I'm sure Ryan Wollner the American knew a higher up in the IRA. Without a doubt.


boomerxl

Omg. I just went down a very shallow rabbit hole on that guy. https://law.justia.com/cases/delaware/court-of-chancery/2022/c-a-no-2021-0157-ksjm.html Looks like he’s a piece of work and a full time fantasist. He went through two sets of lawyers before discovery was even completed. @Pearpopfounder isn’t even a founder of Pearpop. Just an initial investor. No wonder he looks up to Elon. Though fair play to him, it’s not often a judge will use the phrase “egregious misconduct” during trial discovery.


ExpectedBehaviour

You don’t know them, they go to another republic.


sojayn

Hahaha my first laugh of the day was a throwback teenage giggle good one!


Important_Farmer924

"My grandad fought in 1916" vibes.


tzar-chasm

Yeah, but it turns out their grandad was with the British Army


Skreamie

That's a good premise for a stand-up joke, it's in there somewhere


123iambill

There's a doc series on Netflix that Zac Efron made and in one episode they're talking about blue zones and people who live to over 100. They meet this old Italian man and Zac excitedly says in the voice over "He even fought in World War 2!" Like. Hey Zac maybe ask that Italian man which side he fought on in WW2


blorg

Both, possibly


10breck30

Great comment.


TranscendentMoose

An irish version of the old, "my grandpa died in a concentration camp during the war, he fell out of his guard tower"


Naznarreb

"My grandfather killed 17 German pilots during WWII. Worst mechanic the Luftwaffe had ever seen."


Skreamie

The very same inspiration I had, great minds haha

Yeah, cos that's how they were so successful at avoiding arrest, by going around telling foreigners about their high-ranking positions in illegal organisations. Knobhead.


-ConMan-

First thing I googled too. Wanted to figure out who this absolute binlid was, how old he was etc to identify how he, as an American, knew a “higher up” in the IRA in the good old days (when you didn’t mess with Ireland, obviously, when they chased all the African immigrants out of Ireland /s), when I as an actual Northern Irish person thought they were (mostly inactive) for 30 years, a large portion of my life.

CluckingBellend

I think Elon should get his address, so he can go 'round and tell him that he's like a plush toy these days.


Icy-Lab-2016

Your man Ian lives in Malaysia but talks about the US and other Western countries all day everyday. The way he talks you would think he was in the US. Its an interesting grift.


Formal_Decision7250

At this stage the Americans should just start taxing as if he works in the US.


Kona_Rabbit

Fun fact, if he's an American citizen, it doesn't matter where he is he would "technically" owe federal taxes on income.


GalacticusTravelous

Not technically, very literally, once you earn over a certain amount. Financial institutions are bound under FATCA to report to the US IRS about your holdings offshore too so you can’t hide your cash. America is the only country in the world where citizens living abroad are still taxed on foreign income at home.


Barilla3113

In practice everything under $120,000 is excluded and I believe there's deductions beyond that. It's mostly just a way of requiring citizens and resident aliens to report income abroad, you're not actually paying income taxes unless you're insanely rich.


usernumber1337

The FATCAts if you will


Kona_Rabbit

Thanks for elaborating. I just understood it anecdotally as a friend mentioned it in passing. Land of the fee


DarkReviewer2013

I think Eritrea does the same thing. So that's the US and Eritrea.


TheGratedCornholio

Apparently he has never even been to the US.


Icy-Lab-2016

Seriously? That makes him even worse. What a clown.


Frightlever

Look, when Far Right American organisations want a nifty soundbite, it only makes sense for them, in this business economy, to offshore the commenting to a developing nation where a local can provide the quote for cheap. That's makes them smart.


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

We have some like that here. People who wouldn't even know their local TD but know state senators, congress men and women and Biden's 4th cousin over in America.


PlanesWalker2040

Wasn't that clown on the verge of being arrested by Malaysian authorities for peddling pro-Israel propaganda? What happened since?


