Summary

Elon Musk has reportedly been staying at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate since Trump’s election win, raising eyebrows with his frequent presence and involvement.

Musk, who has donated millions to Trump’s reelection, was recently seen dining with the former president and even joined a call with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

Although he has no formal role, sources say Musk is influencing Trump’s decisions and staffing.

Veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher warns Musk may eventually be ousted, noting Trump “goes through people like tissues.”

      I don’t believe that theory. How does an ISP impact the functionality of a voting machine, especially when they have paper copies of the ballots? It’s not like they were running SpaceX software on the machine, just using it as an Internet connection to report results to a centralized database. Conspiracies like this are what we fought against in 2020, when the QAnon fools thought Hugo Chavez and Dominion stole the election from Trump.

        Plus, the Dems just got outplayed. Rubes went deep into every social media environment while the Dems acted like it was still 2002.

        Edit: all they had to do was go on podcasts and even X and share memes of Lima Khan as Ghengis raiding the corpos and talk about how they were coming after each and every one. Shut up about Trump. It was that easy.

      Please stop. We don’t need a blue “stop the steal”, take this L and learn from it instead of boosting impossible conspiracies about Starlink and packet tampering
