How is this democracy? It ISN’T. It’s about power for the rich and the average person be damned. It’s about creating a government by the rich, for the rich and only the rich. It’s utterly corrupting and sinister.
Let him. The law of diminishing value reminds us that billionaire money eventually stops working. It collapses in on itself as voters recognize its fraudulence.
Democrats need only run ads alerting voters that that's what's happening. They'll take note.
This is what you get when you give Trump $100 million more (on top of previous $277 million “donations”):
You pay to play.
You get to “be president” and run the government when you legally can’t run for president because you aren’t a natural-born citizen, but still want the job. 🙃
Until the US finds a way to get rid of Citizens United there will be massive corruption and your politicians can be bought by the highest bidder. Who is not, by the way, the American public. Which means you are not a democracy, you are a plutocracy. This is what everyone should aim at.
Elon is feeling threatened by the negative press, vandalism, Telsa stock tanking, SpaceX blowing up. This is a feeble attempt to regain his sense of omnipotence. What he hasn't learned, he's only one person w/millions of $ up against millions of voters each with a vote. More he does,more he'll lose.
These past months feel like a Brinks truck crashed and the Trump admin is scrambling around, pushing each other and grabbing the dollar bills as fast as they can, stuffing them in their pockets, bras, boxer shorts, and every possible bodily oriface.
Am I the only one who thinks the reason Elon has all those kids is that he genetically engineered 12 little boys is because he might just have sex with little boys? Might just be me.
Russia now owns the USA. They want to annex Canada and Greenland to complete the takeover of the North American continent to the Mexican border. It doesn’t take a genius to understand this. Russia now owns Alaska.
Elon Musk has spent years ignoring his 14 kids. Suddenly he’s bringing the little dude with him everywhere. I’m trying to think of a description other than “human shield” but I’m struggling. That kid probably has access to all of our financial data too. Medicaid will be gutted to buy Pokemon cards
Johnson stresses Congress’s power over courts: We can eliminate an entire district court. We do have power over funding over the courts. But desperate times call for desperate measures. This is how the GOP intend to stay in power. Corruption on steroids. https://thehill.com/homenews/hou...
So now we know it costs 100 million to make the president sell cars for you on the lawn of the White House. Trump would get 10$ for a cameo before he ran for president and now his followers think he’s a god.
The question is why? He's already got Trump right where he wants him. Is this for daily Tesla giveaways in the WH rose garden? Each one signed by the giant sharpie? Or is it more nefarious than that?
He doesn’t keep doing this unless it’s paying off for him in gutting regulations affecting him, gaining endless access to Americans’ data, and terminating all investigations into his businesses.
He’s lost billions in Tesla and it’s still worth it.
Imagine what he’s getting.
What’s happening right in Washington DC with the White House becoming a car dealership & the media refusing to cover what looks like absolute insanity is just beyond belief.
Remember when Hunter Biden paid back a few thousand dollars for a car loan to his dad and the Republicans were screaming "corruption" for weeks (and amplified by a compliant press)?
Musk just bought a POTUS! now he wants a congress and senate. I mean, HELL! He almost has it all already. Shouldn't take a hundred mil to buy the rest of these cowards.
Citizens Inited strikes again.
Fuck this outright buying of our political system & put in some real campaign finance laws with caps on the funding of any candidate by whatever means.

Especially now

The very people that bash immigrants are allowing a corrupt immigrant to destroy our country from the top down.
And btw, it was Trump who made the truck crash.
Republicans tried to make a scandal out of Bill Clinton's friends spending the night in the Lincoln bedroom.
Etc.
Ok I’m on board. 🤔
Because they linked that to the IRS data and rechecked the $3 contribution button.
Oh wait, they’re the same thing now

Mr Musk is very close to having to put up additional collateral for his loans.
Poor kid 🥹

And most of us already knew Musk would be pumping big money into wherever trump needs it politically.
They’re no better than any corrupt 3rd world nation Supreme Court.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m waiting for definitive action that puts this jerk and doge delinquents in jail. Enough damage to America.

Good thing Trump’s no good at math.
But maybe not
