If our side wins, Elon, you will experience severe economic pain. It will be a necessary temporary hardship.

Not even, you could literally take 90% of Elon Musk’s money and it wouldn’t really hurt any more than it hurts to see one’s score in a video game go down. He’d still be among the richest people on the planet.

I’m just quoting him.

I know, I was just pointing out how, with the wealth he has, economic hardship just doesn’t really happen for him in the same way it does for everyone else

“I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he’s going to go to prison if Trump loses,” Carlson said.

Elon, what have you been up to?! No wonder you’re so fired up for Trump to win. Does this have anything to do with all those phone calls to Putin these past couple years? The ones that started around the time the Putin invaded Ukraine and you got put on the hook to buy Twitter?

If Elon and Trump go to jail in 2025-2026 I will be the happiest person in the fucking world.

If Tesla collapses and the Tesla that I own becomes worthless I won’t even care. Fuck Tesla and fuck Elon and fuck anyone Elon and Trump associate with.

We need to burn them all to the ground.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
