  1. That is not the way a country decides what technologies to invest in. Electric is the future, and that’s why you do it

  2. Are we about to see an influence/bribery war between Musk and Oil companies on Trump?

  5. This may be the most blatant statement of being bought from a politician that I’ve ever heard.

  6. I’m shocked he became a politician that can be bought. 

  8. That is not how any of this works…. so he is saying if you give me enough money my position and use of the government can be bought.

    Yes MAGAs keep voting for the grift

  9. Trump in a nutshell.

    The American government is for sale if Trump is in office. Every piece sold off to the highest bidder.

  10. Hahah the orange fat one’s price has been paid. I wish this situation was only confined to Musk and not the foreign leaders of any number of sketchy regimes that also bought the orange clown. What a great businessman Trump is…

    Harris for the Future. Trump for the Past.

  11. So Donald Trump admits he has been bought and paid for.

    Not a surprise, I’m just shocked he didn’t try to fraudulently hide the payment.

  13. So now all the Beer bellied “Roll Coal!’ rednecks are gonna have to switch to being all Electric to keep up with their Dear Leader’s wishes.

  14. Ah yes that’s exactly how politics and government policy is supposed to work! /s

  15. Sells out his belifs and values to the highest bider yet again

    Shocking

  17. Just proof that trump will do anything for money.

  19. The GOP should put this on their website: “This political agenda was made possible by the kind and generous contributions of Tesla company, the NRA, the Oil Industry, the Coal Industry, deep pocket billionaires who always want more and tailored to the deep held beliefs of the gun toting, second amendment enthusiast, christian nationalists!“

  20. Is anyone on the Republican side gonna call out Trump’s open admission that he’s corrupt? Anyone? Anyone?

    Nope. Weird.

  21. This is a preview of a second trump administration. The country will be decided by Trump according to who gives him what he wants.

    His supporters are going to be shocked when they realize he no longer needs them (for anything)

  23. This sums up why Trump is so dangerous even more than his more overt malice and hate I think- literally all you need to do is get his attention and kiss his ass and he’ll do whatever you want. And all the worst people in the world know this. Its the exact opposite of what you want in a leader.

  25. Same way he has ‘no choice’ but to support Putin seeing as he ‘endorses him very strongly’

  26. Lets have Planned Parenthood donate $40 million to his campaign then watch the reich wingers’ heads explode when the fucking moron comes out and endorses abortion

  27. If anyone is ok with it, it really is scary. So the potential president of US can be bought. And he is happy to admit it.

  28. Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has said that President Trump “is the most flawed person” he’s ever known, CNN reported.

    “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,” Kelly has told friends, the outlet reported.

  29. I know hypocrisy doesn’t register to these people but can you imagine if Kamala Harris bragged about changing her positions because George Soros gave her a bunch of money?

  31. So in addition to being racist, incoherent, and dishonest, he’s for sale. Good to know.

  32. Dude literally just admitted to corruption in the most plain English possible.

  33. Every relationship Trump has is transactional. He’s a weirdo who doesn’t have any real friends.

  35. “The Weird Sell Out”

    (Insert picture of Trump sitting in a tub of Goya red kidney beans)

  36. Yet they complain about DEI?? This guy who hires his family and only endorses those who kiss his ass. Get fucking lost MAGA. You morans! <— intentional

  39. If he’s admitting to be bought by musk, how easy will he be bought by Kim and Putin?

  40. Ah, yes. What we all need is a president that is openly and unapologetically for sale and easily bought.

  42. Nice of him to about he’s easily bought by people who otherwise do stuff he supposedly disagrees with

  43. He’s announcing a bidding war. ExxonMobil, Saudi Arabia… make your offers!

  44. “ Trump has also repeatedly criticized the cost of installing EV chargers nationwide. He erroneously claimed the government built eight chargers in the Midwest for $9 billion.
    He’s given wildly inconsistent estimates for how much it would cost to install EV chargers nationwide. At the bitcoin conference, he said it would cost $12 trillion. At a North Carolina rally on Thursday, he said it would cost $9 trillion. And at the Atlanta rally on Sunday, he said it would cost $5 trillion.

    The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 included $7.5 billion to help pay for thousands of electric vehicle chargers around the country”

    The man is an idiot. 

  45. Read: I’ve been bribed. I always honor my bribes, just ask the Russians and Saudis.

  46. “my official positions and policy are for sale”
