  1. I could’ve been born in the universe with flying cars but no I have to be born in the universe where the guy that was supposed to develop flying cars decided to become a right-wing grifter and force himself into politics.

  2. Ultimately, we need to recognize that the real fight isn’t between neighbors or communities—it’s about wealth. While we’re being pitted against each other over race, immigration, and who’s allowed to exist in public spaces, the one color that truly drives this battle is green. This is a struggle between the rich and everyone else, but we’re too distracted by the noise to see it. Hopefully, we wake up before it’s too late.

  4. Why are we all just letting this happen? Some even think it’s a good idea apparently…? It’s like the whole country is sleep walking in to our own demise.

  5. And he still has over 500 billion left. Are you starting to see why we’re totally fucked?

  6. So we’re not counting the $44 billion he spent to buy Twitter?

  9. He thinks he has a president that he’s bought and paid for. But Trump has a lifetime record of scamming his lenders and investors. No matter how it looks now, I doubt Musk is going to get a longterm return on his investment.

  10. The biggest problem is that this is such an obscene amount of money that’s it’s very difficult for many to understand the absolutely immensity of a difference there is between $1 million and $250 million. Like I make $80k a year, so I absolutely at some point have earned $1 million over the course of my career. I’ll never get to a quarter billion earned, let alone that much money available to buy a president.

  12. Why is everyone ignoring Elonutsack and his ties to Putin? This dude was in daily contact with Russia and now gets to come in and dismantle the government? How in the hell is every intelligence agency officer fighting tooth and nail to stop this obvious attack on the US?

  13. I wonder how long before Musk is fired?

    I’m going with a year. Maybe a year and a half at the most.

  14. All it took was a quarter billion dollars to topple the US. Amazing!

    …and sad.

  16. He was running competing ads in the same state- one against Israel and one against Palestine —-not one dem could bring the people together and point out this obvious maneuver?

  18. Dude knew he couldn’t run for pres (not born here) so he just went out an bought the presidency.

  20. He had everything to lose. BILLIONS in foreign investments needed to be a failure so who else to you turn to but the biggest reverse uno card player in the universe than Donald Jfcicantbelieveweelectedthisguytwice Trump.

    This guy can convince 75 million people that every time he fails, it is not actually your perception which is true but that he actually succeeded and you need to listen to him.

    So for Elon Musk riding a train downward on Tesla getting litigated into oblivion from the consumer protection bureau for false advertising on their self driving, the SEC and FTC for his questionable dealings with Twitter or the realization of obsolescence for SpaceX as NASA catches and exceeds them.

    He’s gotta convince the world he’s both still relevant, a genius, wealthy, and what is needed to solve their (problems).

    Ofc course he’s finna to grift with the master grifter.

    I don’t really begrudge the knowledgeable people who ride the troll train… Kinda, I wish they would try to save some of the innocent people. But I really am disappointed that people are so easily duped by such a simple ruse. I hope that America will still exist after that leopard eats their and our faces.

  21. So basically Musk made a major investment with the hope of getting his money back ten fold. It had nothing to do helping the American people. Anyone who thinks this fraud, who is an immigrant from South Africa, cares about improving America needs to get their head out of their ass. He wants money and power. Full stop.

  23. Does this include him buying twitter? The purpose of the purchase was to control the messaging.

  24. These are all the same thing:
    – The deep state
    – The enemy from within
    – The radical ~~~left~~~ right
    – Weaponization of government
    – The swamp
    – The Republican Party

  25. Elon and his disinformation platform were the major reasons Trump one. I don’t know if Harris could have done anything to effectively counter such an unprecedented onslaught.

  26. Did not spend that money. He invested that money and will get >10X in return.

  27. And this is to say nothing of what he likely did with the DJT stock, and is likely still doing. Two months prior to the election, it had tanked to $12 per share on average volume of around 5 million shares (I had been watching with much glee).

    Then a HUGE amount of purchasing happened, completely unnatural pattern, and the stock miraculously rose out of a death spiral. This wasn’t done by the dumbasses who had bought $55 per and owed their asses. It was more institutional/corporate billionaire fuckface type buying. MIllions and millions were dumped to prop the stock.

  28. Is it also including dozens of B$ for nationalizing Twitter?

  29. How is this not illegal and considered election tampering!?

  30. Not to mention all the under the table crypto payments to influencers.

  31. If only *somebody* could show us a way to deal with these billionaires that are ruining society…
