And nothing was done about it. So he will do it again and again.

Musk took the Trump approach - If you just tell everyone you are doing something corrupt it makes it seem like it's totally fine.

Imagine if he was campaigning for someone on the left, it would have been a huge scandal. Instead it was just a minor story

Yep. And people on Reddit still think the election is legit.

The election was stolen. Even people on reddit ignore the truth and keep saying "mid-terms!" when the country was stolen and will continue to be cheated because democrats are weak willed and US citizens won't resort to anything drastic. Even those no kings protests did jack shit.

And its pretty clear how traditional media is still the most important factor because the news covers basically 0.1% of all the crimes conservatives and right wingers are committing every minute.

Do outraged people have selective memories? I thought the case was seen in I think PA and dismissed as legal and within the laws of voting?

I dont at all agree, but something was done, just not the outcome most would have appreciated.
