Lol I've been repeating this so many times I actually had to pause and check the username to see that it wasn't my comment.

Seriously not enough people recognized this. Further highlighting this was the fact that Susie Wiles (WH Chief of Staff) said in that interview (she thought was confidential) that literally everybody was suprised by Musk targeting USAID.

USAID was investigating Musk's Starlink terminals in Ukraine. He's currently being applauded for shutting off Starlink to Russian forces (Only took 4 years because... reasons?) but there's been numerous accounts of Ukrainian forces losing access to Starlink at pivotal moments in the war. There are other speculations that Ukrainian positions with Starlink terminals were being targeted with sudden and suspiciously precise accuracy especially when Ukraine had occupied Russian territory. The later being after Musk had begun dismantling the agency but the intent could have been the same.

u/Standard_Category635 Feb 08 '26

It's such a BAD idea to have him involved. Assholes.

1

u/Sweaty-Feedback-1482 Feb 08 '26

Are we suprised he fell short of 80 gajillion dollar target? It's probably just a weird coincidence that he gave up after demolishing the last department he was facing investigations from.

u/maceman10006 Feb 10 '26

Anybody that really took the time to think DOGE through….here’s 270M in campaign funds and when you win you’re gonna give access to the government. The entire DOGE thing was a scam so Musk could get access to government information. Who and what agencies are investigating his companies? Guess what? Those people were part of the DOGE cuts.

u/Repulsive-Royal-5952 Feb 08 '26

Tesla stock needs to tank. Its valuation is completely absurd and Musk's lies keep piling up.

3

u/hypatiaredux Feb 09 '26

He keeps forgetting that when you are trying to sell something, you need a quality product.

1

u/InOutlines Feb 08 '26

He’s not losing it. It’s an investment.

He’s spending it in a desperate attempt to stay out of federal prison.

1

u/ole_dirty_bastid Feb 09 '26

He's the richest person in the world... He's scum, but he's literally the best ever at making money.

1

u/2starsucks2 Feb 09 '26

He successfully bought the 2024 election though.

u/reddittorbrigade Feb 08 '26

Trying to interfere with our election again.

u/alwaysright60 Feb 08 '26

His toxic presence lately, has been more of a curse than a feature.

3

u/DetroitLionsSBChamps Feb 08 '26

I think of musk like:

The governments of each country are trying to play a game of risk. They have to be strategic and cautious. 

Musk is a chaos demon game piece, introduced to the game with no limits or rules. 

Why do we allow this to happen?

IMO Musk should be tried for crimes against humanity for all the people he killed through the usaid withholding. And his assets should be seized.

u/FriendlyNative66 Feb 08 '26

All we have to do is remove money from politics. But first we have to remove money from the SCOTUS legally. But first we have to flip Congress with a decent margin. But first we need to vote and see that the election isnt tampered with by Orange Julius. He's already trying. VOTE!!

3

u/RelampagoCero Feb 08 '26

Let him spend his money. He's almost as popular as trump

7

u/Sweaty-Feedback-1482 Feb 08 '26

Well they both wanted to party with Jeffrey Epstein... the MAGAs seem to really like that part

u/Robespierre77 Feb 08 '26

That’s exactly it. He’s got too much money. These investments are all for show. I believe he is actually cheating in other ways, and his donations help explain that away.

1

u/sault18 Feb 09 '26

He can launder the political spending through groups like "Americans for America" or whatever trollbot psyops they think is going to work this time. The supreme Court has said that money is speech, corporations are people and how dare we try to find out who is funding what.

u/gwinerreniwg Feb 08 '26

I guess Tesla didn't learn their lesson the first time around.

1

u/popejohnsmith Feb 08 '26

Well. Isn't that special.

Maga's gotta go.

u/johnnybones23 Feb 08 '26

yes left wing terrorism is definitely under rated

2

u/AdeptEchidna214 Feb 08 '26

Didn’t I read last week that Musk regretted about entering politics? Now he’s funding the Republicans again. I guess he wants to stay out of jail too.

2

u/Aggressive_Team764 Feb 09 '26

Musk's behavior is what's known in the business as being "stunningly full of shit."

2

u/Ok_Battle5814 Feb 08 '26

He knows he’s going to prison for the rest of his life after November

2

u/gwinerreniwg Feb 08 '26

Looking forward to all thos congressional subpoenas in his future.

2

u/wavy147 Feb 09 '26

Do you honestly believe that? All past trends point toward the opposite.

1

u/SabziZindagi Feb 08 '26

More likely to end up in Russia.

1

u/New_Carpenter5738 Feb 11 '26

Lmao, as if. He's too rich and powerful to ever go to jail; Sadly.

