Trump / Musk (other than DOGE) Omnibus Thread

Gonna need the board lawyers to chime in here.

Gonna need the board lawyers to chime in here.

This is a complete non-story.

Trump's lawyer said Stormy owed $650k in fees + interest. Stormy's lawyers said she only owed him $620k. Trump's lawyer offers to accept $620k if Stormy will sign a NDA/non-disparagement clause. Stormy's lawyer says no. They settle at $627.5k.

Conversations like this happen in law offices across the country every day.

It is embarrassing that MSNBC thought this was newsworthy.

Weird post. Is he suggesting Lili is Trans or just rambling?

From link above:

“An initiative called Progress 2028 that purports to be Kamala Harris’ liberal counter to the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is actually run by a dark money network supporting former President Donald Trump.

Building America’s Future, the dark money group at the helm of the network, has steered money to a constellation of groups and initiatives boosting Trump’s agenda and spreading messaging aimed at chipping away voters from Harris. The dark money group reportedly received over $100 million in funding from billionaire Elon Musk, along with other donors, the New York Times recently reported.

The newest effort to benefit from their largesse is Progress 2028. Building America’s Future registered to use Progress 2028 as a fictitious nameon Sept. 23 and the website was created three days later, OpenSecrets’ analysis of corporate filings and DNS records found. …

Some of the policies listed in Progress 2028 highlight disproven and misleading claims about Harris’ positions. Policies listed include “Empowering Undocumented Immigrants, Building Our Future” and “Expanding Medicaid to Undocumented Immigrants.” …”

“… Progress 2028 has also started pouring money into digital advertising. Since Oct. 11, several digital ads on Facebook and Instagram have included the disclaimer “paid for by Progress 2028” — totaling over $36,000 in ad buys over just five days.

While the ads appear to include pro-Harris messaging, they lean into contentious issues listed on the Progress 2028 site that have created friction among different divisions of the party.

“Let’s remove barriers for undocumented immigrants who are undocumented!” one ad states, adding, “Access to affordable housing, driver licenses, and fair wages creates a stronger America for everyone.”

Another ad reads, “A national, mandatory buy-back program means fewer guns & fewer tragedies. Kamala Harris gets it!” …”

I can't fathom why good people don't immediately discontinue any involvement with him or his companies.

Well, let’s see, maybe because while we all sit here and keyboard whine, he’s getting some real shit done?

Can you spell apartheid? Him Thiel etc. should be the real conspiracy rabbit hole you spent some time "Doing your own research." Just saying.

Not sure bin Talal is a loser. I mean yeah he lost money, but he helped buy a legitimatized platform that the Saudi government could likely get unfettered access to. He didn't lose money, this was opportunity cost for the House of Saud.

And let’s also not pretend Musk is in it for the money.

What real shit is he getting done? Can we get a list?

Advancing EV’s, expanding internet access, dramatically lowering the cost of space missions, translating brain waves…there’s a whole world outside of politics where some positive things are happening.

I agree both with this and that Elon is a dangerous unscrupulous dickhead.