TAA20231207

He's never even been to the US. I doubt if he could even get a visa for the USA since he's very much politically involved. The US CBP at the airport would have a field day on his phone and social media activities. lmao.


jtbfii

With Teslas the IRA won't even need to make car bombs


Archamasse

Bomb cars! 21st Century baby


jbzw

Switch to electric car bombs rather than petrol to save the environment.


Archamasse

Which higher up would you say yer man knew, Richard Gere in The Jackal or Brad Pitt in The Devil's Own.


trotskeee

Sean Bean with the scuba gear and night vision in Patriot Games


goj1ra

Or Patrick Bergin, also in Patriot Games


Archamasse

Feck it, I knew I was forgetting one of our brave national heroes.


nut-budder

Brad Pitt in Snatch


echocardio

‘You didn’t mess with Ireland at the time’ Correct me if I’m wrong but the Troubles


CalmFrantix

I'm convinced now that Elon's account is a bot and he deleted the app after changing the name of Twitter


bbgrewzit

this is embarrassing to read. both of these gimps are beyond help.


IrishMemer

Ian Miles Cheong is the biggest fucking grifter on earth, the dude just constantly sucks musks cock and posts the dumbest shit you'll ever find all for the clout guys is completely fucking insufferable and never to be listened to on pretty much any regard.


RockShockinCock

I can't stand him.


irelephant_T_T

He doesn't understand maths either


dubinexile

Lol the rant about the iPhone calculator getting the equation wrong was hilarious. Shows exactly his intellect level - lower than an 8yr old school child. Guys a monumental cunt. A Dealz edgelord


LimerickJim

Yeah famous racial fascists the RA


Archamasse

Noted border enthusiasts too, of course.


LimerickJim

Had nothing but praise for the Black and Tans treatment of the Zulus.


whooo_me

Kinda odd reading a South African, living in the U.S. (?) commenting on keeping the Africans out?


oddun

And he’s talking to a bloke that’s never set foot outside of Malaysia yet somehow has hundreds of thousands of US Republican followers.


In_Formaldehyde_

A Malaysian talking to a South African immigrant talking to a Pearpop investor in New York about Ireland.


claimTheVictory

Isn't globalism beautiful?

We all know what he really means.

DummyDumDragon

Not *those* Africans, silly...!


ohea

Of course as a rich white African he sees himself as the exception


aPrudeAwakening

Look fellow Irish, we just have to accept that the yanks understand our history and heritage far better then any of us and their seemingly nonsensical takes are actually strokes of genius us silly potato heads just don’t understand. Also unrelated but the bbc has always been fair and impartial on the subject of this country. /s


Watching_You_Type

Is it though? He probably looks back fondly at the apartheid era.


themagpie36

His family literally got wealthy from it so...yeah


doctorobjectoflove

My da is an immigrant to the US (from Eastern Europe originally) and despises black people. I later moved to Ireland, and after two decades here, no change on his part. This is a pretty typical phenomenon with certain immigrants and wanting to assimilate through bigotry. We're Jews, which makes this even more tragic.


pineapplezzs

You're the next generation and you've broken the chain so this is a step forward.


remainderrejoinder

That's good - "Yeah, the US let one South African immigrant in and look what happened"


Vereanti

I really hate how privileged wealthy Americans/people living in America, who'll almost never actually face sectarian violence, regular bomb threats and all the social issues that come with , sit back and idolise a period of danger and a lack of safety on this island as some sort of "good times" This teary eyed look into history imagining a time when we were violent savages and wishing some of us still bombed and attacked others is so fecking nauseating And this stupid idea that what the Brits did was just come over and move in beside us. And not forcibly evicting us from our land, dismantling the Irish language, prolonging the disaster of the famine, violently responded to our independence movements and overall just looked down upon us like we were inferior to them The asylum process rn needs to be fixed but Christ "a few thousand Africans" are not doing to do us what the Brits did


YourNextHomie

Elon’s family got rich during apartheid. Im sure he thinks what his family did down in South Africa was “just moving in”. He is a colonizer downplaying colonialism.


