You're viewing a single thread.
It's crazy that these politicians can just make wild claims without providing a shred of evidence. The just get to "dismiss."
Stop that, please.
Musk is not a politician.
Do not normalize this by even referring to him as such. He has never held elected office.
He's an oligarch interfering in politics. That makes him a politician, as well as an asshole.
He's more than qualified. All you need to be a politician in America is capital. The actual law is typically sidestepped in favor of monetary gain. How is this any different than our usual goings-on? This is the most American thing that's happened in years.
You're still pretending the law and constitution mean a damn thing in practice. They're gonna roll it up and smoke it next year.
The guy is absolutely an unelected politician. He's Trump's puppeteer and will be using his money to get what he wants.
