Looks like President Musk is still in charge.

    I’m betting that President Elect Musk pulled some election BS and is holding it over Taint Maid Trump’s head for leverage.

      I mean, he literally did. Are you forgetting the part where Musk was straight up buying votes in swing states? It was all public corruption, the U.S. just isn’t doing shit about it.

      Pretty neat little conspiracy. Musk tells Don, I can rig it, Don takes the deal, monkey paw outcome: Musk blackmails Don with proof of cheating. I don’t know how plausible it actually is, but it’s interesting as a story.

      This might have been a believable conspiracy theory eight years ago during Trump’s first term, but we live in 2024, where twice-impeached and convicted felon Donald Trump won reelection. I can’t imagine there’s any dirt that can actually harm him at this point. He doesn’t need to seek anybody’s approval, and nothing he ever does can come back to hurt him. He’s a king now and people need to come to grips with that new reality. Approval ratings mean nothing. Censures mean nothing. Impeachments mean nothing.

      If I were Trump and somebody had dirt on me, I’d say “Go ahead and tell them. I’ll come out and tell them that it’s true and that I was smart to do it. And then they’ll love me even more for it and they’ll make you public enemy number one for going against me.”
