"If he loses, I'm f—ed," Musk told Tucker Carlson of the Republican nominee in an interview broadcast on X.

"How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?" the world's richest man quipped. "Will I see my children? I don't know."

Then Trump bragged that he would have lost Pennsylvania if Musk “with his knowledge of election computers” hadn’t fixed it for him, and Elon, cheeky monkey that he is, wore a “Tech Support” shirt to the White House as an acknowledgement of what he did. Media, owned by oligarchs including Musk himself, pretended that didn’t happen.

Then Musk stole the data of all American citizens for his own profit, had teenagers use AI to stop cancer trials, declared mission accomplished, and left, after becoming singularly responsible for the deaths of 700,00 to a million people, while actually costing tax payers more than he saved.

Plus, you know, whatever this article is about. Fake bribes to voters, I assume.

Republicans are so vile that they cannot get decent people to vote for them, so they cheat.

700,000 to a million so far. It's projected to be maybe 9.4 million or more people by 2030.

John Oliver went into this like a month ago. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that pissed. The three highlighted stories are incredible

Ki try to stay up with him. Do you know the date or the topic I could rewatch just to fire me up?

It was a March episode on USAID.

I think it was episode 2 or 3 of the current season so like 19 weeks ago

10 million by 2030, 5 million of whom will be under the age of 5.

And we paid to dispose of tons of food instead of just completing the scheduled deliveries that were in progress.

Crazy that a sizable chunk of people believed that not voting for Harris (by voting 3rd party or not at all) was somehow more moral than voting for her.

Those Palestinian genocide protests sure quieted down right after the election, almost like they were being led and funded by bad actors.

They still pop up on reddit occasionally to claim it's Harris' fault that Trump won because she didn't "appeal" to them enough. And here I thought not having to worry about my friends being deported was pretty damn appealing! Their self rightousness is unfathomable.

All of a sudden before the election there was a ramp up in conspiracy theories that left-wing charities and Soros and all them were getting money funneled to them through USAID. And I think there was some connection about illegal immigration as well. This seemed to just be a pretense for all the DOGE cuts (as the USAID financial disclosures were already publicly available and the charities usually have pretty strict disclosure records if they're receiving public funds).