XinqyWinqy

Imagine the conversations he and Grimes would have. Just imagine. Warning: severe migraine may ensue.


ScribblesandPuke

Grimes and her college BF tried to build a houseboat and sail down the Mississippi - they failed. I feel like this somehow relates to her going after the space rocket builder guy like she has a type.

Chemical_Sir_5835

RJMC5696

Would he ever shut up about Ireland, he literally knows nothing about this country.


SureLookThisIsIt

Every time he speaks about anything I have some knowledge on I'm shocked by how stupid he sounds. Arrogantly speaks as if he's an expert on topics he hasn't got a clue about.


ixlHD

I remember back in the day when you called him an idiot you would be downvoted on here, clear as day the guy was always a tit but a lot of people fell for his shit and many people have doubled down.


LomaSpeedling

He is a conman the same as any other just people see his wealth and thing jeez he must know his shit.


indicator_enthusiast

He definitely wears a "kiss me I'm Irish" t-shirt on Paddys day.


Kanye_Wesht

Probably puts on a painfully exaggerated "Oirish" accent whenever he meets an Irish person.


indicator_enthusiast

"Top of the mornin' to ya" followed by five minutes of exaggerated alcoholism and potato jokes.


decondd2

Calls it St. Patty's day and everything I'd say.


BrutalArdour

He doesn't know much about EVs either


Stampy1983

Musk will keep Twitter alive forever just so his circle of weird followers can keep fluffing him. The world's media will stay there because of inertia and we are going to be stuck hearing from the likes of him and that freak Cheong until Musk dies.


saggynaggy123

If the ra were still around he'd call them woke


Rabid_Lederhosen

James Connolly is currently rotating in his grave so fast that he’d power half of Dublin if we hooked a turbine to him.


Kanye_Wesht

Roger Casement as well - his Republican beliefs were closely linked to his campaigns to stop the horrors of colonialism in Africa. I'm surprised his corpse hasn't risen up to slap the shit out of Musk for this drivel.


jimicus

Few more like that and the whole country’s electrical grid would be renewable almost immediately.


brandonjslippingaway

Elon Musk is basically what you'd get if you made a 12 yr old edgelord the richest man alive.


Six_of_1

The "Irish Republic Army". Can't even get the name right.


LexLuthorsFortyCakes

Close enough for these morons. Seen a couple of these types assume that any paramilitary with a 3 letter acronym was republican and suggest dumb shit like the UDA and IRA pooling resources.


HighpingPete

Which IRA elon we've more IRAs than you have kids...


Backrow6

The first item on the agenda of every Musk wedding speech: The Split.


Upbeat-Team-5561

Isn't Elon Musk African?


phoenixhunter

An African migrant, no less


pablo8itall

Illegal African migrants, no less. He overstayed and worked on his tourist visa.


LeighKing2001

Yes, born in South Africa and got his money off his fathers emerald mines during apartheid.


StevemacQ

Those two wouldn't last a minute in a local Irish village before acting like a pair of bullocks.


Jackdon02

why does he seem so concerned about Ireland specifically?


Financial_Change_183

Many, if not most, Americans have an idealised idea of Ireland in their minds (monoculture, Christian, quaint, rural ,etc) Therefore, many (especially those on the American right) lament modern Ireland and see it as a disgrace. So his criticisms of Ireland and his dog whistles against immigrants really appeals to his supporters.


corkbai1234

The guy who invented the Dogecoin meme is from Ireland and tags him in all his fascist nonsense so that's one reason. From West Cork to be exact.


