  1. True. But having billionaires at all is a national security risk we cannot afford.

  2. So is Trump, but America signed up for another round of that bullshit.

  3. Why? Because he has businesses in China? Because had personal phone calls with Putin? That doesn’t make him a national security risk. That makes him a danger to the world.

  5. The entirety of the republican party is a national security risk…except they are now in charge of the nation. It’s basically like Jefferson Davis just beat Lincoln for the presidency. The Confederacy has won. And the best democrats can do is make jokes about Trump’s penis size and call musk names. It’s pathetic. 

  6. He is rancid. He hates American STEM workers. Like Orville Wright, George Westinghouse, Steve Jobs, Neil Armstrong, Thomas Edison, Oppenheimer, Vera Rubin, Sally Ride, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Martin Cooper, Claude Shannon, Robert Noyce, Farnsworth, John Bardeen, Washington Roebling, Steve Wozniak, George Washington Carver, Rachel Carson, Bob Kahn, Vint Cerf, Jonas Salk…

  8. So is Trump. But here we are. What is going to be done about it?

  9. Forget the law, do what we need to do to protect ourselves.

  11. When you see posts where half the top level comments are basically the exact same comment. I sometimes wonder if they’re bots, but then I think it’s probably even worse if they’re not

  14. So AIPAC and it’s associated wings what’s the point here

  15. There is no more national security. Barely any more nation.

    Our only hope is that things get so bad for the red states in the next two years that we get a massive blue wave in 2026, but even that is only if Trump doesn’t “cancel” the midterms based on some bullshit security threat.

  16. Immigrant so just deport him, I hear Germany would like him to move there

  17. NYT decides now is a good time to start raising red flags. I mean, I agree with the headline, but WTF – would it have been too much to say “Hey America, you’re probably better off NOT voting for the convicted felon”? Sigh, gonna be a long four years (and yeah, I agree, they might figure out a way to extend this kleptocracy etc etc)

  20. International security risk. He is starting to interfere in the coming elections here in Germany and donating to the UK far right also

  21. International… He’s an international security risk.

  24. If only the NYT had run some stories on this *before* the election.

  27. I feel the same was about President Musk as I did about President Trump.

  28. the entire Republican party and everyone they toady up to is a national security risk. Christ, half the country just made the biggest national security risk president!

  31. The entire billionaire class are a threat to the freedom and security of the people of any country.

  32. I have an honest question: why is the NY Times JUST NOW reporting on an obvious story that the public has been aware of for months? So they can claim umbridge later?

  33. I’d call the whole incoming clusterfuck of an administration and it’s associated sideshows a security risk.

  34. Elon Musk is a threat to america…arrest and deport him. Take away all of his government contracts and subsidies.

  35. The majority of the executive branch is now a security risk. Good luck with that.

  37. I have a cool $20 in my drawer I’m willing to bet on that after Trump and Musk’s initial attempt at Ukrainian “Peace Talks” goes to hell because *of course it will*, all of sudden for no apparent reason Russian missiles and airstrikes will get a lot more accurate and regularly able to hit Ukrainian assets and/or Russian forces will suddenly get a lot better at attacking Ukrainian defenses and getting damage in and through.

    *For no particular reason at all.*
