"I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he's going to go to prison if Trump loses," Carlson said.

LOL. Billionaires don't go to prison in America.

Okay, so what’s the warning? Where’s the bad news?

Elon is destroying himself. Bad investment on Twitter and dumb political antics have made me no longer a potential buyer for a Tesla. I can't be alone in this.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter. With that kind of wealth he could (and largely has) fuck up literally everything he touches and he'll never not have billions. The most effect he'll experience is not being the richest on the planet.

If it doesn't matter to him, then why is he still trying way too hard?

Billionaires always want more, and Elon will never have a true friend or experience real love. His current stage of trying to get something real is to make stupid jokes and put on a cool guy persona. Go watch the interview where he told his advertisers to fuck off. He immediately scans the crowd to see how his "too cool for you" declaration landed.

He's just a sad sack piece of shit but unfortunately because we still haven't made being a billionaire illegal we all have to put up with his influence over certain aspects of the world.

Completely agree. Making him less of a money maker is the best path forward for all of us. A Rivian will probably be my next ride. Really liking the look, performance and range of the R1S!

He's on the hook for something, why do you think he wants trump to win

24

He's on the phone to Putin every other day I'm sure it's just swapping memes though.

I suspect it is because he believes he can con Trump into giving him control over the entirety of NASAs budget

Why? What did he do?

Even if Kamala wins, the US doesn't imprison billionaires. So he must have done something real bad for this to be a possibility.

His companies are deeply reliant on subsidies and protective tariffs - it's likely that the US would diversify ev subsidies after all this election interference from Musk.

He's been betting his financial well being on Trump winning.

Yes, AND...

Sean combs (diddy) will be destroyed if compelling evidence of the crimes he's accused of is presented, and arguments are made by his legal team, to the point that he's found guilty by a jury of his peers.

Same for trump...

Same for musk...

Even same for you little lord tucker and your, "wow, these russian supermarket shopping carts are just so amazing!!!!" internet videos...

If Tesla wants to survive, the board needs to dump the Muskrat and the US government should follow, especially with his ties to fucking Vlad.

Eh, people like Carlson use this rhetoric to try to get the young male voters. The Harris admin isn’t petty and vengeful, you’re thinking of Trump admin. Worse people doing worse things have gotten deals with the U.S. govt on a variety of things. So no, Carlson is full of shit as usual

Well if I wasn’t voting for her already I sure am now.

I want to see his head mounted on a spike.

You want me to commit vote fraud? Because this is how you get me to vote multiple times haha

This is one of the more normal things he has said recently. Several quotes talking about literal demons coming after him. He might need whatever therapy program Glenn Beck joined.

3

That doesn't make much sense.

How, specifically, would he be destroyed. He's literally the most wealthy person in the world (sometimes second). What does Tucker think that Harris (the US govt) have on Musk....that they wouldn't have already used?

If he is such a giant criminal; why would the government not already be prosecuting this case?

He is young he will have many more years to make our lives miserable.

He's not young. He's just rich and has access to rich people medicine.
