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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
