The only smart take on Bolivia’s election is that if it wasn’t for Evo’s stupid ego, they would’ve had this election a year ago and without a semi-dictatorial, racist, religious extremist taking the presidency for months.

But whatever, if Bolivia exported lithium, or cobalt, or nickel, or whatever before, they will continue to do so now. I don’t think elon cares if it goes to state coffers or to private ones.

Elon, respectfully, you haven’t made a coup since 2012:

Like you, I miss the good old days, when a coup had some staying power.  and military parades!  Who doesn’t love a parade?

I always say that about Vietnam too...  The streets of HCM City look the same as they would have had the imperialists held it.  Multi-national corporations, SONY factories, Starbucks, US hotel chains and French retailers... weird huh?

I swear, he increasingly appears to be maybe one volcanic island lair away from being rated a level 4 or 5 antagonist

Let’s see him avoid accountability yet again.

You say that... but... the best French pastries and baked goods I’ve ever had were at a French Bakery place in Saigon on a side street near the river.  It was habit forming; between jetlag and hunger I’d be up every morning at 5 to go get coffee and fresh stuff at the boulangerie.

It feels like a line’s been crossed when you flippantly insert yourself (joke?!??) into another nation’s politics— with a clear self-interest in the resources and commercial dealings? I dunno, but I’d like to think an “internal filter” kicks in before you hit “Post” on that one.

But, he could well have no such filter, eh?

He doesn't have one - one of the reasons why I really think he should have been "kicked upstairs" and kept as a non-executive chairman, with a new CEO as the company's main, public face, instead of the other way around that they did.

We’re all doomed the day he announces (over Twitter, of course) he’s starting his own army and developing nukes.

And as a plot twist, every Tesla with OTA updates is programmed to join in on whatever war effort he launches.

I wonder who the Guild will assign him to - Steve Wozniak? Does he rate an arch e nemy?

Colonization is a very traumatizing experience, and it makes access to resources very unequal... so I think it’s somewhat natural for Bolivians to want public control of stuff... it gives them a semblance of say as to what happens.

But it doesn’t mean there’s no exploitation of the resources... latin american socialists are a bit like soviets when it comes to the enviroment.
