(12,548 posts)To me, the clearest reading of this is that is saying he thought he was not going to be president for the 2026 and 2027 events. But because "they" rigged the 2020 election, he ended up running again and winning in 2024, so now he WILL be president for the 2026 and 2027 events after all.
He is a very clumsy speaker. But he's still not going to say that his team rigged the election for him. Only his enemies rig elections, you know.

(29,462 posts)then how sad he was that he wouldn't be president, but then the election was rigged so he became president again. I don't see how anyone can interpret this as talking about 2016 or 2020.

He has always claimed the 2020 election was rigged, his statement here is consistent with that. He appears to be saying that, as a result of that 2020 election being rigged against him, he was able to run again and become president again in 2024. This is why he now can be president during those events after all.
This is also consistent with his wording that "THEY" (not "WE" rigged the election. It is his enemies who rig elections, not his friends.

(29,462 posts)His actual quote is
"when we made this, it was made during my term, my first term, and it was so sad because I said, Can you imagine, I'm not going to be president, and that's too bad. And what happened is they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing. It was a good thing."
"They rigged the election and I became president."
What happened is they (Musk & Co) rigged the election and he became president. He goes right from rigging elections to his being elected. To believe he means what you say, he would have had to say something like, "It's too bad I wasn't going to be president because they (Dems) rigged the election and I wasn't reelected. But now I've been elected again!" The lack of "again," the lack of follow-up ranting about how Biden stole 2020 from him, these are big flags for me that he's talking about 2024.

(9,616 posts)That convinced me. He didn't need our votes. His immune ass doesn't need our laws. He avoids prosecution/prison and Elon and friends eliminate federal roadblocks to the draining of the nation's wealth. Nice gig if you can get it.

(13,226 posts)It must have been quite a relief for him to say it. It wasn't sarcasm because people like him don't do sarcasm, which requires a level of empathy to achieve. Maybe it was his crude attempt at sarcasm, something he's seen others do, as when cargo cults fashioned crude replicas of cargo planes, but notice that no one laughed.

(29,462 posts)I posted a link to this clip being hosted on the CSPAN web site. If it was false, they would have taken it down. It's obviously taking about 2024 election. People are yawning and insisting he's talking about 2020, or saying, so what the press will ignore it. WTAF, PEOPLE?!?!
If the MSM isn't spreading it, it's up to us to share it so broadly the MSM will HAVE to report it.

Don't expect a lot of visitors for the FIFA and the Olympics if you keep arresting tourists at the airport.
