Democrats are starting to talk about how it is president Elon and he's got the power, not Trump

That's brilliant. It will start to get Trump riled up big time and get them going after each other

This is extremely naive. Outside dark money PACs can spend unlimited amounts. Musk controls Twitter and can spread immeasurable misinformation about a candidate. He may not be able to elect nutjobs in a general election but he can get nutjobs nominated against “mainstream” Republicans in GOP primaries because Republicans are much more susceptible to his bullshit in primaries than non-Republicans in general elections.

He is threatening to primary Republicans who don’t get on board the Elon train and he can most assuredly remove them from office. Whether he can then elect his nutjob challengers is another question but the threatened party is out in any case.

Elon has a lot of money to spend, no doubt. He may talk a good game, but money isn't the be all-end all. Trump has had incredible success and a historic comeback, but we've seen that other maga candidates don't have the same mojo, even when they are "Trump in heels", a la Kari Lake.

I'm not saying Elon will have no success getting R candidates through the primaries, but I think it will ultimately benefit Democrats because voters in purple states do a good job of keeping garbage MAGA candidates out of office.

Most of the money was deployed against Democrats…..the folks peddling lies about illegal immigrant trans prisoners and such nonsense.

Kamala could have squashed the "trans prisoners" thing any time she wanted.

Your naivete is very endearing.

Elon isn't in Congress. He holds no office. He has no accountability to voters. There is no mechanism to control him because the Republicans are entirely in his pocket. He bought a government and he will run it as he sees fit.

That didn't take long. Your naivete is very endearing. Looks like Elon didn't buy quite as much government as you think.

"Moderate" Democrats. LOL. He's going to be funding Democrats who will be beholden to him, not moderates, and who will do his bidding, just as in the Republican Party. I think they'll have less chance of winning than in the GOP, but trying to buy congressional elections is pretty much pocket change for him at this point.

Step 1. Raise tariffs on Canada
Step 2. say "That's Fine" when Canada threatens to cut off oil sales
Step 3. Tell EU they have to buy more US petroleum while unleashing a supply from up North onto the free market and expect the EU not to buy the Canadian supply
Step 4. Profit?


I am personally shocked that this man managed to bankrupt a casino.

He’s the personification of a “solution looking for a problem.”
Can anyone here who voted for this man defend this?

Of course they can. Theyve breathlessly defended the ignoramus for damn near 10 years. Now, if “logical” is implicitly embedded in your version of “defend”, no, they can’t, but ttump and his Pepe the frog/maga milieu have never operated on sound logic.
 


“Swamp Oligarchs” — when Musk and Trump and a dozen billionaires getting Trump appointments (and Thiel lackey Vance) are running the Trump Admin, who are the oligarchs?
