A billionaire telling ordinary people to vote for policies so HE can amass more wealth at OUR expense should be laughably ridiculous. Yet here we are. I'm so grateful cooler heads prevailed.
This would be a good moment for the DA in Wisconsin to arrest Musk for his attempt to buy the election, now that Musk's invincibility is broken and he can no longer claim his arrest is a stunt to swing the election.
Small "d" democracy won and Leon Skum lost. Red-as-hell Florida districts swung left by double digits. Huge day for the right (vs. wrong). Awful day for the right (vs. left)
Some reports are saying that his pants and underwear fell down and everyone saw his horrible botched penis and laughed at him. Also there was an audible slide whistle noise as his pants fell down.
I suspect the lesson he will draw from this is that we still have too much democracy and also he and his crack team need to take over all the computers used by state election officials to keep them safe.
Elon is doing a lot of losing this year to date. Lost over a hundred billion dollars in personal wealth. His brand is death toxic. Tesla is losing market share on a daily basis.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer man.
Yes, but it’s basically putting in the state’s Republican-passed 2011/2012 voter ID law into the state constitution.
Unfortunately, when people are used to doing something for a long time without trouble for themselves, they get used to it being a requirement and support it applying to others.
I love to vote for "Do you think candy and puppies and kittens are good" and it turns out I voted to give every cop in the county a live rabid dog. It's great.

I mean, if he wants to buy influence, he could have just started handing out 100k checks to random people. He has plenty of wealth for it. My souls for sale.
Yeah, he did. Who knew that having a decent, sane judge that follows the law would be worth more to people than a check for a million dollars from Musk?
Voter ID was already law. All this did was alter the constitution - and it can be either altered back or effort can be made to get voter ID into all Wisconsin residents' hands.
Musk on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race: “I feel like this is one of those things that may not seem that it’s going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will.”
He lost this one, but it’s important to understand the fork in the road Musk decided to take us down two years ago.
He would have gotten that regardless of Elon or not, WI is a blue state effectively but barely. I think Elon ended up scoring more D votes out of anger.
His grotesque antics drove voter turnout & our neighbor can take down his 3 Schimel signs now. 🧀
Locally we elected a young mayor & impressive group of school board members. 🙂 #wisco #rivertown
It suddenly dawns on me that maybe Booker deliberately timed his filibuster ending to coincide with the WI election outcome. High risk but high reward: Really gives the impression of “momentum” when both hit.
Of course. And he didn't do it by himself. He was supported by the other Dems. You should give these Dems in the Senate and the House some credit for knowing what the fuck they're doing.

More people now hate him and it puts a smile on my face.
Feels pretty good for once.

Wisconsin voters take exception to Nazis trying to buy elections.
E.g., Michigan elected both a Democratic senator and the racist, rapist gameshow host in 2024.

Such financial waste, thank god he knows how to handle such things🤣

There is a shift happening. Resistance works. We can protect and reclaim democracy.
All we have to do is try.
Every state capital should be surrounded on April 5. Let your colors fly!

Sure, Elon’s a loser. But he still has tons of griftable money.