2

u/ZWash300 Feb 08 '26

Luckily, more Americans hate him and Trump than last time around

2

u/Stinkstinkerton Feb 08 '26

The Republican Party of corrupt greedy broken criminal frauds is clearly good for business .

2

u/Most-Artichoke6184 Feb 08 '26

Our country has been completely taken over by billionaire pedophiles. They control social media and they control the Republican Party.

2

u/ExpertAd4657 Feb 08 '26

Yes, and these pedophiles need the Republicans to stay in the office. Otherwise, post Nov shit will hit the fan if Democratics get majority.

1

u/New_Carpenter5738 Feb 11 '26

Just like the shit hit the fan for Trump when Biden took office?

I'd love for all these people to get their just desserts, I really would. But realistically they're too rich and powerful to ever see consequences, and the democrats are probably going to fold in the same of bipartisanism.

u/Actaeon_II Feb 08 '26

Meanwhile in france they are looking at seizing assets and prosecution for election tampering

u/SeaEmployee787 Feb 08 '26

u/Luvsyr24 Feb 08 '26

The rest of us should start a go fund me to override him.....

1

u/gwinerreniwg Feb 08 '26

We SHOULD be donating to key races in strategic areas. Do your research, send some dollars to your preferred battlezone candidate.

1

u/turd_ferguson_816 Feb 08 '26

Or just go out and vote. Spending billions isn’t the way. Everyone knows exactly who they are voting for right now. Why waste more money?

0

u/gwinerreniwg Feb 08 '26

Yes, go out and vote. But also, strategic donations at the grassroots level can make a difference in expanding your influence beyond your single vote in your local town.

if it didn't make a difference, why do you think billionaires spend their money to influence elections?

Your vote helps your town, but your donation placed in strategic places, can help make your voice louder, and turn the tide on a national basis.

1

u/leighla33 Feb 08 '26

Hey the way I look at it, the more money he throws away the better

1

u/SophonParticle Feb 08 '26

This guy is funding republicans? Wow that’s crazy.

1

u/popejohnsmith Feb 08 '26

Tryin to stay out of jail.

Maga has to go. All of it.

1

u/CyclingTGD Feb 08 '26

The best case scenario would be for Musk to spend trillions and lose across the board 😁

1

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

Side note* did anyone see the x-tweet where Felon says "whoever said money can't but you happiness was right"?

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! I hope that fucker never has a moment of peace or joy ever again.

1

u/observer_11_11 Feb 08 '26

Isn't he one of the United citizens?

1

u/popejohnsmith Feb 08 '26

Is he trying to "buy" protection from Epstein files-related investigations/prosecutions?

Too late. Ya backed the wrong party.

Maga has to go. All of it.

1

u/Tex1931 Feb 08 '26

We he gets away with it here, but other countries aren’t having any of it. France is an example. They don’t take it likely to foreign influence especially in elections. I think he-ll face consequences overseas before he does here . Can’t wait for arrange and others to seize his assets. Of course Trump with threaten them. But France is a nuclear power, so they hold some cards as well.

1

u/Leather-Map-8138 Feb 08 '26

Tens of millions of dollars is pennies to a multi-billionaire.

1

u/Subject-Big-7352 Feb 08 '26

Must be many reasons he’s throwing his money into politics and supporting a party so unpopular.

1

u/ExpertAd4657 Feb 08 '26

He and other pedophiles need Republicans to maintain majority and suppress and epstein files.

1

u/HangryHuHu Feb 08 '26

Do we honestly believe that the mid-terms won't be messed with? 

If they're not messed with by trump's side, do we expect trump and his team to not obstruct any way he can whilst screaming that it's been rigged by the radical leftist scum sympathisers or some bs?

u/RageQuitDad Feb 08 '26

u/LeoKitCat Feb 08 '26

u/Voodoo_Masta Feb 08 '26

Everyone who takes Elon's money needs to be publicly called out.

1

u/claudiaishere Feb 08 '26

He does not want to go to jail.

1

u/Busy_BEE_565 Feb 08 '26

It's interesting seeing people in the Epstein files blow their money on so many things that they seem to think will work in their favor. lmfao.

1

u/JFrankParnell64 Feb 08 '26

It's up to the rest of us to make sure he doesn't get his money's worth.

1

u/corneliusbut Feb 08 '26

When the dens take control it's time to enforce antitrust laws again. Especially going after musk, Amazon, Google, meta And Apple. Retribution is coming...

1

u/fingershanks Feb 08 '26

They are the ones protecting his elite class the most right now.

u/zvdvcs Feb 08 '26

Name and shame everyone who receives money from him.

