Everyone should remember that Elon doesn't care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He's in it for the money.

He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he's done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he's pivoting back and trying to appease them.

It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

Elon is so incompetent that he thinks he is playing poker but shows everyone his hand.

We see you, Elon, go ahead. The world is watching as you wanted. We will watch you lose to yourself.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He shows everyone his hand, but in his hand he holds a royal flush, 5 black lotus, a Mega Mewtwo, and half a trillion dollars.

The problem is that the cards are stacked so much in his favour that he doesn't have to hide his hand. We see him allright. But what good does this do? Can we un-elect him? Can we impeach him? What can we do? Pretty much nothing.

thanks for saying shit we already knew, and confirming that you also knew yet still supported him while knowing he was a pedophile.

My favourite thing about this is just how thoroughly predictable it was.

And I don't mean in hindsight either, tons of people called it the moment Elon started hanging around Trump.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 47 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Our politics channel was almost spot on! It's been ~4.5 months since the inauguration.

The big bomb would be a paper trail showing how they rigged the election.

We've already seen the documents that say trump is a rapist paedophile.

[–] zildjiandrummer1@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

That's a massive claim, so it'll require some substantial evidence. However, there are many statistical irregularities in swing states and other anomalies that haven't occurred for 100+ years.

There are already several SMART and ETA lawsuits in a few states to demand recounts/audits.

I'm assuming Musk did this after he removed his own name from them.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (3 children)

He's the richest man in the world, he doesn't need to be involved with Epstein at all, he's rich enough to fund his own pedo ring

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (6 children)

I am a little dismayed that the world's awareness of sex-trafficking and systemic child abuse seem to begin and end with Epstein.

Does everyone think that this kind of vile luxury for the wealthy was centered around ONE person? There are billions of people on Earth, it's not only still going on, but the ringleaders are celebrating that the world's attention is on just one dude who was caught and killed for it.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think people are obsessing over this case because a bunch of rich and powerful people got publicly exposed as a part of the same ring, but there's certainly way more out there. I'm sure a bunch other politicians, billionaires, clergymen, celebrities, and a whole host of other people with influence has their own rings all over the world.

It kind of rings hollow when he was bringing his child around the guy while Donald wasn't releasing the files, along with being one of his biggest cheerleaders.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It would be genuinely shocking if he wasnt, considering how close they were.

But yes. The kid thing was gross.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (1 children)

His kid is nothing but a prop to him. And a human meat shield against Luigis.

You know that, and i know that, but many americans do not.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A big bomb would have been definite proof that Trump isn't in the Epstein files.

Stating the obvious at the other hand isn't.

I don’t know why he says this like it’s a revelation, everyone knows

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

musk basically just told everyone he knew trump was a pedo and still helped him become president.

Elon Musk isn't really part of MAGA though. He joined Trump and MAGA shortly before the election and now got chewed up by Trump like anyone else did. Nobody on the Republican side gives a shit about him. With his money he can make trouble but thinking this is a turning point is silly. It's just more chaos.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd say that Musk was just as big of a part of MAGA as anyone else. Quite a bit more than most really because he ran a whole ass government agency so he and Trump could harm their political/business opponents.

Even though the Leopard ate his face, he still voted for/ promoted/ worked for/ and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Leopard. Musk is in no way a victim here.

Sure, he got 'chewed up' (I guess), but so did Hitlers supporters when they outlived their usefulness. It's really not surprising.

Nobody on the Republican side gives a shit about him.

Name anybody (besides themselves) that they do care about? Caring about people isn't exactly the Republicans strong suit.

I agree it's not really a 'turning point' but don't underestimate the number of people (MAGAt's or not) who are Musk ball lickers. Those people will 'pick a side' and not everyone will choose Trump. They are both Fascists though, so the people end up losing either way.

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (7 children)

I guess my main point is that Elon doesn't really have a "base" any more. Neither the neoliberal technologists and futurists he charmed nor MAGA are on his side any more. He burned his bridges with public support. So he only has his money to influence representatives. And is empire is crumbling too.

What prompted me is that the neoliberal mainstream press and social media is jumping on this as if it was a turning point. This is another "Trump is in deep trouble now!" after he or someone else said something.

PS: I'd be curious where Peter Thiel stands, the handler of Vance.

PPS: If Thiel backs the impeachment Thiel will become president and that might align with their goals to dismantle democracy in the US.

More like, he paid his bribe, got to rip up regulations and stop litigation that was costing him money, smashed a bunch of shit as a distraction, then fucked off.

Musk and Trump are going to be high as balls on their various drug concoctions mean tweeting each other at 2am.

Trump on truth social and Musk on twitter. It will be glorious.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 33 points 6 days ago

Well ... Duh.

Republicans dont care. They will just scream and accuse everyone under the sun of being molesters ... then deflect for and defend their own evil kind.

Republicans are the demonically possessed people the Bible warns about in Timothy ... but the "Conservatives" are not interested in religion.

this is political theater, planned and staged infighting. and the liberals are going to absolutely EAT IT UP. the reality is that Trump has always been the fall guy, the scapegoat, the lightning rod.

the ownership class utilized him to concentrate power, they use him as a distraction, and now they can use him at a scapegoat. they want to pretend to "switch teams" and get on our good side, so we forget how much they were the ones who hurt us.

when you see this, just try to remind people of that. remind them who is holding us down.

I don't believe anything from these people nor do I necessarily disbelieve. Bannon flat out on video stated their tactic was to flood the media as "they can only focus on one thing at a time ". The stated strategy was to distract the public with BS while they accomplished unpopular things. Bannon himself was an advisor to Trump early during his first term. They too had a public falling out, then by the 2020 election acted as if it never happened.
