THIS ISN'T NEWS.

We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but this is about who's saying it. Dude's rallying up his minions, which means Elon is declaring war, and I personally can't stop laughing at all this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (9 children)

The funny thing about Elon going to war, is that Elon will lose. Fantastically so. The ketamine must still be flowing hard. 5 years ago Trump's base hated his cars. It's only when Elon hitched his cart to maga that they started to like him. An unsold cyber trucks are in mall parking lots and his stocks globally are tanking.

So, now Tesla's stock is in the shitter. Liberals hate him and don't want his cars. And now the GOP will flip on him and also not buy his cars. He's also now going to wreck his government contracts with SpaceX. Mars will never happen for him. And now Twitter will take an even bigger hit. Those ai protections can be drafted to exclude him and his companies too.

He will absolutely damage trump and split a few people off, but he was in a losing position to begin with. Even with damning evidence and the persuasive media skills and charisma of a much more talented individual, he is so fucking cooked. Without that... Well, now there is only one psychopathic narcissist in the leadership role. So that's nice.

I’m ok with famous people reiterating it as often as they like, honestly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I've known for about half a decade that he was deeply involved thanks to the brother of Jeffery Epstein who testified in court that Trump had been to the island on many occasions.

Trump was talking well over a decade ago about his good friend Epstein and how young he liked his girls.

Despite that trump is a known pedophile americans still voted for him, how stupid do you have to do that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

All they needed to hear was that the opponent was a black woman and they lined up down the block to vote for a rapist, murdering fascist.

The GOP has no problem with child rape, as long as it’s older guy on younger girl, and if the younger girl has parents that matter, you need to marry her first.

The United States is all about being the biggest: biggest cars, biggest wealth, biggest waistline, and biggest stupid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Biggest pedo.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

We know, dude, we know. We've seen the pictures. He's a pedo, just like you Elon.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

this is actually good, not just drama.

Musk is basically Trump's publicist. without him, a lot of Trump propaganda machinery is gone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

he can prove it by directing x /grok to attack trump and any magat loyalist.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

That didn’t seem to bother him a week ago.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Prove it then, coward

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He always defaults to calling people pedophiles. Sounds like NPC dialogue?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

In this case he is probably right. But he is probably also on the same list.

"Trump was on Epstein's island! I shook hands with him there!"

Where's the news?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This trump vs elon narrative feels performative. Call me a cynic, but I feel like a narrative is being pushed to try and win back good will for elon.

As much as I believe that Trump is in the Epstein files, I don't believe Musk has any info about this. Remember this is the same guy that called the person trying to rescue those kids in a cave a pedophile with zero evidence. Musk can not be trusted, even is it's something you want to believe.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Isn't Elon Musk also a pedo?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It wouldn't surprise me, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Epstein wanted to get to Musk so he set Musk's brother up with someone and Kindall introduced Musk to Epstein. Kendall ended up Epstein's friend. We don't know what happened between Epstein and musk But I can almost guarantee you that it didn't involve Legal consensual adult interactions.

This gonna be a hot mess bitch break up and I’m fully onboard for it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Show the proof Elon! Your DOGE had access to just about everything, now we need to see what you found.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah we know.
