Didn’t know Americans voted for elon
He was definitely part of the package we voted for. You're just mad cuz you're the side of the losing minority.
We haven't retired the Nazi talk yet?

Is there a worse look than using that term seriously to describe someone?
Billiken and a good amount of other far lefties can't give it up. They're incapable of learning.
 
PS: Now that green Polo is approaching $100 for 4.2 oz bottle, Drakkar Intense ($35) is my new go-to. Not bad for an eau de parfum.
 
None of us were actually alive to see a Nazi Government but lots of us seem to think we know what Nazis do and who we think they are, so we just name call for the shock effect and how it makes us look cool and it proves to fellow crazies we’re like one of the people, man.

It's called history...you know, what people our age were actually allowed to factually learn, instead of a one side view of history that your party wants to push. Incredible post...even for you.
 

The World’s Richest Man Is Now America’s Biggest Political Donor​


Bill Allison




Elon Musk poured at least $274 million into political groups in 2024, fueling a spending spree that helped Donald Trump win the presidency, and securing a new title for himself: the most prolific donor of the election cycle.

His total puts him far ahead of the second-biggest donor, investor Timothy Mellon, who has given $197 million mainly to Republicans, according to contributors tracked by OpenSecrets.

The bulk of Musk’s giving was focused on the presidential race. He gave $238.5 million to America PAC, the super political action committee he founded, including an additional $75 million in the final weeks of the campaign, according to its latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.

America PAC spent $159 million since launching earlier this year to help level the financial playing field for Trump, whose campaign was badly outraised by Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump outsourced his ground game to outside groups like America PAC, which spent $86 million on canvassing operations. It also paid for digital advertising on Trump’s behalf, including ads on Meta Platform Inc.’s Facebook and Alphabet Inc.’s Google.

The super PAC’s filing shows it made 18 payments of $1 million to individuals who each served as a “spokesperson consultant.” Musk offered a daily giveaway of $1 million to a registered voter in a battleground state over the final days of the campaign who signed an online petition pledging to support free speech and gun rights. It also offered more modest payments of $47 for individuals who got other registered voters to virtually sign the petition.

The US Justice Department sent America PAC a letter advising it that the payments might run afoul of federal laws that bar paying individuals to vote or to register to vote. Philadelphia’s district attorney sued Musk and America PAC, accusing him of running an “unlawful lottery,” at the end of October.

That suit failed to win an injunction to stop the payments.

Musk also gave $20.5 million to RBG PAC, a super PAC that ran ads claiming that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late Supreme Court Justice and a staunch supporter of abortion rights, had the same position on the issue as Trump. RBG PAC attempted to tie Trump to reproductive rights and diffuse a major political liability.

The SpaceX and Tesla chief executive officer had only been a modest political donor until this year. But the giving has lofted him into Trump’s inner orbit: He’s become a regular at the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago estate, and was tapped, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, a federal advisory committee that intends to recommend sweeping cuts to government spending and bureaucracy. Musk and Ramaswamy visited lawmakers at the Capitol on Thursday to promote the effort.

Musk, who is worth $361.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, has seen his wealth surge since Trump won the election last month.

Some of Musk’s companies could benefit in Trump’s second term. The president-elect tapped Jared Isaacman, a Musk ally and an astronaut for SpaceX, to serve as the next NASA administrator. SpaceX is one of NASA’s biggest partners and frequently bids for the agency’s contracts. Musk was quick to congratulate Isaacman in a social media post.

Electric Vehicle maker Tesla is seeking regulatory approval for autonomous cars, something members of Trump’s transition team have said will be one of the Transportation Department’s priorities. Self-driving vehicles face significant obstacles under current federal rules.
But George Soros....
 
So that we are clear, the usual suspects are supporting an alleged illegal immigrant billionaire from South Africa, who hasn’t been elected to any position, but who is working to convince the President elect to cut social security - something I have paid into for decades - in order to finance tax cuts for himself and his ilk?

Eat me. Drink me.

We literally have millions of Americans who think this is just fine...in before someone says we just can't afford to kick the can down the road any further.

How many billionaires has Trump appointed now? 5? 6? Middle class, working class Americans, by the millions, voted for crooks. We all are going to pay for their poor decision making skills.

Agree.

While we may not have lived it, many had family friends who did live it. My pediatrician’s parents were sent to Auschwitz. She and her husband worked in the underground against Hitler.

An older friend of my husband’s was interviewed about his escape for “Schindler’s list”.

One of my friends in Brazil was a “kinder kid”.

There are plenty of stories out there. Just because one hasn’t traveled to Europe nor known anyone who was directly affected doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

There are actual stories all over the place. Donald Budge wrote about his experience in the 1936 Olympics in Germany and what happened to Baron Von Cram.

Also, it might be beneficial for some to do a little research on what Nazi means and the politics behind it.
 
Anyone who believes an unelected South African billionaire and his unelected millionaire Indian sidekick want to reform Social Security out of benevolence and kindheartedness are goddamned fu@king idiots.

Perhaps this will change your mind.

So billionaires are prone to making bad decisions?
Interesting.

Although in this case nobody is actually voting for him and he will not ever have to face a confirmation hearings, which doesn't seem right to me.
As much as I wish he hadn’t won, Trump can hire who he wants as advisors for non cabinet positions. If he wants Musk as an advisor that is his prerogative.

Now if Musk was to issue orders that supersede senate confirmed cabinet officials, or over-ruled congressionally approved budgets - then sure, that is definitely an issue.
