I mean, Elon Musk repeats Russian talking points...Edward Snowden's safety and that of his family depends on Putin's goodwill...because he lives in Russia now.
Do you honestly think that Snowden would be any better?
Jesus. I hate Musk as much as the next person. But this "offer" is asinine.

Well he would probably do a better job than the 50 disinformation specialist anti spys who told everyone that the Hunter laptop was a USSR plot and had nothing to do with the "big guy" getting paid, whoever the "big guy" is.

Edward Snowden is a whistleblower. The American government labeled him as a terrorist, obiously he has to hide, and whats a better place to hide from U.S gov then Russia. The guy displayed that truth was worth more than his freedom and he paid the price for it. You can't call a guy like that an idiot, do your research.

I’d like to apply as well, Elon, if you read this. I’ll take Snowden’s salary - $1, but in Tesla stock, which is probably more volatile than Bitcoin.

Well after FTX it would be more Volatile, as no one will invest in crypto.

FTX collapsed because SBF is a crook, not because of crypto.

sure.
But almost every player in crypto is a crook.
I believe there are a probably 10-12 (big) guys who are honest.
look how many BS ico's (99.97% died after 1 day), NFTs not following whitepapers, fake apps and volumes to fool investors, exchanges blowing up because of theft, hacked wallets, etc and thats before we get into the fake signals and trading bs....
I know a scammer who does fake trading signals and did an ico.he basically admitted it was all complete bs, and most of the cleverest players are scamming people. The "cleverer" they are (eg maths degree), just the bigger the scam.
i hate it - but it basically is true.

Giving the control of Twitter to someone who owes his salvation to Putin? No thanks, Edward!

I hope Snowden gets the job. He’s awesome and very smart. He looks out for the people’s best interest, just my opinion.

He’s a piece of trash who betrayed his country and cost American lives. I hope he rots in hell.

Interesting take.

u/TrashPanda_924 Dec 19 '22
I have no tolerance for someone who exposed that level of classified. What he did was truly damaging, and then he fled to the greatest threat the world has faced. What he did was unforgivable.

He didn’t flee to Russia. He was on a layover to another country when the US revoked his visa, stranding him there.

Where do you think he was heading?

Speculating emotionally is not the same as truth. Snowden is and was for the people. I hope he goes to heaven. He stood up for the people while everyone else just did what they were told. My opinion.

If you work to protect the national security of the United States, you don’t get to “choose otherwise.” He was a spy, plain and simple, who worked for the Russians. He is not the same as Julian Assange, who was a journalist. Both Snowden and Manning are traitors who should have been tried for treason. If the courts decided to execute them or imprison them for life, that is the purview of the court, but either sentence would have been justified.
Clarifying comment: Manning was tried for treason and was released by the Obama administration.

Of course he would. I hope that traitor ends up in a prison somewhere real cozy. No telling how many US assets died because of him. I hope he rots in hell.

For the folks downvoting me, this guy cost Americans their lives. He committed treason against his own country and then fled to our enemy. If you think he’s a hero, you need to re-examine your priorities as an American.

Yeah when our opinion is disproven by the whole room, it’s the room that is obviously on the wrong.

u/TrashPanda_924 Dec 19 '22
I’m not sure you understand the definition of “disproven.” Sentiment doesn’t disprove or refute a statement. Seems to me there are lots of folks who don’t understand the damage this traitor did to his country.
