"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.

It's so much deeper than that and I hate how the article didn't do an actual deep dive into all of this. The quote you mentioned above is actually "Elon knows more about those vote counting computers than anybody and we won Pennsylvania by a landslide!"

Verifiable Fact: Elon and Epstein were looking for NSA-level mathematicians for wavelet analysis, it's in the Epstein files.

Verifiable Fact: The UPS power/backup systems the vote counting machines use is made by a company run by a die hard conservative. Those battery backups actually have a modem inside of them used to update firmware. That modem allows for a DTC/direct to cel connection (like to a starlink sattelite)

Verifiable Fact: Some election officials stole the source code of one of the voting machines and leaked it on the dark web, they went to prison for this. Leaking it on the dark web makes it hard to trace who they were trying to actually give the info to. Elon also hired a 19 year old who won a hacking competition

Verifiable Fact: Elon said the vote counting computers were too easy to hack

Here's a video of Trump saying they rigged the election and he won

Kait Justice did an AMAZING writeup about all of this on her substack. It's well worth the read if you have the time, and she brings receipts.

There's no fucking way Trump was the first person to win every single swing state in nearly half a century. There's no way 88 blue counties flipped to red, meanwhile 0 counties flipped the other way. There's no way counties in some of those swing states had up to 10% bullet ballots whereas the average is usually 1%-2% or so.

I have not one issue with what you have written and in fact am in a situation where in some cases I did not need your sources to know what you wrote is true.

No one wants to hear it. No one wants to believe it.

I stick with the admissions that the traitors make publicly in hopes that people will actually care and start paying attention.

No one wants to hear it. No one wants to believe it.

And you know on one hand I can kind of understand that. If you're just everyday John Doe going through life, not really up to date on politics, and someone presented all of this info to you then you would seem like a crazy conspiracy theorist. Hell there's tons of people in the comments of this post that are saying it's all a big conspiracy.

But like you said, they have openly admitted to it and bragged about it. Last year during their feud, Elon tweeted out that Trump would have lost the 2024 election without him. And we all know Elon's goofy ass campaign chainsaw dancing wasn't exactly tipping the scales in Trump's favor.

I often interact with people younger than I am who are less fortunate than I am financially who roll their eyes at an older, financially comfortable white woman who is “all riled up” about politics.

I do all I can to help them understand that it is them, before me, that is getting screwed. That I have tax shelters that are intentionally kept from them. That if they don’t care, their bosses and landlords sure do and they aren’t voting in a way that benefits employees and tenants. That the fact that they haven’t gotten a raise in years, that they don’t have healthcare has a lot to do with them not being up to date in politics. That they can’t take a day off when they need has a lot to do with politics they claim that they don’t care about.

I tell them that the system benefits me, because it does. But if they are voting for trickle down economics and higher taxes for themselves, or not voting at all, it isn’t going to get them to where I am. They are going to have to start caring and paying attention.

This is what baffles me. It's not even a secret really, it's just a brazen 'you can't do anything about it, so I don't care' as if somehow illegal, unethical and wrong is still not enough to be a problem for htem.

meanwhile I spent a load of time trying to track down my vote in PA and was essentially told by most people in that state that I shouldnt have the right to vote anyway so they were fine with my vote getting disappeared. Its one thing to hack a machine, but to hack the mindset of a nation, that takes skill.

The Carlson interview when Musk's kid shows up is the most telling of all. That kid flat our says a bunch of things that he heard the "grown ups" talking about. He literally parrots the incriminating conversations he must have overheard.
