that worked out great for wisconsin didn't it...?
-
Alright, time to start primarying if you're not totally full of shit, elon.
-
So almost all of them?
-
Nope. 51-50.
-
My brain in a sleepy state injected the word "Republican" in the title. Lol, oops.
-
That's the senate
-
-
-
Democracy is when the richest man on Earth can help elect the politicians he likes.
-
One of the rare times Elon and I are on the same side
The Big Beautiful Bill bans all legislation that regulate AI and more importantly, bans Transgender Healthcare for all but the very rich.
-
Oh, this is going to get good, isn't it?
-
No. Trump will threaten NASAs contracts with SpaceX and musk will say "sorry daddy".
-
That's the neat part, NASA has already been severely cut by this bill.
-
MACO!
-
-
An explosion of dumpster fires.

If Elonazi actually manages to maintain the attention span to see this through over the next 1.5-2yrs, I'm all in and here for it...
But, the reality side of me holds little to no hope this particular tantrum will last. Especially given Mafia Don Mangolini holds the checkbook for all Elonazi's gov't "income". 🤡 🖕 💩
-
I do not like that Elon Musk.
Never uttered a word I believe or trust.
He has fathered and fled more kids than Nick Cannon.
With a soul and heart more grotesque than Steve Bannon.
When he goes to jail the world will dance.
Until then we can smile as he pisses his pants.
-
Oh, you don't like Elon? I couldn't tell, @JailElonMusk. 😆
-
Took me a long time to figure out why you didn’t rhyme the last word
-
Beautiful
-
-
Good, also fuck him
-
I wish they fight to the death
-
And both loose
-
-
-
I want this Nazi FUCK out of my country
-
*planet
-
I want him removed from the Space-Time Continuum

He's gonna be the first person denaturalized for his "nazi rhetoric" as a theatrical farce of normalizing deporting US citizens. It'll be in a "this is what u dem's asked for" way with tv propagandists showing hand selected tweets calling for musk's deportation from liberal pfp accounts.
-
I think it's all theater to win over all the rightwing folx that he cultivated during this tour. These are the folx that are gonna be hurt the most from this bill and are just ignorant enough to buy a Tesla out of some weird culty appreciation. Mans trying to salvage a lagging brand.
-
-
Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? He threatens to 'primary' members of Congress?
I've tried searching, and that wasn't much help, employees of said member are to quickly start looking for another job. Something happens at the end of term.. And a Time magazine article, which was beyond useless in explaining what it is.
I'm none the wiser.. 🤷

Congress members in the US are elected in constituencies. For each constituency each party typically fields one candidate. Before the actual election, the parties hold primary elections to determine the candidate for the constituency for that particular party. Pretty much anyone can run in these primaries. Your chance of winning very much depends on the support, i.e. funding you have. If Elmo decides to fund candidates that would challenge the incumbents in the primaries, he could likely unseat quite a few of them on account of having a lot of money. And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
-
Thank you. Every time I think the US election system couldn't be any more open to corruption, I'm proven wrong. Learning something new every day.
-
And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
Agreed, and it's worth noting the Republican party has done the same thing to candidates who weren't far enough to the right.
-
-
-
they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth
Win win.
-
I used to think that romance subplots in movies/tv shows are so ridiculous, then I see this divorce on the news. 🤣
-
Pretty much my only hope at this point is that these two fuckers will take each other down.
-
If one wins the fight, I'd want it to be Elon because he doesn't have the following Trump does.
Elon's already on his way down from his pedestal, all he'd gain from attacking Trump is taking Agent Orange down with him.
Therefore who I root for in the feud is without question, Elon The Musky Husky.

-
"Look, democrats, I'm on your side again! Please buy my cars"
-
Elon's only concern is those government handouts his companies have been getting.
He doesn't care about the trillions in US debt, people losing health insurance or anything that doesn't affect him.
-
He didn't say that... He wants a third party.
-
Thats a much better scenario for dems than him pandering to dems

-
The best use of a Tesla, is having it on fire and blocking ICE traffickers.
...honestly, that might actually be a good way to protect our communities. Teslas would make for a decent gatehouse barricade at anti-trafficking checkpoints. Nothing of value is lost if a ICE vehicle tries to force their way through.

-
Ok so wtf?
“Why aren’t you as genocidal as my family!”
Next to….
“I’m trying to fuck my daughter as hard as I can!”
The rest of us….

Looks like Musk has been hitting the Ketamine again. He's going to be wearing a diaper permanently if he keeps this up. Not that anyone cares about him I guess.
-
I mean, go ahead Muskrat, but please also go the fuck away.
-
Primary with who? They're all MAGA.
-
Baby boy’s heart is still broken.
-
If I can't have him....
-
-
Is he going to invent something worse than MAGA? !
-
Yes, the X party, most likely 🙄
-
-
Is ‘primary’ as a verb a thing?
-
People have been trying to make it a thing for a while. I don't know whether or not it started at a news outlet, but multiple news outlets have picked it up, so...
-
[Nods in English]
-
Trump had been using it to threaten Republican politicians who didn't do what he wanted, said that he'd support their opponents in primary elections. I hadn't heard it prior than that.
-
-
Good!
-
Primary them with his own toadies he means
-
Do it if you're not a bussy.

No he won’t. This is just an old man with dementia and a ketamine addicted Nazi having a terrible rap battle to commit market manipulation.