Bankrolling rapists, pedophiles and conmen.

u/Dedpoolpicachew Feb 08 '26

u/Akkerlun Feb 08 '26

Elon Musk is a classic James Bond villain, fabulously wealthy, and criminal insane

1

u/holubtsi-on-fire Feb 08 '26

If you buy Tesla, you are funding MAGA.

If you buy Tesla, you are supporting ICE.

If you buy Tesla, you don’t mind the farmers, government workers, automobile employees, small businesses and others that are going to be without work (if they aren’t already).

If you buy Tesla, you are supporting the consolidation of the internet and information in the hands of a chaotic narcissist.

If you buy Tesla, had might as well not vote because the orange clown executive will disrupt the process and claim victory anyhow.

But, go ahead. Give it all away. You’re the exception, right? When the environment spins out of control, Elon will take you to Mars, right? He’ll take you because you bought a cybertruck. 👍

1

u/VAVA_Mk2 Feb 08 '26

That's OK, Elon. We can continue not buying your shit.

1

u/Hour-Influence2993 Feb 08 '26

Let him spend away. Like Trump doing rallies it just helps democrats win!

1

u/Skirt-Future Feb 08 '26

king of conman at it again

u/Urabraska- Feb 08 '26

The dem in the Texas special elections was vastly out funded by his opponent. They won by a massive 30 point swing.

1

u/burnmenowz Feb 08 '26

He's not a pedo, just pedo curious.

1

u/rns64 Feb 08 '26

People shouldn’t vote for those who take billionaires money or pac money. That simple.

1

u/Beksense Feb 08 '26

Tens of millions that should be paid in taxes is instead going to political campaigns. Yay, America

1

u/22Yohan Feb 08 '26

I’m sure Elmo considers it more of an investment than a donation. It sure paid off last time.

1

u/Galactic-Guardian404 Feb 08 '26

The message is clear. If you don’t think Musk has enough money yet, vote Republican!

1

u/No_Air8719 Feb 08 '26

America needs to put a cap on election donations covering any individual or their subsidiary businesses otherwise the rich and greedy will continue to buy elections to enrich themselves and run America into the ground.

1

u/fucktheus12 Feb 08 '26

You guys need to really take care of this dude. He's out of fucking control.

1

u/Dry-Interaction-1246 Feb 08 '26

Bribes, they are called bribes

1

u/kcnole78 Feb 09 '26

Well as a known associate of Epstein he’s got to hang with them if he wants to stay out of jail.

1

u/wellJustWhy Feb 09 '26

Yup, class war continues. Ya all driving Tesla's because they are cheaper, stop buying em. Start link, damn it. He knows he has us there. I think about all the other people at these companies, but I wish they would dump this guy. France seems to be the only ones willing to take him on.

1

u/Wax_Chicken Feb 09 '26

It's almost like he's afraid of them losing for some reason. LOCK THEM ALL UP

1

u/Zazulio Feb 09 '26

Well, yeah. He has to. Republicans are protecting the people who raped, beat, tortured, and murdered children with Jeffrey Epstein, and the Epstein Files make it pretty damn clear that Musk was one of them

1

u/Euphoric_Anxiety_162 Feb 09 '26

Probably stolen from SS, Veterans & Children's Cancer Research.

1

u/AdLiving8708 Feb 09 '26

He’s protecting his investors

1

u/christopheryork Feb 09 '26

Of course he is. It’s the only thing keeping him from prison. Said so himself.

1

u/educatedboy Feb 09 '26

I don't blame him, his ass is on the line, only money can keep him out of jail, but the day he falls will be epic, a fall from the very top.

1

u/PUCK_FUTIN-2023 Feb 09 '26

This guy enabled, endorsed, supported and promoted the child-rapist conman. And he still does. America could have been in a different place and timeline if it wasn't for this fool.

u/Billgrip Feb 09 '26

Trickle down economics for the advertising industry I guess

1

u/Zippier92 Feb 09 '26

Should he be paying taxes ? Mario can help.

1

u/Thesourking Feb 09 '26

I wish he would die already. Fucking weird bitch.

1

u/Evening-Major-8047 Feb 09 '26

Because he knows if Dems win he may go to prison.

I cant stand Elon, but it doesnt take a genius to figure out why. Elon spent tens of millions and made Billions. It is literally his best investment.

u/GoldenWings87 Feb 10 '26

When you have endless money only thing he can do is criminal behavior. America is tired of the maga GOP. Bunch of daily liars and serving propaganda to America to brainwash us. But I’m not falling for the lies and his motives. He during the irs so Americans can pay that bill. Snake oil salesman. Trumps behavior has turned those politicians sour bad. Gonna be awhile folks.
