"there is no way..." someone has been drinking the anti-musk kool-aid. The USG has done the exact same shit before with F16s and yet when Elon does it because of the USG, all we hear is Elon bad.

A small sampling of Musk's lies, most of which have been known for years...

He says he founded Tesla. Nope. Nor did he design the company’s first roadster. He lied and is still lying about Tesla’s “Autopilot.” Musk lied about the Hyperloop and getting approval for a multi-billion dollar government contract to build it. He lied about having “Funding secured” for taking Tesla private, was sued by the SEC, cost investors millions and was ultimately forced out of his position as Tesla chairman because of it.

Musk lied about buying Twitter and only followed through when he was facing discovery because he was being sued - a nightmare for any malignant narcissist. He lied about honoring the results of Twitter polls he posted. Musk even lies about meaningless things like showing up for a cage match with Zuckerberg.

The USG has allowed a single individual to disable F16's on a whim? Nope, never happened.

When's your "cage match" with Musk, or will you just beg him for an autograph?
