Oligarch state capture

He bought a President.

And what ever happened with that case in PA where they were about to arrest Musk for election interference?!

elpoeta.bsky.social•79 days ago

It’s all whatevs

moldyteeth.bsky.social•78 days ago

And Musk should be held accountable to the penny for all the damage this incoming administration will do.

Surprised it wasn't more than$100 m

End Citizens United. I’ll never understand why no one did anything to protect us from Musk. Or Fox, or all the Russian influencers, etc.

annecj1.bsky.social•79 days ago

Donations to PACs, incentives to voters, even free advertising on Twitter…have all proven that money can buy an election. Seriously, how many more times can I see the Trump bobble head when I open my X app? #nauseating

calleycat.bsky.social•79 days ago

Looks like Trump is owned.

kimbermacv.bsky.social•79 days ago

At the end of the day does it really matter when the media and any elected officials do nothing about it? Y’all made a bigger deal whenever Biden tripped. Double standard on many levels.

faithwilson.bsky.social•78 days ago

Who the hell clicks on these social media ads? Are people that hard up for things to engage with? Ads for ordinary things are annoying enough. I move past them as fast as possible.

burtonad.bsky.social•78 days ago

One word: plunder.

etherialspirit.bsky.social•78 days ago

Why should we buy into the adolescent argument about how wealthy critters are? We know that $ does not buy integrity. So, who cares about a critters wealth?

How many have left X? How many more like me will be leaving?

But no different than Murdoch really, and he’s been doing it nonstop for over 10 years. Different medium, same crime.

$277 million

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•79 days ago

sooo... apparently that's all totally fine these days.

cool-summer-breeze.bsky.social•78 days ago

Musk didn't give....he bought, because Trump is for sale.

v-ron.bsky.social•79 days ago

💯

tommyhobbes.bsky.social•78 days ago

His net worth went way up after the election, so I guess that “donation” paid off.

imesoamericano.bsky.social•77 days ago

Trump overplayed his hand with a team of billionaires; if there is a revolution in America in 2025 it won’t be the one he thinks he’ll lead. The overpaid tax cheats, executive salaries are pure Gilded Age and any AI can tell you this won’t end well…for the 1%….

ramrca.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’ll invest
$300,000,000
For $1,000,000,000 all day every day. Their day behind bars will come.

Propoganda. Facist. Deplorables.

juakar.bsky.social•79 days ago

He bought the presidency we are truly a banana republic !

richardnoel.bsky.social•79 days ago

Seems cheap to get access to the largest military in the world. Our great country is being treated like a cheap trick under a bridge! We can do better than this!

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•79 days ago

Trump is bankrupt and goes though money like orange spray tan... He's obviously not interested in being POTUS as much as he is being out of prison with a lot of power to sell off.

geugenekrabs.bsky.social•79 days ago

When money talks truth goes silent.

That should be considered in kind donation and be reported on the campaign finance.

nanso44.bsky.social•79 days ago

Conned by theCONMAN?

auntpattywatty.bsky.social•79 days ago

What happens when the broromance breaks up. I say it will happen even before Trump is in the WH. What then? Will Musk turn on Trump? You know Trump will throw him under the bus.

kaikronfield.bsky.social•79 days ago

Makes everything feel like a farce

blainebmass.bsky.social•78 days ago

Putting a monetary value on Leon's mouthpiece, Bezo's Washington Post non-endorsement, stc. misses the point. Becoming transactional is the absence of ethics, the loss of empathy, unintentionally embracing the banality of evil.

Please

Do not monetize the absence of compassion

ayeeye-mindfuque.bsky.social•79 days ago

As a result of this malarky, we'll have a convicted felon who thinks he's the President, a V.P. who's supposed to be the real President (at least, that's the plan for 2025), and a billionaire fop who is the actual President (or so he believes). It's an Unholy Trinity of Delusional Thinking. Yay, us.

frankblaze.bsky.social•78 days ago

As the DNC and @kamalahqrepeater.bsky.social spent 1.5Billion (deficit 400K) while Trump spent 500K. So she outspent him and lost 7/7 battleground states, 4 Senators flipped but she flipped one whole House member. Good job Mamala.

bbeach.bsky.social•78 days ago

Even with the massive in-kind contributions on X, even with the $240 million otherwise documented, Elon bought the government cheap.

clutch22.bsky.social•78 days ago

They are ready for the biggest grift the world has ever seen.

What about the analytical data Musk could have supplied to the Trump campaign? This was literally a plot line in the ABC political drama, Scandal.

hari-tewari.bsky.social•78 days ago

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

god-of-abf.bsky.social•78 days ago

On November 5, 2024, America's voters, strongly voted FOR, corruption on a scale never before seen in U.S. politics (and don't forget that includes periods like Teapot Dome).

Don't like this?

You shouldn't have voted for Trump.
