U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Saturday, said there would be “serious consequences” if billionaire Elon Musk funds Democratic Party candidates to run against Republicans who vote for Trump’s sweeping tax-cut bill.
Trump declined to say what those consequences would be in the phone interview, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk.
Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yeah.”
So it’s trivial for Musk to decide who you vote for, then. You don’t care about the candidate’s position, just whose “team” he’s on.
It’s kind of pathetic watching Americans continue sabotaging their chances of getting out of authoritarian control even now. What will it take to end that purity spiral?
If you think voting for a guys who work for Nazis is how you get out of authoritarian control I don’t know what to tell you. Also musk isn’t the one deciding that there. The candidates are. If they show me that they’re Nazi sympathizers I’m not going to vote for them. If you find that to be a weird Line in the Sand for somebody then I find that really weird about you.
I’ll say it again my Line in the Sand is nazis. If you think that’s a purity test fine I’m comfortable with that. That’s one that I’m proud to have.
Right. Mine too. And supporting the Republican candidate in the upcoming elections means you’re supporting the nazi candidate.
The US is a two party system. If you don’t vote for one, you’re tacitly supporting the other. That’s how Trump got into power. I have no sympathy for people who continue to perpetuate his power.
It’s clearly not your line since you are sitting here saying you should vote for nazis.
You think Democrats are nazis?
If they’re taking money and orders from Elon Musk yes. That’s what I’m saying. I said it a number of times even.
The “and orders” part is something you’re assuming.
Buddy if you’re going to sit here and pretend that that’s not how political donations work I don’t have any time for you.
And you’re worth talking to? You’re fine with handing a vote to a Republican based on nothing other than where the funding for the Democrat’s campaign came from.
As I pointed out above, the US is a two-party system. You pick one or you pick the other. You’re picking the Republicans. Good luck with that.
