We can be all but certain that the CCP has its tendrils into Big Balls' phone and computers. A bunch of idiots with no opsec skills makes for easy pickings.

Why does the ccp always come up in these discussions? You have Rogue billionaire taking an axe at the pillars of government and there’s still someone bringing up the ccp.
Why
Because that's what an intelligence agency from a rival nation state would do?
It's a good story. Having a tangible villain helps some people internalize the message more easily than if it was a dry account with vague connections to reality. If you're out to "rally the troups", stirring up emotion is a required component.
Take CCP is an example to form an emotional attachment to.
But the tangible villain is already there no? Musk?

A lot of people are so brainwashed by U.S. propaganda they cannot comprehend that American billionaires are independently evil. Add to that the fanboyism where his sycophants can't see how utterly rotten Musk is and always has been.
Their sense of world order requires there be a shadowy threat actor such as Russia or China, instead of the obvious truth that this is American capitalism operating as designed.
What makes Musk so utterly rotten? Otherwise "it's just like your opinion, man..."
"Requires a shadowy threat actor such ad Russia and..."? Trump is trying to normalize US-Russian relations.
"This is American capitalism operating as designed" - Honestly what do you mean?
Trump and Musk's reforms looks different enough from anything else tried in the last 25 years that I am super curious to see where it goes. I'm not into fear porn that this is the end of the world, H*tler, or whatever.
I'm also curious about Billionaires being independently evil - what do you mean, are virtually all billionaires evil? Are they really morally worse people than the average or do they just have access to more resources and influence?
