Thanks, my online friend. I didn't get into Musk in what I wrote but I am certain he knows all about how the Nazis managed to roll though Europe so quickly by using overwhelming force on against mulitple countries.

Love your use of pictures. I must put pictures in mine too!! And of course I agree with you.

Sometimes I think of an illustration first and then write an essay to go along with it. In this Substack, I thought of the illustration afterwards and patted myself on the back for having it fit my writing about tanks, artillery, and bombers. For that one, I just used image search. Sometimes I use the free Perchance image AI https://perchance.org/ai-photo-generator If you try it look at the cinematic, professional photo, and casual photo images. I've asked for some that required me to turn off the adult image filter. If you want an uflattering image of Trump always ask for fat Trump. Try asking for fat angry Trump. If you do decide to use images I look forward to see what you come up with.

another excellent essay. doubtless musk knows all about nazi warfare and strategy. the moron not so much, but he doesn't need to. scary times we live in.

I wonder if Musk had some pals who were offspring of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers who fled to South Africa. He could have learned directly from them in addition to studying history. see: "How Nazi sympathizers in WWII Cape Town spied on the Allies and evaded justice"

There were also Nazi spies in South Afria during the war: https://theconversation.com/a-return-to-the-archives-sheds-light-on-german-spies-in-south-africa-during-wwii-159354

Thank you Nancy. I just added a short addendum to the Substanck about calling it a blitzkrieg.
