Real Americans and the Free World doesn’t suck dictators 🇺🇸
We do not like Marxists.

THE DESPERATION IS MAKIN THEM NUTZZZ FOLKS
Putin is the puppeteer. He controls Trump and Musk.
Here we go again….Russia Russia Russia!!!!
👎👎👎👎👎👎
Every one of those past “ presidents rubbed elbows with Putin! Billy boy clinton, the Nazi Bush family, and spaghetti legs obammy and the biden crime family! They all have nice pics with Puty baby!
BLOOMBERG ARE THE LOWEST FORM OF HUMAN BEINGS EVER. LIES AND DECEPTION ARE ALL YOU HAVE. NO ONE TRUSTS YOU PEOPLE ANYMORE AND THE REPORTS YOU TELL US. PATHETIC
Russia, Russia, Russia! You can tell it’s an election year. Fear mongering !

And Hunter Biden contact with Zelenskyy… that’s how capitalism works
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really?
the rats are desperate……fucking russian stuff again
Who is the source of this info? If this question can’t be answered or if the answer is unnamed sources then it is just election interference!
You know what's hilarious is people like the new Thomas Edison Elon musk are in Donald Trump's cabinet and now they're even waging war against Elon musk because he's with Donald Trump and half these people wouldn't amount to an imperfection on Elon musk butt
People have to be gullible fools to believe this BS about a Trump supporter like Musk being attacked right before the election!! RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA BAD!! LOL
The Justice Department is gonna tear Elon’s life apart,
Those MAGA cultists who try to cash those $1m lottery checks… will suddenly find their Bank accounts seize by the FBI and face RICO and Felony bribery charges – being the recipient of a criminal act. AND the fact that Musk controls Starlink, servicing Ukraine communications and drone strikes via contract w/ the US Military ~ is a clear act of Espionage …that clown is going to find himself in Guantanamo bay
We should be very concerned that someone like Elon Musk is sending so many satellites into space. If it turns out that he is building a military system that allows him to attack some country, or interfere with some nation's military or satellite signals, then we are all at his mercy. It is dangerous to allow so much power to someone with so much money and such a deteriorating moral foundation.
He should face trial and be sentenced for life, as this is just another example of how he believes he's above the law. Surprise mf, you're nothing but a delusional rich criminal. Blechhh
Marxist Communist Propaganda Smear Tactic.
As CNN reports over the past three years, Elon Musk has met dozens of times with presidents, prime ministers, lawmakers, government officials and political candidates from around the world.
I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated.
Who likes dictators?
Retired Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, who served as Trump’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Bob Woodward in his recent book “War” that Trump was “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country.” And retired Gen. Jim Mattis, who worked as U.S. secretary of defense under Trump, reportedly later told Woodward that he agreed with Milley’s assessment.
So a business man does business with Russia & that’s bad but our own government officials launder money through the Ukraine & that’s ok? Got it🤪
This is not having the splash the dems hoped for. In fact, I think this is backfiring on them and they don't know what to do about it!
Ref Musk vote buying:
Focusing solely on swing states for these cash giveaways strongly suggests an intent to influence election outcomes, which could be interpreted as vote buying. Swing states play a critical role in deciding U.S. presidential elections, so targeting voters in these areas with financial incentives raises significant legal and ethical red flags.
Under U.S. election law, even indirect offers, such as prizes tied to political petitions, can be scrutinized if they are seen as attempts to manipulate voting behavior. The fact that Musk’s program specifically targets swing states makes it appear more like an effort to "buy influence" or encourage turnout in a way that disproportionately benefits his preferred candidate (Donald Trump).
If election authorities determine that the prize scheme constitutes an inducement to vote in a particular way—or to sway outcomes—it could lead to investigations for potential voter bribery violations. Such behavior could undermine the integrity of the election process and might even trigger legal action.
