Elections Elon Musk Pledges $45 Million Per Month to Trump

[luckyshot]

Overnight, this makes Musk one of the largest donors in American political history.

So, I guess the mask is off the whole "We need a fair an neutral social media" thing.

Yeah.

The audacity of Elon Musk’s $180 million pledge to elect Donald Trump

Musk says he'll give $45 million a month to a Super PAC that promotes a practice he has actively undermined.

In any case, whether you are left leaning or right leaning, I think we should all be alarmed by our techofuedal overlords blatantly buying our government.

The pledge won't really make a difference in the election, but I think Trump thinks it will, and that's why he was willing to give Vance the VP position (not just Musk, but that brings aboard a bunch of creepy rich guys from the tech industry).

Him donating changes nothing to his idea about fair social media unless you have proof otherwise . With a lot of the left making jokes wishing the sniper didn’t miss Trump on Twitter and people calling those accounts to be banned.
he said he won’t do it because freedom of speech. But hey orange man bad so…

He is dumb. Initially he dreamed that soon will be more rich with Twitter, then started to kick out employees and demanding users to pay some $ for label etc. While he was successful and smart with technique type business he appeared that was idiotic with his social media business ambitions. Now matushka and Trump will save him from next failure. Better had just continued his smart and successful business with technical stuff
....

Attempts to reanimate Twitter?
We are ready to pay 44 b $ in order to make big profils in future.
Due to difference in business plans for near future we should a bit optimize number of employees used by Twitter and associated companies.
Musk.

Hope No2 now is Putin and Trump?

Yeah, I'm sure if the largest Democrat donor was running Twitter, you'd feel just the same way.

I suppose this might be a sensible statement... if you are a autistic tech billionaire who doesn't care at all about a social safety net, actual populist economics, or reproductive freedom.

I mean, nothing says middle-of-the-road like theocratic judges, no taxes for the rich, and no abortions for women!

Even when it was a public company, lunatics like him were pretending it was biased against Republicans.

Let's see how they use that money though. They need to go all in on ballot harvesting and getting as many legal votes for Trump instead of wasting it on dumb ads, if they want to make a difference.

Pay some kids to go around nursing homes with a pen and get those people to fill in ballots and drop em off somewhere.

Money is not what it used to be as determined by the 2016 election when Hillary had all the MSM and outspent Trump by nearly 2X.

Now, I hear this $ is supposed to be use for get out the vote, early voting, monitoring, etc.... so maybe an impact?

Better than it was “shadow banned for publishing a laptop story “ or lab leak theory .. ect . But you’re too thick in the Forrest for this

If they use it for actual stuff on the ground and not some dumb and ineffective ads it could definitely make a difference.

Are you saying there are no liberal billionaires that donate to democrat/liberal politicians and causes?

 

[Confucamus]

This is a big deal, why?

 

[Rygu]

But it was cool when Zuch did it on FB in 2016 and 2020 right?

Like Trump, Musk is a courageous guy who is willing to put some skin in the game to try the fix the country that was broken by the leftist democrats.

The usual suspects will mock him from behind the safety of their keyboards because that’s all they’re capable of.

We need to change the way campaigns are funded

Nothing more pathetic than a grown man idolizing other grown men.
