For years the right has fed on conspiracy theories about the “globalist billionaire” Soros buying our democracy. Yet when Musk actually does it, it’s crickets.

Quick question : Why exactly isn't George Soros copying Musk and offering the exact same ? Just to make the Repubs swallow their ties trying to justify one and not the other.
Along with that same thought Mr. Takei, the way the GunBros rally around the Second Amendment and the need for arms... this is the government they should have been fighting against. Isn't it terrifying how easy it is to take over the U.S.?
Blatant, open, unashamed corruption and bribery and many Americans think this is normal and acceptable because money is EVERYTHING. Such decrepit shitty values.
That mook at Fox Jesse Kelley in his stupid Anti Communist manifesto book is a 300 pg fever dream of (I think the left does this therefore the right will do it out in the open)
The fact that Muskolini proudly gloats about buying a person's vote is fucking disturbing. If there's not a law against that, there fucking needs to be.
Evidence? His donations are public: $32 million to Democratic-aligned groups in 2016 alone, per FEC records. The conspiracy vibe comes from exaggeration—claims he’s single-handedly rigging elections or destabilizing nations, often with little proof beyond his money trail.
As ever, the hypocrisy is a feature. It's not that they think Soros buying democracy is "wrong" it's that they were simply jealous they didn't have their own billionaire to warp politics the way they liked.
This really falls on the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission. It’s legal to buy elections. This ruling desperately needs to be overturned so that elections are based on votes not dollars.
He's not paying them to vote. That would be illegal. It's not illegal to have your name entered into a drawing if you sign a petition. Apparently the candidate can't even get on the ballot without buying signatures. Is it a good thing? No, and that's why the good guys can't go to the dark side.
The original post was a felony, they have already said they would block any payments. Elon needs some positive punishment to curb those unwanted behaviors. :)
It would be poetic justice if in every important vote from now onwards, there would be rumors of Elon's dark money going around to bribe officials, buying off the media and of course all the paid protester and bought vote stuff, too.
Unfortunately, nobody is going do anything about Musk until that pillar of the American government is gone or in his pocket. Take heart he’s not only singling out the US, he’s having a stab at France, Germany and the UK as well.
What is ridiculous about the on going stupidity of it is George Soros is only worth $7.2 Billion. You can Google his net worth.
I say "only" because most of Trump's cabinet picks have more than that. Musk's worth almost 50× that and is openly using his money to buy elections.
They endlessly project.
So the roots of the Soros thing is because he bought a bunch of radio stations to have political talking points. They were left leaning talking points and this apparently made a lot of the GOP mad.
I’m still patiently waiting for my check from Soros. Any day now! Holding my breath until then.
All projection. Sinclair is way more prolific, and purely propaganda lies and narratives.
The part that really shows their stupidity is their Christianity. If Jesus did exist, he would be a liberal.
Totally agree it’s projection. It’s the GOPs mantra to point out the flaws and then do it 100x worse. It’s trying to invalidate issues, like impeachment, so the words have no meaning.
And OMG Republican Jesus is not the teachings of the gospel! I could go off for days about this but I’ll spare you
It was never about the money or corruption, it was always performative outrage directed at democrats. The charges of hypocrisy are meaningless to people with no ethics or morals. You can't shame them into better behavior.
If people actually think he is giving that money away rather than to carefully vetted persons who will not take the money then they are pretty dumb...oh what am I saying we already know they are....
Because the greedy and corrupt will always project their lies on any adversary against them, knowing that they always had a plan for the rich to surpass in this country and rule like dictators and tyrant
Hmmmmm….. can you say #FAKE RIGGED?

“The recipient of Elon's first $1 million check in Wisconsin, Nicholas Jacobs, has the same name and looks very similar to the chairman of the Wisconsin College Republicans.”
A bunch of Democratic billionaires should do it for the Dem candidate. It would show the ridiculousness of a half dozen billionaires giving out millions and get people to actually stop it.
Low IQ People will accept hypocrisy as their way of accepting a twisted reality. They come from the world of do as I say not do as I do. When they know they do wrong they just don't care especially when they know they can get away with it. We now see this daily in the present administration.🤫

