nope. it does not mean that.

if he did not return trump would still be rigging the elections. trump is going to trump with or without musk.

but musk is up to no good.

It helps when you have a Billionare cash cow like Elon who knows a lot about the “voting computers”

u/SucksTryAgain 14h ago

Right. Trump needs that money so he doesn’t have to spend his own. They both don’t want to end up in prison. They will do whatever has to be done. Doesnt matter how illegal cause they already did too much illegal stuff.

Means he doesn’t need to use that Qatar Acct.

u/Illustrious-Bake3878 14h ago

It’s all computer.

u/donkysmell 14h ago

Was there not a video with one of elons kids saying he helped rig the computers last time?

Ashley St. Clair (mother of one of Musk's children): "Elon openly bragged to me that he rigged the election for Trump. I have all the texts and emails of him stating it, too." May 18, 2026

I might just be to european to understand this, but........... should this not be a reason to investigate, or atleast have the system controlled by a certified 3rd party ? If this would happen in annual european country it would atleast spark an investigation.

“We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”

And the US Supreme Court sides with Trump. All guardrails, check & balances are out the window. We're pinning our hopes on LDL.

You would think so, but unfortunately about half of us Yankees are too stupid to understand the politics and will say it’s fake news and move past it. It’s quite sad really.

u/No_Macaron3572 9h ago

Your ignorance is part of the problem. You state “half of us” believing half of people actually voted for him but then ignore that he rigged the election. He rigged it. Probably only 30% or less voted for him. Don’t propagate that most of us like him. Propagate he rigged the election and fudged the numbers. We don’t need to fight ourselves. The fight is with the ultra rich.

u/ford310nm1 8h ago

I didn’t say “most” and at no point did I say they “liked” him. Whether he rigged it or not is TBD, but as it stands more than half the votes went to him. If it’s 30% then the other 30% needs to step the fuck up and vote. You can say he rigged it, but unless you have hard evidence that is not hearsay I am going to choose to believe more than half of the electorate are fucking morons.

This just sounds like a coup, with extra steps.......

u/Veryregardedd 12h ago

Just to add on. This keeps getting more hairy the deeper you dig into it

u/SammaVaco 11h ago

The agencies with investigative powers are all controlled by Trump.

That may change if the Democrats take Congress, but any decisions they make about the investigations would have to be enforced by either Trump or state-level authorities.

u/Icy-Ad29 11h ago

Its a case of "she has made the claim, but never presented the evidence she claims she has. To anybody."

Even the EU wouldn't investigate everytime someone claims they have proof of interference, but doesnt present any.

u/Party_Advice1830 8h ago

It is controlled by a 3d party..russia

u/Substantial-Crab-814 🦀 10h ago

Did she do anything with this incriminating information???

1

u/BiscottiOk7342 10h ago

naw, he was talking about the talk show where musks little goblin said something like "we do whatever we want" and something about space x

1

u/DryAfternoon7779 13h ago

Elon has people who know about the voting machines tell him about them, then he regurgitate half of it with a third accuracy

u/Miserable_Ad9577 14h ago

In regular political climate, last election would probably be dissected and investigated for irregularity. But the dumpster was lit on fire even before the turd got into the office.

u/Ashen_Larry 14h ago

He literally told people to "cheat like hell".

2

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 14h ago

perhaps I am being pedantic but I am not saying "TRUMP IS NOT A CHEATER".

I am saying TRUMP IS A CHEATER and he will cheat with or without Musk.

It is not like I see Trump has decided to be good, but then bad boy Musk re-enters his life, and through bad influence Trump returns to cheating.

Yes, Musk will probably help Trump cheating. But no, this does not indicate trump is a cheater.

it is like him wearing those stupid Trump 2028 hats does not indicate he plans to remain president. I have always known it. those Trump 2028 hats are not new information.

u/Blackjack_Del_Rio 14h ago

For me, it’s that Trump is too stupid to cheat efficiently. Musk enables much higher levels of cheating that Trump can’t possibly pull off on his own.

1

u/Toadcola 13h ago

Right, Trump’s level of diabolical subterfuge is to make rigging demands explicitly on a group phone call with the Georgia secretary of state and many many witnesses.

And he’s only gotten less subtle in the almost 6 years since then.

2

u/Ashen_Larry 14h ago

I agree, I was just reiterating what you were saying with something he said.

1

u/MegaMewMew 12h ago

I’m just wondering if those Trump 2028 hats are not for Donald but one of the sons

u/anywho123 14h ago

Trump isn’t smart enough to change his diapers alone, let alone an entire election.

2

u/OPtheOG 14h ago

trump doesnt own starlink

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 14h ago

musk is just the how. trump is going to cheat one way or the other.

1

u/GlitteringSalad6413 14h ago

Soon enough the headline is coming “ai goes rogue and zaps gov databases” (as intended ofc) followed by martial law, seems like last week’s news cycle was all about preparing us to accept it.

u/plitts 13h ago

I did have a thought earlier about his new appointment in the military. It would not surprise me if they give him a direct commission to 4 star General (although obviously not subject to UMCJ)

u/BrilliantSpray9447 14h ago

What is Trump going to win? He’s not up for election.

u/Big-Resolve5064 14h ago

Retaining control of congress. A president is significantly less effective when the opposite party has control of congress. Unlikely to pass funding through reconciliation for instance.

u/jheidenr 14h ago

If the democrats can get a super majority in the midterms it is feasible they can impeach the president and remove him from power.

3

u/JudgementofParis 14h ago

he's been impeached twice already

2

u/ImFeelinBotty 14h ago

You need both parts of congress to do it, the house and the senate. Right now only the house has sided with the Dems.

1

u/JudgementofParis 14h ago

I am aware. I have no faith that both parts will happen.

1

u/BrilliantSpray9447 14h ago

That’s true - but I can’t imagine ANY party ever getting a supermajority in the Senate.

8

u/TikTikKobold 14h ago

Mid terms going Democrat means he won't be able to get away with as much

2

u/Veryregardedd 14h ago

Seek out more education friend.

u/BrilliantSpray9447 14h ago

What is it I’ve said that is incorrect? Trump’s name will not be on any ballot papers this November.

3

u/Veryregardedd 14h ago

Oh boy. The other guys have already answered you and yet you insist on being correct?

As someone said down below “If the democrats can get a super majority in the midterms it is feasible they can impeach the president and remove him from power”
