Them trying to buy Judges indicates that Judiciary still holds power in the US at least to some extent
Immagine if Soros spent $25M on a candidate. Musk and the right would be furious, would be calling it "election interference by the deep state"
Especially from someone who is clearly very influential in the admin and is clearly so
Yes, they are lying hypocrites with no actual morals who are more than happy to lie directly to our face.
This isn't news, stop being shocked by this.
We all really, really need to abandon the idea that pointing out hypocrisy and inconsistency does or means anything to anyone. Literally it's all we do all day on the left, and all it does is signal to the orcs that they're winning. As long as we're outraged and pointing out this thing or that thing we're angry about, they feel they're winning.
They are simply not complex enough to care or internalize anything deeper about the notion of hypocrisy so it's just a noise to them, and even to the larger liberal America broadly, they don't know what's real or not anymore and have totally tuned out the news. Foreign agents have been seeding both sides of every debate for so long, that average people who don't follow every story just see both sides screaming the other is lying and go back to work. They vote for whoever social media tells them is good.
We need to redirect energy to telling a new story, about how the wealthy are taking our future, and abandon this endless, worthless parade of reactions. We are always on response, never proactive, never trying to change the story or get ahead of it, always screaming about this latest bad thing they did and focusing on it like they want. We can do a lot better broadly.
The right would argue he spends billions on every election. But it’s dark money. Elon has the balls to let people know where the money is coming from. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear hair plugs and children as body armor.
Trump has this to say:
VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!
Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don't get elected in the future.
fascists always do what they say their enemies are doing
GOP - Gaslight. Obstruct. Project
Just 10 years ago people would've called any politician who said moronic stuff like this a sore loser. And every non-expert would see that he is actually talking about cheating himself. What happened? The sanewashing needs to stop.
Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don’t get elected in the future.
It's one of their stated goals. They've been against making voting easier fror the disenfranchised since day one. Day zero actually. Before that. For decades. Maybe close to a century now.
What does this mean?
Isn't the election finished?
What does he mean "it should allow us to win wisconsin"
The current election is done, but there will be more in the future. I believe he's referring to those.
please someone have a still frame of him jumping like a dipshit in that cheese hat.
fucking troglodyte.
THANK YOU WISCONSINN!!!!!!!
-bonus if you remember drew Carrie
Drew Carey*, but "Hello Wisconsin!" Is the last line of "That '70s Show's" Intro.
The Drew Carey Show was set in Cleveland, Ohio.
Specially, the suburb of Cleveland Rocks
that's like someone with some savings spending 25$ to buy an election what a cheap fuck
It's a big deal for Wisconsin but Elon just saw it as an excuse to flex on state election laws.
The real upshot of the vote was that, once again, wealthy people are allowed to commit crime with impunity. Now Elon's goon squad goes back to the drawing board to find a better way to cheat.
He really spends his money poorly
I could do so much with his wealth with far less harm caused
Fortunately, he's bad at spending it for evil, too. Example: Dogecoin.
PROSECUTE ELON MUSK FOR ELECTION INTERFERENCE, WISCONSIN!
This needs crossposting in uplifting news.
I would love to see more of things like this.
Get f*+ked fElon!
Fucking awesome. And honestly, I’d take Austin Powers’ Dr. Evil—bald cat and all—over the real-life 2025 Nazi Dr. Evil any day. Wild that that’s now a perfectly reasonable stance.
Two Million dollars down the drain, only 400 Billion to go. Go team go!
Looking into how this asshole aquired his wealth, I palpably understand the phrase "too big to fail". With some initial mom&dad money, he's been failing since day zero yet getting continuously richer. One could say that failing (+windfall) is his business model.
Elon to start handing out "winner" cheques only after his favourite wins next time. Or he'll be offering 5mil cheques for the next one he wants elected. The man isn't short of money, these amounts are rounding errors for him.
The 25 mil is a rounding error.
The cheques went to specific pre-selected supporter-workers (Lemmy told me), they had to be paid either way.
it can be done !
Wealthiest and vilest person on earth.
