Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There it is. In the war of narcissist v narcissist, we knew he’d say this.
Edit: Have a nice day DJT!
What a couple of douche canoes.
What would haven been even funnier for Musk to say is "Without me, Trump would have lost, again."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high. And then it blew up.
AP news is hiring comedians it seems
One of the major outlets headline is "The two worst people in the world are finally having a big, beautiful breakup"
They just have no interest in being nice and giving him the benefit of a doubt since they're on the administrations shit list.
If other outlets had backbones this is just what journalism looks like.

When the World's Richest Man who spent a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS on ONE Candidate says "without me he would have lost", what does that mean?
"I bought him fair and square, but now he's defective. Can I get a refund?"
Also, we're not in a democracy anymore.

Sounds election interferry
Election interference? Nah, it's endorsement
Corruption? Nah, it's lobbyism
As a French, I'll never understand how this shit is legal in the USA. We've sued presidents for much less than that.
We had a chance to stop it a century ago. At this only a revolution can save us

Is he implying he manipulated the election? Or does it just sound like it?
For once in my life, I want musk to say more.
Not implying, admitting. Here's the data.
https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/
https://electiontruthalliance.org/eta
First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
Trump outright said he had bribed politicians during his 2016 campaign. It doesn't fucking matter.
Why would he openly admit to a crime of such magnitude? He's an idiot, but he's not THAT much of an idiot. He wouldn't incriminate himself.
Incriminate himself? He's far too rich for that to matter.
Then And if he did, it wasn't that bad. And if he did, that's not a big deal. And if did, that's not his fault. And if it was, he didn't mean it. And if he did, america deserved it.

Donnie, that's what happens when you don't say thank you.
or don't wear a suit.
It's a bitter feeling that the best defense the US has against a fascist takeover is the incompetence and narcissism of the ones doing the taking over.
Hitler's cabinet was full of these kinds of people too, and he still managed to do a lot of damage. It's not much of a protection.
...which makes you an enemy of the US, you piece of shit.
Deport his ass. Nationalize his assets and handcuff him to the first thing smoking to Joburg

As wealth becomes concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, we know the oligarchs will soon be fighting over the last of the scraps.
Unfortunately, we are those scraps.
Eventually, wealth will consolidate to three oligarchs, and we’ll all live in either The Citadel, Gas Town, or The Bullet Farm. Witness me.
No shit Nazi. That's why we hate you and want you deported.
Let's hope they do a mutually assured destruction of each other.
The egos are big enough.
Somebody has to dare him to prove it, and maybe he'll show how he rigged the voting counts in the swing states.
Is this a subtle admission that they cheated? Or is he just implying that he injected so much cash into the campaign that he changed the campaign calculus. I fail to understand how money won the election. Supposedly the dems had over a billion dollars during the campaign, and they lost. So, then whats he trying to say? Money has decreasing returns after a certain level.

Oh, so he's to blame
Shouldn't Child Protective Services be all over him right now? How can he be allowed to continue doing so much heavy drugs, with his little kids in the next room??

That's not something to brag about you fuckwit.
Anybody have any idea what they’re trying to hide with this puppet show? Is the big bill getting too much attention or is it something else?
Its to save Tesla’s brand, it appears supporting Trump is toxic to half of Americans
