"They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud.
Just a reminder that Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant and a fraud.
And America without immigrants wouldn't be America anymore, not the other way around.
I disagree, the Americas were ruined by illegal British, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish, and Spanish immigrants.
What he means is, he's toast.
Right. And his billionaire friends who don’t want to get “canceled” for doing whatever they want
I don’t even think that’s the case. He needs the GOP to help him own the world. Without it, he will just be an unfathomably rich person.
This is it. He knows the Dems might tax him a tiny bit more (an amount he won’t even notice), and he could possibly not win as many no-bid government contracts under them, but he’ll still be incredibly rich and completely above the law. The difference is, with the GOP in charge, he gets to dictate terms.
He can "donate" as much as he likes, with no restrictions.
It's not bribery though! See, he just has to make a Super PAC first; they don't have to disclose their source. So it won't officially be Musk dollars. wink wink

If I'm trying to give away free sandwiches, I'd have more success if they were made of ham than shit. But I could just give away a steak dinner and not spend any on advertising, because people would like up for a free steak dinner when it costs $500 in advertising to get them to order but not eat a shit sandwich.
Does that make sense?
We can skip advertising if the product is good enough. Hell, even with a bad product. PBR never runs ads, they sponsor local sports teams and events for brand awareness. Even if it doesn't increase sales, it helps people.

I don't think you know what an ad is
You win, I'm tired
You mean HE is toast if the Democrats get the house and senate. America is toast already. You just don't want your enrichment from the corruption to end.
Elon can take his limp non working dick back to South Africa by way of El Salvador.
He'd better be on that next flight to Mars.
I would absolutely love to completely forget who Elon Musk is.
I would love if he died.
I’d prefer he be jailed for fraud and corruption and exposed for the sniveling inbred moron he is, first, if it’s alright by you.
I genuinely don't believe that will ever happen, but the death or killed will.
But, happy to be wrong.
I just want to see him forced to work a minimum-wage job for a living.
Nice thought, but he'd be pardoned immediately, unfortunately. Dead and rotting is safer for everyone.
WHAT RADICAL LEFT
He means people who oppose shooting immigrants on sight
I don't think he specifically means that. Plenty of other people who use the same term do. But he actually likes immigration because it brings salaries down and his businesses depend on a lot of workers.
I'm fairly sure what he means is people who want to raise the minimum wage and oppose abolishing workers protections of different sorts.
Economists don't all agree that immigration brings wages down. Unemployment is actually up right now and a lack of immigrants is to blame, because they propped the whole system up. Less immigrants = weaker economy.
What brings wages down is the employer concentration, lack of collective bargaining power, and trickle-down economics. Our policies are designed to keep earnings down for the lower classes, so the wealthy ruling class can hoard ever more.
H1B workers, the kind Musk loves, are pretty much stuck with their jobs and get paid less than their more permanently residing counterparts even though they technically shouldn't. It's still a huuuuge increase over what they'd get paid back home, of course.
If you let your immigrants freely pick their jobs, they'll have bargaining power too and thus don't have to ruin the job market for others by accepting low wages.
If the left in the US was only a tenth as "radical" as they claim, people like Musk and his billionaire friends would have to dodge bullets wherever they go.
Oh, you expect reasonable discussion and general logic from the billionaires that only want to give themselves more money at any expense?
He'll just harp on with any current buzzwords to get the base riled up over nothing and continuing to vote and act against their best interests.
LOL, where is this "radical left"?
Are any of these "radical left" in the room with us right now?
I think he's talking more about "any sensible normal American that might regulate my shitty companies".
He seems to think the entire democratic base is composed of ML tankies.
If only he knew what MLs thought of democrats...
Yeah, those types think Chomsky is some kind of CIA plant, LOL. It's almost like they want to deflate any real counter to the fascists. I mean, I can remember when I was 14, too.
How many of them genuinely hold these beliefs is anyone's guess. I think a non-zero amount are trolls, bots, and certainly some just want to see who can be the most contrarian maximalist keyboard warrior.
"illegal immigrants cost us so much money" says the most successful thief and scammer alive today. Can't wait for him and his ilk to learn that money can't buy immortality.
May he bankrupt himself on the way to losing.
Not possible when you're a trillionaire.
Billionaires spending craptons of money convincing poor people that even poorer people are their enemy is never good for the world.
America My ability to horde insane amounts of wealth is toast slightly at risk.
Hoard* is the word you're looking for. Horde is a group of people.
Completely agree with you.
Ha ha, I knew it didn't look right, but couldn't figure out why.
He knows which party is more likely to investigate his crimes.
He should be very scared. He has taken advantage of the government in ways we would never had dreamed possible before. He managed to eliminate all his threats and ensure his contracts and permits are upheld. Massive corruption is an understatement.
I dream of a world in which elon musk is behind bars, fed stale bread
Just enough stale bread to keep him barely alive though. I don't think he even deserves continuous nourishment from stale bread.
Damn, I dream of a world where he's stuffed nuts-first into a wood chipper.
Already was*
He squashed a ton of investigations into tesla via doge
People should go all in on boycotting all his companies especially Tesla and Twitter.
Other countries need to cap campaign contributions if they haven't already because Musk has been known to fund the far-right globally.
He needs to rot in prison, I think he's scared, and that makes me want to fight him more.
Ignore the Nazi propaganda and destroy these fucking Nazis.
Dear Mr. Musk, who exactly are the "radical left" that you seem to fear so much?
Yeah, the radical right is doing a great job running the country. Housing is affordable, groceries are at an all time low, and unemployment is actually at a net negative. They're just giving jobs away at every corner!
Fuck you, Elon. Eat shit and die. Convince your friend Trump to eat a big bowl as well.
I'd be in jail
We didn't forget the reason why you want left to lose, Elmo!
Dude there is no radical left in the US. There’s different flavors of right, one of them is inconvenient to con men. Thats it.
Elon Musk blasted the Republican Party as a corrupt force that was "bankrupting" the United States of America.
This is what happens with leopards ate my face people. They were scammed by just one guy and don't change their minds at all.
He must have done some really bad things to be trying to avoid investigations this much.
He flat out said that if Trump didn't win that he'd be going to prison for life. He's done some really, really bad stuff.
The amount he will spend will be proportionately far less than the rest of us spend on general insurances. He'll also claim this as a tax deductible. So it gets him further tax savings and keeps him more likely to stay in a position of power and influence. Fuck that. Tax the billionaire class.
Break that son of a bitch down from his ketamine throne and bury him in his Tesla toybox
This is what he said about the Wisconsin supreme court race
"I feel like this is one of those things that may not seem that it’s going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will,"
Anyone have an update on the destiny of humanity since his favored candidate lost this race almost a full year ago?
Musk grifted half a trillion dollars by teaming up with republicans to kneecap the government and steal everything he could in the aftermath. The whole “falling out” was laughably for show, they all got exactly what they wanted. And he’ll do it again, you can bet your ass on that.
