Elon Musk believes he owns the US.

What’s More Powerful: Elon Musk’s Millions, or Liberal Anger at Him?

A few months ago, Wisconsin Democrats were raising plenty of money for this year’s pivotal State Supreme Court election, but they were struggling to persuade their voters to pay much attention.

Wisconsin Republicans had momentum from helping President Trump win their state in November but were on track to be outspent as usual by the more organized Democrats.

Then along came Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, who is both helping direct White House policy and running an outside political operation that has swiftly become the primary vehicle to power pro-Trump candidates.

Months after he spent more than $250 million to return Mr. Trump to office, becoming the 2024 election’s biggest donor, Mr. Musk has shoveled more money than anyone else into the race for control of a court poised to make decisions about abortion rights, redistricting and labor rights in a top battleground state. He has posted about the contest countless times on social media, held a livestream with his chosen candidate and is planning to visit Wisconsin on Sunday evening, two days before the Tuesday election.

that we were on the cusp of curing or eradicating until he cut the funding for the research. And laying on either side of him in the hospital are TSF and RFKJr. Now THAT would be true Karmic justice.

I thought a court blocked him being able to give $1 million to people there though?

You and me both. That phrase "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." There no longer is anything that falls into that category when it comes to Elon Musk.

All billionaires. No matter who they. No matter the letter after their name. All billionaires are evil by virtue of being billionaires.

He is 1000 X worse than everything the right has said about Soros for the last 20 years.

He intends to screw over more.

I think we will see the hatred grow while his billions shrink in the months ahead.
