I am hijacking this thread to bring to your attention that Musk just admitted he rigged the election and the week is not even over yet.
Edit Yes, commentators, I stand by what I said. Axios would not frame it as "nuclear" if he merely meant he poured millions into the elections. His statement "Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate." is oddly specific, isn't it.
Oh come on. Saying "Without me, he would have lost" if far from admitting he rigged the election. If he did, an admission would need to be more specific. That being said, Musk is a Nazi incel POS.
He's just playing politics about as well as he plays Diablo.
He's actually saying: "I will admit to fucking up this election - DJT is in the Epstein files - admitting to that is proof I'll say more if my unspecified demands aren't met."
He's playing political tough guy and threatening the administration by revealing how powerless they are without him. (Which is made funnier in that he has none, just money).
We need the media to question if he really helped trump so he spitefully says something condemning.
Yep. When he talked about buying Twitter, the courts took him to his word and forced him to proceed. The US media might not have the same power as the courts, but t's a pity they don't attack him more.
What to watch: "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?" Musk asked in a poll of his millions of loyal X followers.
Um, in the ..middle? What middle?
Middle like MAGA (who put nazis to shame)? Middle like the dark enlighment (a reactionary movement)? Middle like the AFD (the German neonazi party)?
I am fucking losing it rn, Elmo thinks he is a fucking Centrist. Now I have seen in all.
Elmo is a cyberpunk fan so I bet he sees himself as either the Executive-King of a corporate nation state or at least some CEO for life of a Western Zaibatsu.
"Without me he would have lost" isn't the reveal we were looking for.
Unfortunately dropping hundreds of millions in ad money isn’t rigging the election, it’s just a normal US election where mainstream media is incentivized to prop up establishment political figures as legitimate. All so the politicians can return that investment 100x in tax cuts and special contracts, by robbing the rest of America of everything.
Thank citizens united for this, not eloNazi.
P sure he's talking about the optics of him supporting Trump and the piles of cash he donated to the campaign, rather than any sort of illegal election rigging.
this is one of those things i suspect is true anyway but this is less than convincing.
to save everyone a click, the relevant line in the article (and it feels generous to call this an article) reads:
Elon Musk declared all-out war on President Trump Thursday, writing on X: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."
the fact that he's so specific is very suggestive but this is not a smoking gun. he's unstable and on tons of drugs and really pissed off, nothing he says necessarily means anything.
the rest of the "article" is just various other elon tweets and bits of context.
also "going nuclear" is just typical bombastic headline language for "throwing a public hissy fit", i wouldn't put any particular stock in their word choice. you're going waaay out on a limb here.
again, i'm in the "the election was sus and fucky" camp too. if he shows receipts i'm all ears.
What a tease!
