funny as there were plenty of Zionists — really left-wing Likud — leading the charge to “get Trump.” I suspect that Trump knows this full well and is playing with it by highlighting U.S. military aid. He knows full well that he can’t cut off the aid to Israel — it’s in statute — but he wants to pretend he can.
If Israel were to get along with all of its neighbors there would be little need for this $3B a year or so we send Israel. Trump knows this too. He’s become aware that the real impediment to Middle East peace is Bibi which, I suspect, is why he’s invited him to the White House next week.
My colleague in blogging — Sammy Roosevelt — notes that the relationship with the IDF and Elon Musk goes back a lot longer than we might think and I seemingly recall.
Musk’s Israeli ties go back a lot farther than this, of course. Musk joined Tesla in 2004 as chairman, he brings on former IDF officer Ze’ev Drori as CEO from 2007-2008 before becoming CEO himself in 2008. Back then the media made it seem that Musk ousted Drori as CEO, “Tesla Motors Zaps another CEO,” said the New York Times. But in 2022, Drori sounds like someone who had a great time at Tesla and accomplished everything he needed to while he was there, not someone who was ousted.
Above is a video of Ze’ev Drori telling the story of his interview with Elon for the position of CEO of Tesla. In it, he reminisces about being an “agent of change” for the company. In just one year of being CEO, he restructured the entire company. “I got all the executives that I decided should not be with us, and terminated them,” says Drori. So did Elon oust Drori to become CEO, or was Drori really brought into Tesla to Israelify the company and give Musk some proper Israeli training and preparation before he was to become CEO himself?
It’s a worthwhile question, especially when you consider the role that Zionist video blogger and charlatan Lex Friedman had played in pushing the self-driving car fraud.
It’s often portrayed by foreigners that America is under a kind of Zionist occupation — which gives Netanyahu way too much credit — but that’s not exactly correct.
I think something far more interesting is happening:
I think President Donald Trump is breaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
First there was the godfather’s kiss where he was asking, a little too loudly, for the Israeli state not to jail Bibi. At least not yet.
Now there’s the summoning to the White House.
What if Donald Trump arrests Netanyahu?
If by "topple" you mean prosecute, yes.
Also in the bbb Mike Lee had the land sale language. Sure on the surface it was about housing but really it was about data centers and piping digital full interstate. In Lee's final statement on the matter he stated he pulled the language and conceded his goals to sell public/fedral land and lamented that he, in the end, admitted it was going to forigners.. "not to China, not to BlackRock, and not to any foreign interests."
Whether this opposition was organic or not we saw a glimpse of the multinational resource mafia, elon included, get their collective pants pulled down. A large "organic" movement coincidentally arose to oppose it... anything is possible.
