Maximum allowable? I don't think he cares about what's allowed.

jrpage.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m sure this isn’t the first time he has paid them off, oops, I mean “made a donation.”

ma1kai.bsky.social•1 day ago

So that's why Sen. Blackburn was one of the first to thank mstr. Musk for "saving us."

shitocracy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. In the open, that's what he has done. But there are much greater prizes behind closed doors.

shitocracy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just imagine what riches he will give to Clarence Thomas when it reaches the Supreme Court.

pidxr.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is why elections should be publicly funded, free broadcast time could be slotted etc etc

Let musk spend it. In another week, tesla will be worthless.

well-read-rose.bsky.social•1 day ago

Someday this could be possible- as current SCOTUS dismantled respect for precedent.

cearthdog.bsky.social•1 day ago

A slow moving buyout for decades. Kompromat on Trump since the 90's; Rand Paul,Tulsi Gabbard,Ted Cruz, etc. Not sure where the proof is, but it's really obvious that Russian oligarchs, Federalists, and the the faux Christian nationalists have been at it for 20 plus years. Dam Putin and greed!

m4a1960.bsky.social•1 day ago

Legalized bribery from the SCOTUS in politics since 76,78 and 2010 has to end it goes beyond the legal limit in contributions !

It won’t be long until musk/doge decide that 2 1/2 million a year can be saved by defunding the Supreme Court! What the hell… They’re not needed anymore.

coastalrabbit.bsky.social•1 day ago

Haven’t most of them already been handpicked and bought already? I mean, isn’t how this bad behaviour keeps being allowed and unchecked?

I guess just like everything he and Dumpy do.. they are above the law! Why doesn't our government uphold the law and get rid of these morons ?? They are NOT above the law😡

Musk doesn’t have any allergies does he?

bentheamerican.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump, Putin’s puppet, proposed taking over Ukrainian power plants as "protection," claiming it would deter Russian attacks. Meanwhile, there’s a push for a partial ceasefire covering energy infrastructure. Who’s really calling the shots—Trump or Putin?

Elon Musk is a traitor. Elon has no loyalty to America.

If the Dems win, Elon will be living in Moscow on November 8, of 2028 to avoid arrest and prison. 🤔

jlseig.bsky.social•1 day ago

Musk should be thrown out of US! He wasn’t elected, is just instigating trouble wherever he goes, and has destroyed most of our govt.

well-read-rose.bsky.social•1 day ago

balsagna.bsky.social•1 day ago

He could donate eleventy billion dollars and it won’t change the fact that they don’t have the votes and never will. This is dipshittery of the highest order.

fresh33.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yay more people pussed off with him and Trump. Watch his shares drop more. Keep eroding his billions soon he won’t money to donate.

memebailey.bsky.social•1 day ago

Buy a Tesla and you have bought a politician.

augustagiulia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then Musk should be brought to bankruptcy so that he can no longer afford to bribe corrupt politicians. Obviously, speaking metaphorically. How do you bankrupt the wealthiest man in the world? I'm just asking.

well-read-rose.bsky.social•1 day ago

With Fairer Taxes…say…90%?

Because allowing multi-bazillionaires to coalesce power and throw their weight around like Godzilla blowing fire 🔥 🐉 into: “WE THE PEOPLE’s government” is not the solution deluded narcissist Elon in his evil mind thinks it is.

tmccaleb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Call it what it is… bribery!

sanovogo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Big money has thoroughly corrupted our political system. It’s no longer about good ideas and doing things that help the vast majority of the American people. Whether we want to admit it or not, money buys elections. We must start to mitigate the influence of money in our elections.

Hopefully Musk participates in RFK Junior’s health policies and gets bird flu and measles at the same time. Natural immunities exposure for Musk. Maybe add a dose of Covid at the same time too!

Musk is doing extreme Harm t millions of Americans-taking away their jobs, medical care, & to day he is laser focused on our social secutiy. That could actually lead to deaths of seniors.
He is evil & his actions are illegal.
You reap what you sow in life.

I am fairly sure that Musk is shoveling all kinds of ca$h into their political action committees and pet side projects.

You can safely bet that he's laughing his ass off at how cheap it is to purchase Republicans and through them, our country.

He should start pinching pennies if he wants to continue to impregnate random women. They aren't sleeping with him because of his looks or personality.

I don't think they're actually sleeping with to get pregnant. He would not have 13 children if they had to do that.
