Rich and racism/classism. They basically see us all the same... As scum.
The dude who “made comedy legal” on Twitter (saying slurs, but not the word cisgender) loves the fascist? Can’t imagine why!
He believes in freedom of speech. His freedom to regulate your speech.
Trumpier? He is already fat enough. Paint him orange and he will be Trumpiest.
Dudes an actual billionaire. He already has a direct line.
“A direct line” has already happened.
I’m pretty sure I saw an article on here in the last week about how they talk to each other.
Yeah it was when Trump was looking for money to pay his fines. The next day they met. I'm sure there were no bribes right?
Not bribes. "Super PAC donations". It's the new way to make unlimited bribes without having to say that tainted word "bribe".
Given the criminal records of those in Trump's circle, what is the over/under on Musk's criminality?
Didn't he make a big deal of 'coming out' as republican to distract from his SA of an aid or something?
Need to Streisand Effect that.
I don't think that's going to help you sell electric cars, Elon.
Mark my words, he'll run for president in 5 years time.
And yes, I know he wasn't born in the US, but when have rules or laws ever stopped republicans from trying.
This is why billionaires shouldn’t exist. Money is power and power corrupts. (Not that he was a saint before he made billions, but he’s only got from bad to absolutely despicable.)
