After the election Trump claimed Elon fixed Penn for him, if he was able to extend that ability to other states from his role in office then it would make sense that he doesn’t need to spend more

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MEH.
MAKE ELON HOMELESS
He will fund them through PACs in secret like his peers
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
If they keep shielding themselves from consequences we will become the consequences.
In the days of crypto and tax havens, you really think we can track this? He will still donate millions of dollars, he will just close his big mouth and use workarounds, non-profits and shell corporations to donate and obscure the source. This is all PR.
It'll all be super PAC donations. Because that's untracked and allows for unlimited donations.
See you at Nuremburg, you nazi piece of shit
Oh, he will come sniveling back to bend the knee.
He's not going anywhere. He already bought his influence. Now he has more leverage over Republicans in advance of the 2026 elections.
I think he just knows the midterms are going to be a massacre for Republicans no matter how much money they throw at it, so he's going to sit it out to retain the aura of being a kingmaker. It's the same thing Rupert Murdoch does, when Liberals/Conservatives/Republicans have no chance of winning in the next election, he'll suck up to Labour/Labor/Democrats and get concessions from them in exchange for support and to keep the illusion in place that his media empire can make anyone win elections.
the midterms are going to be a massacre for Republicans no matter how much money they throw at it,
I don't think that assumption will age well
I wonder how big a carnage the Republicans will have in the midterm elections.
I fear less then Reddit thinks.
the midterms are going to be a massacre for Republicans
Democrats are going to walk into 2026 saying "Everyone hates Republicans, ergo we can't possibly lose" and run some of the most heinous, criminally incompetent campaigns to date.
No doubt, but there's no way they don't take at least the house back even by doing nothing. At least for midterms candidates can tailor their message more to what people in the district want to hear, instead of having to run on 'I'll be exactly like Joe Biden but black'.
