Musk spent over $290 million to put Trump in the White House.

He’s $640 billion richer today. Not a bad investment.

Now he’s spending up to $200 million to try to keep Republicans in control of Congress.

Our job: Stop Musk. Stop Trump. Elect Progressives. End Citizens United.

Bernie Sanders on X: “ Our job: Stop Musk. Stop Trump. Elect Progressives. End Citizens United”

Musk probably lost a bunch of contracts and the good will of anti-Trump former customers, that the real number is impossible to determine. We also know that unless you want to stop people and organizations from buying cars and trucks and satellite launches and AI services and satellite phone service, he would have made that money anyway.

The irony is that Sanders chose to further enrich Musk by posting complaint on his X platform, I guess Blue Sky (or whatever it is called) doesn’t get the word out.

(Full disclosure: my next Data Center assignment may be at Musk’s xAI plant in Memphis for a sub-contractor. I am glad he might share some of his income with my employer in exchange for my work.)

A whole bunch of companies that DIDN’T contribute to Trump, or who contributed to both sides are also much richer today.

Just like LeeHarveyOswald.

Nowadays, the favored trip is to an Isis camp or some EU ‘Ellhole that supports hamas (which is every EU country).

Wait, Musk allowed Bernie to post on X? What happened to his Superoligarch powers? I guess only the left stomps on the opposition’s free speech.

Why not? Musk believes in free speech! By letting Bernie post he’s demonstrating it. You know if the shoe was on the other foot it wouldn’t happen. Bravo Musk!

Ironic since communism/socialism is also an oligarchy, inner party, outer party

Bernie is probably ignorant of the conditions for the causal hypothesis to be proven:

1. A (such as a campaign contribution) must occur before B, and

2. B and only B must be shown to be the only cause of B’s occurrence.

Woe is the day the NY City draft dodger moved to Vermont!
