“Musk is deciding who wins a war and who loses it? He’s not the president of the United States! “But Musk and Trump are now back on the same side - and that side is Russia.” Why is Musk using his control over the skies to help Putin, and has it got something to do with Trump?

I had scavanger appear in a late model diesel utility and take a single drink can out of my rubbish. For part of that time here, he left his engine idling. Surely he spent more money on the diesel than he gets (10 cents) for a single can. It doesn't make any economic sense.
