Reminds me of 193 AD, when Didius Julianus bought the Roman Empire for 225 million sesterces (equivalent to a few hundred million $$ today). He was emperor for 66 days before being abandoned by the Pretorian Guard he had paid off and killed by order of the Senate.
EXACTLY. He didn’t care WHAT he had to do to get into the White House & get that “get out jail free card”. He sold America, and now the US citizens will pay…ALL citizens EXCEPT the ultra-wealthy. Horrifying situation we’re in, and how do we stop this catastrophe? My God.
🆘 Anti-MAGA Americans are crying, we are sorry and ashamed and we are feeling powerless. We are organizing though, we know we must fight back against the trump/Musk regime. Please wish us strength and bravery against the fascist takeover. 💔🇺🇸😢
Elon bought the White House; a supine, groveling Congress; and the corrupt Supreme Court for a mere quarter-billion. Cheap! Twitter cost him $44 billion, most of which he borrowed from the Saudis.
It’s becoming clearer every day that the real struggle isn’t between the left and the right; it’s between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else. It’s time to focus on the oligarchs vs. the people, because that’s where the real battle lines have been drawn.
Seems to me you could argue it was baked into the price he paid for Twitter. Want to control the US government? Buy Twitter first. You can even get the Saudis to float you a couple billion if they understand the real goal.
Of course he paid less for the whole of America than he paid for Twitter! And from the Master Deal Maker IDIOT himself! He sold the country for a song and all so he would keep his fat shitty arse out of prison!! That’s how much he valued America, America! You all fucking idiots!!
I think it was combined cost really. What's really scary is that he was able to win an election just by buying twitter and making it more rightwing, and a big part of how he did it was by demoderating racism and scammers which basically combined those forces in an effort to elect trump
Ugh the first day of this, Chad, I calculated my worth as a twittizen versus my worth as an American and I was worth literally 5x more for... Having a Twitter account.
Check out how much democrats and republicans get from big donors. They’re even cheaper. Christ sakes, can’t believe how they have bamboozled all of us. Time to burn this fucker down
It’s always been known how cheap it is to buy an individual lawmaker. Like for $5k you can basically get a US rep to rhetorically suck your dick on the house floor. What we didn’t know was that there’s a package bundle where you get the whole government.
Can we agree exec pay is GROSSLY disproportionate to the contributions they make? Boards that approve exec pay packages that yield a payout of $50B r incompetent, take from shareholders & contribute to making an obscenity that uses that wealth to destroy r system of checks & balances to prevent this
Another perspective is--US voters freely gave away r democracy because they: didn't care, know or believe; or were in agreement, jealous of others, racist, brain-washed and/or desire anarchy. All these are despicable & unAmerican. When dust settles, we'vea lot of introspection to do. Who are we now?
Pretty sure it was a package deal. A partnered capture of market share so that Truth Social and X can be the duopoly of American “Patriot” information sharing. Zuck, Bezos and Google/Alphabet were already playing along.
And Netflix is now live streaming WWE (Linda McMahon) so they won’t be hard to wrangle into the fold entirely. Soon we’ll see Prager U and TPUSA rallies filling slots on there.
With the 400 million State Department cyber truck contract, we are actually paying him to take it. It's gonna be a hell of a thing if we just paid the richest dude in the world to trash our government like a bunch of old tires.
I'm really hoping Canada takes our fuck up to heart and blocks Elon from doing business in their country. The worst consequences from letting him buy the US have barely started.
It might seem like he’s in charge.
I assure you though the people with actual power are looking at him and thinking ‘how do we get the money and get rid of him’.
Uneasy lies the head..

Who paid off Robert’s court to weaken the way???
Someone needs to find the dirt of Robert’s!!!!
You should look it up, lot happening over there.
You want to look for these numbers, in this order: 2025
I don't think we're going to like it.
4 US investment banks are the top 5 owners
Musk paid less than oil companies did to buy the last 4 elections.
That's less that 1%

Not to mention literally owning the Oval Office.

Wait until he find out how much members of congress took to sell us out.
