  1. It’s going to be fun to see who the Republican cowards are more scared of.

    “Elon Musk promised to bankroll primary challenges against Republican lawmakers who vote to pass legislation representing a sizable portion of Donald Trump’s political agenda on Monday as the Senate debated its final passage.”

    “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he wrote on Twitter.”

  4. He thought he bought and paid for the Republican party and got played 

  5. If this is what it takes to get the BBB to die, then congrats Elon on finally doing something right for once.

    He can still go fuck himself though

  7. I swear to god, democrats better not buddy buddy up to this guy.

  9. And Trump will primary them if they don’t. Lolz! Luv this for them.

  10. Now they have to choose what they fear more.

    Trump, or Elon’s War Chest.

  13. Does this guy honestly expect anybody to take him seriously again after everything that’s happened? An endorsement from Musk is moot at this point.

    Nobody is going to forgive and forget. Period.

  14. Didn’t he literally just a few weeks ago say he wasn’t going this anymore? Do we have a MACO now?

  15. I want him to stay the fuck out of my politics. Take his happy ass back to south Africa and fuck off.

  16. >Translation: look everyone I’m the good guy now, please buy my cars

  17. i wish he’d primary himself to Mars, what a fucking loser. 🚀

  18. The only good thing that Elon did this year is oppose this murder bill

    Still doesn’t change the fact that he is a cruel fascist who is only opposing trump because this bill will hurt tesla and his companies

    He still illegally gut USAID and condemned millions of people to die from starvation or lack of medical care 

  21. Lol, imagine that; in his perpetual need for external validation, Musk does yet another political flip, and goes back into left-leaning ideals.

    Be honest: would you accept it, if just in a utilitarian way? Or would you forever hold him responsible for the grief he caused?

    As for myself, I’m deeply paranoid. I can’t shake the feeling that all developments – all headlines we’re presented with – are part of a scheme meant to make us feel what we feel, and to ultimately dupe us into unfavorable outcomes.

  22. I just read an article bout Trump wanting denaturalizing citizens who falsified records when becoming a citizen. I’m not going to be terribly sad when they use this on Musk. I just hope he gets to primary a few republicans before he goes.

  23. Primary how? Republicans get primaried from the right, not the left. Is Musk going to magically find enough conservative candidates who happen to be also into EVs? 

  24. He tried to buy the most recent Wisconsin supreme court race. His behavior in public was so demeaning and fake he turned off our voters. His candidate, who was a normal Republican, lost by far more than expected after Musk put on his show and offered voters $100 each. You can hope he does the same thing in your state — you could get lucky too.

  25. And trump is going to primary every one who doesn’t, sounds fun.

  26. So glad this dude burned a bunch of money so he could jump around on stage like a dipshit, put a bunch of climate denying assholes in power, and screw up the federal government by giving authority to guys named ‘big balls’.

  27. Before you give him even a little credit, he is saying will give money to the campaigns of other Republicans to defeat the Republicans that embarrassed him.

  29. You can’t unwreck a car. The damage is done and this bill is going to kill people when they can’t afford their meds.

    What the idiot media isn’t reporting on is how EVERYBODY on Medicaid/Medicare is having to prove their disability. We are going through that with our daughter and if she ultimately is cut from Medicaid, we are out $5,300 per month for meds.

    We will watch her die because there’s no way we can afford that.

  30. Isn’t it crazy how threatening to buy elections isn’t even a conspiracy anymore, it’s just the daily news?

  31. I mean, now that he has all the data he needs to make his techoverlord fantasy world where all citizens are just slaves, why not, right? The elections don’t mean anything anyway, he can just ”do computers” and make them go however he wants, according to Trump.

    Fuck you Elon.

  32. Supporting this bill has turned into a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for Republicans.

    You have Trump threatening to primary any Republican that doesn’t support the bill, and Musk threatening to primary any Republicans that do support it.

  33. Musk is a petty narcissist who destroyed his reputation, career, and legacy to “cut government spending” only to have Trump add $5T to the deficit. What a sucker.

  35. I kind of don’t understand Elon’s play here. He got Trump elected to cut taxes on the rich and cut programs that benefit everyone else. Why on earth would he suddenly flip on this when he’s getting everything he wanted?

  37. Not a fan of Elon but I’m not going to complain if he wants to primary these GOP goons lol

  39. lol fuck man, I will never stop laughing at the idiots that go balls to the wall for Trump and get thrown under the bus. It’s 6 months in and Musk is like fully persona non grata, working to destroy Trump, and his life is in shambles. You get what you fuckin deserve, asshole.

  41. He’s still a Nazi but I’m here to watch the children fight.

  42. Never gonna forget he’s a huge reason as to why we’re in this entire fucking mess to begin with. You’re no hero musk, and you never will be.