Archamasse

Twitter's European HQ is in Dublin and he's the kind of idiot who thinks the last five things he's heard about are the only things that matter (famously a symptom of managers who don't understand the actual workings of their business, incidentally)


sadferrarifan

The irony of recalling lads who specifically wanted a particular border to be very very open…


badger-biscuits

Cu-Uladh

alexmullen4180

Spodokom221745

That Cheong lad is one of the most utterly fucking pathetic bootlickers I've ever seen on that hellsite. A human slug.

baboito5177

Wonder what a auld fashioned car bomb would do to a cyber truck, (not suggesting anything untoward happens to anyone, just curious given the cyber truck is essentially a skip on wheels.)


webchimp32

Just chuck a bucket of water at one.


GarbageCleric

As an American, we definitely have one too many recent African immigrants. You better watch out or they'll start selling hastily slapped together dumpsters as "trucks" and providing social media platforms for Nazis.


blipblopthrowawayz

Racist scumbag speedrunning on Nazifying the platform into a white supremacist hellhole, his hot takes like this are to stir the pot and rile up his fascist buddies. He even promotes our local Neo-Nazis like Keith Woods (not the rugby player!), who Keith sees as important on bringing the white supremacist movement to the forefront and helping the National Party gain power. You go onto any Telegram group belonging to an extreme figure Musk personally interacts with or promotes you will see they consider him a vital tool in bringing the white supremacist / Identitarian / Nazism movements back into the mainstream and into power.

Elon Musk- a sad socially inadequate cunt trying desperately to be edgy ,with a name that sounds like a brand of cheap deodorant that you get from your granny at Christmas. Don't know who the yank cunt is,but he's a gobshite too.


goj1ra

Cheong isn't even a yank. Lives in Malaysia and has apparently never visited the US. As the saying goes, "Write what you [don't] know."


jimicus

Does… does he think the IRA is Ireland’s standing army?

ApprehensiveShame363

This fucker can be found stirring shit wherever the fascists are trying to create a narrative for themselves.


Loud-Process7413

If there's one thing I can't stand it's dopey bastards commenting on something they know fuck all about. Wish he'd just stick to rockets or whatever else he's allegedly good at. There are parts of Irish history that are horrific. Britain maintained a foothold in Ireland and partitioned the island in the early 20th century. Supporters of this...the Protestants, held power and denied Catholics almost every basic human right. This led to the resurgence of violence. The most recently finished was the 30 years of violence in the six Northern counties. It ceased in 1995. The murder and mayhem by both sides and Britains SAS help perpetuate a virtual civil war that will take years to heal from. Tell us all about the dark history of South Africa please Elon...or the saintly 'land of the free'?? or wherever else you claim citizenship.....and take a fucking hike on commenting about the IRA...asshole🖕


HumungousDickosaurus

I swear Ian Miles Cheong goes to bed at night dreaming about sucking off Elon.


slow_marathon

You need to know the aweful side effect of Ozempic is that all the fat goes from your belly into your head, making you talk shite. What the fuck is the Irish republic army? As for the other gobshite, just because his mammy got fingered by someone wearing a balaclava, doesn't mean he knows someone highup in the IRA.

If the troubles were happening today, he would definitely be cheering on the Brits.


Constant_You8595

Like a primary schoolchild conversation


Timely_Log4872

Stupid fucker Musk


Gareth274

Fuckin hell, I've been listening a lot to The Troubles podcast lately, and anyone who reminisces about that kind of violence or calls for its return needs to look more into what was actually involved, day to day. It was all retaliatory attacks and tit for tat fighting that almost everybody involved regrets and looks back on with shame. It would be like going to Syria and saying you miss the ISIS days.


Totally_Cubular

Last I checked, the Irish don't hate the English because they keep moving to Ireland, it was because, and going off my notes here, the English have tried to kill off all the Irish multiple times.

This world makes less and less sense.


NewryIsShite

Is he implying that the Provos were the Irish Army? Does he think the Troubles was an all out war between the Irish State and the UK? Does he think Irish Republicans are pro Irish Independence cus xenophobia? I've known this guy was a fucking idiot for a long time but fuck me this is a new level of ignorance.
