After initially downplaying the vote’s importance, the world’s richest man was quick to promote accusations of electoral fraud.
Summary
Elon Musk, after spending $21 million backing conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, amplified election fraud claims following Schimel’s loss to liberal judge Susan Crawford.
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone, who alleged mail-in vote fraud. Schimel rejected the claims, urging supporters to accept the results.
Musk pivoted to highlighting a voter ID ballot measure, though Wisconsin already requires ID. Critics see his reaction as echoing Trump-era denialism.
Despite GOP pressure, Schimel’s concession stood out for its rare break from MAGA conspiracy rhetoric.
Remember folks: its always projection with these fucks. This means they are doing this but it didn't work. And I'm not talking about the millions this dipshit lost.
Poor Musk was robbed, he was promised that if he paid generously, the election result would be guaranteed. In the end he was cheated, it's unfair.
Cry, Cry, crocodile tears. 😭
Unfortunately, the art community is still big. No other platform has as much engagement with small time artists. I use it just for that. Sometimes Ill get curious and see political tweets. They're almost always filled to the brim with comments spouting: hate, disinformation or deflection. You'll see sane comments but the algorithm buries them. I'm sure most are bots but the nazi-ism is definitely boosted.
I've made accounts on bsky, pixelfed and cara and post there also. Unfortunately the masses haven't moved to those yet so commissions and posts are sparse.
Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.
Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn't be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)
Well, I mean he had an entire security detail deputized by the US Marshalls....so it's not like he's just walking out in the open. The guy surrounds himself with sycophants and other billionaires, it's the only way to completely isolate yourself from reality.
I don't think he's really made an actual public appearance since being booed on stage at that chapel show, and that was by people going to see an unfunny transphobe.
"I WASNT ABLE TO BUY THIS ELECTION DESPITE MY VAST WEALTH, SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE ELSE BOUGHT THIS ELECTION AND STOLE IT WITH THEIR VAST WEALTH, ITS THE ONLY CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY I COULD POSSIBLY LOSE!"
This is a guy who wants to blame the world for his botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ.
No wonder he hates trans people so much.
No wonder he has so many ivf babies with multiple women.
No wonder he wants to experiment on unwilling human subjects in El Salvador until he can get the neuralink chip to work (he wants to be able to push a button to get off. He has been waiting years for his tantric release. There is no other way)
botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ
I keep hearing this around here. Is there any actual reason to think it's true?
Even if the bit about the surgery is true, it's a very reductive explanation of issues which clearly aren't new in his life. He was brought up by far-right parents and his father apparently showed him no love. He has been poisonously insecure all his life, only now he has the power to inflict his psychological troubles on the world. Ever since he got financially lucky in the 1990s, he has had the money to buy influence and pay people to do what he wants, so he has never become equipped to deal with people as equals and has all kinds of issues and insecurities around power. He discovered early that, while he had trouble making friends, he could make an impression on people by being edgy and controversial, and has never managed to move beyond this into a more mature persona.
I feel like saying "it's all because of his wonky penis" trivializes how profoundly this man's life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche. It also implicitly insults anyone else who doesn't have "normal" genitalia.
Space Nazi abuses ketamine- that’s an established fact. And ketamine abuse can do horrible things to your urogenital tract. So it might not be botched gender affirming surgery that is his pee pee problem, but ketamine side effects.
how profoundly this man’s life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche.
Why should we give a single fuck? This guy lies, cheat and sayd himself he thinks empathy is a weakness. Why should have any towards him. He calls everyone he disagree losers, called my prime minister "girl" and openly makes nazi salutes, and you want us to play the "Tell me about chilhood Elon" card? He's a little narcissist privilege bitch who's been exploiting people all his life, and I will be happy to take a piss on his grave. And I have no doubt the size of his dick (it's obviously tiny) is one of the reasons he want's to make the world suffer.
I looked into it a week or two ago and couldn't find any definitive evidence. It seems plausible because Musk is well known for being into plastic surgery and IVF, but other than a musician who knows Grimes publicly claiming that Grimes confirmed it to them, I didn't see anything that looked convincing.
At this point, I don't see how we can ever trust conservative again. They kept showing they won't play by any rules, they are willing to lie, cheat and manipulate to get what they want. The left needs to radicalize his actions, you cannot negotiate with cheaters.
JFC, Conservatives have NEVER played by the rules others made. The central tenet of Conservative is that there is an in group (Conservatives) which the law protects but does not bind and an out group which the law binds but does not protect.
There is a difference between being a shitty person and a hypocrite. I thought most republicans (the voters not the politicians mind you) were simply misinformed and that they really did think that what they were doing was for improving the country. After Trump I no longer think that is the case.
OF COURSE it was. Nobody would legitimately not sleep with Musk, I mean not want to be his daughter, I mean, not vote the way he dictated unless there was outside influence.
He and Trump and GOP aren't petty there. They inject more distrust about the whole idea of voting. Rich people and corporation can lobby, but they still can't directly buy an election or a cabinet seat in the open. They spend a lot to push up some candidate after ensuring their loyalty, and it seems suboptimal to them. There is a golden moment where you probably can game the system to make max profits and then grab the bag and run. Because democracies are at least stable, and when they roll into dictatorships, you stop playing solitaire, it's now blackjack and you are walking a thin line between bankruptcy and being shot dead by a firing squad, because your elected politician has too much power to be securely bought.
I feel like it's disproportionally favors developing startups\companies\scams who need some boost to start to break even, or old blood that can tolerate some pain if they may consume every other actor on the scene.
There are benefactors to that, and they are the worst people on the market who would only accelerate the collapse for their short term gains.