It’s too late we have no laws and guard rails at this point. My only question now is WHY THE HELL ISN’T GEORGE SOROS DOING THIS??? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!
So if they are “spokespeople” do they need to claim these checks as taxable income? And if so…they are in for a big surprise when they owe upwards of $100,000 in taxes next year
They are the party of "Do as I say, not as I do."
They don't care about women's sports or health. They don't care about election security. They don't care about trans people. They don't care about immigrants undocumented or otherwise. They only care about what can be used as a lever or a club.
Everytime the right complains, or accuses the left of something they are telling in themselves. Because it is always what they will do if given the opportunity.
Yes. That's why people need to stop using the hypocrisy card. It's like fighting fire using gasoline, it doesn't help, it just makes them more powerful.
They need to run an ad. Having musk saying he's giving away the money and then having his lawyer say no. That's a lie, these are paid spokespeople ,in court
The most ridiculous aspects of that conspiracy theory is that Soros isn't even one of the top ten big political donors when it comes to American politics.
Musk was also one of the top ten biggest donors to both parties in 2024 and so far in 2025 election.
He currently is the biggest donor, number 1.
This is on top of the fact that the only way for Soros to even be included in the 'big donors' list is the put him in the top 10,000 biggest donors.
Soros isn't even in the top 50 big donors.
Almost every single big donor in the top 50 is a White European Christian, and all of them are businessmen.
The right believes they are just doing what the other side has been doing. When anyone on the left complains about this from Musk all you get in response is, "How does that feel?"
Every accusation is a confession. They aren’t even pretending anymore. Win at any cost is their strategy. They aren’t playing by the rules, they wouldn’t win that way.
here in wisconsin we voted and approved a constitutional amendment last year prohibiting outside contributions to local election administration (FB funding extended voting hours during covid, etc.). But posing with a photo of a candidate gets you $20 and signing a petition gets you $100. That's OK.
Soros is a "buzz word" name. Say it and the MAGAs go into a frazzle. But it is simply propaganda. Leon does it 100X more and no one beats an eye. He (literally) buys votes (see Wisconsin) and no one bats an eye. Leon is playing a MAGA fiddle and they all dance for him.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this Scott A. from Green Bay took the money, then voted for judge Susan Crawford, and after handed out the money to families struggling?
I wish a rich leftist would just do the same and see what happens. Yeah, I agree it is highly illegal and Elon should be arrested, but just curious what would happen.
In Norway this would have been illegal, and stopped immediately. What is wrong with your legal system. This happened in the presidential election and now again.
South Africa. Where they operated a system of apartheid run by an oligarchy when young leon was born. His daddy was a racist oligarch/politician and serial breeder of offspring and emerald mine owner.
I know.
But the MAGAts don’t understand the difference. Leon is white. I’m willing to bet 80% would be shocked to find out that their shitty “go back to Africa” b.s. also applies to Leon.
Every MAGAt I know (I live in Texas) doesn’t even understand that Leon is an immigrant.

Stop trying to think further than prison yard politics. If White and Strong then they agree, no matter what.
Trump truly understands that the overwhelming majority of Republicans are White Supremacists at their core.
The term could easily apply to judges willing to destroy human rights like the sorry lot who bow to any of Trump’s demands/threats
Just saying
And seize his worldwide assets as a part of that investigation...
"Accuse the other side of what you are doing".
It's time for the military to defend the Constitution and rescue the United States.
I say "only" because most of Trump's cabinet picks have more than that. Musk's worth almost 50× that and is openly using his money to buy elections.

They’re literally committing every crime they’ve accused the left of—ten times worse.
It’s infuriating. And they never stop gaslighting people. How much longer can they keep playing the "What about Joe Biden?" card?

Maybe this is an opportunity for The Resistance to do Musk really dirty?
Like, Dems n Libs sign, then vote Crawford. But if any Dem/Lib wins, they can start a RESISTANCE FUND with that money?

When anyone complains, just point to Musk. If nobody is complaining about Musk, they have no grounds to complain about others.

Almost every single big donor in the top 50 is a White European Christian, and all of them are businessmen.
They even say what they are going to do. Yet nobody believes it, because it’s so outrageous.
Those who warn are „alarmists“ as long as there are sirens left.

Lock them up.
Lock them up.
Can't we enforce our laws, like France just did, and lock our fascist up?

Our biggest mistake with conspiracy theorists is we are trying to use logic and reason against people who don't think logically.
I never saw a contest to sign up for checks from Soros for votes.
I'm sick of the hypocrisy.
BTW they have been saying that about Soros because he has donated some but nothing like Nazi wannabe
Don’t forget that part…
