Twitter CEO Musk responded in a tweet: 'The Constitution is greater than any President. End of story'.
Just before 8am on Saturday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to assert that Musk's exposé, published by journalist Matt Taibbi, proved 2020 was 'fraudulent' and called to strip current election laws from the US Constitution.

What Donald Trump said, could be taken either way.
But do you know the genius of Elon Musk?
What *HE* said could ALSO be taken either way.
“The Constitution is greater than any President.”
Trump? Biden? Which one did Musk mean?
People get all woo woo about it. Some carry it around in their breast pocket.
Obviously.
I’m sure some believe he was only talking about Biden, though.
If it is observed, it damn well is something to “woo woo” about.
If it isn’t observed, it is no better than Mao’s Little Red Book the Communists carried around “in their breast pocket”.
Yes! the constitution is that great.
Fraud does void all contracts.
There’s only one way to silence the allegations of 2020 election fraud.
Give President Trump his day in court and let him present all evidence supporting his allegations. They gave Al Gore his multiple days in court on much slimmer evidence.
It is truly astonishing that this has happened.
The tens of millions of Trump supporters will never accept that he lost, unless and until Trump is given his day in court, no matter what stupid names they call us, like ‘election deniers’.
The burden of proof is on them, and so far they have failed miserably.
I am not one of those.
I believe Trump's remarks were framed more in the Declaration of Independence than in the person of Joseph Robinette Biden.
And believe me, I hated hearing it. But what Trump said is the truth, in my opinion.
“Honestly, is the Constitution that great?”
Yes, never before has a founding document such as the Constitution been written forming a government designed to protect its people from an oppressive government.
You can still be a conservative without being a constitutional conservative. And you can keep a republic that isn’t a constitutional republic.
terminate he did not say, massive fraud allows for the termination
“Honestly, is the Constitution that great?”
Practically Divinely inspired. Maybe actually Divinely inspired.
Q for Musk: How many conservatives are still being banned by Twitter?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Agreed. Poorly expressed. Trump should know better by now.
Declare the rightful winner? Call for a new election?
This is what Trump is asking.
Yes, those are the things he is asking for,, but they are not the things you do, as they are not in the Constitution. You follow the Constitution, not “terminate” it (his words).
Following the Constitution and our law, means that if you have a grievance, you must gather evidence, and present it. What evidence has Trump actually gathered and presented? Please, be specific.
I’m not saying Trump wasn’t robbed, as I truly believe he probably was, I’m just asking where is the evidence he’s gathered of who exactly did it, and how? That’s how our system rightfully works. Innocent until PROVEN guilty, thank goodness.
I’ve not really seen much specific evidence of exactly how the election was stolen, which is why I’m frustrated with Trump. He’s had 2 years to gather evidence, and collected about $200 million for his “Election Security Fund” back in early 2021.
There are many legal avenues he could have taken, or tried since then, but never did. Instead, he has spent that money on other things he enjoys, like rallies, and now wants us to throw out our brilliant founding and guiding document, the Constitution?
Again I ask, where is the specific evidence that would warrant such a thing? A movie or two by Mike Lindell and Dinesh D’Souza? You know of something more? Did Trump himself have anything to do with it? Or does he just think he doesn’t have to follow any rules, even the Constitution?
There is no “election” in the Constitution that
involves individuals voting.
************
Be careful now and don’t upset the ‘apple cart’. The rulers
in this land have changed drastically since 1492.
The Jan 6-7 process was NOT fraudulent. Whether anyone likes it or not, the Electoral Collega ballots were reviewed, all were counted, Biden/Harris each got a majority, and they were lawfully declared the winners.
What is debatable is that the state=level contests were fraudulrnt. However, the timelines were set. The process called for duly elected officials to perform necessary reviews to try to ensure that fraud could be rooted out. Now of course there is always a chance that they might slip up. But, that process on making sure that the process can’t slip up must be solved long before and in many contests besides the Presidential Election. There are county, legislature, state-level, and congressional offices to be filled.
We certainly know now that many bad actors in the media and Big Tech conspired to materially impact the Election with fraud and that they actually succeeded in doing this. This Hunter Biden story and the margins in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan have well-demonstrated this. So, they and their supporters/apologists have destroyed their credibility.
Nevertheless, there is ZERO chance of Trump ever getting my vote now if he doesn’t understand his mistake now. His failure to show that he truly understands/respects the Constitution on this matter is too risky to ever consider him a respectable President in the future.
Trump worded it to have many meanings. However, the only way he would be installed is if the constitution was rolled.
It wasn’t the Constitution that precipitated the fraud. How would suspending what was violated contribute to a solution. Trump completely lost me on this one.
Do you know of any better?
Read it again, and think about it carefully.
