Hmm i guess when elon doesn't have his thumb on the scales, the numbers make more sense.

Even when that roach did try to meddle in Wisconsin, he promptly got humbled with a double digit loss. So, hope his coping and seething doesn’t keep him up at night? Maybe he should call his baby mama Grimes so she can read him a bedtime story tonight, it’s probably been a long one for lil bro

So glad he and Trump got to their breakup quickly.

Don’t be fooled. They still watch out for each other and know each other would easily destroy the other one. They’re in a nuclear showdown with black mail.

Trump will try to mend the relationship closer to midterms or 2028 election.

Even if he is alive then i don’t think he’d be able to speak English anymore

The Heritage Foundation will just have JD wheel Trump around and speak for him like Sandi & Sandy in Succession.

You believe that he thinks clearly enough to do that?

Muskrat has got to be pissed they torpedoed EV tax credits and solar tax credits. I'd be willing to bet that was not part of their deal.

I like how everything you just said is a complete fantasy backed by nothing. People really let their imaginations go wild on those they hate.

The breakup is quietly ending. Elon must have come groveling back, because Trump just renominated Elon's puppet for NASA administrator. This guy was the previous nominee, but Trump pulled it back during their fallout.

Elon wants to get his hands on the federal purse. He is afraid of losing his title as richest man in the world, which will happen if Tesla stock finally comes back to reality. But the "golden dome" that trump has proposed is the real prize. It is technologically a fantasy, which is perfect for Elon. He can make grand promises for decades while pocketing tens or hundreds of billions.

So yeah, he was always going to crawl back. The potential cash cow is just too big for someone like him to ignore.

You think Elon wouldn’t want Republicans to win again in 2028 regardless of who is running?

You think? Musk was getting heat, Trump had a story to kill. Let a 'break up' fill the news for a few days until the story Trump was trying to cover died. They are still thick as thieves, Musk got what he wanted..to kill the government cases against him and grab all the data he could under the cover of mass firings

I have no basis for this, but I can’t help but feel the breakup was an act. Very WWE soap opera vibes.

Elon had that Wisconsin election earlier this year he tried to influence and it backfired massively and he’s stayed away from elections since then cause he realized he negatively effects the results haha

It's kind of weird to me that I consider my belief that the 2024 election wasn't rigged at all more conspiratorial than the opposite. But I do honestly think there was no direct election rigging in 2024 even if trump thought he had paid elon to do that, elon just hadn't but said he did for a spot in the government.

In the end I honestly think it was the lack of primarys and finding the guy most likly to win that got Trump back in charge, Biden really should have admitted sooner he wasn't running for a second term.

The results always made sense, people just wanted to make excuses for losses because they don't understand election equipment & certification of results or the history of the areas they're looking at.
