Musk says Trump would have lost election without him

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Thursday President Trump would have lost the 2024 presidential race if it were not for him, escalating a feud that erupted earlier that day between the two former allies. “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the...

Yeah, Trump should learn to show some appreciation.
Even the richest man in the world got played by Trump. Too funny.
Align yourself with Trump and bad things happen.
 
My, my, my. How the tables have turned on all the partisans, R and L.

Soon, the Dems will use all the Repo Musk talking points/memes and vice-versa. It will be incredibly funny how quickly many folks will turn themselves into ultimate hypocrites over Musk.
 
At least you have your marching orders now. Musk is calling out and insulting your leader which is a big no no in MAGA land. Don’t be a disloyal and insubordinate MAGA.
 
I hate Musk and he richly deserves everything happening to him, but let’s give him immunity and find out why he said that.

Just because I call out liberal stupidity a lot, doesn't mean I'm MAGA. That's the limitation by you and yours. You simply cannot accept that someone who dislikes the abject failures of the Democrats might not be a MAGA. You have a very gut-level, reactionary reaction in that post.

Your uberpartisanship betrays you. Again. But, you've gotta be what you're trying to be. I can accept that. Can you introspect your reaction to my post without partisanship?
 
Oh wait, you’re likely a Russian.

Or you could hold him accountable, which would probably kill him from surprise.
 
It's likely true. Which is why we shouldn't forgive Musk in the least. He knew what he was bringing to power. I think Musk just thought he'd get a bigger cut of the scam.
 
What are you even talking about?

Forgive, no … he needs to walk away in shame. More importantly though we need to get Trump out of office
 
Which electric car driving, pro space exploring, college educated, pro immigrant voters followed Musk's lead?

I think he is inflating his effect upon people - literally no one cares what he says.

He's right above Taylor Swift in political pull.
 
Harris won Trump the election, Not Musk.
 
Lol of course right wingers would think this way.
 
Trump’s best supporters are the ones who genuinely believe they aren’t actively dancing to his tune.
 
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk said in a post on his social platform X.

I wondered about why Trump was sitting in the courtroom pretending to be sleeping, like he knew that the big money fix was in.
Musk spent millions of dollars backing Trump’s election in 2024 and appeared alongside the president on the campaign trail during its final weeks.

Folks, that shouldn't be happening, regardless of candidate.

He then led the Department of Government Efficiency with the goal of cost-cutting efforts and overhauling the federal government; his last day in the administration as a special government employee was Friday.

I doubt that Musk was sincere about government efficiency and more interested in getting advantages with a little side order of gathering information.
But let's say he was sincere about his task. He (his minions) put in a lot of effort just to be slapped in the face with that not so beautiful bill. I suppose that could have made him mad.

I am very suspicious about all of this and don't believe a word either of them are saying.
Either way, I think it is a lot of yada yada yada.

I suppose it was some Greek or Roman who first said "The enemy of my enemy i my friend". That's pretty much the case, so Musk is my friend.
 
Trump is the bigger liar and far more dangerous than the essentially powerless Musk.
 
Two narcissists dishing it out. We all saw this break up coming.

There's noway of knowing whether Trump would have won or not without Musk. But Musk did give millions of dollars to the campaign.
 
As did the MAGA crowd when Elon got on board, suddenly EV where ok with MAGAS.
 
Neoliberalism promised to remove “government tyranny” and create a more efficient and freer society. Instead it concentrated power to emotional and incompetent authoritarians like Trump and Musk.

Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems

Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?

Trump would have won the election without Musk, but he was more than happy to take the $300 million Musk was willing to piss away.

And Napoleon who said "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Onward, Taco Don!
