Why not, he bought trump the WH and snatched all the data while destroying ddcades of work.
Trump is a dumb little bitch
Hey now, let's be fair. He's not little.
American voters however are even dumber, so now USA is governed by a German Nazi descendant, controlled by Russia and a South African white supremacist!
Who is more stupid, the idiot or the ones following the idiot?
USA as a country has gone insane.
Therefore, one of the best ways to troll Elon Musk is to always vote, and always vote Democrat.
But what if the democrats aren't perfect?
What if they have a weird laugh?
Trolling Musk is more important.
Will do!
Because Trump took all of their war chest money for the election and put it in his pocket. And they still support him.
trump does something nobody do to the gop, destroy them from within by starving them to death.
Must have a pretty significant interest in them staying in power...let's find out why by kicking them out.
It's a sign hes has too much wealth, it needs to be taken from him and given back to the people
Is this his way to make sure that his companies are bailed out when the bubble bursts? They’re all a mess right now and bubble bursting, bond rates going up, and debt called in will sink them in the blink of an eye.
his companies are HQ in texas, he has an interest there.
That's no bailing out those completely ridiculous valuations. And without those the whole house of cards comes down.
So, I've started to wonder, where does this money go? Like TV stations, billboards, whoever prints out mailers and posters etc?
Primarily ad spots on TV, yeah. Radio and mailers are small fries by comparison. It’s no wonder all of corporate media is wholly complicit in the corruption - their paychecks depend upon it!
That's what I was thinking, did they just get lucky with citizens united or did they help make it happen
Yes.
Comcast, Nexstar Media Group, etc.
Probably a fair bit to municipalities.
I'm actually not sure who the major campaign ad printer an postermaking companies are in the usa.
From what I can tell very lazily written ads about trans people. I'm not sure it's helping because it's not messaging, it's just bombarding the airwaves with propaganda.
Walmart is helping too, and I'm sure those tariff refunds were well received by Amazon, Google, and Apple. Trump announce a Trip to Beijing soon to meet with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin so obviously TikTok's gonna be all in on his ass, too.
And it's cutting into his wealth less than a single nice dinner would cut into yours
only because trump was stealing from gop campaign funds, Laura trump holds the key to the war chest of RNC funds partially, thats why they are relying more heavily on billionaire private donors.
America - the best democracy money can buy.
A fool and his money soon parted. No faster way to make a fool than to surround yourself with yes men and descend into narcissism.
