Tesla boss Elon Musk was the biggest financial backer of Trump's campaign and led his DOGE effort. But they are at odds over a major budget bill.

    Is he implying he manipulated the election? Or does it just sound like it?

      Trump outright said he had bribed politicians during his 2016 campaign. It doesn’t fucking matter.

          The first question I want him to answer is “Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”

      Why would he openly admit to a crime of such magnitude? He’s an idiot, but he’s not THAT much of an idiot. He wouldn’t incriminate himself.

        Incriminate himself? He’s far too rich for that to matter.

        Then And if he did, it wasn’t that bad. And if he did, that’s not a big deal. And if did, that’s not his fault. And if it was, he didn’t mean it. And if he did, america deserved it.

        He knows he’s too rich to ever be convicted of anything. He just bought a president and a whole country of his own. He’s drunk with power and thinks he’s invincible.

        He did two nazi salutes at a rally and laughed it off. He is far beyond incriminating himself, he does not give a single fuck.

        It’s not a crime. The Supreme Court said it’s legal to just buy elections in citizens united, and that’s basically what happened.

        And it’s not like the Democrats ran an amazing campaign to begin with. If they started out with a competitive primary instead of forcing Biden onto everyone things would’ve probably been different.

        Depends. He may need some more drugs to admit to that.
