Bullshit.

He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities alongside Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.

Believe me when I say that it is not to help Trump win Texas. I've lived here for over 40 years, and for the last 25, I have kept hearing how this is a "purple state" and "it's gonna be a swing state soon".

It's not.

It's not, it never has been, it never will be, and it's never been worse here. Which is why I'm leaving this hellhole once and for all next week with my cat, and I ain't never looking back.
