Our press is absolutely complicit in what's happening.

A real journalist would have eviscerated him for a claim like that.

Yep

A real journalist would have said, "That is an absurd statement. The man spent over 200 million to elect Trump and you would have me believe he had no personal financial interest in electing Trump as president ? Either you are as dumb as a box of rocks... or you are being disingenuous which I find insulting both to the viewers and to me."

I think I would have responded to that real journalist that $200 million is 05% of elon's wealth. If you had $1 million and donated $500 to get somebody elected, that's about the same thing. Would you have me believe that every millionaire that donated $500 to a president's campaign had a personal financial interest?

If the millionaire who donated $500 did so knowing that donation would increase his wealth by 100 million ? then yeah

And then you would be laughed at for making such an idiotic argument. It doesn’t matter what percentage of Elon’s wealth he contributed to Trump’s campaign, it’s still more than any other single person has donated to any other campaign, possibly ever. And he didn’t donate that amount without having a personal financial interest.

I have my doubts. Elon got really rich before Trump and really before he started doing this whole donate so he could be Trump's best buddy. I don't think Elon cares who's in office when it comes to his wealth. I think Elon just likes having power but doesn't really feel like going through the whole running for office thing or changing the Constitution so he could be president.

Why would you have your doubts? Elon wants to protect his money and utilize every current tax loophole to do it. Just like Trump. Elon looks forward to another round of tax breaks for the ultra rich. Elon wants to protect his business interests in China.

This is no-brainer kind of stuff here, and you have your doubts? Really?

Yeah, leaving aside the billions he will make on increases in future government contracts and the hundreds of millions he will save in future tax cuts, just the 83 billion dollar increase in the value of his personal shares of Tesla in less than two months makes his 200 million dollar outlay to buy Trump's election a very good investment.

Elon must have an amazing crystal ball. He spent 200 million to help Trump win a race where Harris almost doubled Trump spend and he saw an unprecedented stock price jump making him still have more money than he's ever going to spend. Absolute no-brainer.

I can't think of any other explanations then Musk is a genius capitalist whose every action, including the head scratching moves he makes on a daily basis, is dedicated to increasing his wealth.

you don't need a crystal ball. The race was 50/50 . Trump wins I increase my wealth by billions; Trump loses I'm out 200 million

Even you can see the wisdom of the bet...or maybe not 😏

My doubts are because Elon would have gotten those same loopholes if Harris had won. So would Trump. Musk has gotten them before both with and without Trump. Musk has gotten the contracts for SpaceX with and without Trump too.

I think the reason Elon backed Trump is he wanted the power and especially the attention. I think the reason Trump is putting up with Elon is because Trump wants X to buy Truth Social eventually.

He was going to increase his wealth by billions anyway. If he had kept his head down and donated to both sides like most others, he would have still been rich. He would still have rocket launch contracts.

You can't make the claim that Musk is a loon out of one side of your mouth and then make the claim that he is some Machiavellian schemer out of the other.

He wants the attention. That's most of it. Even you can see the wisdom of the bet...or maybe not 😏

The Border/immigration

Inflation

TikTok/Chyna

Peace with Russia



All four pillars of the Trump campaign are over before the administration has even begun.

I guess they'll have to focus on trannies.
