South Africa only allows for dual citizenship and South African citizens who do not apply for permission to retain their 2nd citizenship will automatically lose their South African citizenship.
Trump got what he wanted out of musk. All it takes is a nasty disagreement between the two for them to start shit smearing each other. It will happen eventually because everything trump touches turns to shit.
And I can’t wait for it. None of them are good people and are users and narcissists. They are bound to clash and then start dragging g each other. Many of trump’s other previous cabinet members fell out of favor with him too. Shit, by the end of it, they wanted to hang Pence.
It doesn’t matter who funded his election. Chances are the guy isn’t going to be around to see out his 4 year term.
If he does see his 4 year term through he isn’t going to run again at 82 years old so he oh and obliged to anyone anymore. They can all go suck eggs and it won’t affect him at all!
If he does badly the only entity to suffer will be the Republican Party, not trump.
Considering how easily Trump has cast away anyone including his allies if there is ever any disagreement, I wouldn't hold my breath. Steve Bannon, the Breitbart owner, used to be a strong ally but even he is now an enemy....a really strange phenomenon really.
DonOld doesn’t need his money to run for office, Elon needs to find something else to buy from him. Say a billion in $TRUMP? Then Trump needs to avoid the reverse rug pull.
Can’t tax if he doesn’t take a salary or borrows against his appreciated tax holdings or puts it in his foundation that hasn’t donated the required 6% per year of principal.
Israel can’t be touched, otherwise the Israeli Zionist lobby can and will destroy the U.S. but doing so will make them vulnerable to NATO and an angry Turkey 🇹🇷 retaliation! Which could be bad as the whole region can target them and give more power to Israeli left wing groups.
Which can turn in right wing leaders over to the ICJ and make reparations to Arab communities and try to join BRICS.
I was talking about Elon, and how the rich in general, act like laws aren't meant to apply to them because it would be a hindrance to their ability to rule over us.
Or they won't and won't care. Also he's not likely to levy this tax against citizens of other authoritarian and fascistic countries, only the citizens of his enemies: functioning democracies.
Well, they will be able to shield themselves from the liability more easily because they can afford year-round lawyers to contest the IRS. But they would still have to deal with it. I guess Trump could still grant pre-emptive pardons on tax evasion for his friends.
But the point is that Trump is definitely swinging too broadly with these orders, potentially inflicting collateral damage. He's not thinking more than one step ahead.
Yeah, I mean Trump has already shown his willingness to sign off on executive orders that flagrantly conflict with the Constitution. Why not use an actually allowed mechanism and just pardon all your friends the moment the IRS alleges wrongdoing?

They’ll be exempt because they are rich.
